Then do a crossover show involving the Legends and Black Lightning. Why would that be so impossible for the Arrowverse producers?
You know what? I'm not going to bother arguing. I do know that I won't be watching this next crossover.

It's not, but I assume the BL producers would have to be willing. And I'm not sure they are.
I hope they are not willing to do that. BL is a strong series standing on its own feet, with a very distinct identity and tone far apart from the rest of the DC/CW shows. I would not want BL to lose that to any degree (i.e., forced to alter its handling to accommodate other series' plots, characters and execution).
That joke don't work??? Seriously?????
N-1211973 , as he quoted it..made the joke even "funnier" since that was apparently prophecy that came true.
Some fans really appreciate that kind of humor...especially if we consider Legends to ben the least serious / most "comic booky" of the shows
The villain will be an unhinged Bruce Wayne who's crusade against crime has finally sent him flying over the edge.
Unless Barry dicks with the timelines again and they wind up against an unhinged Thomas Wayne...
Intergang has already been established on Earth 38 and would be an interesting nemesis with ties to Darkseid that could have consequences and continuing story lines for both earths. It is an antagonist that could occupy Batwoman's time on the street and also be formidable enough for Supergirl and Superman with the New Gods connections.
I can understand why the did the crossover the way they did, the Super family and Bat family tend to be pretty closely connected, so I can see wanting to include Supergirl at least. As close as Kara and Barry are it makes sense she'd bring in The Flash if the threat was ,serious and if it's serious enough to bring Barry in, it makes sense he'd bring Green Arrow along to. That's already a lot of characters to deal with, and once you add in Superman and Lois along with Batwoman, that's a lot of characters, so I can see leaving out the Legends.
Since Black Lightning isn't really connected to the others yet, adding him in too, would just be to much of a complication when they are already introducing Lois, and Batwoman, and establishing Gotham for the first time.
I wouldn't mind seeing BL brought into a future crossover, but it would probably be best to wait until his introduction to the wider Arrow multiverse can be more of a focus.
Well, it looks like JD was right after all -- the casting breakdown for Lois Lane has been released, and they are looking for "early 30s," even though that makes no damn sense in this continuity.
That's right. Lois should be older than Clark but at least a few years unless this continuity will change the order in which Clark and Lois joined the planet. Even if Superman started his career at 18 or 19 (the series has established he's been in action for 12 years IIRC) then he would be mid-thirties--so Lois should be at least mid to late thirties.
As I mentioned before, the show has previously established that Superman was born c. 1979, because Kara was stuck in the Phantom Zone for 24 years and arrived on Earth around 2003. It also established that Superman was already active when Kara arrived, and that Lois was one of the first reporters to interview Superman, so she must've been active as a reporter at least 15 years ago.
They're looking for a Caucasian actress in her early 30s; that doesn'tmean the character is in her early 30s.

But these are comic book years we're talking about. Real world rules need not apply.
Thanks. That's where I'm getting the twelve years from as the show started in 2015.
To me the real issue is that James Olsen is played by Mechad Brooks who is 37.
Simple solution is to do a flashback with a very young actor playing Jimmy with Tyler and whomever they cast as Lois. Showing that both Lois and Clark age very well but also little Jimmy sprouted up to be 6’3, taller than both. Or a old picture as a prop. That should have been addressed when Clark was cast. The racial issue is irrelevant. We have Jimmy/James who has always been younger than Clark Kent. Yet cast with an actor who is older and taller than him. They should at least acknowledge that James was a kid when he first met Superman. He changed, grew up. That changes a relationship. They never really even have had scenes together yet.

I noticed a typo in the announcement which states that Lucy appeared in season 2 when it was season 1. Also Lois isn't going to be in the 'Arrow' episode of the crossover. The statement says she's in episodes one & three which correspond to 'The Flash' & 'Supergirl'.
