^Pretty sure that's the same story that has Batman infamously declare that "I'm the god damn Batman".

As for Lex replacing Brandon Routh's Superman, I'm torn. On one hand I really like his Superman. On the other hand I can't help but be amused by what a hilariously petty act that was by Lex.

That's the very one.

Also, I was sad that Michael Rosenbaum didn't come back for a cameo in this, but... damn it, Jon Cryer is freakin' awesome and at his scenery-schewing best form, here. Too bad we had to lose Routh's Superman so soon, but I'm hopeful he's gonna come back - like most of everyone - we still have two episodes to go, after all.

If this ends like the comic book arc, which it most likely will, I don't think he's going to come back.

I mean, c'mon... Black Lightning has his own series. So do the Legends (Routh's still going to be on the next season, after all). Most of the people from Supergirl, Flash and Batwoman, probably needs to come back.

Maybe, instead of The Atom, it's Kindom Come Superman that comes back to the next season of Legends? I mean, we are getting Ryan Choi, after all... That would be freakin' awesome.

I think you misunderstood me.

Spoiler for Possible end based on the comic book:

Of course everyone from those series is going to come back, but this time they'll be on the same and only Earth. That means only once instance of each character can exist, so only Supergirl's Superman will come back.

Spoiler for For events:

They kinda killed Teen Titans and those are definetely are coming back (and probably on their own universe). I think Earth-666 with Lucifer is going to stay separated as well. So Brandon Routh's Superman's Universe might get revived as well.

Spoiler for Possible ending:

Now that you mention it, Titans can't coexist with Batwoman, so having only one Earth for all DC TV series is not possible.

Or since Titans is not officially part of the Arrowverse, they're going to completely ignore this cross-over and keep doing their own thing not caring what happens in other series. They'll just say the ones we saw getting erased aren't the ones from the show, and were just included as a reference.

Black Lighting is a different matter since there was a tie in with the cross-over in its latest episode apparently. I don't watch the series though, so I don't know if there would be an issue with having it share the same Earth as the other series.

[BetoJR]

Yeah, we’re gonna have to wait for the crossover’s conclusion, but I’m not sure this is gonna end the same way as the comics. We’ll see.

[Kanon]

And the Crisis is over.

Spoiler for part 4 and 5:

Barry meeting his movieverse counterpart was unexpected and pretty awesome.

Oliver did most of the heavylifting in the end. He died twice in the same cross-over, but this time it looks like he really will stay dead, which makes me wonder what will happen to Arrow. I know it's in its final season but they still have episodes remaining, right?

They made it look like the end was mostly the same as that of the comics, but it turns out the multiverse is still there. Kingdom Come Superman never truly came back, he was in the Superman returns suit so we can surmise the events of Kingdom Come never happened in this new Earth-96. Only showed up on screen for five seconds too.

Anyway, Supergirl (and her whole gang) and more surprisingly Black Lighting are now on Earth-1, or rather, Earth-Prime. There should plenty of changes, aside from the ones we've seen. Speaking of which, Superman being surprised he has sonS made no sense since he isn't a Paragon and should therefore have his memories of Earth-Prime. I mean, it's not like J'on was overwriting their memories, he just shared his.

Overall, I'd say this cross-over was worth the hype. Now to wait for the movie version, in 15 years or so

Spoiler for Comics:

The biggest threat now in the Arrowverse: a whiny Kyptonian teen who will complain about how bad things have been since the Crisis.

I really didn't want to like The Batman, but it looks good. Looks like they're going with either a Hush or Red Hood storyline.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Yeah, to this day, I still fail to see what's all the hoopla surrounding JL Snyder Cut. I mean, sure, the movie will have Darkseid, black-outfit Superman with better face and more character scenes. But if the execution is still as bad as MOS & BVS, those extra scenes will only prolong your suffering . Don't get me wrong though, I'm still hoping that the upcoming JL SC will be good. After all, nobody wants a torture (unless you're into that kink ).

Also, it's hilarious watching some people who bashed MOS & BVS for their drabness and muted colors now jumping up and down when they see the SC trailer with the same drabness & muted colors .

As for The Batman trailer........I'm mixed but cautiously optimistic. After all, Matt Reeves was the guy who made one of the best Hollywood remakes of foreign movies (Let Me In) out there since The Ring and directed the last two of Planet of the Apes reboot which were great if not fantastic.

The only trailers who gave me pure Joy is both the Suicide Squad game & movie:

And WW84 trailer is perfectly fine. Let's see how the real movie will play out:

Isn't it the Riddler? Unless they're trying to cram several villains into one movie, which is rarely a good idea.

I wish Rocksteady had done another Batman game with the same premise (Justice League brainwashed by Brainac), since I couldn't care less about the Suicide Squad. Battling the JL members as Batman though? That would have been amazing. Yeah, it would have been similar to Injustice's plot, but whatever. At least there's still Gotham Kni-pff hahahaha.

I'm still shocked the Synder Cut is happening. I'd be willing to watch it just for that, but the trailer honestly doesn't look bad, so my expectations are actually increasing.

[Ithekro]

I don't particularly care about The Suicide Squad, but the game trailer was funny. The last bit with Boomerang asking if they figured out who they are killing, and they all just point, he glances, and than just swears, is gold.

[Wandering Soul]

The Batman looks good. Curious as to which storyline they'll go with.

I don't really care about the Synder cut or Suicide Squad, though the latter's trailer was amusing.

The Rock’s Black Adam Production Begins on DC Comics Film:

"Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson dropped a boulder on his fans this week by posting a Black
Adam photo on Instagram to kick off production finally beginning for the long-awaited film.

“History in the making, extremely excited and what a humbling moment to share with
you,” Johnson wrote. “Officially kicking off Day 1 of filming our Black Adam.” While the
official plot of the DC film is unknown, the cast of characters is exciting; Aldis Hodge
(Invisible Man) is Hawkman, Pierce Brosnan (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Lightning
Thief) is Dr. Fate, Noah Centineo (Masters of the Universe) is Atom Smasher, Sarah Shahi
is Isis, and Quintessa Swindell is Cyclone."

Just watched the first three episodes of Titans season 3... damn, Red Hood is ruthless.

[Kanon]

I haven't watched them, but it seems like a terrible idea to introduce Red Hood

Spoiler for In case someone out there doesn't know who Red Hood is:

one episode after Jason died. And apparently his identity was even revealed already.

They should have waited until the next season. Assuming there'll be one of course.

It's particularly hilarious when you think about how much time it took Dick to become Nightwing after he abandoned the Robin identity.
