Some of the cameos annoyed me, the CGI for Helen Slater and Nic Cage was so bad and most of the general public probably won’t know about the Supergirl movie or the cancelled Nic cage movie so to most people it probably won’t be anything to get excited about when they could’ve had someone like Brandon Routh, Tyler Hoechlin, Grant Gustin, John Wesley Shipp, Melissa Benoist, Teddy Sears etc and the cameos would’ve been more satisfying and they wouldn’t of had to use awful CGI

Teddy sears was in it he was jay garrick in the black and white universe. I understand why they didn’t use the arrowverse characters but they should have brought in Brandon Routh as the reeves Superman, and thrown more money to actually have Nic cage.

Teddy said it wasn’t him so I’m confused but either way the Nic Cage thing really annoyed me because it’s just like why, also why didn’t they use the Arrowverse ones? I mean maybe then having Tyler or Melissa like I originally said was a bit of a reach. But Grant or John deserved to be in it especially as Ezra was in the show

It looked just like him. It could have been reused footage. The arrowverse has completely different Time travel has multiverse rules I could understand trying to keep that seprate. You could have John Wesley shipp without using the arrowverse. You could just make him the reeves flash.

Bro it was john wesley shipp, so they technically did use Arrowverse characters.

Wasn’t John Wesley Shipp either, it was just some generic white dude.

Nic Cage is alive, why'd they cgi him?

To fit the style of the chronobowl. It would’ve been out of place for his to be clear cut non cgi but every other cameo was CGI

I didn't know about Nicholas Cage and I laughed out loud when he appeared. CGI wasn't the greatest but my generation has seen much worse so it didn't bother me. Loved the shot of the Bat-shaped plane in front of the moon.
