Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths to be 5-Part Crossover

Arrow and The 100 are both CW series; that doesn't make them connected.
Yes, it does.
And like Geoff said above me, Doom Patrol, and Titans are also both Berlanti produced DC Superhero series, and Doom Patrol is also kind, sort, but I guess not really a spin-off of Titans.
Swamp Thing isn't a Berltanti production, but it is also still a DC Universe superhero series.
There are plenty of other DC based shows already taking part, so they obviously don't even have to be Berlanti productions to be part of the Crisis.

Hey, you know what would be a cute Easter egg? If every non-DC show on The CW that week just randomly, inexplicably had a red sky...
Or (should there be one on during the week the first three episodes of COIE air) the episode of the forthcoming BBC adaptation of 'His Dark Materials'. Well it deals with the multiverse :).
 
If one DC Universe show is included, I don't see any reason why the other two couldn't also be.

Well from a logistical standpoint, Titans were still in production of Season 2 about a week ago (maybe still are?) so it would have been relatively easy to do a quick shot on the side to include in the crossover. Other DCU shows are not currently shooting, so there would have to be more effort involved to organize such a thing.
 
Apropos of nothing, I was just looking at a photo of the Monitor, and I wondered: Where does this guy get his hair done? He's got this elaborate cut that's clearly not some kind of species trait but something carefully cultivated and braided. That must take hours of work. So presumably, while he's going about the multiverse putting worlds through cataclysmic trials and warning about the coming apocalypse, he's taking the occasional break to go to his favorite salon and make sure his look is just right. I mean, okay, everyone on an urgent mission to save all existence deserves some me time now and again, but still.

(Of course, I'm speaking in-universe. Presumably LaMonica Garrett just has a few strips of hair glued to his shaven scalp in real life.)
 
I think most of these roles are going to be as small as John Wesley Shipp's role the last time around.

Probably a few major roles (the Supermen and such), a few small supporting roles like Flash-90 last year, and a bunch of red-sky cameos. I'm hoping at least Black Lightning is closer to the first category.

My hunch is that Black Lightning is to Crisis what Supergirl was to the Invasion crossover a couple of seasons ago in that their show may not be involved but they are. I also agree with you about the Supermen, well Brandon Routh & Tyler Hoechlin anyway.

Yes, I think that's a given at this point. I just mean I want him to have a substantial role and interact significantly with the other heroes -- your Invasion! Supergirl analogy is a good one for that.

We've seen some pictures that would seem to indicate he will at least be interacting with the Waverider crew at some point, so it's probably be more than a cameo.
Of the characters we know of, I'm pretty confident Huntress, Burt Ward, Kevin Conroy, and the Titans (if they really are in this) will probably just be cameos during a montage showing either their worlds being destroy, or just them seeing the red sky. I just can't see them devoting that much energy to those characters, when there's already going to be so much going on here.
I've gotten the impression that at least the Supermen and Loises will all be playing pretty big roles, and after setting him up in Elseworlds I'm expecting a bigger role for Flash-90 this time.
