Holy crap! DCEU-Flash on TV! I literally shouted out loud when Ezra Miller showed up. The cameo to end all cameos, unless Grant Gustin shows up in the Flash movie. I can’t believe that they were able to keep this one under wraps, since every other cameo got leaked. Great bit with them admiring each other’s suits. So it’s canon now that movie-Flash got his name from TV-Flash.
The second cameo with “Marv”, the autograph-seeker, was Marv Wolfman the writer of the original Crisis on Infinite Earths. He was the one responsible for killing Supergirl and the Flash in the comics, so it’s rather ironic he shows up here getting their autographs.
The shadow demons showed up again and fight scenes against them were once again underwhelming. The main problem is that they never actually showed us what the shadow demons could do. They merely existed to be punching bags for our heroes. Fake Beebo managed to be more menacing; we actually know what the real one could do.
Instead of merging all the universes, it looks like we’ve got a new multiverse. Barry, Kara, and Jefferson on Earth-Prime. Stargirl and the JSA on a new Earth-2. Titans on another Earth. Poor Swamp Thing all alone on his own Earth. The Doom Patrol on another. Also the Green Lantern Corp and then Brandon Routh-Superman.
So are actually getting a live action Justice League on TV? Or is it just the Super Friends?
So, presumably Oliver tweaked the new universe to put all his friends on the same Earth (now designated Prime instead 1)?
Sounds like Lena and Kara will be friends again (which will make my wife happy, if she starts watching Supergirl again).
Historical Lex on Prime was apparently a good guy (but of course, he has pretended that before). However, since he was a paragon, he is actually the evil Lex from Earth-1 with those memories (see the wink to Kara), so hijinks will presumably ensue (if Cryer wants to keep the role, and why wouldn’t he - it looks like fun).
'I know - lets all stand here and look at the bright light and think positive thoughts - ok GO!"
Beebo was fantastic - I laughed outloud.
I ‘thought’ the ending montage of other earth’s was confusing - we’ve been told both that there is only one earth and now that there is still a multi-verse. I thought maybe that the montage was a ‘goodbye’ to the other known heros.
And you can’t have a justice league without WonderWoman and Aquaman.
Lex (our Lex, that is) is from the now-merged Earth-38. After Kara deals with him (and you know she will), I assume they’ll want to keep him around as a foil for Superman and Lois. The show has been ordered to series, which will premiere some time next year.
Gleek is the space monkey belonging to Zan and Jana, the Wonder Twins, from the Super Friends cartoon, from which the Hall of Justice as well as the closing theme song were also derived.
The JSA is the Justice Society of America, the precursor to the Justice League. The Legends encountered a version of them in 1942 (on Earth-1) which included Vixen (who joined the Legends) and Stargirl. A new Stargirl series, featuring a different version of the JSA and Stargirl, will be showing on DC Universe streaming service to also be broadcast on the CW (Stargirl trailer).
Batwoman is indeed from Earth-1 and also present on Earth-Prime. The Crisis has basically merged all the CW shows (Batwoman, Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Black Lightning) into the same universe. Other shows like Titans and Doom Patrol, which aren’t on the CW, remain separate.
Arrow still has two episodes to go. The next one will be Green Arrow and the Canaries, a back door pilot for a spin-off series involving Mia Smoak and the Canaries. I don’t know what they’re going to do for the finale episode, since Oliver is doubly-dead, but I hear that Felicity will be making a final appearance.

Gotta be surreal as hell for a comic writer suddenly finding himself face to face with the characters he’s written about.
I was…whelmed. The Anti-Monitor fights were a solid “meh”. The “let’s all stare” finish was groan-inducingly bad for both me & Mrs. D_Odds. Supergirl steeling her nerve while flying towards the A-M was unintentionally laugh-out-loud funny in its awefulness.
Also, if Supergirl is pulling the cable to trip Beebo (best part of these two episodes), what are the others needed for? What strength feat can’t Supergirl handle that Supergirl and ‘Rebecca’ can?
According to Marc Guggenheim, it was Warner Bros. that approached them about the possibility to include Ezra Miller and not the other way around. From Variety:
The cameo was so secret that not even Grant’s fellow cast members knew about it.
Ok, three characters from the final battle- the girl in the blue suit firing rings of power, the dude with the hockey mask and guns and the girl with ice powers.
Not to mention in earlier episodes there was a similar girl in a blue outfit escorting people off planet, and then a woman in a black suit with a star on her chest.
I kept thinking “Well, it’s no Endgame, but for third-rate TV shows, they’re doing… okay. So why do I keep watching it?”
But then they’d throw in a little easter egg and I’d get giddy and say “That’s why I keep watching!” Beebo, Lucifer, Constantine, Marv, Smallville Clark, Jim Corrigan, unapologetically using Brandon Routh for Supes2 and Ray ("There’s a super-me?”), the Doom Patrol, Ezra Miller…
Nia Nal/Dreamer from Supergirl - main power is precognition, but can also fire psychic blasts; a distant ancestor of Dream Girl from the Legion of Super Heroes
Rene Ramirez/Wild Dog from Arrow - he wears a hockey mask and shoots things
Killer Frost/Caitlin Snow from The Flash - ice, frost, and snow powers
She’s the same girl Nia Nal.
I have no idea to whom you’re referring. There are several female characters that wear a black suit, but none feature a star on the chest.
