Also, various bits of dialogue suggest that Kara’s the only one who hadn’t previously existed on Earth-1 (well, and Superman, but since that was just Deegan changing himself…)… So that means Alex Danvers and James Olsen are (mostly) confirmed as existing on Earth-1.
Which suggests there’s probably a Barry Allen and Oliver Queen on Earth-38. They just never became heroes. Without the STAR Labs incident, Barry wouldn’t have gotten his powers, and Oliver’s life probably didn’t get turned upside down, so it’s not a huge stretch. (But is it a Grant Gustin Barry Allen or a John Wesley Shipp Barry Allen? And is Earth-90’s Barry Allen an older version of Barry Allen, or another version of Henry Allen who got a different name, like Jay Garrick?) Would be fun for them to have the DEO investigating an alien incident in Central City and the CSI they have to coordinate with is Barry…
They were coy about it, but it’s easy enough to figure out given that Arrow is getting long in the tooth and Stephen Amell is probably ready to move on.
That was my thought, but apparently someone from the show suggested it was the hammer Superman uses to make suns to feed his baby Sun-Eater in All-Star Superman.
The problem I have with Batgirl is that Ruby Rose looks as though a stiff breeze would knock her over. I mean, she *could *be an amazing martial artist, but I’d really prefer they’d gotten someone a bit more believable as a fighter, someone with a body like Ronda Rousey’s.
And what was with her landing on the roof of the car and crushing it? Does she weigh a lot more than she looks like she does?
In terms of alternate realities, Legends showed three in an hour, with a helluva lot more implied. Elseworlds had only two in three hours. As the Monitor said, this was a failure of Dr Deegan’s imagination.
The Trigger Twins (which Barry and Oliver “became” in the third episode) is the same name as a pair of Western heroes that appeared in at least one issue of Crisis on Infinite Worlds (or maybe a tie-in). As I understood it, they were identical twins. One was a sheriff, and somehow it wasn’t generally known that he had a twin and so they were able to capture outlaws more easily.
In the tie-in I read, a heroine named Firebrand (from the All-Star Squadron, I think) worked with them and some other heroes from older issues of DC Comics (like the Shining Knight and the Iron Maiden) to save the day.
There’s a more recent set of Trigger Twins, who are more likely the direct reference - a pair of western-themed twin villains, who fought Azrael when he was Batman.
