In a somewhat more unexpected change to the continuity, it appears that Black Lightning's unknown earth has also merged with Earth-1. Though not outright confirmed in Crisis On Infinite Earths, it's clear that Jefferson's family has been saved from the antimatter wave so, with that in mind, you'd have to wonder why he's still on Prime-Earth.

If this is indeed the case, it officially ends speculation as to whether Black Lightning takes place in the Arrowverse or not. The only non-Arrowverse DC property on The CW's schedule, it appears that it won't be on its own anymore. Yes, after all this time, it seems that Black Lightning has found a home in the Arrowverse.
