      The fact that the BL universe hasn't just *become* part of the Supergirl universe but *always was* part of the same universe with a whole history everyone but our main characters remembers is a pretty big problem! One I'm sure they'll address just as thoughtfully as the comicshttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1232796712466448385 …

      So now there's *three* quasi-government agencies that regulate superpowers (the DEO, ARGUS, and the ASA), the third of which does so entirely by oppressing and exploiting Black Americans, with no interference from the first two ...Yeah, actually, that makes sense

      The *whole point* of Black Lightning's backstory is he was a legendary Black superhero from the 90s who retired and came back But when rich white boy Oliver Queen died and they revealed he's been Arrow for eight years he gets a memorial as "the first superhero"? ...Okay, yeah

      If in this universe Superman is a real guy whose career started about ten years ago but Black Lightning's career goes back at least twenty years why does the theme song the kids made up for him say "This is our Superman, Robin and the Bat" 🤔

      Wait does this mean there was a Robin in this new universe, does that change the backstory of Batwoman Why do all these new DC universes end up making Batman like 20 years older than everyone else

      It was actually pretty funny that in the Crisis when Jefferson was confronted by Supergirl, Batwoman, the Flash and White Canary he had no idea who any of them were and thought he was in a mad universe of nightmares But then he meets Superman and is like "OMG you're real!"

      Meeting a character you thought was fictional in the real world should be more disorienting than meeting total strangers tbh but I guess at a certain point you just break I mean how would you adjust to then waking up in a universe where Superman *always was* real

      There's a whole thing to be written about how hip-hop lyrics reference Superman way, way more than any other superhero, it isn't even close Which may have to do with what Superman represents to marginalized communities but also that rappers weren't that interested in comics

      The really interesting thing about the ending to the Crisis is that the New Earth is mostly a mixture of Supergirl's Earth and the Arrowverse because those were the two universes the final set of heroes were from Black Lightning was NOT among them, he was already dead

          So I guess from an in-universe POV even though they didn't realize they were doing it their guilt over dragging Jefferson from his Earth into the Crisis only to have it be for naught and for him to die anyway drove them to pull his world back from ashes

          It's in the end lucky for him that his universe just happened to be nearby when Pariah made that wish for someone with lightning powers
