I know it's not fair to compare DC TV shows to DC movies, but damn, the CW DC shows knocked it out of the park with this year's crossover. They pretty much put Justice League to shame. It does help that the crossover was basically a three hour movie split into four parts. That's a lot of time to cover a number of plot points for a good chunk of the characters.
But what I loved the most was how none of the installments felt like an hour of any particular show. Like, they didn't start the story with Kara and eventually moved on to Barry and then Ollie and then the Legends. They all get introduced in the same montage. That was the element that was lacking in last year's crossover. I hope they adopt this model for every major crossover going forward. Sure, it was probably a scheduling nightmare for the producers and the actors, but the end result was worth it.
( Spoilers for "Crisis on Earth-X" )
Not to be undone, but Marvel released the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War a day after the crossover was done. Coincidence? Or calculated timing to steal some of DC's thunder? ;-)
