Crisis on Infinite Earths starts on Sunday in America. It's looking like it should be an amazing event but we've been screwed over here in the UK because nobody is airing Batwoman so part of the event will just be missing for us. There seem to be rumours going around that because it's a new show it wasnt shopped around to the UK straight away to avoid losing streaming rights once their service launches.

Well that blows. I was looking forward to it as well. :(

Even though Supergirl, Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow all are available here, I can't watch it as Arrow and Flash aren't available. It's a shame as I am quite interested in this event having recently (like, three years ago?) read the Crisis on Infinite Earths book.

There were definitely some issues with this episode (the shadow army fights looking crappy and Oliver's meh last stand) but overall I enjoyed it. I'm not as annoyed about Oliver's death as I would usually be because I dont believe for a minute that this is really it for him. Nice to see both versions of Ollie get some time with Sara, I always enjoy their interactions and feel like they get a bit short changed in these crossovers sometimes.

Some good cameos at the beginning, especially Batman 89 and 66.

Can't wait for the next episode and more Supermen. Wish we were getting more than just the expected cameo from Tom Welling but Routh's Superman looks like he should make up for it.

Oh and Mia's Green Arrow costume should have a hood!

I'm glad to see they didn't mess around with keeping Oliver dead for long. Interested to see where they take his story from here but it does feel oddly seperated from the rest of Crisis.

The Smallville scene was about the length I expected. It's a shame we didn't get more but I also thought it was a nice extra finale for Smallville, showing Clark and Lois actually living a proper life (don't think I agree that he'd give up being Superman after he all he went through to become him but that's just me).

Routh's Superman was amazing as expected. He's upped the game a bit from Superman Returns and you can really tell it's the same character, just a bit older and wiser.

Batman! Not what we were all expecting with him being an evil version but it was great hearing that damn voice again.

It did maybe feel like a bit of a filler episode but I'm trying to judge these on a whole so these kind of episodes are necessary to get the proper character development we want.

I only watch Supergirl, and haven't watched any of the latest season's episodes (7 recorded thus far) until the Batwoman Crisis hour episode hits our screens, the other episodes from relevant series are recorded ready to go.

I've been working through Batwoman and as soon as the Crisis episode is on I'm cutting out. It's just not good.

Well Ruby Rose is leaving the show and being replaced if that was a factor at all.

Brandon Routh should take over

Stephanie Beatriz seems to be angling herself and the producers want another queer actor so you never know. 

And I'm assuming she's mostly joking but I wonder if that means they know the 8th season of B99 will be the last.

Yeah I saw her tweet. Personally I’d prefer her to stay with B99. Someone did mention though that they might not want to go with someone her age for a show that could potentially go on for years.

Well she was quite the wooden actress, but the whole cast is pretty poor. 

They're just not introducing anyone of a) note, b) memorable. Apart from Alice (obviously their female Joker) which they are focusing way too much on, the whole Beth thing could be stretched out over a couple of seasons, however they cant bank the success will last that long so are just dumping it out all at once. All I can remember is Magpie, their Catwoman who wears a white wig so is a clone of Black Cat from Spider-Man.

There's only 5 years difference between them.

Although I was surprised to learn SB is 39!

I've just noticed that E4 are trying to fuck me over. When reading about when the Batwoman Crisis episode was back in April, article said May, naturally coming to the end of that and no episode forthcoming so checked the article and episode listing to see if I fucked up. Nope, should've been episode 9. Turns out they've skipped it entirely and apparently going to tack it on the end of the season in about 10 weeks time and I'm not having that. Hoisting the Jolly Roger when I get home from work...
