3. A True Game-Changer

It's a bold move to attempt a feat as potentially game-changing as Crisis On Infinite Earths, especially when the Arrowverse has a bit of a habit of playing it safe (remember Flashpoint?). However, the powers-that-be went ahead and made it happen and, all credit to them, they pulled off the earth-shattering event and even ensured there would be consequences.

Supergirl's Earth-38 (and apparently Black Lightning's unknown earth) has now merged with Arrow and Flash's Earth-1 while Lex Luthor has somehow managed to turn himself into a paragon of integrity - fooling the people into believing that he's a humanitarian that deserves to be awarded for his so-called, well, humanitarianism. Furthermore, Superman and Lois now have two baby sons, while John Diggle and Lyla Michaels also have two children - with Crisis now restoring Baby Sara's existence.

If you do something like Crisis, you have to go all in - and, thankfully, we can now say that the Arrowverse has done just that. Worlds lived, worlds died and nothing will ever be the same.
