The DC Crossover

I saw the latest DC Arrow-verse Crossover (on the CW streaming app, available on the Roku), which unites the heroes of Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl into one big event. Although I was surprised to see that the Legends of Tomorrow weren't involved this time, in a way it made sense, because this year's crossover was a more stripped-down affair that involved Oliver Queen and Barry Allen switching lives. Oliver wakes up to find out he's the Flash, and Barry finds out he's the Green Arrow. Supergirl still stays Supergirl.

I really enjoyed this Crossover. The fact that it lacked the more somber aspects of the last two Crossovers made it a more fun romp, with our heroes first battling the super-powered android Amazo, and then searching for clues in Gotham City, where they meet Batwoman. Ruby Rose was perfect casting as Kate Kane/Batwoman, and I hope we see her again soon. There were even some nice Easter Eggs for Batman fans (like having some of the action take place on "Nolan and Burton" streets). All in all, it was a fun, exciting excursion, which leads into an even more epic Crossover Event next year. Can't wait to see it.
