The Monitor is not exactly the kind of BIG character/casting news I was hoping for.
I don't even know who that is.Well, that dream was cruelly short-lived.
The Monitor is the character who ushered in Crisis on Infinite Earths in the 1980s, the first of the many, many times that DC has done a storyline that rebooted its entire continuity through some in-universe alteration to reality. The Flash has been teasing such a "Crisis" coming in the future for as long as it's been on the air.

The important casting news would be the Anti-Monitor.Well, that dream was cruelly short-lived.
It is quite possible that the Batwoman introduced in this crossover is not the same Batwoman who will be in the upcoming series.
That would be a heck of an odd way to go about a backdoor pilot, though.
Since the crossover is after the winter finales of all shows if they went with elseworlds versions of characters I'd think it more likely we'd see alternate versions of the regular heroes, not the new one. That way they can avoid mentioning any cliffhangers of individual shows, and set up Batwoman's Earth if she's on a separate one.
I don't think that will be the case though, and we'll just see the "real" versions of all characters.
I'd really like to see them re-name the villainous doctor at Arkham, and made him Jeremiah Arkham, in honor of the recently passed co-creator Norm Breyfogle.
I'm a little surprised, really, because that would make two crossovers in a row that are driven by multiversal elements. "Invasion!" didn't really involve parallel Earths beyond the brief contrivance of bringing Supergirl over to join the fight; I'd been expecting that this would be like that but in reverse, with Barry and Oliver coming over to Earth-38 and helping Kara deal with Batwoman. But instead we're getting another one where the multiplicity of universes is integral to the plot and referenced in the title.
Has it been confirmed what Earth Batwoman will take place on? Could she be on her own Earth?
Earth-39?
Not yet.
^ That's a trickier question to answer than you might think, because the three series involved operate on slightly different schedules (Arrow and The Flash both have an 8-days-per-episode shooting schedule whereas Supergirl has a 10-days-per-episode shooting schedule) and we don't know how far along each series is in their production schedule.
