The Flash Season 6 Review: 8 Ups & 2 Downs From 'Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part 3'

5. Welcome To The Arrowverse, Black Lightning

Well after two years of wondering if we'd ever see it, Crisis On Infinite Earths delivered by officially introducing Black Lightning himself, Jefferson Pierce, into the Arrowverse. And, like so much of this crossover so far, it was indeed worth the wait.

Following the shocking conclusion of Black Lightning's midseason finale, which saw the wave of antimatter wipe out Freeland and the Pierce family, Jefferson was transported to the Anti-Monitor's lair by Pariah - where he helped delay the wave and gave Earth-90 Flash the means to save everyone. He then returned to the Waverider with the rest of the heroes and immediately fitted right in.

It was nothing short of awesome to see Cress Williams standing shoulder-to-shoulder with all of his peers and, if anything, this has given us hope that we'll see him doing so again in the future.

It's official: Black Lightning is in the Arrowverse.
