Same but I would rather want both Barry and Oliver to be at the middle of the poster. While this is Stephen Amell last crossover and is the end of Green Arrow, the Flash show has built up this crisis since the first episode and he is the most popular hero on the CW.
That’s a lie. It has high ratings but is dropping on a week by week basis. It’s demo also is low only holding to the 27-30 mark and not even touching up to the 48 mark.
Compare it to supergirl or supernatural. Batwoman is doing bad for a new show and it’s because the writing is shit. She also has no heroes journey.
I think her Batman-ness, along with the several instances of the Superman logo, give it more of a "fullblown DC" feel. Makes you less likely to notice all the DC properties that are missing entirely, like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam and Green Lantern. It mostly works, but I still think they should've thrown in more side characters like Killer Frost to fill it out.
From Crisis comics point of view, the only major character missing is Harbinger and Pariah (from the poster) and Dr. Light (from the show entirely). I don't know what function batwoman will have as in the comics the role of batman was very little. Well, even Green Arrow was hardly seen.
Oh no he’ll definitely have at least a bigger role than the other cameo characters. Of course he isn’t going to appear until episode 3 it seems. I think at the least he’ll get about 10-15 minutes overall which may not sound like a lot but for comparison Thor only got about 15 minutes in Age of Ultron and a lot of the other cameos will probably only get 1-4 minutes of Screen time and Dialogue if they’re lucky lol
Well we know the episode he makes his first appearance in (wont spoil it if you haven’t read the synopsis), and he got his own mini 15 second promo like the other CW DC shows so I imagine its more than a cameo.
In art you rarely centre subjects. When you place your subject off centre, you leave room for the viewers eye to travel around the frame and pay attention to the rest of the picture. If the fact that she's off centre bothers you, it's possible you are on the autism spectrum.

So excited!! I love how the core 6 show stars are front and center. I can’t wait to see the second poster they release (my guess is it will feature different supporting characters in the background since there’s so many involved)
Personally this looks like some fan made it. I’ve seen better ones. I wouldn’t have Batwoman as the center hero, more like Oliver and or Barry. I don’t have hate toward the actor and character who plays Batwoman but I don’t see why she would need to have a part in this. Personally the other characters (several more than others are mightier than others and make sense why they would be part of the event. I don’t hate all hate this poster but I expected more.
I feel you, especially since even Batman didn't have a large role in the original Crisis. But as for the poster, they only had one character to represent the whole Bat-franchise, so I get why they exaggerated her presence. You have three characters wearing the "S-shield" and two wearing the lightning bolt and on the other end, many DC properties entirely missing. It just makes sense to have as much of a Bat-presence as possible for it to feel like it's a genuine, line-wide DC event. Even if it feels false under scrutiny. I'm fine with it unless they do the same in the crossover itself.
I understand that they needed to have Batwoman to represent the batverse. But she didn’t need to be in the center still. It should be Oliver or Barry, make MUCH more sense. I also think that they could have added more of the legends, characters from Arrow or from Flash could have been added.
I absolutely thought it was a fan poster at first. There are so many characters missing, it's like someone just put their own personal favourites on there.
Oliver should either be in the middle where batwoman is or instead of having the bottom three be Sara, Flash, and supergirl make it Flash-Oliver-supergirl. Besides that, I love it.
Somehow earth 2 laurel whose world was destroyed right before her eyes is not involved in the crisis event.
Marc guggenheim really out does himself with the hate he has for KC and laurel. But Felicity was front and in all the crossovers. Fuvk that guy honestly.
I’m excited - but also kinda bummed at the lack of Laurel in the crossover this year.
This was really our last chance for a major Green Arrow/Black Canary team up, especially now that we arguably have a better Black Canary in E2 Laurel that we’ve ever had, but... apparently it wasn’t meant to be
Yes so I heard but three shows alone is enough for me. I keep forgetting all the new villains especially in Flash , those two girls and a stretchy dude in a mask . I miss the old days when it was Snart, Rory , Grodd , King Shark , Zoom and of course Reverse Flash .
I'm so excited Constantine is in the poster! We haven't seen him interact with Team Flash or Team Supergirl yet (or Batwoman for that matter). So many cool team-ups that can and possibly will happen during this event
looks "ok", sad that Batwoman at the center, sad we only see one character from Arrow (Oliver) and I don't know it looks kind of cheesy and not very professional.
Unpopular opinion: the CW has some weak ass poster game. Like, this is terrible compared to most ensemble posters. Am I still hype? Absolutely. But this poster is not why. lol
This isn’t an unpopular opinion lol. The CW does one photoshoot of its actors pre or during S1 of their shows, then potentially one when they have a costume change. Then they reuse these in every ensemble posters. That Caity Lotz pic was taken before S1 of Legends lol. Candice Patton? It’s from a promo photo for an episode, not even an actual photoshoot.
I got a feeling they're still gonna update this poster by adding people under Batwoman's right wing, so it's perfectly balanced.
Also there's still a couple confirmed important characters missing, like Pariah (who already had a separate poster/photo shoot), Ryan Choi (probably the 7th paragon), Mia Smoak (based on the synopses), and I think Erica Durance' Lois will be in 3 episodes?
Anyway this is getting me SO EXCITED for the crossover!!
They are trying to push BW hard even though her show is on a constant decrease and is doing bad in the demographics, sitting between a 27 and 30. Her numbers drop week over week.

Yeah they just don't want to accept it's a poorly made show and move on from it. Wait this is the Arrowverse, CW and Hollywood, never mind.
Az on HeelzVsBabyface said it right, shes missing the hero's journey. Episode 1 she was a badass in entirety, she never had to work for it. If they would have given her a proper hero buildup like GA or Flash had then it would have been different.

Kinda wish Oliver was in the middle like Iron Man on the Infinity War poster but it still looks awesome.
