The Flash Season 8 will unite heroes from Arrow, Supergirl, Black Lightning, and Legends of Tomorrow

[thelana]

A powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances and Barry (Grant Gustin), Iris (Candice Patton), and the rest of Team Flash are pushed to their limits in a desperate battle to save the world. But with time running out, and the fate of humanity at stake, Flash and his companions will also need to enlist the help of some old

Still not over the last crossover that ended with them retconning the entire Supergirl show essentially out of existence AND Oliver bringing everrrrybody back from the dead but Laurel Lance. (And I'll probably be mad about how they erased Superman's baby and making him a shitty person who just abandoned his traumatized cousin because he was "too busy" just to settle down and start a family the next year)

I haven’t watched these shows in a hot minute but what did they do with Supergirl?

Of course Laurel was left out. They had a boner for hating that character

A bunch of supergirl lore got retconned out of existence. Morgan edge is a completely different character on S&L this season, played by a different actor. They changed a bunch of (minor) things about her early years on earth and recast a few characters (Kenny, her dad). Lex is now a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and i guess a lot of Lena's character motivation in the early seasons changed because she didn't need to rehab the Luthor name. Anything related to Lex being evil in public is also gone. every Superman appearance is probably not canon anymore or happened differently. something about Andrea and Leviathan changed but i forgot everything about this plot both pre- and post-Crisis. I'm not sure Lynda Carter was ever president post-Crisis

I laughed out loud when I read that Mia was appearing but Laurel (and Dinah) were both left out. Laurel might as well been erased from the Arrowverse.

Very surprised that Brandon Routh was willing to come back for this.

[nathskywalker]

I was surprised to see that name on the list. But i'm excited because i love him. Legends hasn't really done it for me this season, partially because i miss Routh and partially because the alien plot really doesn't work for me.

It sucks superhero stuff always treated him so poorly. I wish dylan dog was better because i love the source material and it deserved a better treatment

[xdeedots]

I'm out of the loop. Why did he leave?

[professor_chaos]

They are ending him (probably killing him off now that he's gone dark) as Constantine after this season on LOT and making him a new character next season

[aimercat]

no, they are thinking about rebooting Constantine as a series.

[violue]

No, they are doing a new Constantine series, and while it's not connected to Arrowverse, it appears to be the reason the character will be retired from LOT.

I can’t believe these shows are still going

[t_snake]

The only show worth watching now is LoT. I gave up on flash a long time ago (and i almost never give up on a show) the others never even appealed to me.

[nathskywalker]

The current season of the flash was bizarrely bad. Barry and iris are somehow the parents of a bunch of forces of nature, one of which is played by the actor who plays Barry's mom and it is so awkward that they keep referring to this grown woman who looks like Barry's mom as their child. The family dynamics are already weird enough, there was no need for that!

what?!
