According to you who should be the narrator? Since the comic will focus on characters who wont be seen on the televised crossover? 

Fine I get her inclusion in that case, still dont get why she needs to be the narrator when actual characters known to tell and write stories in the "in universe" like Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Iris West, Kara Danvers are right there. It doesnt feel organic as Guggie likes to say. 

But I guess being organic goes out the window when it comes to his pet favorites.

Narrator doesnt mean writing the story though. Its usually someone telling the story. And its happening during Batwoman. If Oliver dies as early as Batwoman having Felicity be the one telling the story packs a punch. The characters you mentioned are busy with Crisis that will be shown on TV screen.

Marc said that this comic provides some background to what is happening during the crossover. Those characters aren't narrating this story because they are actually IN the crossover. This story is happening offscreen and is going to be referenced on screen.

From what I read they wanted to do the tie-in comics to tell the stories they couldn't on the screen, so while a few characters that are in the crossover show up, the main characters of this story are characters that probably won't. Considering Felicity is one of the main characters of this tie-in, and it makes sense for the narrator to be one of the main characters, I don't think it's that strange for her to be the narrator.

I don't think narrating necessarily means writing the story, but that she's the one who has the boxes on the page with her pov. Terrible description, sorry. I can't think of a good example at the moment, but those boxes they have in comics with the thoughts and viewpoints of the character. There could be a conversation going on between 2 characters and then the box might say something like, 'Actually, she's right. I am scared'

She makes sense to me as the narrator because she's part of Team Arrow, married to the lead of arguably the entire team of superheroes, and as a longtime regular in the Arrowverse this is a good way to tie her into the narrative when the actress isn't in the scene.

That being said, I agree in wishing that we got to see more of Iris and Kara's reporting and their lives outside of being part of superhero teams. Supergirl (the show) especially seems to not value Catco/reporting/the secret identity anymore which is a bummer. (Lois and Clark are still guests right now during crossovers so I don't mind we're not getting anything deep into their "normal" lives.)

At Rolling Stone: Inside 'Crisis on Infinite Earths,' CW's DC Crossover Event, interview with Guggenheim with behind-the-scenes info:

Quote

Black Lightning, meanwhile, not only takes place on another parallel Earth, but films thousands of miles away from the other shows, in Georgia. Guggenheim initially assumed that, at most, Black Lightning star Cress Williams might be able to shoot a brief cameo (which would be his first onscreen interaction with Amell, Gustin, and the others). But when Guggenheim called that show’s executive producer, Salim Akil, he says Akil told him, “‘If Black Lightning’s going to be a part of it, it has to be more than just a cameo. It has to be a meaningful appearance.'” Akil’s team helped clear Williams’ calendar, while playing the same role the producers on all the individual series do when their characters participate in a crossover, Guggenheim says: “Keeping us honest, doing dialogue passes, reviewing cuts, and making sure the version of Black Lightning that we were depicting was the correct version.”

...

Beyond the guest-star logistics — not to mention what Guggenheim calls the “budgetary aneurysm” that comes from moving regulars from show to show (“All the actors get paid a special crossover rate, which is higher than their regular episodic rate”) — there are more fundamental storytelling questions behind such an event. Though not every one of the dozens of characters to appear can get an arc of their own, he says, “it was very important that the five leads each had an emotional story that took you all the way from hour one to hour five.” This means a lot of interaction between Oliver and Barry, as the two heroes who formed the foundation of this multiverse, and also a fair amount between Supergirl and Batwoman, whose chemistry was a revelation to Guggenheim and the others when they briefly interacted during Elseworlds.

The purpose of the comic is to include characters that they couldn't get into the live version because the actors weren't available. The characters you named-- Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Iris West, Kara Danvers-- are already in the live version of the crossover, so why would they need to again be featured in the comic?

I freaking love Felicity, and I like Wally and Nyssa as well, so I'm thrilled Marc found a way to include them. Those characters aren't just his favorites, they very popular with a big part of the audience too. I'm so happy he's pandering to people like me.

‘Arrowverse’ Boss Breaks Down Journey to ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’
By MARISA ROFFMAN  December 5, 2019
https://variety.com/2019/tv/features/arrowverse-boss-breaks-down-journey-to-crisis-on-infinite-earths-1203426800/ 

Quote

Guggenheim calls their version of “Crisis” a “homage” to the comic title versus a beat-by-beat replay. (The original comic series killed off a number of the main heroes, but the television series are ongoing and will need to keep most of their players around longer term.) But despite not playing things out exactly the same, the team used five of the 12 comic book covers from the series to pitch the story to the CW and Warner Bros., with the intention of playing with those important moments — with their own twist.
*  *  *
“When I worked out the tentpoles of the crossover, we knew that hour four was definitely going to be the ‘Arrow’ hour,” Guggenheim says. “We knew that hour five was definitely be the ‘Legends’ hour because in crossovers past, ‘Legends’ has always been the finale of the crossover. Which left hours one, two and three.”
*  *  *
"It was a matter of getting all the different pieces to talk to each other,” Guggenheim says. “One of the things that’s really, really helpful is that we had writers on each of the different shows — for example, the ‘Supergirl’ writers would write a scene in the ‘Batwoman’ hour that featured Supergirl, so that we’re getting a consistency of voice across all the different five hours.”

Though the crossover was “designed to be a five-hour epic story,” the writers were also sure to give each title character their due.

“There are quintessential Supergirl moments in the ‘Supergirl’ hour; there’s quintessential Batwoman moments in ‘Batwoman,’” Guggenheim says. “Bruce Wayne, played by Kevin Conroy, makes his appearance in the ‘Batwoman’ hour just because that’s appropriate. Similarly, Flash-90, played John Wesley Shipp appears in ‘The Flash.’ But we never really talked about them in terms of this is the ‘Arrow’ episode; it was always this is hour four of the crossover.”
*  *  *
Guggenheim also admits there was a “financial limitation” to some of what they could achieve with guest cast because they had a “very limited budget for this kind of event” and “didn’t get additional money to bring in guest cast.”

Still, there was no shortage of interest from performers, he says, now that they have a track record of what these crossover events can accomplish. “There were some actors who approached us and made it known through their reps that they were interested in participating, and that was always awesome,” he says.

However, at less than a week until the episodes start to air (and with production wrapped), Guggenheim shares that they’re still working to get an additional person involved in the crossover: “The paint does not dry on this until we are literally about to deliver for air.”

Also in play? Which characters they got approval to use from DC Entertainment.

“We got approval on some, we didn’t get approval on all,” he says.
*  *  *
“I think probably the most fun that we had was writing little moments where Cress Williams’ character is reacting to this idea of there are other superheroes and, wow, some of them are really strange,” Guggenheim says. “He has a reaction to meeting Superman that I think is is really particularly humorous. And even the interaction he has with Batwoman, who sort of remarks, ‘Yeah, I was the new kid last year.’ We love our meta jokes in the crossovers.”
*  *  *
Additionally, “it’s all scored by Blake Neely and his team,” Guggenheim says. “In fact, we’re recording with a live orchestra, which is not something we typically do.”
*  *  *
“One of the things we did with the stunt sequences, particularly in hours one and four, is we did a lot of drone footage,” Guggenheim says. Using a first episode battle, in which the heroes are surrounded in an unusual way as an example, Guggenheim says they got were “literally flying the drone in between the combatants. So it’s not just choreographing the fight, you also have to add the drone into the mix, and the drone has to become part of the choreography.”

The Clock Tower: Here’s What You Need to Know to Prepare For ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’
Posted on Thursday, December 5th, 2019 by Amelia Emberwing
https://www.slashfilm.com/what-you-need-to-know-for-crisis-on-infinite-earths/ 

Quote

Currently, hope is all we have when it comes to Lena Luthor. Specifically, the hope that the show does the right thing and brings her back from the edge she currently finds herself teetering on. Having a Luthor who rises above her family’s darkness is so much more interesting than watching another one fall. Particularly now that The Monitor has brought Lex back into the fray. 
*  *  *
As far as Team Flash knows, Barry Allen’s about to run to his death. We’re going to just ignore the fact that “The Flash must die” doesn’t specify which Flash, and acknowledge all of the beautiful moments that went down between the family. Even if we did miss Ralph a little bit. 
*  *  *
Arrow was always going to have the most Crisis tie-ins. Oliver Queen must die for the universe and Lyla Michaels has been around for quite some time. The team’s last task before infinite earths fall was to build the weapon that would help defend them. Though it’s Oliver’s story with his children that once again ends up being the most important thing about the episode.

Oliver Queen struggle on Lian Yu while reconciling with the fact that he has to say goodbye to his kids resulted in another stellar addition to Arrow’s final season. He shares emotional moments with both William and Mia before things come to a close, but he also sends Diggle with some instructions for the future. Those include ensuring the 2040 crowd is sent back to their time where they belong, and that Mia and William get to grow up together. Considering Mia’s with him in all of the promo shots for Crisis, I suspect neither of those things are going to happen. 
*  *  *
If you tried catching the shows this week so you could be prepared, that guy you kept seeing at the end of every episode is Nash Wells. We’re pretty sure he’s Pariah. I’m not gonna dive too much into what that means, just keep your eye on him when he pops up throughout the five-part crossover. If you’ve got questions about Crisis that aren’t addressed here, I’ll try to help out in the comments!

Interview: Elizabeth Tulloch Talks Lois, Superman, and Crisis on Infinite Earths
By Jessica Mason  Dec 4th, 2019, 
https://www.themarysue.com/interview-elizabeth-tulloch-crisis-on-infinite-earths/ 

Quote

Of course, Lois and her Superman aren’t the only heroes joining the party. The Flash, The Green Arrow, White Canary, The Atom, Batwoman and more are all in the fight, and some of these heroes are new to Lois and to Tulloch. “I didn’t get to work with Ruby last time and she’s wonderful; she’s really lovely. She’s a great girl,” Tulloch shared. “There was a lot of new stuff going on. Not only did it feel like one big party on set, but there were a lot of characters.”
*  *  *
Those characters include a few extra supermen, including Smallville’s Tom Welling and Brandon Routh as a darker version of Superman who lost Lois years before. Tulloch had nothing but praise for both these super guys. Welling, she shared was a cut up on set: “I had never met him before and I was just dying laughing.”

As for Routh and Lois meeting that version of Superman/Clark, it sounds like the scene will have some humor. “That will be a very cute scene I think,” Tulloch shared. “Part of what makes Lois lane such a charming character is when she gets flustered and discombobulated, and meeting a new superman would lead to that result.” But there’s another reporter who doesn’t work at the Daily Planet who fans have been dying to see Lois meet.
*  *  *
“When I was shooting Elseworlds last year I notice a lot of comments from fans on Social media, saying they were disappointed Iris and Lois didn’t get to team up,” Tulloch said and we definitely agree that we’ve been hoping to see these amazing women together since Lois was cast. “I think they’re going to be really happy this time around, we actually had quite a bit to do together. I loved working with Candice,” Tulloch added. “They end up sort of teaming up to help this crisis in their own way. And they absolutely do even though, for example, they can’t fly or run really fast.”

This crossover is certainly much darker than last year’s Elseworlds, but there’s still lightness and levity and some of that comes from Lois. “You definitely have a lot of light-hearted moments,” Tulloch said, “because part of Lois Lane is that she inadvertently is sort of clumsy or funny or a little bit sarcastic or a little bit sassy.” Also having a baby around brings some joy. “You have a scene where Mick Rory is babysitting,” Tulloch shared and we now can’t wait to see that. “So you definitely have moments of humor that punctuate the gravity of the situation,”

Don't toy with me Arrowverse! I better get some nice meat from this scene/their interactions.

Most definitely. They've both come so far they deserve to acknowledge that and say goodbye. 

So a tie in comic with Felicity, Nyssa, Wally and The Ray. Yes Please! It's a good way to tell, tie in characters who's actors aren't available but who definitely wouldn't be sitting on their butts. 

Whilst I get the frustration at Guggenheim he's not the one solely responsible for anything to do with COIE and other characters will actually be on screen. What with Oliver dying it makes sense for it to be largely from her POV. With Iris she has trouble enough getting POV and agency on her own show that he has nothing to do with.

I have my own issues with MG, but this is not one of them. MG is not the sole decision-maker. As he's said in these recent interviews (as well as in previous interviews), everything having to do with the DC TV shows and especially this COIE crossover had to be approved, not just by his network bosses, but by the WB/DC Entertainment bosses - this should be even more true for any tie-in comics to be released under the DC brand.

COIE Title Card/Logo
-- On Nov. 7, 2019, MG tweeted pic of COIE title card/logo, with comment: "We finalized this a couple of days ago. #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths." In response to subsequent fan complaints that the title card showed an arrowhead instead of Oliver/GA's face, while showing other superheroes' faces, MG tweeted: "Believe it or not... legal and financial issues. Seriously. The number of things -- little things -- that #$@% us up constantly... you can't imagine." and "Why does everyone focus so much on the financial part and not the legal part of my post?" (MG tweets, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On Dec. 2, 2019, MG tweeted pic of revised COIE title card/logo, with comment: "Less than a week to go. Dialing in visual effects, color-timing and sound mixes. Also still trying to make a few surprises happen. Some small. Some not so small. #CrisisOnInfinteEarths." This title card now shows Oliver/Green Arrow's face instead of just an arrowhead. In response to fan who thought they weren't able to use Oliver's face, MG tweeted: "Thanks to the creativity of a lot of very smart people, we've been able to do a few things that, even a month ago, seemed impossible. #DontStopFightingUntilTheFightIsDone." (MG tweets, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On Dec. 4, 2019, in response to fan noticing that Oliver is now in the "S" of the COIE title card and asking if the legal reasons were cleared up, MG tweeted: "Found a loophole." When asked for the legal reasons, MG tweeted: "I can explain after the whole thing has aired." In response to fan who tweeted "Let me guess - due to legal reasons?!", MG tweeted: "No. Spoilers."

But I found out, his character name is literally 'Burt Ward'. He is on Earth 66 (the same year the series debuted... this will be a recurring theme I suspect as we already know 90s Flash came from Earth 90.... and another easter egg in the next scene descriptions below.). He looks up in the sky while walking a dog (no name for the dog was heard), and blurts out 'Holy crimson skies....' (there was more, but the person I got the details from didnt hear it all)... and that was it."

SUMMARY OF CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS ("COIE") CROSSOVER SPOILERS - Part 3 of 14:

Spoiler

Generally
-- Per CW President Mark Pedowitz, it's highly likely that the COIE crossover will feature a character death. (TCA Winter Press Tour, Jan. 31, 2019: The Hollywood Reporter article, page 19 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On the Crisis crossover, Greg Berlanti: “We just finished watching them and editing them. Um, and they're as big as anything we've ever done - that I've ever done in film or TV, really. It's just - it's really incredibly epic and I think everyone's going to be really satisfied. There's so many cameos. Really great cameos." (SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s 4th Annual Patron of the Artists Awards, Nov. 7, 2019: Nov. 8, 2019 extratv video of Greg Berlanti interview, page 41 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: “One of the things that we said very, very early on in the pitches to the studio and the network is that this can’t be ‘Crisis on CW Earths.' ... This has to be ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths,’ and we have to touch as many strands of the DC tapestry as possible.” (Nov. 21, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum, and pics of COIE article in Dec. 2019 print issue of Entertainment Weekly, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Although he doesn't want to prescribe comparisons to Avengers: Endgame, MG: "Endgame is an exclamation point. 'Crisis' is a semicolon." (Pics of COIE article in Dec. 2019 print issue of Entertainment Weekly, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- When asked if we'll get an "all superhero shot" like we did during 'Crisis on Earth-X,' MG tweeted: "Not exactly. This is a bit of a different animal -- like Infinity War, our heroes aren't all together at any singular moment. BUT there are several group shots of different configurations." (Nov. 10, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- When asked if it was possible to not run opening credits for COIE so we can be surprised who is in each crossover episode, MG tweeted: "I’m going to hold back certain names until the end credits." (Sep. 30, 2019 MG tweet, page 33 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- When asked if we can expect a recreation of the #GirlPower scene from Avengers: Endgame in the COIE crossover, MG tweeted: "Unfortunately not, because (a) logistics and (b) Marvel already beat us to it." (Oct. 6, 2019 MG tweet, page 34 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what he would say to people who are sure they know how things are going to end, MG: "It’s funny, the thing I’ve learned is that Twitter is basically crowd-sourced story breaking, in the sense that it’s impossible to come up with something that no one could have foreseen ‘cause you’re dealing with tens of thousands of people, who are all coming up with different ideas. Some of those ideas are gonna be things that we’re doing, and some of those ideas are gonna be things that we’re not doing. That being said, I would say that some people have accurately predicted certain things, and then, with respect to some of the characters in 'Crisis,' their guesses are way off the mark, and I like that. Also, one thing that we’re trying to do in the crossover is that, even the things that you are expecting, we’ve challenged ourselves and said, how do we do it in ways that you’re not expecting? There are different kinds of spoilers, in my opinion. There’s what you do, which is the spoiler everyone thinks about, but then there is the how and when you do it, and you have those clubs in your bag." (Oct. 15, 2019 Collider interview, page 37 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- In response to fan who said, "WTH Marc. The Monitor can bring back a dead universe but not fallen heroes. This seems suspicious. What is going on?," MG tweeted: "This will be addressed directly in Crisis." (Nov. 6, 2019 MG tweet, page 33 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum and page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- When asked if the format of the COIE crossover will be more like Crisis on Earth-X (where each episode felt like part of a mini-series and you couldn't tell just by watching which show it was) or more like Elseworlds and Invasion, MG tweeted: "Hopefully, more like Earth-X." (Nov. 13, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 41 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On the COIE crossover, MG tweeted: "We certainly strived for the tone/feel of a movie, albeit with the temporal and financial limitations of a tv show. I think there are moments when we get there." (Nov. 15, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 41 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- In response to fan who asked why Earth-2 got destroyed weeks before the start of Crisis, MG tweeted: "Watch Hour 3." (Dec. 5, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- In the COIE premiere (Supergirl hour), something huge happens to someone who is a regular on a non-Supergirl show. (Dec. 5, 2019 Rolling Stone article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per MG, though the crossover was “designed to be a five-hour epic story,” the writers were also sure to give each title character their due. MG: “There are quintessential Supergirl moments in the ‘Supergirl’ hour; there’s quintessential Batwoman moments in ‘Batwoman... Bruce Wayne, played by Kevin Conroy, makes his appearance in the ‘Batwoman’ hour just because that’s appropriate. Similarly, Flash-90, played John Wesley Shipp appears in ‘The Flash.’ But we never really talked about them in terms of this is the ‘Arrow’ episode; it was always this is hour four of the crossover.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Variety article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: “One of the things we did with the stunt sequences, particularly in hours one and four, is we did a lot of drone footage." Using a first episode battle, in which the heroes are surrounded in an unusual way as an example, MG says they got were “literally flying the drone in between the combatants. So it’s not just choreographing the fight, you also have to add the drone into the mix, and the drone has to become part of the choreography.” MG added: “Our heroes have to team up to fight [in these episodes]." That means the fights are “less fisticuffs like we do on Arrow or Batwoman and much sort of grander in scale and scope.” With that comes a “a huge visual effects component. We have to almost redesign the way we do the action sequences for the crossovers compared to what we do on each of the individual series.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Variety article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per MG, “it’s all scored by Blake Neely and his team... In fact, we’re recording with a live orchestra, which is not something we typically do.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Variety article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Flash EP Eric Wallace: "There are some very, very, very big, very emotional things that happen over the course of all five nights." (Oct. 1, 2019 Discussing Film video of The Mutuals Interviews with Eric Wallace, page 33 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Flash EP Eric Wallace: “Before I sit down to watch this year’s crossover, I would really rewatch all three episodes of ‘Elseworlds,’ because it will enrich your viewing experience. Without giving away any spoilers, there are certain ‘elements’ that will be revisited in ‘Crisis,’ that were very deliberately planted back then and now we’re going to pay off.” (Aug. 23, 2019 TVLine article, page 27 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG predicted there would be “some shock” among fandom once Crisis has aired. LMG: “But with Crisis that’s to be expected... And, y’know, you throw Crisis in along with this being the last season for Arrow, there’s a lot of balls being juggled right now.  Crisis by itself, if no show was ending, would be one of those kind of [game-changing] events, but with Arrow ending, there’s just a lot of uncertainty around what’s going to happen, and that’s the fun part going in. ... Y’know, the trades say so much of the casting and there’s paparazzi showing videos and pictures of people on set and stuff happening, but until you see it all together, it doesn’t do it justice and I think the audience will really love what they’ve put together.” (Nov. 11, 2019 RadioTimes article, page 41 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On how definitive is the ending to COIE and whether it is a closed book, with all the loose ends tied up or whether there is a hint at what might happen in next year’s crossover, LMG: "I think, with comic books period, it's always open-ended. Nothing's ever definitive. Even back in the day, like when Doomsday killed Superman, but then he came back. So, you know, stuff happens. I don't want to give too much away with the crossover. But, you know, in the comic book world... Like I was joking around with one of the producers, and we're talking about The Princess Bride and there was a scene in The Princess Bride where it's like, 'Is he a little dead or is he all the way dead?' Billy Crystal's character. To me, that's the comic book world: 'Is he dead, or is he just a little dead? Which "dead" is he?' So, you know, we'll see what happens, but I think the writers are creative, and that's the base of it." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- SA tweeted pic of his copies of the following cover memos tacked to a corkboard: COIE Supergirl 509 Memo, COIE Batwoman Season One Memo, COIE The Flash Memo, COIE Arrow Season 8 Memo, and COIE DC's Legends of Tomorrow Crossover Memo. Each of the memos referenced an attached crossover script and warned the recipient not to spoil anything from the script.

(Oct. 1, 2019 Kat_McNamara tweet, page 20 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum and page 33 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- JDJ: "I cannot say anything about the crossover except for the fact it's going to change everyone. [Marc] Guggenheim has gone to Warner Bros. with this incredible list of things he wants for the crossover, Easter Eggs and characters and cameos and everything. It's going to be amazing, and I think fans are going to be shocked by a lot of things that happen in it." (Oct. 21, 2019 TVInsider article, page 5 of Spoilers thread and page 26 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- On the COIE crossover, JDJ: "“It’s going to change a lot... People want to know that the characters they love are safe… [but] we don’t know who’s safe!” (Nov. 5, 2019 Herald Publicist article, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Jon Cryer tweeted: "I don’t want to freak everyone out, But I just found out they shot some stuff for #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths that wasn’t in any script that I saw.  So there are gonna be some surprises for all of us." (Dec. 2, 2019 MrJonCryer tweet, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

COIE Comics Influence 
-- CW President Mark Pedowitz: “It is Crisis on Infinite Earths, and if you know the history, things collapse.” (TCA Winter Press Tour, Jan. 31, 2019: TVLine article, page 18 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum, and Entertainment Weekly article, page 19 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether the crossover will take big swings similar to the COIE comics, CW President Mark Pedowitz: “That is the intent, to take some big swings... Can’t tell you if it’ll follow the comic book version, but it’ll take some big swings.” (TCA Winter Press Tour, Jan. 31, 2019: TVLine article, page 18 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum, and The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly articles, page 19 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Greg Berlanti: “We weren’t sure we’d ever be allowed to [do our version of Crisis], or where we’d get to that place." He added that he believes Warner Bros. and DC are allowing them to take a stab at the epic because it will be very specific to the Arrowverse, saying: “It’s our iteration of it. It’s not necessarily what they’d end up doing in the film space, so we could advocate for it that way, in terms of permission.” (Jul. 24, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: "This is an exclusive. Um, we're going to begin the way Crisis, uh, On Infinite Earths, the comic, begins, which is, the destruction of various parallel universes. Um, and the goal is for us to adapt key moments from the comic. You know, there's seminal moments. Um, in fact, like, yesterday, I pitched to the network what the story was going to be, and best part of the pitch - we have a board that DC made up for me, which - it's, you know, covers from key issues from Crisis On Infinite Earths, and we're like - we're going to do our version of this, we're going to do our version of this, we're going to do our version of this... Our goal is - you know, the thing we've been saying is, we're going to make a list of 100 cool things that we want to do. And even if we only get to do 50, we're still doing 50 cool things. Um, so it's a real labor of love on everyone's part. We really, really - we - this needs to be special. This is the most - this is the Holy Grail of DC comic book stories in my opinion, um, and we cannot screw this up." (SDCC, Jul. 19, 2019: Comicbook video of MG interview, page 23 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum, and Jul. 21, 2019 TooFab article, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per MG, their version of “Crisis” is a “homage” to the comic title versus a beat-by-beat replay. (The original comic series killed off a number of the main heroes, but the television series are ongoing and will need to keep most of their players around longer term.) But despite not playing things out exactly the same, the team used five of the 12 comic book covers from the series to pitch the story to the CW and Warner Bros., with the intention of playing with those important moments — with their own twist." (Dec. 5, 2019 Variety article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: “One of the things the comic always promised was that ‘Worlds will live. Worlds will die. And things will never be the same.’ There were characters who died. New characters were introduced. The whole status quo of the universe changed... I hope that everyone feels that we’ve lived up to that.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- To craft the crossover’s story, MG combed through the COIE 12-issue limited series like it was the Book of Destiny and plucked out story beats that could serve as tentpoles for the five hours they had to play with. MG: “In fact, when we pitched it out to the studio [Warner Bros. TV] and network, we had corresponding covers for the 12 issues of the comic that matched five episodes." He added that he also pitched the structure to the many showrunners, too. (Dec. 5, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- While MG won't reveal which moments of the comic they homage, he did share that the comic helped them solve one major problem they faced. MG: “We basically spoiled our own story by telling the audience Oliver [Stephen Amell] is going to die at the end of season 7... Working out, quite frankly, just plot twists and surprises and reversals, that was an interesting challenge. I think the original Crisis comic provided a lot of points of inspiration. Even if it didn’t give us the answer to the test, it inspired the answers.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: "The whole goal with the crossover is, like, we try to come up with, like, a hundred great things to do, and even if we get to do 50 of them, we're still doing 50 great things. Like, it's really how many amazing moments can we pack into it."

-- MG: "It's, you know, based on the most, you know, seminal, important, I think, comic book story... We worked and crafted, you know, I think, a very, you know -a really cool story that, you know, honors, not just the Arrowverse, but honors the fact that it's got to be more than just the Arroweverse. It has to touch other corners of the DC universe and, um, I'm really excited. It's probably the most important thing I've ever worked on... So, the pressure is enormous."

-- MG: "Obviously, it’s a different animal, from the source material. That said, when we pitched the crossover story to the network and the studio, we basically pitched with several covers from the comic book series. We had one cover for each hour, so we had five covers. It’s a 12-part series, but we said, 'This is gonna happen in this episode, this is gonna happen in this episode, and this is gonna happen in this episode.' We’re being faithful enough to the source material that you can point to these seminal moments that ended up on the covers. The only surprise is the way we do it. Obviously, these are completely different characters and different circumstances, but we are acknowledging enough of the source material to be able to point to different moments in the crossover and go, 'That came from the comic, and that came from the comic, and that came from the comic,' and that’s fun."

-- MG tweeted pic of COIE logo split in two with pile of scripts in front, with comment: "Six shows. Five scripts. One epic. #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths." The logo split reveals a glimpse of a panel from the COIE comics series. (Sep. 10, 2019 MG tweet, page 28 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Flash EP Eric Wallace: "We can't literally tell the exact story the way it was written in the comic books in 1983, 84, 85, you know, early 80's. We have to kind of bring it up into modern times. And we have to kind of honor what happened in Elseworlds. And in doing so, that has created, uh, new dynamics between unexpected characters. Um, some new characters that are new to the Arrowverse, uh, you know, the Batwoman and, you know, people like this. Um, unexpected characters who haven't crossed before into our universe. They're going to meet for the first time and have to fight side by side. What does that look like? What are they going through emotionally? And how do their emotions mirror those of the characters we know? Like Oliver? Like Barry? Like Sara, uh, from Legends, one of my favorite characters? ... There will be some sadness. I think that's inevitable. But that's also part of life. So we try to reflect that in our storytelling. And it might not come in the ways the audience is expecting. It's another mantra that we've had, when writing in a collaborative effort, all of the crossover scripts... Our mandate has been let's make it the best crossover ever. Make it as big and as emotional as we can. And hopefully, when you guys see the end results, you'll love it."

-- Flash EP Eric Wallace: "I was the perfect age for 'Crisis', when it first came out, and it blew my mind that so many characters that were beloved died, and then they were re-booted. So, when we were approaching the writing of 'Crisis', obviously, we can’t just kill all of our number ones on our shows. That’s insane. You can kill a couple of them, and we do, but you have to find the balance. What it meant to me was that we should tap into that feeling that the readers in 1985 would have had, when reading that story, with the tectonic shifts in the comic world, underneath. When you watch the crossover, you’re going to feel those tectonic shifts, especially at the end. It’s not small. It’s game-changer, in the same way that the ending of 'Crisis', the comic book, was a game changer, and it opens up to a whole new world." (Oct. 4, 2019 Collider article, page 34 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "I know the comic book, you know, and they're sticking pretty close to what the comic book was, so that's kind of - it's a good thing, but you can't adapt everything from the page. But they're doing their spin on it and so far it's like they're hitting it out of the park."

-- LMG: "It's going to be hard to adapt everything straight from the comic to the screen. So some - you know, some places you got to cheat. But, I think, from what I've read in the scripts and from the direction I see it's going, it's - they - they're nailing pretty much the comic books."

-- On what he can say about the COIE crossover, LMG: "It's hard to bring everything that's on the page and adapt it to the screen, but they're doing a really good job of that. Without going too far into details, but they're trying to stick as close to the comic book as possible. And that's hard to do. But I think as we go, today they just announced Brandon Routh is going to be Superman. As we go, there's going to be different actors from all over the past of DC TV jumping on board. Who knows who's coming? It's a fun part of something this big though. It has the magnitude for it. I think there's going to be some people jumping on board that comes out of left field."

-- LMG: "They did a lot of things pretty much identical to the comic books, as much as you can. It's hard to adapt everything to the screen. But, without saying what's going to happen, they hit a lot of things on the head. Some stuff they couldn't do. ... I think the way it plays out will be very satisfying for the audience. Die-hard Crisis comic book fans, they'll see a lot of similarities, and some stuff, just for the sake of story, they had to deviate from onscreen. But, it's still a great story and makes sense in the way it's told." When asked if people will be happy, LMG: "Yeah, I think there's a lot to be happy with. There will always be someone saying, oh they should've did this, they should've did that, but you can't do everything and you can't please everyone. ... But, as a fan, when I was reading the Crisis episodes, I was very excited." (Nov. 1, 2019 TV Fanatic article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "That was more of the writers' doing, and they did a great job. It's hard to adapt everything from page to screen, especially something [with] the stakes that... Crisis on Infinite Earths [had] in the comic book, but they brought a lot of that to the page. With that came a lot of who the Anti-Monitor was and what he wanted. I think it's very similar, aside from the fact that -- and he could still very well have it -- but the exact appearance as the Anti-Monitor from the comic book. They did more of a New 52 Anti-Monitor, from the Darkseid Wars. So, aside from that, I think it's pretty spot on." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On first reading the scripts for the 5-part COIE crossover, LMG: “As a comic book fan, I got excited... Not [as] the actor, but just as a fan, my mind was blown by the story. Not just the characters, but the story and how they put it all together. ,,, Like, a lot of things you can take from the comic book, but it’s hard to adapt everything that was in the Crisis comic book to television. So they adapted a lot and what they couldn’t do, they did a tremendous job with the story and filling in the gaps with what wasn’t on the page. It’ll be a fun five-night adventure, for sure, especially if you’re a DC TV fan.” (Nov. 11, 2019 RadioTimes article, page 41 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

-- On whether we'll see the Monitor after the crossover is over, LMG: "I hope so. But, you know, if - they're doing it pretty close to the comic books. In the comic books, you know, the Monitor's seen better days. But, you know, we might - you know, they might have a different variation, so it's fun. When I get the scripts, they're like getting new issues of comic books. So I don't read, like, just, you know, what am I doing in this - I read it as a fan first because I grew up with comic books... I read it once as a fan and then I go back and study it like, alright, what do I need to know? What's going on? What's going to happen if I don't get what I - you know, just whatever I do to, you know, figure it out."

-- When asked if we can at least get all crossover episodes in each show's box set, so we don’t have to buy the box sets of all the shows to have the entire crossover, MG tweeted: "It’s not up to me, unfortunately. I’ve been asking WB home video, but no movement so far." (Sep. 13, 2019 MG tweet, page 29 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether there's any chance that the COIE crossover will be sold separately on blu-ray or digital, MG tweeted: "I can only hope. Sadly, WB home video hasn't been too receptive to my pitches in the past...." (Nov. 2, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

(Pic of COIE Arrowverse hardcover comics & Amazon link in Nov. 25, 2019 Primal Slayer post, page 43 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- DC Comics announced Crisis on Infinite Earths Giant #1, a brand new 100-page comics story co-written by Marv Wolfman and MG, to be available in Walmart stores on Dec. 15, 2019. Cover of this issue shows Superman holding an injured Supergirl in his arms. Circle insets show the Flash, the Ray, Felicity and Lex Luthor. Other circle insets show Supermens, the Monitor and a Council of Luthors. MG: “The story that we’re attempting to tell with our interpretation of Crisis on Infinite Earths is so ambitious, we couldn’t confine it to five hours... I’m incredibly excited that we’re getting the chance to tell an ‘in canon’ story that ties directly into the crossover narrative. The comics will enable us to include characters and concepts that couldn’t be included in the crossover, plus the chance to collaborate further with original Crisis architect Marv Wolfman is just icing on the cake.” The second GIANT comic will arrive in Walmart stores by January 19, 2020. Issue #2 will also feature the main and back up stories co-written by Wolfman and MG. (Dec, 5, 2019 DCComics tweet & article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On when the idea for a comic book chapter (like COIE Giant #1)  to the COIE television event came to him, MG: "It came pretty early on in the process. We were marking out big picture stuff to be able to pitch something to the showrunners and it occurred to me that this story we were looking to tell was actually bigger than the five hours we’re going to have for broadcast. ... I thought to myself, 'This is a potentially once in a lifetime kind of opportunity; I don’t think we’re ever going to do a crossover of this scale and ambition again. Certainly not for a good long while.’ I thought that having a comic book tie into [Crisis] would not only be a cool thing to do, it would allow us access to all of the characters that we don’t have in the crossover proper for logistical reasons, or financial reasons, or creative reasons. ... So it was basically killing two birds with one stone. It allows us to tell a major piece of the story that we’re designing, with characters and concepts that we couldn’t achieve in live action. ... I went to Dan Evans at DC — he’s the main guy there that I work with on the shows — and said, ‘I’ve got this crazy idea, can we do a comic book tie-in?’ Dan discussed it with the folks at DC, and it was suggested, why don’t you co-write this with Marv? The moment that was suggested to me, it was a no-brainer. I wasn’t originally going to write any of it, but the opportunity to work with Marv was too good to pass up." When asked how he decided which characters he was going to focus on in the comic book chapters, MG: "As far as characters, I started off with Felicity Smoak. I think, of all the characters that are not in the crossover that I think people wanted to see, Felicity is probably at the top of that list. I included the Ray, from the Crisis on Earth-X crossover we did a few years ago as well as the animated series we did for CW Seed, and then there was going to be another character — a brand new character, because I thought it could be fun to add to the toolbox, but we had a lot of creative discussions, and it was decided, let’s use a pre-established Arrowverse character, so I chose Nyssa Al-Ghul, because Katrina [Law] is on another show and wasn’t available to participate in the crossover. ... Finally, there’s Wally West, because, again, scheduling limitations prevented the actor from being in the live action… but it’s easy to populate your comic book with whoever you want. Using those core four, we worked out our story and brought in characters like the Atom… and Batwoman… and Sara Lance… and Barry Allen. But it’s those core four that really drive our story."

-- MG tweeted: "The comic takes place in between the events of Hour 2, Act 1." (Dec. 5, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- When asked if the two-issue COIE Giant comic series is needed to fully understand the crossover or if it's a bonus, MG tweeted: "A bonus. Both stories fill in some backstory." (Dec. 5, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether the two-issue COIE Giant comic series is canon to the COIE television crossover event, MG tweeted: "Yes." (Dec. 5, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether the events of the tie-in comic will be mentioned in the COIE television crossover event (like, if someone will mention what Felicity, Wally, The Ray and Nyssa have been up to), MG tweeted: "Yes. Very directly." (Dec. 5, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

Post-COIE Consequences
-- Per LMG, Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman and LoT will all be dealing with the aftermath in different ways, and that this season in some ways can be split into "two parts". LMG: "The early part of the season for all of the shows leading up to Crisis, and then after... There's 'before Crisis' and 'after Crisis'. [The crossover] is going to affect everyone and every show, but it's going to affect each of them differently... And that's going to be fun, to watch how it all unfolds and the outcome of each show from the Crisis!" (Nov. 2, 2019 Digital Spy article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Arrow: On which Arrowverse show will feel the fallout of COIE the most, MG: "That's a great question. Um, that's a really terrific question. Um, I'm tempted to say actually Arrow. Um, and I may be a little bit biased in giving that answer. But, I would say, if we're able to do what we have planned, um, it's some pretty big consequences, um, that come out of Crisis for Arrow... I know, it's like we're 'big things' right before we end the show. But, uh, you know, it was interesting, you know, because of the nature of Crisis and the nature of a 10-episode order for Arrow, the two projects really became linked, uh, to the extent where the build-up to Crisis really takes place in Arrow, and then Crisis has to impact the final two episodes of Arrow. Um, so it's all connected. Um, you know, and I think it's going to be connected in a way that's satisfying to people. That's the trick."  (SDCC, Jul. 19, 2019: Comicbook video of MG interview, page 23 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Arrow: On how impactful this year's crossover will be, MG: "For Arrow, it's very impactful. I think for all the shows, it's very impactful. Um, you know, we're obviously dealing this year with some very cosmic big stuff. And the conversations that myself and all the showrunners have had is, we now have - with this concept of the crossover, we now have the opportunity to do something really radically and, um, be very impactful. And I don't like to make those sorts of promises, but I will say, like, specifically with the case of Arrow, the ramifications are pretty big, especially since we know we only got two more episodes after the crossover for Arrow to finish up. So Arrow has luxuries that the other shows don't have." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 21, 2019 Whedonopolis Videos video of MG interview, page 2 of Spoilers thread and page 6 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread)
-- Arrow: Per MG, the final two episodes of Arrow will not connect with Episode 8 (the crossover episode). MG: "I would say Episode 9 is very specific. We know exactly what happens in it. It's not related to the crossover... And it's too early for me to talk about exactly what that episode is. But it's, you know, if we do it right, it'll be really special. And then Episode 10 will be a proper series finale."

-- Arrow: On the COIE crossover, MG: “It’s definitely changed my plans for what the series finale would be... It’s opened up a possibility that is satisfying in a way I never anticipated. If not for doing Crisis on Infinite Earths, we wouldn’t have been able to do the series finale that we ultimately did. ... It feels appropriate” for Oliver’s adventures to end this way... Arrow did start the Arrow-verse, and the Crisis on Infinite Earths event is designed to be the ultimate manifestation of that.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Rolling Stone article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Arrow: SA: "The series finale is going to be independent of the crossover... The crossover this year is in our 8th episode, I believe, but we have 10 episodes to do." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: TVLine article & video, page 1 of Spoilers thread and page 5 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread)
-- Arrow: On what happens to the Arrowverse once Arrow's gone because Arrow is the structure for everything, SA: "I think that, kinda by definition, um, you know, once - once our show's done, then, in my opinion, then it - Grant becomes the - Grant as Barry Allen becomes the, you know, central point in the universe, for sure. And, um, he'll do a great job with it. But, um, I don't know. Just don't start calling it the Flashverse. Okay? ... Just keep calling it the Arrowverse. But no, you know, there will always be - we just happened to be first. Right? But what I think is - what I actually think is, I think that the crossover this year will do a really good job of answering that question for you."

-- Arrow: Joseph David-Jones: "I can't give too much away about 'Crisis.' ... Only to say that after it happens, everything is going to change. I mean obviously, you know Arrow's coming to an end, but it's going to affect everything. The whole world of the Arrowverse is going to change because of what it is.

SUMMARY OF CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS ("COIE") CROSSOVER SPOILERS - Part 5 of 14:

Spoiler

Seven Paragons
-- The Monitor (voiceover): "Among the many misconceptions that humanity holds dear is the fallacy that all beings are created equal. In truth, there are those that are greater. They are called Heroes. But even among Heroes, there are different echelons. The highest belong to those known as the Paragons. They are the only hope of all creation." (Monitor voiceover intro to Oct. 15, 2019 Arrow 801-'Starling City' episode)
-- When asked to tease something for Flash and Iris fans, MG tweeted: "Iris recruits the seventh Paragon." (Nov. 8, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Pagey tweeted Flash 607 screenshot pic of seven symbols on a wall, with comment: "This is a big #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths hint from the latest #TheFlash Episode! My guess is that these are the 7 Symbols of the destined Paragons! Far Right is Green #Arrow...3rd from left is Flash or Atom? The First on the left could be Black Lightning? What do you think? [2 thinking face emojis]." In Flash 607, Nash Wells prepared to destroy the barrier to The Monitor's tomb, and found a series of symbols etched into the wall. (Nov. 27, 2019 Pagmyst tweet and Nov. 26, 2019 ComicBook article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- ComicsBeat writer's speculation as to what those seven symbols represent: "The icon on the far left looks a bit like a tuning fork, which could indicate a key item from the original Crisis on Infinite Earths miniseries will play a role in the event... The second-from-left icon looks a bit like The Monitor himself, with the three lines at the top meeting at a point like his hair, and the sides of the icon resembling his muttonchop sideburns. The next icon looks like the helmet of The Atom, aka Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), which, combined with another bit of news from this week’s episode of Arrow, may support my theory that The Monitor will be responsible for making Ryan Choi (who will be played by Osiric Chau) The Atom during the Crisis... The icon in the middle resembles the image of overlapping worlds as seen throughout Crisis, both within the logo for the series and most notably on the cover of Crisis on Infinite Earths #5... The next two icons are something of a mystery. One of them looks vaguely like the symbol of the Indigo Lantern tribe [one of the seven Corps of the emotional spectrum, which debuted in Green Lantern #25 in 2007], while the other looks like a mask, but not one that I readily recognize. The final icon is unmistakable, though, as an arrowhead, clearly symbolizing the important role that Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) will play in the coming crisis."

Mar Novu AKA The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett)
-- LaMonica Garrett will be returning to play the Monitor in the COIE crossover event. (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 21, 2019 TooFab article, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG will appear in 10 total episodes across the Arrowverse this season, including the COIE crossover event. (Aug. 23, 2019 TVLine article, page 27 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- From Supergirl 509 synopsis: "The Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett) sends Harbinger (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) to gather the worlds’ greatest heroes - Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin), Green Arrow (guest star Stephen Amell), Batwoman (guest star Ruby Rose), White Canary (guest star Caity Lotz), The Atom (guest star Brandon Routh) and Superman (guest star Tyler Hoechlin) - in preparation for the impending Crisis." (Nov. 21, 2019 SpoilerTV article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- From Batwoman 108 synopsis: "The Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett) sends Iris (guest star Candice Patton), Clark (guest star Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois (guest star Elizabeth Tulloch) in search of a mysterious Kryptonian[.]" (Nov. 21, 2019 SpoilerTV article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Flash's crossover promo pics include the Monitor (LMG). (Nov. 25, 2019 CBR and Batman-News articles, page 43 of of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG tweeted copy of fake audition sides for The Monitor, featuring two scenes between "Lon-el" and Superman, with comment: "These were the fake sides we used when we were casting the Monitor last year. I had a blast writing them." (Aug. 4, 2019 MG tweet, page 26 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per LMG, the COIE crossover will provide a lot of answers about the Monitor and viewers will see him in a different light. LMG: "Overall, I look at him as a good person – someone who is trying to do right... His ways are not our ways, so the way he goes about certain things, it's going to rub people the wrong way. ... But he's trying to do a good thing, and I think when the 'Crisis' crossover starts and by the time it's done, people will have a different idea about the Monitor. You'll see a version of the Monitor that you've never seen before. ... And you might even have some compassion for the guy that you didn't have before, after you see where he came from and how he got to be the way he is." (Nov. 2, 2019 Digital Spy article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "Everything the Monitor does is to serve the Crisis purpose. So, he's morally ambiguous, so you really can't take anything he does as, like, oh, that's evil or that's good. He has his own way, and his ways aren't our ways. So when he does something that might look out of line, maybe to human beings it might look out of line, but he operates on a whole different palette. It could be, you know, in the grand scheme of things, hindsight, you look back, like, oh, he needed to put that person there. So the more it unfolds out, the more we'll see, and that's the fun part." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 23, 2019 TVLine video of LaMonica Garrett interview, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On the Monitor's confusing methods, LMG: "Everything he does is for a greater cause, and I think the great thing that the writers did [...] is every question that's unanswered right now, they tie it up at some point throughout the season or in Crisis... I say this: With the Monitor, everything he does is to bring out something in a character that was missing or that was suppressed, and he goes about his own way of doing it, but ultimately what he needs gets achieved... He is the ultimate chess player."  (Dec. 4, 2019 TV Guide article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: “[The Monitor is] a cosmic being who feels a responsibility to right what has been wronged... He will do whatever he needs to defeat his brother. It’ll rub audiences the wrong way. But it’ll culminate into something amazing. By the end of ‘Crisis,’ you might have empathy with him.” Also LMG: “He’s driving something that’s coming. It reminds our favorite characters the crisis is looming. The Monitor is doing bad things for a better cause. Thanos [from Marvel's Avengers movies], in his head, was [for] a good cause even if that means killing half the population.” (Nov. 29, 2019 Inverse article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "The Monitor, he's just - he's hard to peg because he's morally ambiguous. You don't really know what his - his plan is, but he's doing bad things for the greater good for everyone. But his ways of good and bad aren't your ways... He doesn't look at the world like that. He's been around for billions of years, so it's like, you know, what we're used to, our ethics, our values, down here on Earth, he's evolved past that. So, he'll do some stuff for the greater good, in hindsight, you'll be able to see, oh, like, he was a good guy." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 25, 2019 SR Trailers and Interviews video of LaMonica Garrett interview, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On the Monitor's backstory, LMG: "It was real exciting. You'll get to see a different side of The Monitor... He's morally ambiguous, so he plays things pretty stoic. He has an intention. He goes after that and that's just what it is. He's not mad about it. He's not sad or happy. This is his job and this is what he does. ... But during the Crisis you'll see that whole facade break. You'll see another side of him that I was very excited to read and to look forward to playing it. And I think the audience will understand a lot more what makes him tick. And they still might feel the same way about him or they might have some empathy for him, but it's something that's different and I was excited about that." (Oct. 29, 2019 International Business Times article, (page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "You will get to know more about who The Monitor is and where he came from. A lot of that will fill in the blanks for other pieces that may be missing. But, you'll get to know who The Monitor was back in the day, how he became who he is, and what he is about. You might even feel some empathy for him, some compassion." (Nov. 1, 2019 TV Fanatic article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "When the crossover happens, you'll see a side of [the Monitor] that will blindside people... You're used to seeing the Monitor show up — we're used to seeing him as the bearer of bad news. He never has nothing good to say. You'll see a side of him that, I think, by the end of the crossover you might even have compassion for him... He's layered. It will really go into detail about why he is the way he is and how he turned out that way. So that's going to be fun for the audience." (Dec. 4, 2019 TV Guide article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether we'll ever see the Monitor other than somber and predicting death, like, smiling or having fun, LMG: "Yeah, during the crossover you'll see a side of The Monitor you never thought you'd see. ... You'll see a way different side of him and, like I said, you might even feel some compassion for him because of the situation he found himself in. You'll definitely see a lighter side of him. He won't just be the Debbie Downer in everything during the Crisis." (Nov. 1, 2019 TV Fanatic article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: “The way [the Monitor] speaks is almost Shakespearean pentameter... It’s very clear. Slow, measured, methodical. You have to be clear and say it once. There’s no mincing words. He has a calmness where you hear every word because this could be the difference between you or a billion people.” (Nov. 29, 2019 Inverse article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On the Monitor and Anti-Monitor, LMG: "He's more of a bad cop, worse cop... Both of them are bad. It depends how you look at it, but they're both fun characters to play." (Nov. 7, 2019 KTLA 5 video of Nov. 6, 2019 LaMonica Garrett interview, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "You know, you think Monitor is bad. It's like bad cop/worse cop, because Anti-Monitor's coming, so, you know, the audience that's hating one person right now, when they see the other guy, it's gonna - it's gonna be real." (TIFF, Sep. 9, 2019: Sep. 18, 2019 Collider article & video of interview with LaMonica Garrett, page 29 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On why the all-powerful Monitor can't get these items himself and why he needs the help of the superheroes, LMG: "Because he knows he's not going to be able to defeat The Anti-Monitor by himself. So he needs not just the item that he's telling Oliver and I'm sure he has other heroes that [are] trying to get all this stuff together. He knows he needs a team of superheroes. And getting the items is not just getting those items, but it's a process of coming together. So he's accumulating all this for the process of coming together. He needs the team. And it's hard to tiptoe around that question because I know when the Crisis comes, he's going to be blatantly honest about why everything happens the way it happened and the audience will understand his motives." (Oct. 29, 2019 International Business Times article, (page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what was the most exciting part about filming the COIE crossover, LMG: "I think working with all the actors on a scale that big. I've never worked with Caity Lotz before. I've never worked with Brandon [Routh]. All those actors have a lot of fun together…When you're into the schedule of shooting your show, it kind of gets routine…It’s great, but then you get like a field trip in the middle of nine, 10 months of shooting where it's like, 'Oh, it's like camp. All my friends are here, this is different. This is new.' And the energy, you see everyone's having fun on set. Just being a part of that and just knowing how big Crisis is going to be and the magnitude of it,  even when I wasn't filming, I would sit back and just be thankful that I'm a part of this big [event]. It's a big moment in TV history to me and especially DC history and DC TV and comic books. It's going to be remembered and I'm glad I'm a part of it. So I would sit back and have fun just being there." (Oct. 29, 2019 International Business Times article, (page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether he had a favorite person to act opposite of or someone that he didn't expect that he would be filming a scene with, LMG: "I just enjoyed everyone's energy. And, I worked with people I didn't get to work with on the first crossover. Like, Caity Lotz, I didn't work with her. I didn't work with Ruby [Rose] before, and it was fun playing off of them. ... And Brandon [Routh], I didn't work with him before. And, his suit, the Kingdom Come Superman is probably one of my favorite suits of the new suits. It was amazing." (Nov. 1, 2019 TV Fanatic article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On which hero he was most excited to work with and why, LMG: "Really, the Kingdom Come Superman, Brandon [Routh]. That suit, to me, was the best suit on set. It's funny because actors would come up to me and they'd be like, 'Oh, that suit!' Like, this is their first time seeing it in person. The Monitor has a great suit! He has a great getup. It's uncomfortable and it hurts. It's not a fun suit to be in. But aesthetically, it's cut directly from the page. It looks the part and it's a throwback to the older way of comic books, when all these new suits were new and modern and sleek and aerodynamic, and the Monitor is like clunking around. So people loved my suit, but that Kingdom Come Superman, it was something about that black 'S' background that was just awesome to me seeing that for the first time." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On his favorite moment or scene from an upcoming episode, LMG: "Probably my favorite moment and scene was that meeting in little alley with Lyla Michaels, the Harbinger. That just happened, but that was one I was geeked out about when I read that. ... There's moments coming up with other characters that it's going to be -- well, no, I don't want to say that. There's a spoiler, but it's something coming that's a funny interaction that starts out funny with one of the characters and then it takes another serious turn because that's what the Monitor does. The reaction of one of the characters when they meet him for the first time, it's going to be humorous." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether we'll see the Monitor after the crossover is over, LMG: "I hope so. But, you know, if - they're doing it pretty close to the comic books. In the comic books, you know, the Monitor's seen better days. But, you know, we might - you know, they might have a different variation, so it's fun." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 25, 2019 SR Trailers and Interviews video of LaMonica Garrett interview, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On hoping that his own Arrowverse journey won't end with Crisis, LMG: “The Monitor has resurfaced in the comic books – I don’t see why he wouldn’t in the DC TV world. But who knows? That’s up to the writers. But I’d be all on board to keep it going.” (Nov. 11, 2019 RadioTimes article, page 41 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

Much of the filming was up on the roof of 1 of the buildings at the Plaza Of Nations. This is a roof top that Arrow has used so many times, I've lost count. (Including the season 8 premiere, which was on the same night these scenes were being filmed). It was new however to see it in use during the daytime. ... Throughout the morning & early afternoon the cast, and the stunt doubles did a variety of large explosion type scenes."

-- EW revealed an exclusive first look at LMG as the Anti-Monitor. With his White Walker-ish visage, the Anti-Monitor looks like the embodiment of multiversal death and thus the opposite of his benevolent counterpart, the Monitor, also played by LMG. (Pic of the Anti-Monitor from Oct. 16, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 37 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- From Flash 609 synopsis: "Pariah (Tom Cavanagh) enlists Black Lightning (guest star Cress Williams) to help stop the Anti-Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett) after Flash-90 (guest star John Wesley Shipp) shares what he learned from his battle in ‘Elseworlds.’...."

-- MG: "[T]he Big Bad of the crossover - I literally tweeted this out two seconds ago - is of course going to be the Anti-Monitor, um, from Crisis On Infinite Earths. Uh, LaMonica Garrett is going to play that role, um, because there's no one else to play that role. Um, you know, LaMonica's perfect for it... We're going to see, I think, a real strong antagonist for the biggest crossover event we've ever done."

(Nov. 7, 2019 KTLA 5 video of Nov. 6, 2019 LaMonica Garrett interview, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per LMG, there are no redeeming qualities about the Anti-Monitor. LMG: "The Anti-Monitor is pure evil... Everything he does is for one purpose, and it's annihilation. It's not for a greater good. ... In the Avengers movies, Thanos wanted to get rid of half the population so that the half that remained would have more resources. For him he was doing a good thing. ... The Anti-Monitor is nothing like that. He just wants everything dead and one universe to exist under his fingerprint. The way he designed it." (Nov. 2, 2019 Digital Spy article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per LMG, the Anti-Monitor is “just evil.”LMG: “He wants annihilation... It’s night and day playing the Anti-Monitor.

-- LMG: "You know, you think Monitor is bad. It's like bad cop/worse cop, because Anti-Monitor's coming, so, you know, the audience that's hating one person right now, when they see the other guy, it's gonna - it's gonna be real." (TIFF, Sep. 9, 2019: Sep. 18, 2019 Collider video of interview with LaMonica Garrett, page 29 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "Anti-Monitor is not obscure. He's well-known in Marvel, you know, for Marvel fans and DC fans, as just one of the biggest bads that ever walked this planet." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 27, 2019 ComicBook article & video of interview with LaMonica Garrett, page 25 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On getting to play just a straight-up evil character like the Anti-Monitor, LMG: "Just bad. And I - when I found out about that, I was on set and, um, Arrow, they were coming in to - they were prepping for their first episode. It was in Vancouver. And I talked to, uh, Bam [James Bamford], the director, and I was like, 'you know?' And he was like, 'yeah, man, I thought you knew.' Like, 'no, no one tells me anything.' And he already saw my mind spinning like, you know, uh, doing research, Anti-Monitor research, in my head. He was like, 'slow down, you still got a lot of Monitor to go before you jump into that skin.' So I was like, my mind's already racing of what I can bring to this character to bring him to life. Yeah." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 27, 2019 ComicBook article & video of interview with LaMonica Garrett, page 25 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what we can expect from the Anti-Monitor, LMG: "He has one goal. I think what drives a scene and what makes a great scene is two people with highly different objectives going after their objectives--and that's The Monitor and The Anti-Monitor. And they're in with like good, evil, light, dark--whatever you can think that are polar opposites, that's who they are. And I think those two going towards each other for this big, climactic crisis is exciting. But he's pure evil. There is no, 'I'm doing this for a better cause.' Like how in ['Avengers: Endgame'], Thanos, he was doing it to bring peace even though it was a wrong way of going about it. But he says if he got rid of half the world's population, then there's more fruitfulness for everyone that's still living. But with The Anti-Monitor, it's just evil. Like, 'I want evil, I want to kill things. I want one world under my fingerprint.' And that's just what he does. So it's exciting to see how that comes to a head." (Oct. 29, 2019 International Business Times article, (page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On why the Anti-Monitor feels that now is the time to start destroying the infinite Earths, LMG: "Because he was made aware of it. It's just like in the comic books, he was completely unaware of the existence of certain universes in the multiverse. So, now that he's been made aware of it, he has to destroy it. ... He's not doing things for a greater cause, like Thanos got rid of half the world so that the other half would be prosperous and would have more resources. The Anti-Monitor is not about that. He's just about killing everything and making one world under his thumb to match his identity. It's just pure evil. ... He just wants to see the world burn under his watch. And, that's fun to play as well." (Nov. 1, 2019 TV Fanatic article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On how he changed his approach for the Anti-Monitor, who's the opposite of the Monitor, LMG: "Just like with any other character, I would ask myself, 'What does this character want?' and 'What's gonna happen if he doesn't get it?' That raises his stakes. That kind of lets you know who he is, as the actor, so I know how to take a different approach. I just keep asking questions. I think, with the Anti-Monitor, there's just evil. There's no greater purpose. He's not doing something for, you know, 'It's going to be better for these people, but I have to do this horrible thing first.' There's none of that. He is just evil. That's kind of fun to play. All that stuff is out the window and it's just total annihilation." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On just how different his version of the Anti-Monitor is from the comics, LMG: "That was more of the writers' doing, and they did a great job. It's hard to adapt everything from page to screen, especially something [with] the stakes that... Crisis on Infinite Earths [had] in the comic book, but they brought a lot of that to the page. With that came a lot of who the Anti-Monitor was and what he wanted. I think it's very similar, aside from the fact that -- and he could still very well have it -- but the exact appearance as the Anti-Monitor from the comic book. They did more of a New 52 Anti-Monitor, from the Darkseid Wars. So, aside from that, I think it's pretty spot on." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what the Anti-Monitor's relationship with his brother is like, LMG: "That's another reason... they went the New 52 route for the Anti-Monitor. You know, people want the big helmet and the big android-looking machine that was in the original comic book. But I think the fact that they really played up that these two do mirror each other, these two are like brothers. They're exactly the same, except the positive matter universe and the anti-matter, you know what I mean? So I think just having both of them, you know, even clothes they're wearing -- like they have similar garments, just different colors: darker and lighter and more colorful. But it's like these two do mirror each other and playing both of them, it was a trip." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On how soon we will see the Anti-Monitor in the Arrowverse, LMG: "I think you'll see him pretty soon. It's not going to be at the end of 'Crisis.' His presence will be felt before you physically see him and that's already been happening. I think that's great, how they layer it out when you see certain characters and when you don't. It's not over-saturated. You see just enough of him to know this guy means business, but it's not in your face in every scene leading up to 'Crisis.' I think they did a great job of that, without giving too much away. But you'll know he's around and, when you see him, it'll definitely be felt."

-- From Oct. 24, 2019 papp blog article on LoT crossover filming: "The scenes they shot there consisted of the stunts team in a battle sequence with the main big bad of Crisis, The Anti-Monitor. This was the first in person look anyone had of the Anti-Monitor on set. In the battle was The Flash, Superman, Supergirl, White Canary, Black Canary, Spartan, Batwoman, Alex Danvers, Dreamer, and Wild Dog facing off against the Anti-Monitor. ... At various points they did takes where the team would rush at their nemesis, before eventually being thwarted with a punch to the ground by the Anti-Monitor. ... Others who may have been on set, but their doubles were also seen taking on some of the scenes they shot, so I am unsure which scenes, if any they did. ... - LaMonica Garrett as The Anti-Monitor. - Ruby Rose as Batwoman - Rick Gonzalez as Wild Dog - Juliana Harkavy as Black Canary ... They were still doing the same scene as the other day, with the superhero gang still taking on the Anti-Monitor. But this time with simulated reactions to actions, and dialogue. ... At one point, the only portion of dialogue I could sort of hear throughout the day, White Canary moves closer to the Anti Monitor with the rest of the team behind her, and says something to the Anti-Monitor that ends with her muttering 'For Oliver', then the whole team in unison behind her chant 'For Oliver' before commencing their all out attack."

-- In response to fan who was concerned about Oliver not appearing in Arrow 809 due to his death in the COIE crossover and who asked if there was a backup plan in case the spinoff does not go forward, MG tweeted: "The #Arrow spinoff takes place in 2040. We already spoiled that Oliver is dead by that time, so his not appearing in Arrow 809 (the spinoff episode) isn't affected by what happens in Crisis (or, for that matter, the series finale)." (Nov. 18, 2019 MG tweet, page 7 of Spoilers thread and page 36 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- In response to fan who asked how they can explain the LoT episode that took place in 2046 with Oliver still alive, MG tweeted: "That’s a really good point. We should address that..." In response to TVLine's Matt Mitovich's tweet that "it was established long ago and by many EPs that it was a different timeline/possible future," MG tweeted: "You’re gonna want to watch Hour 1 of #CrisisOnInifiteEarths. #methodtoourmadness." In response to fan who tweeted that "There are multiple timelines, multiple possible futures. That's one of them. You should study all the universe you've created and what you say in the series. How sad to see you're not aware of that," MG tweeted: "Wow. You’re so right. What was I thinking??? I’m so sorry." (Nov. 18, 2019 MG tweets, page 7 of Spoilers thread and page 36 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- When asked if he was confirming Oliver's final death, MG tweeted: "By 2040? Yeah. Like I said, not a spoiler." (Nov. 18, 2019 MG tweet, page 7 of Spoilers thread and page 36 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- While MG won't reveal which moments of the comic they homage, he did share that the comic helped them solve one major problem they faced. MG: “We basically spoiled our own story by telling the audience Oliver [Stephen Amell] is going to die at the end of season 7... Working out, quite frankly, just plot twists and surprises and reversals, that was an interesting challenge. I think the original Crisis comic provided a lot of points of inspiration. Even if it didn’t give us the answer to the test, it inspired the answers.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On why they decided to reveal in the S7 finale that Oliver would die in COIE rather than saving that twist for the actual crossover, Arrow EP Beth Schwartz: "I think we decided to do that because it's the story. We didn't want that to be the shock - that he dies. And having that tease at the end of [Season] Seven, we were hoping it would bring everyone back to be like, 'How does he die? What do you mean he dies? Does he really die?' You know, because on our show you never really die. So we just thought that would be a great way to end the season basically... And also everyone's theories! Because that's the fun of watching a show and having a mystery — everyone trying to guess what's going to happen." Also, regarding those theories, when asked if it was safe to say that there's an element of surprise in store for fans, Beth Schwartz: "Yeah, definitely. I mean, this is Arrow, so you think you know what's going to happen, but you don't really." (Aug. 12, 2019 TV Guide article, page 3 of Spoilers thread and page 12 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- LoT EP Keto Shimizu: "I think that especially with Sara Lance... it was really important to me that Sara have some really significant moments with Oliver in the beginning of this Crisis in order to remind the audience how far they go back, and how embedded her history is with his, and how important he is to her in her life, and where she's ended up." Arrow EP Beth Schwartz added: "And also for her to see the person he's become and to really acknowledge that.... Because I feel like on Arrow, we've spent, you know, eight seasons doing that. And so it was nice to see Sara be a part of that." (Dec. 5, 2019 TV Guide tweet & article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what they can tease about the COIE crossover, SA: "I'm going to play more than one character in the crossover... They're all named Oliver, if that helps." ET's Leanne Aguilera: "Oh good, we're getting different Earth Olivers, I like it." SA: "No. No. Maybe." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: ETonline video of Arrow cast interview, page 1 of Spoilers thread and page 5 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- On what he can tease about Oliver's role in COIE, SA: "I'm playing more than one character in Crisis... I'm not putting the Flash suit back on." (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 21, 2019 Showbiz Junkies video of SA interview, page 2 of Spoilers thread and page 6 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread)
-- About the COIE crossover, SA: "The only thing that I can tease is that there are no rules. And I'm playing two characters... I saw that character's costume today. It was great... No, I didn't try it on. I saw concept art for something that I'm going to be doing in the crossover." ET's Leanne Aguilera: "Is it a character that we know?" SA: "Nope. Never appeared on screen before." (TCA Summer 2019 Press Tour, Aug 4, 2019: Aug. 6, 2019 Entertainment Tonight video of SA interview, page 26 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum, and page 3 of Spoilers thread and page 11 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- On the COIE crossover, SA: "I play two characters again. That's exciting. The other character's not a Nazi this time." (Sep. 10, 2019 E! Red Carpet & Award Shows video of SA and DR interviews, page 4 of Spoilers thread and page 15 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- On whether he's hoping to share scenes with Kevin Conroy, SA: "Yes. And Brandon [Routh] as Superman." (Oct. 15, 2019 GreenArrowTV article, page 5 of Spoilers thread and page 23 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- On whether Earth 2's destruction makes it clear to Oliver what the stakes are leading into Crisis, SA: "Yeah. I just shot a scene in Crisis where I'm sitting around a big table with a lot of people in a lot of leather, and Crisis is effectively being explained to us. And I speak up, and I just go, "No, no guys, seriously. I watched an entire Earth be obliterated instantly." And coming from me, who's not - like, I don't have superpowers, I'm not a time-traveler, I'm the one that would typically be doubting something like this. So for me to go, "Guys, this is unlike anything we've ever faced before," it makes people pay attention." (Oct. 15, 2019 TV Guide article, page 37 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On the ending for his character, SA: "It's what I want. I pitched it for a very long time. It's what I want, but, concurrently, like, that doesn't mean there aren't surprises along the way. I was floored when I got the pitch for the crossover. I don't see it coming. Nobody sees it coming. Um, it's going to be so rad." (TCA Summer 2019 Press Tour, Aug. 4, 2019: Aug. 20, 2019 TV Guide tweet & video of SA interview, page 13 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- During an interview with ComicBook.com, they asked SA to address an old theory we came up with, namely, that Oliver Queen would not die in the Crisis but would be removed to a pocket Universe with Felicity. Asked whether he would prefer death, or a fake-out death like that, SA teased, "I have a third idea, but I can't tell you what it is." (Oct. 14, 2019 ComicBook article, page 36 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "So, pretty much everything [the Monitor] does is leading up to the Crisis, and he needs all hands on deck, and the right mental state to approach the crisis. So, it's not just physical, it's mental, and his main subject for the Crisis is Oliver Queen." (Nov. 1, 2019 TV Fanatic article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- LMG: "I would talk to Stephen [Amell]. Stephen, like most of the leads of the shows, they kind of know what's going on, especially Stephen's character because he plays a huge part in this being the last season for 'Arrow' and all. ... So he's like, 'Yeah, have you heard anything about what's going on?' I'm like, 'No man, tell me.' Like I'm always the last to know,  and so it was kind of funny." (Oct. 29, 2019 International Business Times article, (page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On Arrow's last season and Oliver's death being prophesized by the Monitor, LMG: "He might escape, you know. Who knows? Comic books."  (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 25, 2019 SR Trailers and Interviews video of LaMonica Garrett interview, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On how definitive is the ending to COIE and whether it is a closed book, with all the loose ends tied up or whether there is a hint at what might happen in next year’s crossover, LMG: "I think, with comic books period, it's always open-ended. Nothing's ever definitive. Even back in the day, like when Doomsday killed Superman, but then he came back. So, you know, stuff happens. I don't want to give too much away with the crossover. But, you know, in the comic book world... Like I was joking around with one of the producers, and we're talking about The Princess Bride and there was a scene in The Princess Bride where it's like, 'Is he a little dead or is he all the way dead?' Billy Crystal's character. To me, that's the comic book world: 'Is he dead, or is he just a little dead? Which "dead" is he?' So, you know, we'll see what happens, but I think the writers are creative, and that's the base of it."

Much of the filming was up on the roof of 1 of the buildings at the Plaza Of Nations.  ... Throughout the morning & early afternoon the cast, and the stunt doubles did a variety of large explosion type scenes. ... After lunch, I didnt see much happening, and it was clear that they were going to be filming inside the abandoned Edgewater Casino, so I left for a couple hours for my own lunch break. As anyone with Stephen Amell on social media knows, a photo with all the cast that were there (minus LaMonica) was taken that evening with his daughter Mavi. ... On the second day, all the same cast as the first day were there shooting, except LaMonica Garrett. ... This time, the day started off with the cast filming in the remnants of the old Plaza Of Nations amphitheatre, which now is just an empty pit. ... The scenes they shot seemed to have the cast all showing up to a spot amongst the rubble, as the Green Arrow and Mia Smoak are the last two to arrive, the group has a small chat, before the Supes fly off, and a group of 4 including Batwoman, The Green Arrow, The ATOM & Mia walk off past a burning car. ...

Unknown episode - Stephen Amell & Grant Gustin in Surrey. #LegendsOfTomorrow with Caity Lotz in Gastown ... #Arrow #TheFlash #COIE #Arrowverse." From blog article: "The night before I had been told it was for Supergirl. Yet when I got there, I found no sign it was for them. So I am unsure for which episode it was for, as it was not there too long. ... I finally saw a scene shot, and it was Stephen Amell dressed as the Green Arrow doing a scene where he seems to walk towards the middle of the courtyard from the library that was there. The angle I had for that was not good, so I went looking for a different one, and eventually found one..... just in time for them to have wrapped the 2 or 3 takes they did of that very short scene. ... A bit later, they were doing a different portion of the scene, and again, I wasnt sure exactly where they were shooting till near the end. I kept seeing background people running, but no actors around. my problem was I was looking near where Stephen had been earlier and where the background people were now running from thinking it was going to be more or less near there, but it wasnt. They had moved the primary part of it down to where I THOUGHT they were shooting at the start of the day, near the maze of lights and skrims.  By the time I found a position for it, I instantly saw the scene had Grant Gustin as The Flash zipping in and having a talk with the Green Arrow. Unfortunately Stephen was off screen, so he wasnt in full GA gear by then. They did that scene for a bit, then wrapped. That was it."

I think, of all the characters that are not in the crossover that I think people wanted to see, Felicity is probably at the top of that list. I included the Ray, from the Crisis on Earth-X crossover we did a few years ago as well as the animated series we did for CW Seed, and then there was going to be another character — a brand new character, because I thought it could be fun to add to the toolbox, but we had a lot of creative discussions, and it was decided, let’s use a pre-established Arrowverse character, so I chose Nyssa Al-Ghul, because Katrina [Law] is on another show and wasn’t available to participate in the crossover. ... Finally, there’s Wally West, because, again, scheduling limitations prevented the actor from being in the live action… but it’s easy to populate your comic book with whoever you want. Using those core four, we worked out our story and brought in characters like the Atom… and Batwoman… and Sara Lance… and Barry Allen. But it’s those core four that really drive our story."

There's some things that I just found out that I haven't quite - that I haven't quite, um, flipped in my head how to lie to you... and how to spin it yet... how to make a lie - how to make this shit smell a little good, like perfume. (Media: "Don't they prep you for that?") ... Well, they usually do, but I just found out... Like, I just found out what's happening, like, ultimately to Diggle in the crossover. We just found out.

While much of the crew there were terrific, one particular driver there decided they were going to flash their high beams right at me and a crew member when the cast was leaving theer trailers to get into the vehicle as a way of trying to prevent me from seeing them. ... Well joke was on them, because I had actually seen the scene shot in part a couple takes inside the alley way they have at the studio. In it, I saw Matt Ryan as John Constantine, and Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak there with of all peopel Tom Ellis dressed as Lucifer Morningstar. If you are an Arrowverse fan unfamiliar with Lucifer Morningstar, he is a character from a DC Vertigo property named 'Lucifer'. I also saw David Ramsey at the set, but from the angle I was at, I never actually saw him IN the scene. But there was literally no other reasons he would have been there, so I have to believe he was in the scene from an angle I could not see from the 2/3 of a city block away angle I had. All I know of the scene is, they walk out of a building that has a sign above it that says 'hotel'." (canadagraphs tweet & blog article, page 36 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

The Monitor and Lyla/Harbinger
-- On what the Monitor and Lyla/Harbinger dynamic is like, LMG: "In the comic book, it was more of a father/daughter kind of thing, like he raised her. With the show, it's hard to adapt everything from the comic book directly as it was, just because it's just not. It's too hard to do, especially in television. It's going to be a unique relationship, but it's going to be one that you can tell that they've been together for a while. This isn't something that just -- how he came to Oliver and how he came to Flash and just started telling them what to do, it wasn't one of those kind of relationships. They have history, and I think that's the fun part of watching it is to see how the history started with them and how deep it is. That's going to be something I think audiences will really like. You'll see a different side of both characters." (Nov. 16, 2019 CBR tweet & article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- AMA: "The relationship between The Monitor and Lyla is a tricky one ‘cause there’s a lot of things I can’t say. I can’t like tease too much ‘cause there’s a lot I can’t give away. It has this mystery. With that relationship dynamic, I had a lot of questions about that, too. You asked me previously about developing the character, and I was a little bit on the hot seat ‘cause I was getting bits and pieces of information, and I didn’t really know, initially, how I was gonna play all of that. What is that transition, going from Lyla Michael to the Harbinger. She’s never been a superhero, and I didn’t have a ton of history, initially. But honestly, once LaMonica [Garrett] and I started doing the scenes together, a lot of things really fell into place. Even I, the actor, thought that their relationship was one thing, and then I discovered that it was something else. Sometimes I would discover that while doing a scene, so that was a lot of fun. It was great. There was a lot of discovery in it. And then, the scripts would reveal what was going on. I had a bunch of questions and I went on my own little journey with it. Sorry, I can’t tease too many specific things." (Dec. 5, 2019 Collider article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

In the early part of the evening, they had Grant as The Flash doing a scene where he speeds into a spot on a street, stops and tries to talk to Cisco over his coms. He seemingly cant get a hold of him, so he then asks for Iris, again with seemingly no reply, before a bright light in front of him makes him shield his eyes with his arm till the light fades down. He then stares towards the place that light came from. Later on, they had Cody take Grants place, and brought in Audrey. They then shot the scene from the Harbinger side. For the first take, there was a pretty decent angle to watch, but then they got really defensive, and went out of their way to try and cover it up, which was odd coming from a show that is generally respectful of photographers & fans watching, and even odder when they already dropped a promo of the suit, and shot the scene in public for a couple takes already.

At 1 location, there were scenes inside the Butcher & Bullock Pub. They shot scenes in there for Supergirl AND Legends. Essentially with the same cast for all of it with 1 slight change between the two shows scenes. The pub was on Earth 1, and in Star City.... but I didnt catch if it had a name. ... In the opening scene they shot, Caity Lotz as Sara Lance and Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer (not Superman) were sitting in a pub playing trivia when Audrey Marie Anderson comes in as Harbinger and recruits them for Crisis. This scene was for the Supergirl episode. ... The later scene had Ray & Sara still there, but this time David Harewood as J'onn J'onnz was there with the pair, still in the same pub, just with J'onn there now instead of Harbinger. This scene seems like its after Crisis has ended, and maybe the pair were put back where they were found? But why is J'onn there now? This scene was for the Legends Of Tomorrow episode. ... A scene was then done out in the middle of the street at Oceanic Plaza (a very busy & popular filming location) that consisted of Ruby Rose as Batwoman fighting members of a gang in bunny masks. At some point she gets the upper hand, she has a gun type decide pointed at the gang as they are running around being a menace. We then find all the bunny guys on the ground motionless as she moves in towards 1 of them, a bright light appears and Harbinger is there. She tells Batwoman she is needed for the Crisis, and BW chalks her up to just another crazy and throws some batarangs at her, which do absolutely nothing. A few of the Harbinger shots at the beginning come from an anonymous fan who allowed me to use their photos. They had a much better vantage point than I found, so I am grateful for their efforts."

Future Team Arrow (Mia, Connor, William)
-- On why the Monitor put Future Team Arrow and Present Team Arrow together at the end of Arrow 803, LMG: "I think everything that The Monitor does, there's a greater purpose for it. Whether it's to get more of what he needs out of a particular character, or to just, you know, even disrupting, that would get something out of a particular character that he needs to be fulfilled before the Crisis starts. ... So, pretty much everything he does is leading up to the Crisis, and he needs all hands on deck, and the right mental state to approach the crisis. So, it's not just physical, it's mental, and his main subject for the Crisis is Oliver Queen." (Nov. 1, 2019 TV Fanatic article, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

-- From Oct. 12, 2019 papp blog article on Flash crossover filming: "So, by sheer fluke I stumbled across The Flash filming at a studio that Arrow uses. While much of the crew there were terrific, one particular driver there decided they were going to flash their high beams right at me and a crew member when the cast was leaving theer trailers to get into the vehicle as a way of trying to prevent me from seeing them. ... Well joke was on them, because I had actually seen the scene shot in part a couple takes inside the alley way they have at the studio. In it, I saw Matt Ryan as John Constantine, and Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak there with of all peopel Tom Ellis dressed as Lucifer Morningstar. If you are an Arrowverse fan unfamiliar with Lucifer Morningstar, he is a character from a DC Vertigo property named 'Lucifer'. I also saw David Ramsey at the set, but from the angle I was at, I never actually saw him IN the scene. But there was literally no other reasons he would have been there, so I have to believe he was in the scene from an angle I could not see from the 2/3 of a city block away angle I had. All I know of the scene is, they walk out of a building that has a sign above it that says 'hotel'." (canadagraphs tweet & blog article, page 36 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

Much of the filming was up on the roof of 1 of the buildings at the Plaza Of Nations. ... Throughout the morning & early afternoon the cast, and the stunt doubles did a variety of large explosion type scenes. ... After lunch, I didnt see much happening, and it was clear that they were going to be filming inside the abandoned Edgewater Casino, so I left for a couple hours for my own lunch break. As anyone with Stephen Amell on social media knows, a photo with all the cast that were there (minus LaMonica) was taken that evening with his daughter Mavi. ... On the second day, all the same cast as the first day were there shooting, except LaMonica Garrett. ... This time, the day started off with the cast filming in the remnants of the old Plaza Of Nations amphitheatre, which now is just an empty pit. ... The scenes they shot seemed to have the cast all showing up to a spot amongst the rubble, as the Green Arrow and Mia Smoak are the last two to arrive, the group has a small chat, before the Supes fly off, and a group of 4 including Batwoman, The Green Arrow, The ATOM & Mia walk off past a burning car. ...

Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law)
-- When asked how he decided which characters he was going to focus on in the related comic book chapters (Crisis On Infinite Earths Giant #1 and #2), MG: "As far as characters, I started off with Felicity Smoak. I think, of all the characters that are not in the crossover that I think people wanted to see, Felicity is probably at the top of that list. I included the Ray, from the Crisis on Earth-X crossover we did a few years ago as well as the animated series we did for CW Seed, and then there was going to be another character — a brand new character, because I thought it could be fun to add to the toolbox, but we had a lot of creative discussions, and it was decided, let’s use a pre-established Arrowverse character, so I chose Nyssa Al-Ghul, because Katrina [Law] is on another show and wasn’t available to participate in the crossover. ... Finally, there’s Wally West, because, again, scheduling limitations prevented the actor from being in the live action… but it’s easy to populate your comic book with whoever you want. Using those core four, we worked out our story and brought in characters like the Atom… and Batwoman… and Sara Lance… and Barry Allen. But it’s those core four that really drive our story."

Lian Yu
-- DR: "Lian Yu plays an integral part in not only next week’s episode [Arrow 807-'Purgatory'], but also in [the]'Crisis' [crossover event].

SUMMARY OF CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS ("COIE") CROSSOVER SPOILERS - Part 7 of 14:

Spoiler

Oliver Queen and Barry Allen
-- MG: "I’d say certainly for Barry and Oliver, there is an emotional denouement that is reminiscent of [Avengers:] Endgame... Endgame is an exclamation point. ‘Crisis’ is a semi-colon.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per MG, though not every one of the dozens of characters to appear can get an arc of their own, “it was very important that the five leads each had an emotional story that took you all the way from hour one to hour five.” This means a lot of interaction between Oliver and Barry, as the two heroes who formed the foundation of this multiverse, and also a fair amount between Supergirl and Batwoman, whose chemistry was a revelation to MG and the others when they briefly interacted during Elseworlds. (Dec. 5, 2019 Rolling Stone article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per Flash EP Eric Wallace, there is a scene in which Barry and Oliver discover their roles in The Monitor’s plan and “let’s just say people might get pissed off a little.” (Oct. 15, 2019 RottenTomatoes article, page 23 of Spoiler Discussion Final thread in Arrow forum)
-- On whether Barry is aware that Oliver is also working for the Monitor right now, Flash EP Eric Wallace: "No, and when they both find out, it’s good stuff. It’s so great. I can’t tell you when it happens, but I will tell you that is a scene that happened. It is a moment, and it is coming. Let’s just say that people might get pissed off, a little bit." (Oct. 4, 2019 Collider article, page 34 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On Oliver and Barry finding out about each other's destined deaths in the Crisis, Flash EP Eric Wallace: “Boy, I wonder what will happen when they both find out... I can’t tell you when it happens, but I will tell you that is a scene that happened and is a moment, and it is coming. Let’s just say people might get pissed off a little!” (Oct. 8, 2019 TVLine article, page 35 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Flash EP Eric Wallace: "Barry has always seen Oliver as a mentor, so what happens when your mentor goes? Goes away permanently?

-- SA: "[Grant Gustin] is my favorite person as a guest star to work with. I love working with him. I actually have a pitch that I pitched to our writer last night about Oliver and Barry's last interaction. I hope it happens... And also it's been really, really fun just watching Grant grow into, you know, such an awesome leadership role. And, um, again, by being first, like, I'm sort of like the de facto captain of the ship. But when I'm gone, he will be, and he is more than capable."

In the early part of the evening, they had Grant as The Flash doing a scene where he speeds into a spot on a street, stops and tries to talk to Cisco over his coms. He seemingly cant get a hold of him, so he then asks for Iris, again with seemingly no reply, before a bright light in front of him makes him shield his eyes with his arm till the light fades down. He then stares towards the place that light came from. Later on, they had Cody take Grants place, and brought in Audrey. They then shot the scene from the Harbinger side. For the first take, there was a pretty decent angle to watch, but then they got really defensive, and went out of their way to try and cover it up, which was odd coming from a show that is generally respectful of photographers & fans watching, and even odder when they already dropped a promo of the suit, and shot the scene in public for a couple takes already.

As their conversation was winding down (it really was a loooooooong talking scene) something startles the two super heroes, and they turn around and attack whatever it is.... but soon they settle down, and start talking to the mystery person. The ONLY part of the conversation I could make out was Sara saying 'yeah John, you're a little late, already happened'.... The sides being read out by the other character were done by a crew member as the actor in that spot was not actually there, and the actors on set needed verbal cues to let them know when to deliver their lines. ...

Flash runs forward, while Supergirl simulates flying off, and The ATOM seems to just disappear (wondering if he went into super small size) off to the side of where the camera was. ... The license plates had 'Land Of Mist' plates, which are used for Starling City usually. So it seems like this scene was set there. ... A bit later, the trio moved down the street.

The scene seemed to have Heatwave in the middle of the street pointing his glue.... err heat gun at something/someone above him. Off to his right The Flash was busy in a tug of war with something (I mean in reality it was a crew member, but I doubt thats what its supposed actually be). Eventually the pair freeze for a moment while ATOM & Supergirl come in and act like they just zipped in. They then help The Flash in his tug of war, and Heatwave grabs on the to back end.

Nash Wells AND Eobard Thawne AND Pariah (Tom Cavanagh)
-- Tom Cavanagh will take on the role of the immortal Pariah. First glimpsed throughout the original COIE comic series, Pariah would appear as world were about to die, cursed to witness their final moments as penance for past misdeeds.

That storyline sets the stage for the entire  COIE event. (SDCC, Jul. 20, 2019: Jul. 21, 2019 TooFab article, page 24 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

She made a few motions like she was using it in a battle. But I had no more context than seeing her swinging it around a bit to know what she was doing with it. No other actors seemed to be in the scene with her. ... A little while later Grant & Melissa showed up to shoot a couple scenes. First up, a scene where The Flash zips in while Supergirl seems to be engaging with Weather Witch, then the Weather Witch is seemingly pushed out of the area as The Flash zips in. Did he save Kara?

I think, of all the characters that are not in the crossover that I think people wanted to see, Felicity is probably at the top of that list. I included the Ray, from the Crisis on Earth-X crossover we did a few years ago as well as the animated series we did for CW Seed, and then there was going to be another character — a brand new character, because I thought it could be fun to add to the toolbox, but we had a lot of creative discussions, and it was decided, let’s use a pre-established Arrowverse character, so I chose Nyssa Al-Ghul, because Katrina [Law] is on another show and wasn’t available to participate in the crossover. ... Finally, there’s Wally West, because, again, scheduling limitations prevented the actor from being in the live action… but it’s easy to populate your comic book with whoever you want. Using those core four, we worked out our story and brought in characters like the Atom… and Batwoman… and Sara Lance… and Barry Allen. But it’s those core four that really drive our story."

Once again, you're doing god's work, @tv echo

This is a particularly good interview with MG. It also makes it sound like the Arrow/Legends episodes of the crossover aren't locked and he's trying to squeeze in more surprise guests?

Quote

https://www.indiewire.com/2019/12/marc-guggenheim-interview-crisis-on-infinite-earths-arrow-cw-1202194754/

Are there still some actors that were cast but haven’t been revealed yet?

Guggenheim: Yeah, I like how there are at least six characters who appear in the first three hours that we haven’t announced. And I’m working on even more for the last two hours. So we’ve obviously announced a bunch, but I really want the audience to be able to tune in and still be surprised. So there are surprises of sorts that we’ve managed to keep secret, and not without great difficulty, I will tell you.

He says something similar in his Variety interview:

Quote

https://variety.com/2019/tv/features/arrowverse-boss-breaks-down-journey-to-crisis-on-infinite-earths-1203426800/

However, at less than a week until the episodes start to air (and with production wrapped), Guggenheim shares that they’re still working to get an additional person involved in the crossover: “The paint does not dry on this until we are literally about to deliver for air.”

Also, this must be about Crisis on Earth-X, right? It seems like the one that the actors were most vocal about how hard it was. 

Quote

https://www.indiewire.com/2019/12/marc-guggenheim-interview-crisis-on-infinite-earths-arrow-cw-1202194754/

When you’re all on set for the crossover, is there any sort of mission statement or a mantra just to keep everyone from going insane?

Guggenheim: We try really hard just to be have a positive attitude and create a positive environment. But I have to say, we’ve had crossovers in years past that were a lot harder on the cast than others. And one of the things I think we’ve learned over the years is not just how to schedule this so that the schedule can tell the story, but to schedule in a way that doesn’t abuse our cast. And I think over the last couple of years, it’s been a much more positive experience for the cast and for the crew.

And my philosophy is that if you walk around with your head on fire or you’re constantly collapsing under the weight of all the pressure and the strain, then you are basically creating a toxic environment that filters down to everybody else. So we just try to maintain an upbeat disposition, and I do think one of the things that’s helped is that this is our fifth crossover, and the fact that we’ve done it four times successfully already. Even though this one is far more, just we have that institutional memory, and when moments of panic threaten to set in, we’re able to go, “Okay, you know what? We’ve been through bad times. We’ve been through challenges before. We’ve come through it. It’s worked out before, it’ll work out again now.”

And Brandon [Routh], I didn't work with him before. And, his suit, the Kingdom Come Superman is probably one of my favorite suits of the new suits. It was amazing."

Maybe a magician? Whatever was going on, it seemed to end with White Canary punching out the mystery man.... ... In the night scene, we had Grant as Barry Allen and Caity as Sara Lance sitting on the stairs talking. It was clear that it was one of those 'we've been through some stuff, and it might get tougher' talks. I dont know who was needing the talk more, but they both had on their solemn faces at times.... ... As their conversation was winding down (it really was a loooooooong talking scene) something startles the two super heroes, and they turn around and attack whatever it is.... but soon they settle down, and start talking to the mystery person. The ONLY part of the conversation I could make out was Sara saying 'yeah John, you're a little late, already happened'.... The sides being read out by the other character were done by a crew member as the actor in that spot was not actually there, and the actors on set needed verbal cues to let them know when to deliver their lines. ... After the pair did their scenes, Grant wrapped for the night, and they did a quick 5-8 minutes of getting solo Sara talking scenes before wrapping all together for the night."

-- In response to fan comments that the Kingdom Come story relies on Lois Lane being murdered in cold blood and men's lack of sensitivity in celebrating it as the catalyst for Superman's entire journey (classic fridge), that Superman retires because of his wife's murder and the public's embracing murder and violence, and that this story hits a nerve for women, MG tweeted: "I disagree that the story relies on Lois’s death. The story doesn’t depend on it at all." and "Superman's retirement and his reasons for it is backstory, not the story itself. The story itself doesn't even depend on Superman being retired.

-- Per MG, it was legendary comic book artist Jim Lee who helped him include Brandon Routh as an alternate Superman in the COIE crossover. MG: “It’s never legal wrangling... It’s the usual dance we do when we’re trying to access characters from the DC universe outside of the Arrowverse. So it’s just conversations. I will tell you, Jim Lee was incredibly instrumental in those conversations. It’s funny, I don’t think of it as legal wrangling so much as diplomacy and Jim was amazing, and such a gentleman about it, a real advocate for the shows, a real advocate for the studios. I have to say it was really painless.” However, MG was reluctant to call BR's crossover appearance a sequel to Superman Returns, saying: “I don’t know if it’s for me to say... We’re picking up so many years after the events of that movie, maybe a coda is a better word than sequel."

So it was all very, um - it was almost the most important part of the journey for me was the lead-up to actually being on camera as him again. Um, it was kind of a healing process for me, uh, because after Superman Returns, I - again, as a naive young man, I'd be doing more. So the whole process of being able to come back and do this was incredibly healing, and I'm grateful for the opportunity. And, um, it was easier because I felt more like Superman, I think, because I'm now 40 and I felt more mature and, like, I owned him in a different way than I did. I was kinda feeling [unintelligible word] I was playing like my idea of Superman a little bit more at 25 than I am now at 40."

So I was actually very nervous because, 'wow, man, how do I - how do  I do this guy?' ... I really have to fit back into him. And I only have a limited exposure on screen, so I gotta make it count. Um, so I was more nervous about Clark than Superman, which is usually the opposite for me. I'm usually more comfortable as Clark. But it was awesome. Um, and I think the moments that are in there with him in the event are pretty great. I'm excited to see those. It was very satisfying. I'm very grateful for the opportunity."

-- Mod said that "we are so, so excited" that BR will be returning as Superman in the crossover and asked how that came about. BR: "Superman has always been a very important character, an opportunity for me in my life, launched my career largely. And, you know, I think there are a lot of feelings to be had about Superman Returns. And I think I always do my best to see that movie as a transitionary film, bringing that character into a new - new age and transitioning from Christopher Reeve, which anybody who would've taken on that role would've had a challenge to do. So I'm very proud of what that film did and where it's what Superman and where he's evolving to, you know, through the various people who've played him since. Um, and I felt like I had more - more to do with the character. I always felt, um, I would've liked another opportunity. And especially as I've gotten older, I've learned more about myself and my life and the world, that I thought, man, I could do this so much better because I have so much more maturity and wisdom and all kinds of things that Superman should have. But I didn't really - I hoped that maybe I'd have an opportunity to do this again but didn't really think it was a true possibility. But then Marc Guggenheim called up amidst, um - during hiatus last season and asked if I'd - floated the idea of being Superman again in the Crisis event. And I said, 'wow, that's - I'm honored, flattered that you would even ask me. Let me just think about that, to make sure that's the best decision for me.' And I talked it over with Courtney, thought about it myself, and realized that, you know, this was a great opportunity for me to close the door that I hadn't fully closed before. And thankfully, Marc was very open talking to me about what it going to look like and listening to me creatively about what I was finding a balance between what he needed for the - for me to be in the storyline - and what I wanted to have hold over from Superman Returns. And so we found a nice amalgam of those two characters, uh, those two storylines, and kind of put them into the same character. Um, there's a lot of confusion about what the character, who the character is. People truly have to - because I can't spoil it all - but they have to watch the event, um, the Crisis episodes, um, to know. But it is - it is - it is that Superman from Superman Returns in a different world, that storyline, but in the future, things have happened, um, that are similar to what has happened in the Kingdom Come, um, version of Superman. So it's a new issue - version, uh, but combining those two - those two worlds into it. So anyway, I was very honored to be able to play the character again, going through the whole process of trying on the suit, being in the suit, having to do - an amazing, wonderful response from people on social media liking the suit meant a tremendous amount to me, so I appreciate all of you who'd responded and liked and just been a part of the process. It - it means a lot to me to know that - that it means a lot to you guys, um,  because, um, that's who I'm doing it for... As much as it's for me, it's for everyone else, because if nobody else cares, then what does it matter to me?... So it's a team effort... I'm excited for people to see it. I feel now the door is closed." (Wizard World Bay Area, Nov. 23, 2019: Nov. 24, 2019 steven alvarez video of LoT panel, page 43 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

So I might see, you know, his previous - some of his previous episodes, and so I kinda knew going in that we had a different take on both Superman and Clark. So I think, you know, there's no - not treading on anybody's ground there... So, uh, we were good."

-- When asked which suit was more comfortable, Superman suit or Atom suit, BR: "The most comfortable suit is probably the most recent suit, the Kingdom Come Superman suit. Yeah... The Atom suit got more comfortable as I was wearing it, but for a long period of time, it's all of the armored pieces get a little binding for the back and your posture. And I had to get into better shape to become Superman again, so when I did that, the Atom suit didn't fit as well, as I got bigger. Although it did have some adjustment ability, it made that more confining. But the Superman - the new Superman suit was made better. They just had so much technology of the team that made it, really did a great job, really listened to me, I had more input, which was awesome, about how I could fly in it and move in it."

-- On which hero he was most excited to work with and why, LMG: "Really, the Kingdom Come Superman, Brandon [Routh]. That suit, to me, was the best suit on set. It's funny because actors would come up to me and they'd be like, 'Oh, that suit!' Like, this is their first time seeing it in person. The Monitor has a great suit! He has a great getup. It's uncomfortable and it hurts. It's not a fun suit to be in. But aesthetically, it's cut directly from the page. It looks the part and it's a throwback to the older way of comic books, when all these new suits were new and modern and sleek and aerodynamic, and the Monitor is like clunking around. So people loved my suit, but that Kingdom Come Superman, it was something about that black 'S' background that was just awesome to me seeing that for the first time."

They are forever penpals, like in the comics where he sets it up and all of a sudden he just like takes the mantle. It’s not like that. ... This is very much Ryan Choi as Ryan Choi. He's a professor at a university one of his idols comes in and he gets to meet him - that's a cool moment. And like for me, I was a big fan of Brandon as well.

-- On what character did he want Ryan Choi to interact with the most, Osric Chau: "I didn't really set any expectations. I think it was such a whirlwind and there's just so much excitement to be in the universe, let alone being in the universe as Ryan Choi that I had no expectations. I mean I’m glad that Ryan got to meet Ray Palmer. That’s super awesome. That's the one I would want it to happen. But Ryan got to meet a lot of people. I can't say who else."

-- Cast members reacted to BR in his new Superman suit. DR: "Seeing him in the Superman outfit was just — everybody just gasped... Brandon looked like a Greek God. He looked like 6'6'' or 6'7'', muscles everywhere, a little grey in his hair. It was just perfect. And he just had this thing about him. His hands were always on his hips. He was golden era Superman... You think about Superman and if you say the words super man — he looked like a super man... Your eyes just couldn't get off of Brandon." CV: "It was really fun watching Brandon Routh just like flip over and change over from Ray Palmer to being essentially Super-Brandon — that's what we've been calling him... It's super weird but also really gratifying to watch him play these two characters, you know? It means a lot, not just for the fans and the writers, but also for Brandon himself. I think that's part of what fascinates me about him playing these two characters is that I have to imagine there's a personal component as well. I'm just sort of caught in all the different imaginings of what this must mean for him to revisit that character while also playing out the rest of this character." HS: "That was one of the coolest things that I've ever gotten to do in my life, just seeing [Brandon Routh] walk out in the costume. Like, 'Holy Toledo! That's that guy, that's him,' ... Brandon has a deep, deep understanding of what Superman really represents and what that character is really about, and to see somebody who plays that character so well and then to learn the understanding that he has and the thought that he's put into it? That was really cool. I kind of just bowed down before him because it was like, 'Man, not only are you so good at this, but you get it. You completely get it!'"

At 1 location, there were scenes inside the Butcher & Bullock Pub. They shot scenes in there for Supergirl AND Legends. Essentially with the same cast for all of it with 1 slight change between the two shows scenes. The pub was on Earth 1, and in Star City.... but I didnt catch if it had a name. ... In the opening scene they shot, Caity Lotz as Sara Lance and Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer (not Superman) were sitting in a pub playing trivia when Audrey Marie Anderson comes in as Harbinger and recruits them for Crisis. This scene was for the Supergirl episode. ... The later scene had Ray & Sara still there, but this time David Harewood as J'onn J'onnz was there with the pair, still in the same pub, just with J'onn there now instead of Harbinger. This scene seems like its after Crisis has ended, and maybe the pair were put back where they were found? But why is J'onn there now? This scene was for the Legends Of Tomorrow episode."

Much of the filming was up on the roof of 1 of the buildings at the Plaza Of Nations.  ... Throughout the morning & early afternoon the cast, and the stunt doubles did a variety of large explosion type scenes. ... After lunch, I didnt see much happening, and it was clear that they were going to be filming inside the abandoned Edgewater Casino, so I left for a couple hours for my own lunch break. As anyone with Stephen Amell on social media knows, a photo with all the cast that were there (minus LaMonica) was taken that evening with his daughter Mavi. ... On the second day, all the same cast as the first day were there shooting, except LaMonica Garrett. ... This time, the day started off with the cast filming in the remnants of the old Plaza Of Nations amphitheatre, which now is just an empty pit. ... The scenes they shot seemed to have the cast all showing up to a spot amongst the rubble, as the Green Arrow and Mia Smoak are the last two to arrive, the group has a small chat, before the Supes fly off, and a group of 4 including Batwoman, The Green Arrow, The ATOM & Mia walk off past a burning car. ...

This time, they shot a couple different scenes here. The first one had Grant Gustin as The Flash, Brandon Routh as The ATOM, and Melissa Benoist as Supergirl on set. They were shooting a scene where the trio were in the middle of the street as civilians scramble to get out of there. Flash & Supergirl are facing what I assume is some type of problem, while The ATOM seems more excited to just take a selfie of himself and his friends. The Flash gives him the 'are you kidding?' look, and eventually ATOM turns around to face the situation the other two were looking at. ... After a few moments of banter, the team seems to split up. Flash runs forward, while Supergirl simulates flying off, and The ATOM seems to just disappear (wondering if he went into super small size) off to the side of where the camera was. ... The license plates had 'Land Of Mist' plates, which are used for Starling City usually. So it seems like this scene was set there. ... A bit later, the trio moved down the street. They were joined this time by Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory/Heatwave for a scene. ... The scene seemed to have Heatwave in the middle of the street pointing his glue.... err heat gun at something/someone above him. Off to his right The Flash was busy in a tug of war with something (I mean in reality it was a crew member, but I doubt thats what its supposed actually be). Eventually the pair freeze for a moment while ATOM & Supergirl come in and act like they just zipped in. They then help The Flash in his tug of war, and Heatwave grabs on the to back end.

Well joke was on them, because I had actually seen the scene shot in part a couple takes inside the alley way they have at the studio. In it, I saw Matt Ryan as John Constantine, and Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak there with of all peopel Tom Ellis dressed as Lucifer Morningstar. If you are an Arrowverse fan unfamiliar with Lucifer Morningstar, he is a character from a DC Vertigo property named 'Lucifer'. I also saw David Ramsey at the set, but from the angle I was at, I never actually saw him IN the scene. But there was literally no other reasons he would have been there, so I have to believe he was in the scene from an angle I could not see from the 2/3 of a city block away angle I had. All I know of the scene is, they walk out of a building that has a sign above it that says 'hotel'."

-- MG: “While we honor the Barry and Oliver relationship, what’s been really, really nice is developing the relationship between Kara and Kate [Ruby Rose]... We really just teased it at the end of the ‘Elseworlds’ last year with the World’s Finest reference, but we really get a chance to dig deeper into that and have those two characters supporting each other much in the same way that Barry and Oliver have been supporting each other in previous crossovers.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per MG, though not every one of the dozens of characters to appear can get an arc of their own, “it was very important that the five leads each had an emotional story that took you all the way from hour one to hour five.” This means a lot of interaction between Oliver and Barry, as the two heroes who formed the foundation of this multiverse, and also a fair amount between Supergirl and Batwoman, whose chemistry was a revelation to MG and the others when they briefly interacted during Elseworlds.

While I was able to get photos of the Kelly stunt double with the shield, the couple takes they did with Azie holding it were inconveniently blocked by a large crane they were using for the earlier shots. So I never got a good one of her with it." (candagraphs tweet & blog article, page 34 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

(Nov. 17, 2019 Dose.ca article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum, and Nov. 26, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- From Flash 609 synopsis: "Pariah (Tom Cavanagh) enlists Black Lightning (guest star Cress Williams) to help stop the Anti-Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett) after Flash-90 (guest star John Wesley Shipp) shares what he learned from his battle in ‘Elseworlds.’ With the help of Black Lightning, Barry (Grant Gustin), Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) come up with a plan that could save them all." (Nov. 21, 2019 SpoilerTV article, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Flash's crossover promo pics include Green Arrow (SA), Diggle (DR), Supergirl (MB), Batwoman (RR), Cisco (CV), the Monitor (LMG), Earth-90 Flash (JWS), Killer Frost (DP), Pariah (TC), Flash (GG), Elongated Man (HS), Kingdom Come Superman (BR), Arrowverse Superman (TH), Black Lightning (CW), Iris West-Allen (CP), Ryan Choi (OC), and Arrowverse Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer). (Nov. 25, 2019 CBR and Batman-News articles, page 43 of of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG initially assumed that, at most, Black Lightning star Cress Williams might be able to shoot a brief cameo (which would be his first onscreen interaction with Amell, Gustin, and the others). But when MG called that show’s EP, Salim Akil, he says Akil told him, “‘If Black Lightning’s going to be a part of it, it has to be more than just a cameo. It has to be a meaningful appearance.'” Akil’s team helped clear CW's calendar, while playing the same role the producers on all the individual series do when their characters participate in a crossover, MG says: “Keeping us honest, doing dialogue passes, reviewing cuts, and making sure the version of Black Lightning that we were depicting was the correct version.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Rolling Stone article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: “Black Lightning’s in it much more than we ever anticipated, and he’s in it in a very significant way. That’s something we worked very closely with the team at Black Lightning because the attitude among all of us, but I don’t want to speak for Black Lightning folks, was if we’re going to bring Black Lightning into the crossover, it can’t just be for a cameo. It has to be in a way that feels significant while still of course dealing with our time and space limitations.” (Nov. 26, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: “For me, the highlight is a scene with him [Cress Williams] and Grant Gustin that is so emotional, it’s so affecting, [that] it really justifies why these two characters are sharing the screen together. It’s a very spoiler-ish scene, but both Grant and Cress just knock it straight out of the park.” (Nov. 26, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: “I think probably the most fun that we had was writing little moments where Cress Williams’ character is reacting to this idea of there are other superheroes and, wow, some of them are really strange... He has a reaction to meeting Superman that I think is is really particularly humorous. And even the interaction he has with Batwoman, who sort of remarks, ‘Yeah, I was the new kid last year.’ We love our meta jokes in the crossovers.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Variety article, page 46 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- MG: “What’s most fun about having Black Lightning be part of the crossover is that Black Lightning has never interacted with our characters before, any of them... There’s a fun interaction between Black Lightning and Rory from Legends. Rory calls him Sparkles, which tickles me to no end.” (Nov. 26, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- When asked if we will get to see Kara meet Jefferson in COIE, MG tweeted: "Yes." (Nov. 20, 2019 mguggenheim tweet, page 42 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- CW: "Black Lightning gets pulled into the conflict in a very surprising way... He’s not prepared for it. So, he doesn’t know these people. He’s getting introduced into the world for the very first time, and so there’s some conflict early on when he’s trying to figure out, who are you people and why am I here? ... He’s kind of left off-center, which was really fun to play.” (Nov. 26, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On Black Lightning's role in the crossover, CW: "He gets brought in to do something only he can... He's definitely integral to the journey." (Pics of COIE article in Dec. 2019 print issue of Entertainment Weekly, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On stepping onto the Arrowverse set for the first time, CW: "It's like going to a new school... I was just really overwhelmed at the pure number of people, and all of their supersuits. I was working with the Flash, two Supermen, most of the cast of The Flash, and some Arrow people. It was just a real hodgepodge, a full room." (Pics of COIE article in Dec. 2019 print issue of Entertainment Weekly, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- CW worked the most with the Flash's GG. CW: “There are some similarities with the Flash and Black Lightning, so that was really fun to play around with." (Nov. 26, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On his favorite scene so far, Cress Williams: "What stands out to me -- and I think, just because it was totally different -- was honestly a scene, I can't tell you about anything, but, a scene that I did in Vancouver. Uh, that was a lot of fun, I think, partly just, you know, I mean, I guess I can say it was with Grant. Um, but it was, um - so you're working with a new person in a new environment, that's just always kind of is (makes gesture with his hands) ... And Grant and I, like, just behind the scenes, really discovered that we have a lot of the same sensibilities when it comes to the work. And they wrote a scene that was really just a good, you know, person-to-person scene... It went by, like,  so fast, but it was really fun to do." (Nov. 9, 2019 AfterBuzz TV Red Carpets & Interviews video of Cress Williams interview and Nov. 10, 2019 ComicBook article, page 40 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what it was like to stand with a bunch of other superheroes, Cress Williams: "First of all, it was awesome. It was just massive, the amount of people, you know? Ah, the amount of Number Ones, the amount of superheroes, was just massive. And, uh, they handled it well. But then there was - you had these out-of-body moments when you just kind of - not while you're acting but in between shots when you just looked around and everybody's in some sort of costume and you're like, 'this is weird...' Everyone's in capes and tights and you're like, 'wow, this is really bizarre.' But, um, all in all, it was great. You know, they welcomed me with open arms, and I had a blast...."

Jefferson Pierce's Daughters
-- On whether Jefferson Pierce's daughters, Jennifer and Anissa, will be involved in the COIE crossover, China Anne McClain: "The daughters in the family are definitely going to be involved in the crossover in some sort of way. We're not going to be in the Flash episode, if that's not too much to say. But, yes, here in Freeland, we're going to be dealing with the effects of 'Crisis of Infinite Earths.' Yeah. And not just our family. It's going to be bigger than that. Yeah." When she was then asked about the other crossover episodes, McClain said: "Look, I'm not going to confirm or deny...

-- MG: “While we honor the Barry and Oliver relationship, what’s been really, really nice is developing the relationship between Kara and Kate [Ruby Rose]... We really just teased it at the end of the ‘Elseworlds’ last year with the World’s Finest reference, but we really get a chance to dig deeper into that and have those two characters supporting each other much in the same way that Barry and Oliver have been supporting each other in previous crossovers.” (Dec. 5, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Per MG, though not every one of the dozens of characters to appear can get an arc of their own, “it was very important that the five leads each had an emotional story that took you all the way from hour one to hour five.” This means a lot of interaction between Oliver and Barry, as the two heroes who formed the foundation of this multiverse, and also a fair amount between Supergirl and Batwoman, whose chemistry was a revelation to MG and the others when they briefly interacted during Elseworlds.

We do 5 hours of television. We're DC. Marvel came out and did this whole, like, Avengers 10-hour thing. So now we have to do like a 10-hour movie. It's great... Being Batwoman is awesome.

It was this wonderful actress that I'm working with in it, Ruby Rose... She is so - looking into her eyes on the other side of the camera, I just fell into her eyes. I thought, okay, I'm back in that - in that room again. I'm back - I'm able to just block out everything around me and I'm just talking to her. And, um - and it brought it all back to me."

She wasn’t here for very long, but we did get a chance to hang out after she finished filming and it was so crazy to see the photos of her as the Huntress.

-- When asked how he decided which characters he was going to focus on in the related comic book chapters (Crisis On Infinite Earths Giant #1 and #2), MG: "As far as characters, I started off with Felicity Smoak. I think, of all the characters that are not in the crossover that I think people wanted to see, Felicity is probably at the top of that list. I included the Ray, from the Crisis on Earth-X crossover we did a few years ago as well as the animated series we did for CW Seed, and then there was going to be another character — a brand new character, because I thought it could be fun to add to the toolbox, but we had a lot of creative discussions, and it was decided, let’s use a pre-established Arrowverse character, so I chose Nyssa Al-Ghul, because Katrina [Law] is on another show and wasn’t available to participate in the crossover. ... Finally, there’s Wally West, because, again, scheduling limitations prevented the actor from being in the live action… but it’s easy to populate your comic book with whoever you want. Using those core four, we worked out our story and brought in characters like the Atom… and Batwoman… and Sara Lance… and Barry Allen. But it’s those core four that really drive our story."

-- On his version of Ryan Choi, OC: "Well I guess it's the only version right now. I absolutely love playing Ryan. I read the comics a while back and there's a lot of little details that I wanted to put in, but being the new guy on set I didn’t want to rock the boat too much. ... If they bring Ryan back, I think I'll have more confidence in putting it in. For some of those little beats, if he takes too long or if he adds in a second - they just can't do it in the edit and they'd have to cut it out anyway. So, I think for this I was more concerned of just making sure I did my job before I start throwing in all those little things that I love so much about the comics."

I'm very happy with his involvement in it. ... Things shift all the time, so who knows what the final product will be, but it was really cool to be there in the company that I got to be there with. I think they certainly set him up to be a pretty cool character in this universe. I'm just excited to see where it goes from here." (Nov. 26, 2019 Newsarama article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether he gets to interact with Ray Palmer or even BR's Superman, OC: "So that's the cool thing. Ray Palmer has the first scene with Ryan, along with Iris and Elongated Man. So, there's definitely a moment where he sees his predecessor for that story still there. They are forever penpals, like in the comics where he sets it up and all of a sudden he just like takes the mantle. It’s not like that. ... This is very much Ryan Choi as Ryan Choi. He's a professor at a university one of his idols comes in and he gets to meet him - that's a cool moment. And like for me, I was a big fan of Brandon as well. I loved his Superman and I know it gets a lot of flack but, I actually really enjoyed it. So, it was a cool moment because that first day I got to meet him as well." (Nov. 26, 2019 Newsarama article, page 44 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what character did he want Ryan to interact with the most, OC: "I didn't really set any expectations. I think it was such a whirlwind and there's just so much excitement to be in the universe, let alone being in the universe as Ryan Choi that I had no expectations. I mean I’m glad that Ryan got to meet Ray Palmer. That’s super awesome. That's the one I would want it to happen. But Ryan got to meet a lot of people. I can't say who else."

-- On whether he wanted a superhero suit, OC: "Are you kidding? Of course, I wanted a suit. I mean it happened so fast, within a week I had already gone to Australia, rushed back and was in a fitting room. So, there's definitely no time for a suit, but that being said, I love that we get to explore Ryan. ... I love to see a human amongst heroes and just to see that dynamic because everyone is so super everyone. Everyone is so capable of dealing with these situations. And I think Ryan brings a real human element to it that he just won. It was really nice to see a human without powers or any experience. And, personally, I love that journey of getting to that point where you do have the tights on. So, at some point, I hope so, but I have loved exploring human Ryan."

DJ Qualls: "She used to play my wife on Z Nation." Osric Chau: "Really?" DJ Qualls: "Yeah." Osric Chau: "That's a great show." DJ Qualls: "I love her." Osric Chau: "Um, so I was recently cast as Ryan Choi and - you want to know who Ryan Choi is? Let me tell you, and it's kind of special, because seven years ago, my roommate - we went through this list of superheroes, like, okay, if you could play any superhero, probably be Ryan Choi. And he like literally said that and he bought me all the comics and I read the comics and I started getting to know the writer Gail Simone, who created the character, and she's like, 'oh my god, you're perfect for Ryan.' ... And I made a pitch deck and I tried to pitch it to The CW, and they're like, 'we're doing something with the Atom, we can't look at it.' But seven years later, they cast me... So Ryan Choi becomes the - the new Atom. So he becomes the superhero. and in theory I could be the first Asian superhero in the DC [unintelligible word because of loud audience cheers]... Um, especially these last couple of years, I've been really fighting for Asian representation... As you said, we have Crazy Rich Asians and all these TV shows coming up, it's definitely been helping... You know, with the support of the Supernatural family, I've always been like a very prominent member of our community and, you now, very vocal about. And, you know, for a while there, there wasn't that many prominent Asian actors and I was one of them. But, um, it was kind of cool because, as all of these people started shooting upwards, you know, I - I still was one of the loudest always and now it's nice to have an even bigger platform to do that with. I mean, basically what I'm saying is, I'm not changing anything that I've done. I'm still gonna be, you know, pushing for these things, going to all these events, supporting all my friends and acquaintances and people that I don't know because, you know, it's about knowing what, like, that goal, that purpose is. And again, once you have it, everything else - the how kind of finds itself. Um, so I definitely feel some pressure, but it's not more than before, because at some point - like, another thing, I produced my first feature film last year. (Audience cheers and applauds) And this is along those same lines, at some point, I was like, man, why aren't - like, why aren't writers writing more of these characters? Why aren't directors directing ore of that kind of story? And then I'm like, wait a minute, if I'm not doing it, then... yeah, I can't really complain, I'm kind of a hypocrite. And then I  realize, like, I'm kind of - I mean, I'm one of those people that everyone else is looking to, waiting for me to do something. I'm like, oh man, people are probably complaining that I'm not doing anything. So I just had to start doing it. Um, so I think, you know, this new character, this new role, it definitely opens a lot of doors for that. Um, I - I just have to be a creator and I have to inspire others to do the same. Like, as much as I would love to hire literally all my friends, the numbers just don't work out that way. So what's better is for me to hire as many of my friends as possible and to inspire others to create their own industries and, like, kind of help them open the door, if I can. So that's - that's kind of what's on my radar right now."

Jim Corrigan AKA The Spectre (Stephen Lobo)
-- Detective Jim Corrigan, human host of the powerful cosmic entity known as the Spectre, will appear in the COIE crossover. The CW has cast Stephen Lobo as Jim Corrigan. The network isn't confirming whether The Spectre himself will appear, though given the character's role in the original Crisis on Infinite Earths comic, that seems a distinct possibility. MG: acknowledged as much, teasing, “Fans of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic know the Spectre plays a pivotal role. We’re thrilled Stephen is our Jim Corrigan.” In the comics, Corrigan is a mortal human bonded to the Spectre, a powerful supernatural avenger. That bond is intended to give the so-called "Spirit of Vengeance" a conscience and a better perspective on mortal affairs. The two are among many heroes who do battle with the Anti-Monitor during Crisis. (Oct. 16, 2019 IGN article, page 37 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

-- In the Batwoman crossover episode, Batwoman (RR) and Supergirl (MB) cross paths with Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy). However, as shown by the Kingdom Come-esque exoskeleton Conroy wears in a recent crossover still, this grizzled version of Bruce isn’t the same as the 80-year-old incarnation Conroy voiced on Batman Beyond. Conroy: “In this, I explore a lot of [the] dark corners of Bruce Wayne,... But they’re different than the ones I explored on Batman Beyond.” To play a live-action version of Bruce Wayne was more challenging than he expected. Conroy: “It threw me at first... I never approached this character from that physicalized aspect. I always just inhabited him with my voice. When you do that in a recording studio, it’s a very intimate experience and you’re sort of living in your own imagination. You do it with your eyes clothes and you’re in this other world, and you have Mark Hamill feeding you all the energy you [need], and the other actors (because we always recorded together in the booths). To actually be on the set, in the physical world, and to be walking as the character and inhabiting the character in three dimensions, it was a real transition for me. It did take a while to get used to, I have to admit. I was surprised because I know the character so well.” Thankfully, his main scene partners, Ruby Rose and Melissa Benoist, helped him overcome this initial obstacle. Conroy: “Everybody was so generous to work with. I can’t emphasize how enough how welcoming everyone was, especially Ruby. She is so open and giving. I just fell into her eyes at one point and we just connected on camera. It was wonderful." Also, per Conroy, it was “amazing” to work with MG too. Conroy: “I felt like I was working with old friends I’d known for years. There was just such trust there that I could open up to them on camera.” (Nov. 25, 2019 Entertainment Weekly article, page 43 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- Interviewer: "So you will be playing an older version of Bruce Wayne similar to what you did in Batman Beyond." Kevin Conroy: "Yeah. An old, cranky Bruce Wayne." Interviewer: "Are you upset that you're not going to be playing Batman, but only Bruce Wayne?" Kevin Conroy: (after long pause) "You had to put it that way, didn't you? ... I think it's a wonderful thing that they've asked me to do this job. I'm not going to look at the negative. It's a wonderful thing. I love doing this. No, I love playing old Bruce Wayne. Hollywood's a rough town, you know. You cross 40 and they start casting you as 80. I'm suddenly playing 80-year-olds. What happened? No, it's great. I love playing him." Interviewer: "My final question is, you are playing a character very similar to your character as Bruce Wayne on Batman Beyond." Kevin Conroy: "Yeah." Interviewer: "Is there any chance we may get a live-action Batman Beyond spinoff?" Kevin Conroy: "I have no idea [unintelligible words]... But I also don't know exactly what they're going to do with me in the crossover. All I know is that they're using me. I haven't seen a script. They don't let the actors see scripts until the very last minute." Interviewer: "Have you seen the concept for you as, like, an older Bruce Wayne?" Kevin Conroy: "No. No." (Interviewer then said that he was referring to a fan-made concept art, and Kevin said that he'd seen that.) Kevin Conroy: "But no, they haven't told me anything about what I'm going to do in this. So I'm just, you know, putting my faith in them."

Um, I'm finally doing it on camera, which I'm very excited about." (Oct 3, 2019 tweet & video of The Big Reviewski podcast interview with Kevin Conroy, page 34 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On what he can say about his version of Bruce Wayne, Kevin Conroy: "In Mask of the Phantasm, Bruce falls in love with Andrea Beaumont, and he discovers that's what life's really about. He tries to get out of his vow to his parents and he can't. His fate pulls him back and he realizes he can't escape his fate, so he's doomed not to know love. This Bruce in 'Crisis' is the result of 30 years of living that way. It's 30 years of giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and never having any love to replenish his soul and this is where we find him in this version. He's a very bruised individual." (Dec. 5, 2019 TVInsider article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On the reason for the exoskeleton suit, Kevin Conroy: "Yeah, and it's the result of so many battles. His body has literally fallen apart. In his amazing way, he's such a MacGyver in terms of creating these incredible tools in his workshop that he has created this amazing suit that supports his body because his body is so broken at that point. That suit is a great metaphor for what I think of him spiritually and emotionally where he is. He's given to the point where he can't even stand up anymore without the help of this mechanical contraption, so think of what he's like emotionally at that point." (Dec. 5, 2019 TVInsider article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On how his character might serve as a cautionary tale or role model to the Arrowverse heroes, Kevin Conroy: "The role model is to never stop giving, to give and give and give and give and give and never stop fighting, never ever give up. The cautionary side of it is to always be able to replenish your soul somehow. Because if you just give and give and give constantly throughout your life and nothing is ever filling your soul again, you're going to end up empty and bitter and angry. The cautionary tale is to allow yourself to be loved, which is not an easy thing to do. If you open yourself up to love, you're also making yourself very vulnerable, open yourself up to pain, to hurt, to being heartbroken. There's nothing more horrible than having your heartbroken [except] having a life where you never loved or never had the opportunity to have your heart broken. That's the Bruce we meet in this. He's someone who's never had the opportunity." (Dec. 5, 2019 TVInsider article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On which character is most similar to Bruce in terms of the way he looks at the world, Kevin Conroy: "I can't really say without giving away a lot about the character, because he's in a pretty dark place at this point."

-- On his character relating the most to Kate/Batwoman (RR), Kevin Conroy: "She touches his heart." (Dec. 5, 2019 TVInsider article, page 45 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)
-- On whether there are any Easter eggs in his Crisis appearance, Kevin Conroy: "No, but there are Easter eggs to other iterations of Batman or other stories from Batman. Because I noticed that I slightly altered a line during a recording, very slightly, I said 'and' instead of 'but' or something like that, very minor, and they stopped and the script person came over and said, 'No, it has to be exactly like this because this is a reference to this story...'  A lot of the lines are very specific references the audience might get a kick out of."

-- From Oct. 19, 2019 papp blog article on Flash crossover filming: "After that, the crew moved outside to film on a rooftop less than a mile from there at a different studio. In that scene, I got my first look at Ashley Scott & her stunt double up there doing a scene as Huntress. The weather at that point was really damp, and a bit windy, so you really have to give it up to them for having to stand on a surely uneven surface, in bad conditions & do a scene where they run at something or someone over & over again. I had seen Ashley show up to work for the day with blonde hair, so seeing her transformation into Huntress was quite something. I managed to get Ashley to sign when she showed up for work that day, then at the end of the day got a photo with her, and you can see some interesting jewelry in the photo around her neck that I only got a partial view of when she was up there on the rooftop, its a pendant that her character used to wear on the Birds Of Prey tv series. It had been reported she intended to bring this piece with her to have the wardrobe team implement it into her outfit.... and it seems they did."

1989 Film Batman's Alexander Knox (Robert Wuhl)
-- From Oct. 12, 2019 papp blog article on Supergirl crossover filming: "A bit later, they did a stunt, and while they were prepping to do that stunt, on a different part of the area, they did a small quick scene with Robert Wuhl reading a newspaper, and he looks up into the sky. This scene takes place on Earth 89, and if you are confused by why that is, you obviously did not watch the 1989 Batman movie. Robert plays Alexander Knox, a reporter in that movie. I unfortunately was too exhausted to wait out that scene, but I did see them rehearsing it with a stand in sitting on the bench in his place. But it looked like they might be awhile till they were filming it, so I called it a night." (canadagraphs tweet & blog article, page 36 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

1966 TV Batman's Robin AKA Earth-66 Burt Ward (Burt Ward)
-- Burt Ward, who portrayed Robin in the 1960s Batman tv series, will appear in the COIE crossover. It's unclear if he will be portraying an older Robin, or perhaps someone who'd taken over the mantle of Batman, or a new iteration of his characters entirely. It's also possible he's just a bit of nostalgia stunt casting and he'll be taking on an entirely new role.

-- On how they got Burt Ward to appear in the COIE crossover, MG: "We assembled a writers room with all of the showrunners of the five shows... We broke out the story, obviously, but we also made a list. What's the cool stuff we want to see? Burt was at the top of the list. ... Here's the thing, [Joseph Patrick] Finn, who's the line producer of The Flash but was also the original line producer on Arrow, he always had a saying, 'If you don't ask, you don't get,' ... Under that heading, we're like, 'You know what? We don't know if Burt is up for it. We don't know if he's available or interested. But if you don't ask, you don't get.'" To their surprise, that was all it took for Ward to agree to appear in the crossover.  MG: "We were thrilled, beyond thrilled. It's so exciting... We're just so happy."

-- From Oct. 12, 2019 papp blog article on Supergirl crossover filming: "The original Robin from the Batman TV show in the 1960s. Burt Ward was on set. He was decked out in Robin colours, and I am sure a lot of people want to theorize that hes a retired Robin living the good life walking Ace the Bathound. But I found out, his character name is literally 'Burt Ward'. He is on Earth 66 (the same year the series debuted... this will be a recurring theme I suspect as we already know 90s Flash came from Earth 90.... and another easter egg in the next scene descriptions below.). He looks up in the sky while walking a dog (no name for the dog was heard), and blurts out 'Holy crimson skies....' (there was more, but the person I got the details from didnt hear it all)... and that was it. Burt was done for the day, and possibly the series."

Also, first sign of Bruce Wayne in town, and some cast posted teasers/spoilers." From papp's blog: "THIS BLOG POST IS FOR A 'ARROW' SEASON 8 EPISODE 08, AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON, AND THE CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS CROSS OVER EVENT. ... This week, I finally got to a cross over set of my own. Unfortunately, because of the area they were filming in, it was a nearly impossible place to see any of what was going on. Arrow was on location in Burnaby's Central Park for a scene in the park with Supergirl lead Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, and Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor. Of course, the last any Supergirl fans saw of Lex, he was laying dead in a chair before The Monitor comes in, sees him and waves his hands. Has Supergirl/Kara seen Lex since? ... With Arrow being 1 of the last episodes in the major event, it is hard to believe this is the 1st time Kara sees Lex since last season. But her reaction in the park, the only detail I CAN give you, since she says it so loudly is 'what are you doing here?' ... I know that The Flash starts their crossover this week, in fact, if my details are right, it starts today. The only show I do not know about is Legends, but I feel they too are on it, meaning all 5 shows are now working on COIE. ... On Sunday, I took a rare chance to see if I could meet any of the people coming in for it. I was definitely rewarded for my efforts. Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in almost everything, came in to do his role in Crisis as an older Bruce Wayne. A bit later, the aforementioned Jon Cryer arrived. I also saw Katherine McNamara & David Ramsey from Arrow, and Danielle Panabaker from The Flash come in." (canadagraphs tweet & blog, page 33 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

From blog article: "THIS BLOG POST IS FOR A 'SUPERGIRL' SEASON 8 EPISODE 09, AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON, AND THE CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS CROSS OVER EVENT. ... Yesterday morning, they were shooting a Supergirl portion of the cross over at David Lam Park in downtown Vancouver. ... The early scenes saw all Supergirl cast on set. First up was a scene with 100s of extras scattered around a courtyard, with some down below in a park walking around too. The scene has the extras moving towards an area to board a 'spaceship' as a message is said by someone on a megaphone telling the calm public 'No need to panic, Supergirl and Superman are working hard to save this planet'. So it seems by this point in Crisis, things have got to the point that worlds are being evacuated.... but to where? The crowd was very calm, then suddenly, an earthquake hits, and panic sets in. Nicole Maines as Dreamer and Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen were in the middle of the panic, Kelly was trying to escort the public towards the way to go, and Dreamer was trying to contact someone through an earpiece. ... A little while later, they added Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers and Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor to the scene with Dreamer and Kelly. The scene seemed to be a continuation of the earthquake scene, and it has Alex and Dreamer seemingly staring towards some type of threat, while Kelly was helping people, and Lena was telling people to keep calm and leave in an orderly fashion. ... A bit later, they did a scene with Azie Tesfai, and her double, protecting a person with Cody Laudan (the stunt double for The Flash.... but was he being Barry, or just a random person?), but the big take away was Kelly Olsen, the sister of James Olsen, who was known as the Guardian, is seen using Guardians shield to protect the citizen. Is Supergirl making Kelly a new Guardian? While I was able to get photos of the Kelly stunt double with the shield, the couple takes they did with Azie holding it were inconveniently blocked by a large crane they were using for the earlier shots. So I never got a good one of her with it. ... After that scene was wrapped, the cast met fans out on the street before leaving for the day. The crew went on lunch break, and it was a long 2+ hour wait till they started filming for a night scene below. ... In the night scene they had, the Supergirl crew were working with a couple non-Supergirl cast, and the first scene I had encountered for Crisis On Infinite Earths where shows casts actually were sharing scenes. ... The Flash star Grant Gustin, and his double Cody Laudan as The Flash did a scene with Arrow recurring star Audrey Marie Anderson as not Lyla Michaels this time, but Harbinger in her first public shoot as the pivotal COIE character. ... In the early part of the evening, they had Grant as The Flash doing a scene where he speeds into a spot on a street, stops and tries to talk to Cisco over his coms. He seemingly cant get a hold of him, so he then asks for Iris, again with seemingly no reply, before a bright light in front of him makes him shield his eyes with his arm till the light fades down. He then stares towards the place that light came from. Later on, they had Cody take Grants place, and brought in Audrey. They then shot the scene from the Harbinger side. For the first take, there was a pretty decent angle to watch, but then they got really defensive, and went out of their way to try and cover it up, which was odd coming from a show that is generally respectful of photographers & fans watching, and even odder when they already dropped a promo of the suit, and shot the scene in public for a couple takes already. So I didn't get too many shots of Audrey in the suit before it was blocked off." (candagraphs tweet & blog article, page 34 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

But what does it all mean? There is some pretty spoilery stuff in there. #Spoilers." From papp blog: "Yesterday, they were shooting a DC's Legends Of Tomorrow portion of the cross over at couple of businesses & at Victory Square in downtown Vancouver. ... In the early part of the day, they were shooting in a business known as 'The Paper Hound' which is a small independent bookstore. I did not get to see what the scene entailed from the inside, but I know Dominic Purcell was around for it, and they did a scene that had people running on the outside of the building. ... After that scene, they moved a couple doors down to a frequently used location by the film industry, The Permanent.... ... On this day, I dont know what it was supposed to be standing in for, but there seemed to be 3 notable people in the scene. Grant Gustin was there as The Flash, Caity Lotz was there as White Canary, and an unknown man was there dressed in a suit, with a red cape. Maybe a magician? Whatever was going on, it seemed to end with White Canary punching out the mystery man. After they wrapped, I actually saw that there were two mystery men, not sure if 1 was a stunt double for the other, or if there was 2 of these characters in the scene. ... After that, the crew went to lunch & prepped the area down the street for their night time exterior scene at Victory Square ... After the lunch break, the crew and cast arrived at Victory Square to shoot a night scene.... ... In the night scene, we had Grant as Barry Allen and Caity as Sara Lance sitting on the stairs talking. It was clear that it was one of those 'we've been through some stuff, and it might get tougher' talks. I dont know who was needing the talk more, but they both had on their solemn faces at times.... ... As their conversation was winding down (it really was a loooooooong talking scene) something startles the two super heroes, and they turn around and attack whatever it is.... but soon they settle down, and start talking to the mystery person. The ONLY part of the conversation I could make out was Sara saying 'yeah John, you're a little late, already happened'.... The sides being read out by the other character were done by a crew member as the actor in that spot was not actually there, and the actors on set needed verbal cues to let them know when to deliver their lines. ... As you will see in the 1 shot, there was a large massive lighting balloon in the air that was coloured light blue. I joked at the time to those on the set that it was going to be Beebo. But really, it is just there to light the scene a specific way.... but will the blue lighting tone they were going for mean something specific? Why would they not just go with the natural tone of the area? ... After the pair did their scenes, Grant wrapped for the night, and they did a quick 5-8 minutes of getting solo Sara talking scenes before wrapping all together for the night."

From blog article: "On this day, they were filming Legends Of Tomorrow portion of the cross over in North Vancouver near Lonsdale Quay at a location recently used by Supergirl. ... Grant Gustin as The Flash, Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, Reina Hardesty as Joss Mardon, aka - Weather Witch and 1 unknown actor were on set for the scenes shot for this day of shooting. Police cars for National City were on set, so I think its fair to think this is a scene in National City, evne though its in the Legends part of the cross over. ... In the early part of the day, a scene was done with Weather Witch holding a large staff. She made a few motions like she was using it in a battle. But I had no more context than seeing her swinging it around a bit to know what she was doing with it. No other actors seemed to be in the scene with her. ... A little while later Grant & Melissa showed up to shoot a couple scenes. First up, a scene where The Flash zips in while Supergirl seems to be engaging with Weather Witch, then the Weather Witch is seemingly pushed out of the area as The Flash zips in. Did he save Kara? Or was it just coincidence that Joss leaves as The Flash arrives? ... As the duo were preparing to shoot their scenes, I saw the stunt double for Melissa there, rocking a black Superman sweater. For a moment, I thought it was a suit, and thought "oh boy, what a reveal", then I saw it said "season 4" on the sleeve and my excitement level dropped..... still a cool sweater though. ... A bit later the duo were doing a scene that still has me baffled, for the most part. To be honest, I am curious if the writers were just taking a jab at me, and people like me.... and truthfully, I'm okay if they were. It was amusing. ... The Flash and Supergirl are standing together, seemingly with no imminent threat around. They turn around 1 way, before a couple moments later, turning back the other way. When they turn back around, an older man is standing there, and asks The Flash for his autograph. Yes, you heard me right. They had The Flash sign an item over, and over, and over, and over again, while not one take was done of Supergirl being asked to sign it, even though she seems to be pictured in the photo. ... After they finished that scene, most of the cast & crew left.... as did I. There might have still been more to film there that day, but I had something else I had to get to unfortunately, so the timing of the break in filming worked out wonderfully for me."

Plus some insight on that major spoiler I dropped on twitter. #SPOILERS EVERYWHERE in this post. ... #Lucifer #Batwoman #Batman #Arrowverse." From blog article: "On this day, Supergirl was shooting a variety of scenes in downtown Vancouver, that also included a short scene for Legends Of Tomorrow's episode that was being piggybacked off their unit to save time & $$. ... At 1 location, there were scenes inside the Butcher & Bullock Pub. They shot scenes in there for Supergirl AND Legends. Essentially with the same cast for all of it with 1 slight change between the two shows scenes. The pub was on Earth 1, and in Star City.... but I didnt catch if it had a name. ... In the opening scene they shot, Caity Lotz as Sara Lance and Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer (not Superman) were sitting in a pub playing trivia when Audrey Marie Anderson comes in as Harbinger and recruits them for Crisis. This scene was for the Supergirl episode. ... The later scene had Ray & Sara still there, but this time David Harewood as J'onn J'onnz was there with the pair, still in the same pub, just with J'onn there now instead of Harbinger. This scene seems like its after Crisis has ended, and maybe the pair were put back where they were found? But why is J'onn there now? This scene was for the Legends Of Tomorrow episode. ... Over at the other set, which was much more public. The early scene, which I missed because I was busy trying to cover off that other location, plus I had to leave for half an hour to cover a non-filming related thing, had a scene I sorely am disappointed to have missed. I saw the rehearsals for the scene, but the on screen actor was not there for it yet, just a stand in, with a large dog. Thankfully local set watcher TheMysciraBound caught the scene, and was generous enough to allow use of some of her photos below. ... The original Robin from the Batman TV show in the 1960s. Burt Ward was on set. He was decked out in Robin colours, and I am sure a lot of people want to theorize that hes a retired Robin living the good life walking Ace the Bathound. But I found out, his character name is literally 'Burt Ward'. He is on Earth 66 (the same year the series debuted... this will be a recurring theme I suspect as we already know 90s Flash came from Earth 90.... and another easter egg in the next scene descriptions below.). He looks up in the sky while walking a dog (no name for the dog was heard), and blurts out 'Holy crimson skies....' (there was more, but the person I got the details from didnt hear it all)... and that was it. Burt was done for the day, and possibly the series. ... One other detail I can confirm about this scene. It will be in the first few minutes of the episode, as they show things going on with the different earths. ... A scene was then done out in the middle of the street at Oceanic Plaza (a very busy & popular filming location) that consisted of Ruby Rose as Batwoman fighting members of a gang in bunny masks. At some point she gets the upper hand, she has a gun type decide pointed at the gang as they are running around being a menace. We then find all the bunny guys on the ground motionless as she moves in towards 1 of them, a bright light appears and Harbinger is there. She tells Batwoman she is needed for the Crisis, and BW chalks her up to just another crazy and throws some batarangs at her, which do absolutely nothing. A few of the Harbinger shots at the beginning come from an anonymous fan who allowed me to use their photos. They had a much better vantage point than I found, so I am grateful for their efforts. ... A bit later, they did a stunt, and while they were prepping to do that stunt, on a different part of the area, they did a small quick scene with Robert Wuhl reading a newspaper, and he looks up into the sky. This scene takes place on Earth 89, and if you are confused by why that is, you obviously did not watch the 1989 Batman movie. Robert plays Alexander Knox, a reporter in that movie. I unfortunately was too exhausted to wait out that scene, but I did see them rehearsing it with a stand in sitting on the bench in his place. But it looked like they might be awhile till they were filming it, so I called it a night. ... Lastly, a little bonus. I am sure some fans want me to talk about the scoop I broke that honestly, crippled my twitter mentions. I'm aware theres a rabid fandom for this show & character, but really, I did not expect anywhere near this impact. ... So, by sheer fluke I stumbled across The Flash filming at a studio that Arrow uses. While much of the crew there were terrific, one particular driver there decided they were going to flash their high beams right at me and a crew member when the cast was leaving theer trailers to get into the vehicle as a way of trying to prevent me from seeing them. ... Well joke was on them, because I had actually seen the scene shot in part a couple takes inside the alley way they have at the studio. In it, I saw Matt Ryan as John Constantine, and Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak there with of all peopel Tom Ellis dressed as Lucifer Morningstar. If you are an Arrowverse fan unfamiliar with Lucifer Morningstar, he is a character from a DC Vertigo property named 'Lucifer'. I also saw David Ramsey at the set, but from the angle I was at, I never actually saw him IN the scene. But there was literally no other reasons he would have been there, so I have to believe he was in the scene from an angle I could not see from the 2/3 of a city block away angle I had. All I know of the scene is, they walk out of a building that has a sign above it that says 'hotel.' I am sure some want photos. But its a private business, and shooting a scene in there would be at the least, a small problem morally, and depending what argument they wanted to go with, legally... So all I can do is report on it. ONLY reason I reported on it at all, is because of that 1 driver. I was completely willing to let that this slide by since I had no photos of it, but he tried to be a jerk on purpose, so, there it is."

On the second day, all the same cast as the first day were there shooting, except LaMonica Garrett. ... This time, the day started off with the cast filming in the remnants of the old Plaza Of Nations amphitheatre, which now is just an empty pit. ... The scenes they shot seemed to have the cast all showing up to a spot amongst the rubble, as the Green Arrow and Mia Smoak are the last two to arrive, the group has a small chat, before the Supes fly off, and a group of 4 including Batwoman, The Green Arrow, The ATOM & Mia walk off past a burning car. ... Eventually, the cast & crew moved back inside Edgewater to continue on shooting stuff from the scenes from the day prior. I called it a day at that time, and headed home. ...

From blog article: "The Flash was filming in an area in North Burnaby they have used a few times in the past. One of the many smaller, unknown studios in the lower mainland. ... At the start of the day, they did scenes inside the studio with Tom Cavanagh on set dressed as the New Wells. Since he wasnt in Pariah wardrobe, I'm curious if Pariah & Wells are separate characters. I know a few speculated Wells was Pariah, but this shows that by episode 3 of the cross over, the 'New Wells' is still around. After he wrapped his scene, he came over and signed a pile of autographs for me & a family that was there. I had the new Pariah photo, and he said he didnt have one yet, so I gave him one of the two I had. ... After that, the crew moved outside to film on a rooftop less than a mile from there at a different studio. In that scene, I got my first look at Ashley Scott & her stunt double up there doing a scene as Huntress. The weather at that point was really damp, and a bit windy, so you really have to give it up to them for having to stand on a surely uneven surface, in bad conditions & do a scene where they run at something or someone over & over again. I had seen Ashley show up to work for the day with blonde hair, so seeing her transformation into Huntress was quite something. I managed to get Ashley to sign when she showed up for work that day, then at the end of the day got a photo with her, and you can see some interesting jewelry in the photo around her neck that I only got a partial view of when she was up there on the rooftop, its a pendant that her character used to wear on the Birds Of Prey tv series. It had been reported she intended to bring this piece with her to have the wardrobe team implement it into her outfit.... and it seems they did. ... After they wrapped on that rooftop they went back to the other studio to do more indoor scenes. This time with John Wesley Shipp. When I saw him he was not in wardrobe yet, but the wording he used, it sounded like he was about to dress up as 90s Flash... but perhaps it was as Jay Garrick?. After I got him to sign on the way to set, I called it a day, as I was dead tired by that point." (canadagraphs tweet & blog article, page 37 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

Unknown episode - Stephen Amell & Grant Gustin in Surrey. #LegendsOfTomorrow with Caity Lotz in Gastown ... #Arrow #TheFlash #COIE #Arrowverse." From blog article: "CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS - Assorted shoots - October 21 - Surrey and downtown Vancouver ... THIS BLOG POST IS FOR 2 SETS, AN 'UNKNOWN EPISODE' SET AND A 'LEGENDS OF TOMORROW' SEASON 5 EPISODE 08, AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON, AND THE CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS CROSS OVER EVENT. ... My day started off heading out to Surrey for a shoot I had just heard about the night before. I rarely go out to Surrey, so this was a bit of a learning experience unfortunately. The night before I had been told it was for Supergirl. Yet when I got there, I found no sign it was for them. So I am unsure for which episode it was for, as it was not there too long. ... I finally saw a scene shot, and it was Stephen Amell dressed as the Green Arrow doing a scene where he seems to walk towards the middle of the courtyard from the library that was there. The angle I had for that was not good, so I went looking for a different one, and eventually found one..... just in time for them to have wrapped the 2 or 3 takes they did of that very short scene. ... A bit later, they were doing a different portion of the scene, and again, I wasnt sure exactly where they were shooting till near the end. I kept seeing background people running, but no actors around. my problem was I was looking near where Stephen had been earlier and where the background people were now running from thinking it was going to be more or less near there, but it wasnt. They had moved the primary part of it down to where I THOUGHT they were shooting at the start of the day, near the maze of lights and skrims.  By the time I found a position for it, I instantly saw the scene had Grant Gustin as The Flash zipping in and having a talk with the Green Arrow. Unfortunately Stephen was off screen, so he wasnt in full GA gear by then. They did that scene for a bit, then wrapped. That was it. ... I am not sure if I missed any earlier parts, but there was two Central City Cabs parked at the set, but were never used during the time I was there. Perhaps they squeezed in a quick scene in the early part of the morning before I got there..... maybe I missed it on 45 minute tour of Surrey? ... After finally getting back to downtown Vancouver, I got a ride from 1 of my buddies over to the location for the Legends Of Tomorrow shoot. It was a massive huge battle scene. I will have more on that in a later blog post, as it was a scene that went on for multiple days. ... There was first a scene that had Caity Lotz as Sara Lance doing a scene where she is walking out of an alley. She at times seemed to be holding her head and maybe disoriented from something. She walks out into the middle of a street before 1 car comes to a screeching halt right near her, and another does the same before zipping around her & the stopped car. They also had a Star City Cab there, which they quite literally used for only 1 take of this scene. Quite random. ... After that scene wrapped, I stumbled upon the crew setting up for a different scene just 200 feet up the street that was NOT known by anyone. Unfortunately I was exhausted & the rain had not let up still, so I only waited for a little while. The only think I do know about the scene is Audrey Marie Anderson was in the scene. But unfortunately I didnt have my camera ready when she showed up." (canadagraphs tweet & blog article, page 38 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

From blog article: "CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS - Legends Of Tomorrow - October 21 and 23 - downtown Vancouver ... On this 2 day shoot over 3 days, the crew of Legends Of Tomorrow shot scenes with a massive cast of stunt people on one day, and cast another in a parking lot next to an area known as CRAB Park. You may recognize it also as the place where the original Legends team first meet the Waverider.... so fitting a new group of superheroes would be there for 1 of the most epic battles in Arrowverse history on the Legends portion of the cross over. ... The first day had the crew shooting scenes with a variety of stunt actors. The scenes they shot there consisted of the stunts team in a battle sequence with the main big bad of Crisis, The Anti-Monitor. This was the first in person look anyone had of the Anti-Monitor on set. In the battle was The Flash, Superman, Supergirl, White Canary, Black Canary, Spartan, Batwoman, Alex Danvers, Dreamer, and Wild Dog facing off against the Anti-Monitor. ... At various points they did takes where the team would rush at their nemesis, before eventually being thwarted with a punch to the ground by the Anti-Monitor. ... Before and after these scenes, I did do a couple other sets. One with Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin doing a scene for an unknown portion of the cross over, and another after this with Caity Lotz doing a scene for the Legends part, and you can find that post HERE. ... For the second day, the crew was working with the actors who do the speaking portions of the characters, and a few stunts people. ... On set for day 2 - Grant Gustin as The Flash - Melissa Benoist as  Supergirl - Tyler Hoechlin as  Superman - Caity Lotz as White Canary - David Ramsey as Spartan - David Harewood as Martian Manhunter - Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers - Nicole Maines as Dreamer ... Also on set was Brandon Routh, but I never saw him working. I only saw him when he left, and heard his name when they wrapped him. There was a stand in for him early in the day for 'ATOM', but never saw him in any of the takes of the scene from any angle & I was at several. ... Others who may have been on set, but their doubles were also seen taking on some of the scenes they shot, so I am unsure which scenes, if any they did. ... - LaMonica Garrett as The Anti-Monitor. - Ruby Rose as Batwoman - Rick Gonzalez as Wild Dog - Juliana Harkavy as Black Canary ... They were still doing the same scene as the other day, with the superhero gang still taking on the Anti-Monitor. But this time with simulated reactions to actions, and dialogue. ... At one point, the only portion of dialogue I could sort of hear throughout the day, White Canary moves closer to the Anti Monitor with the rest of the team behind her, and says something to the Anti-Monitor that ends with her muttering 'For Oliver', then the whole team in unison behind her chant 'For Oliver' before commencing their all out attack. ... After this scene wrapped, almost 2 hours past when they were supposed to, the crew moved to Ironworks to do more interior scenes. But I was too wiped out by the day at the parking lot to follow up on it.... plus I knew I had to be up early the next day for the FINAL Crisis set, which will be in my next blog post in a couple days."

From blog article: "CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS - Legends Of Tomorrow - October 24 - downtown Vancouver - The Final Location Shoot ... On this day, the crew for Legends Of Tomorrow were in an area of Coal Harbour that should be familiar to Arrowverse fans, as it was the same block that Earth 90s Flash, The Flash, Supergirl & Green Arrow faced off with The Monitor in Elseworlds. ... This time, they shot a couple different scenes here. The first one had Grant Gustin as The Flash, Brandon Routh as The ATOM, and Melissa Benoist as Supergirl on set. They were shooting a scene where the trio were in the middle of the street as civilians scramble to get out of there. Flash & Supergirl are facing what I assume is some type of problem, while The ATOM seems more excited to just take a selfie of himself and his friends. The Flash gives him the 'are you kidding?' look, and eventually ATOM turns around to face the situation the other two were looking at. ... After a few moments of banter, the team seems to split up. Flash runs forward, while Supergirl simulates flying off, and The ATOM seems to just disappear (wondering if he went into super small size) off to the side of where the camera was. ... The license plates had 'Land Of Mist' plates, which are used for Starling City usually. So it seems like this scene was set there. ... A bit later, the trio moved down the street. They were joined this time by Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory/Heatwave for a scene. ... For this scene, an observation I made. Did Micks gun always look like a really fancy glue gun, or am I mistaken?? I thought it looked different. ... The scene seemed to have Heatwave in the middle of the street pointing his glue.... err heat gun at something/someone above him. Off to his right The Flash was busy in a tug of war with something (I mean in reality it was a crew member, but I doubt thats what its supposed actually be). Eventually the pair freeze for a moment while ATOM & Supergirl come in and act like they just zipped in. They then help The Flash in his tug of war, and Heatwave grabs on the to back end. Eventually they seem to win the tug of war, sending The Flash falling backwards with Supergirl catching him. ... After they did the scene, I got a chance to have my last encounter with Brandon. He came over to sign a couple autographs for me, and I told him how much again I was disappointed he was leaving, and he said he was too. I wished him and Courtney luck on whatever they do next... and that was the last I would see of him on an Arrowverse set possibly. It was also the last I would see of a Crisis set. I planned to go back for a night scene they did, but they managed to set it up, and film it in less than half an hour, so I got there less than 10 minutes after it wrapped.... but I do know it was a scene of Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane walking down the street, talking on a phone. ... With that, the official wrap on Crisis On Infinite Earths happened. There may be re-shoots of a scene, or pick up scenes (scenes they originally didnt decide to shoot... but after seeing what they had, decided they might need it). But officially, the 5 episode cross over has completed its principle photography on it all." (canadagraphs tweet, page 39 of Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 thread in LoT forum)

With Crisis On Infinite Earths upon the horizon we're taking a moment to...

(wait for it)

THANK YOU!

Since this thread's inception back when Elseworlds was announced you guys have been awesome. We've had a few hiccups along the way, true, but you've done beautifully at maintaining civil discourse between fandoms/shows. You have also done an overall wonderful job of keeping the discussion focused on first Elseworlds and now Crisis On Infinite Earths.

This thread, as a result, has been more of this:

And it's all because of all of you.

Crisis on Infinite Earths Is Here: How the Crossover Is Changing the Entire Arrowverse
by LAUREN PIESTER | Fri., Dec. 6, 2019 
https://www.eonline.com/news/1100471/crisis-on-infinite-earths-is-here-how-the-crossover-is-changing-the-entire-arrowverse 

Quote

"For us, it really resets a lot of what's happening on Supergirl, the second half. That's another thing that was challenging about this crossover that's different from the others is that it's a really kind of huge event and impacts everything going on on the show, so it's fun to see what happens," said showrunner Robert Rovner.
*  *  *  
"We have some fallout on Batwoman. It's a little tricky because our characters aren't yet exposed to this notion of multiple universes and superheroes with powers and stuff, so there's a fine line, but I think it will have a really kind of shocking resonance," said showrunner Caroline Dries.
*  *  *
"During the Crisis, Barry will do something that is very significant that will have ramifications for the remainder of season six of Flash," said executive producer Marc Guggenheim.
*  *  *
"It changes literally everything on Arrow," said showrunner Beth Schwartz, and Kat McNamara echoed that. "It really does change everything. It's all about sacrifice, and all about everything that has been built over the last eight years, and this whole universe that started with Oliver on the island…they'll come to a head and change forever in a lot of ways."
*  *  *
"As our prequel, it sets up our season, both mythology and Sara Lance's trajectory coming out of it…this hits her pretty hard in a good way," said showrunner Keto Shimizu.
*  *  *
Mia's introduction to Sara is particularly important, since Sara is such a huge part of Oliver's past. "She and Mia are very similar people in that they both are very strong-willed and they both will not hesitate to speak up and fight for what they believe is right, and for what they believe is the right thing to do, no matter who tries to stand in their way." They work together in a "unique way," McNamara says.
*  *  *
Mia Smoak hasn't been a part of the crossover before, so this will be a lot to take in. "She grew up in the woods with Nyssa Al'Ghul, and suddenly she's on a spaceship," McNamara says. "Confronted with superheroes and aliens…she's trying to grasp some sort of logic and understanding in all of this, while dealing with one of the most traumatic experiences of her life." Having dad Oliver there definitely helps, at least.
*  *  *
Mia's still coming to terms with Oliver's fate, but at least she now realizes she can forgive him and just keep going. "There's a potential that it could all be ripped away from her very quickly and far too soon," Kat McNamara told us. "I think she understands that there's not much she can do, but she's not gonna go down without a fight."

But when they called me and they asked me - it's not like they call you and ask you. But they called and said, 'We have this idea, what do you think?' And the short version is, when I heard it, the first thing I said was, 'Sh-t!' And the producer who's talking to me goes, 'You alright?' And I said, 'Yeah, give me a second.' He's like, 'You still there?' 'Yeah, just give me a f-ckin' second!' And he goes, 'Is everything alright?' 'Yeah, I'm trying to figure out a reason not to do this.' And he goes, 'Why?' 'Because it's a really good idea! And I think anybody who likes Smallville and anybody who likes Clark, they're gonna like this idea.' And he goes, 'Okay, so you'll do it.' I go, 'No, give me another second. I'm trying to figure out a reason not to do it.' And I couldn't come up with one, so we ended up doing it. And it was great being there with Erica, and we were at the Kent Farm, as you'll see. And it's a really cool - I really like what we did. I like the way it turned out. And I think, if you like any of the shows, especially Smallville, you're gonna - it really pays tribute to you guys as fans, what we do. So I hope you like it."

Here's a handy bulletpoint primer, if you haven't been watching all 5 shows...

33 "Arrow," "The Flash," "Supergirl," "Batwoman," And "Legends Of Tomorrow" Details You Need To Know Before The Crossover
Nora Dominick   December 6, 2019
https://www.buzzfeed.com/noradominick/arrowverse-details-remember-before-crisis-on-infinite-earths 

1. First, the multiverse exists in the Arrowverse, which basically means that there isn't just one Earth, but actually hundreds.

2. Green Arrow, The Flash, Batwoman, and the Legends of Tomorrow teams exist on Earth-1, while Supergirl and Superman are on Earth-38.

3. In The Flash pilot episode, we saw a newspaper article from 2024 detailing The Flash's disappearance in a mysterious crisis.

4. In the 2018 crossover "Elseworlds," The Monitor aka Mar Novu first appeared when he gave the Book of Destiny to John Deegan, who rewrote reality.

5. In "Elseworlds," Oliver met with The Monitor and made a deal in order to save Barry and Kara from dying.

6. Also in "Elseworlds," we were introduced to Kate Kane aka Batwoman for the first time.

7. In the final moments of "Elseworlds," one of John Deegan's cellmates revealed that the universe will never be the same — in the comics, Roger Hayden aka Psycho-Pirate played a significant role in "Crisis on Infinite Earths."

8. In the Arrow Season 7 finale, The Monitor returned to cash in on the favor Oliver owed him.

9. The Monitor has seen the future and Oliver will die during "Crisis," and in order to protect Felicity and their daughter Mia, Oliver must leave them behind.

10. Also, during the Arrow Season 7 finale, in 2040, Felicity reunited with The Monitor and was presumably taken to see some version of Oliver — we're still unclear on what this means.

11. In The Flash Season 5 finale, the events from the newspaper article changed from 2024 to 2019 — Barry and Iris' daughter from the future ended up changing the timeline.

12. Also, the newspaper article now mentions Batwoman, a recent addition to the DCTV universe.

13. In the Supergirl Season 4 finale, The Monitor brought J'onn J'onzz's brother to Earth and resurrected Lex Luthor after he was killed.

14. In the Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 finale, The Monitor appeared in the crowd when the Legends were performing in a superhero show.

15. Now, in the current season of The Flash, Barry and Iris learned that the date Barry disappears on has been moved up to December 2019, and he will ultimately die.

16. In Arrow, Oliver's first task after going with The Monitor was to travel to Earth-2, where he saw versions of Tommy, Moira, Malcolm, and Adrian.

17. Also, Earth-2 was eventually destroyed by the same wave of energy that will ultimately destroy every world if The Monitor and Oliver fail.

18. In The Flash, Barry went and saw Jay Garrick, so he could show him what exactly happens during the upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" — the only timeline where everyone survives is if The Flash dies.

19. Also in The Flash, Barry and Iris told the team of Barry's upcoming death and that it is inevitable.

20. In Arrow, Oliver reunited with Thea to try and figure out more about The Monitor's motivations.

21. Also, The Monitor transported Oliver and Felicity's children, Mia and William, and Diggle's son, Connor, to present day as part of his grand plan to stop "Crisis."

22. In The Flash, another Harrison Wells doppelgänger, Nash, appeared on Earth-1 and has been trying to track down The Monitor.

23. In Arrow, after The Monitor tried to get her to turn on Oliver, Laurel revealed to Diggle and Oliver that Lyla has secretly been working with The Monitor for a long time.

24. In The Flash, Barry was infected by Ramsey's metahuman cells because he learned that Ramsey's powers could possibly save him from dying during Crisis.

25. In Arrow, Laurel and Oliver were trapped in a time loop caused by The Monitor and Lyla, and they were forced to make peace with Quentin's death.

26. Also in Arrow, Oliver finally accepted the fact that he will be dying soon, and he can't change his destiny.

27. In Supergirl, we finally see where The Monitor has been keeping Lex Luthor, and that it's time for Lex to play a role in everything.

28. In The Flash, Team Flash rid Barry's system of Ramsey's cells and he returned to being himself.

29. Also in The Flash, Barry, Iris, and the team braced for the immediate impact of Crisis.

30. In Arrow, Oliver, Diggle, Mia, Lyla, and the rest of Team Arrow were sent to Lian Yu in order to build a weapon for The Monitor.

31. Also, Lyla revealed that The Monitor saved her years ago while she was stationed in Afghanistan — Lyla ultimately fulfills her purpose and becomes Harbinger.

32. In Arrow, Oliver said goodbye to Mia and the impending Crisis officially arrived.

33. And finally, during the latest episodes of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Batwoman, Nash Wells unleashed something, which will start the Crisis.

It's an Infinite number, Buzzfeed, hence the title. Aside from my nitpicking, that's a solid list of the important highlights that set up the crossover.

Fine I get her inclusion in that case, still dont get why she needs to be the narrator when actual characters known to tell and write stories in the "in universe" like Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Iris West, Kara Danvers are right there. It doesnt feel organic as Guggie likes to say. 

But I guess being organic goes out the window when it comes to his pet favorites. 

1. [/prohat]

I very much doubt this has anything to do with his pet favorites.

Comics/screenwriters working on IP projects frequently don't get to choose the characters. MG even clarifies that in this interview - he wanted to add a new character, and the suits said no. They then had "discussions" and he added Nyssa to the story. His story also features Wally West and the Ray.

Why these characters? Well, Ray is associated with a web cartoon that the CW would like you to stream now instead of reading what I'm writing here and which reportedly will be available on new streaming service HBO Max. Felicity Smoak, Wally West and Nyssa Al Ghul frequently trended on Twitter when they appeared on their respective shows.

I have no access to Amazon, Netflix or CW streaming data for these characters, but multiple YouTube videos with Felicity Smoak have 5 million or more views. The video of Wally West and Barry Allen racing has 11 million views. Nyssa Al Ghul doesn't score nearly as well, but YouTube data does show that 1.3 million users watched a scene including Oliver, Felicity and Nyssa from last season. 

Which is to say, the choice of what characters to include here almost certainly had nothing to do with MG's favorites and everything to do with what WB thought might sell more or help them launch HBO Max in 2020.

Thus why it may not feel organic. It isn't organic; it's market driven.

2. [/fanhat]

In comics, the narrators are just protagonists/viewpoint characters, not necessarily writers/journalists. The Arrowverse has done something similar, with Oliver's dreadful voiceover narrations in season one and now Kate Kane's narrations over on Batwoman. I'm guessing Felicity's narration will be something similar, just hopefully not as awful as Oliver's voiceovers. 

3. But speaking of the journalists - I'm really hoping we get some solid scenes between Iris West-Allen, Lois Lane and Kara Danvers, and at least some acknowledgement that they all ended up at the same job. 

  • Love 7

This person has posted correct spoilers for Arrow in the past - I think some other Arrowverse shows as well, but they delete their history. Some of this stuff lines up with the clips we've seen in the trailers. 

A mod over there removed the post so I'm going to remove it here just in case.
