Hi Super hero fans
First the good news, all the regular CW shows on Sky have been picked and are planned to be shown in the latter part of October, except Legends which will be shown in the new year.
Now the bad, Sky have said that they have no plans to show Batwoman, and as most of you guys know, this show will be the second part of the 5-part Crises on Infinite Earths:-
Supergirl S05E09 (Part 1)
Batwoman S01E09 (Part 2)
The Flash S06E09 (Part 3)
Arrow S08E08 (Part 4)
Legends of Tomorrow S05E?? (Part 5)
So guys, if there is no "Part 2" how can we have a 5-part Crises?
BTW, here's the URL I got most of the info from:

Solved! Go to Solution.

I've been keeping my eye on the Geektown website religiously in recent times to see what might (or might not) be happening with Batwoman and a pick-up for UK television and it really does now seem like we could be missing out........ with the consequence indeed of a rather messed up Crossover.
Now, unless Sky and the folk selling Batwoman are in the middle of a Brexit-esq stand-off (and we all know how well those go) and it will all come good very very soon, we may just all have to imagine what goes on in Part 2 of the Crossover (or at least read the text description of the episode on Wikipedia)....... and how many of the returning stars / special guests might only pop-up in that episode never to be seen on these shores (until we get the DVD)??????
If Sky One don't pick-up Batwoman, it doesn't really seem like anyone else is going to step in....... and I'm guessing we may have reached the breaking point that was always likely to come?? How many Arrowverse spin-offs can the CW churn out before Sky One start to say "no more"????? We can be disappointed if Sky One don't take it, but I'm guessing they may have reached their limit??
It will be interesting to see what does happen going forward.

@ukbobboy That's why I dropped Supergirl before last season's finale. If I wanted to see politics, I would just stick the news on. 😠
Thinking about it, I need to catch up on this week's Flash.

Hello Party People
Another final Crisis.... trailer, our consolation prize until Sky/Now TV streams this epic saga (4 out of 5 shows anyway) onto our TVs sometime in the new year.
Oh, BAHHH Humbug!

Do you think from all these Crisis trailers and sneak peeks we could cut-and-paste all the Batwoman action to make our missing episode??????????

Hi Thom
MMMmmmm, Yeah, Naw, Naw, Yeah and more Naw!
So I guess Nawww!
Remember, CW/DC/WB are still gonna wanna make money from Batwoman and so will be careful not to give away "stitchable chunks".
Still, I'm hoping against hope that soon the "powers that be" will release Crisis .... as a DVD/Blue Ray boxset, which is the only way we will see the complete saga on this side of the Atlantic.

Yep, good idea, as soon as those Crisis Eps have finished showing in the US, get the factories working on a quick to market 5-episode DVD/Blu Ray special!!!!
You know, TV watching shouldn't be so complicated😩

Hi again Thom
You said, "TV watching shouldn't be so complicated", I couldn't agree more but now we do have more choice then we ever did back in the day. And for this bounty we now have we have to pay with complication.
Still, it is a price worth paying and I can still chill to my sounds:

Check this out PP
CW are going to launch Stargirl in early 2020, but whether Sky/Now TV are going to pick it up is another question.

Considering the whole Batwoman debacle, you've got to wonder if Sky would be keen to give any more big cheques to Warner Media for new CW Shows......let's hope so, but maybe they'll start thinking twice in the future????
