Usually it's three episodes but given the scope this feels like it should be it's own mini TV film that's a lot longer and would allow them to go and do more with the story. They say "Fall 2019" but is that a general term and it'll actually be December like it has been or will they be doing it that early?

Because it's a Crisis it would be logical for all the shows to crossover even if not every character has a big role. Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Legends, Black Lightning and Batwoman all converging but I don't know how they'll do it. It's also possible they'll go bigger and include characters from other shows/films. 90s Flash I could see returning in a bigger role and fulfilling the role of Barry in the original Crisis with him sacrificing himself. I know they were referencing Barry and Kara's deaths in the story with the spinning the world backwards but given those deaths are iconic they still would probably want to recreate them somehow for the story. Give the Barry sacrifice to 90s Flash.

But then the could go bigger and bring in even if it's for cameos the Helen Slater Supergirl, Lynda Carter Wonder Woman, Brandon Routh Superman and if he's wiling to put the suit on this time Tom Welling Superman. Either him or Routh would represent the older Superman from the original story and Helen Slater Supergirl would sacrifice herself in place of the Kara we know so they can do that death without killing the regular Supergirl. It'd be kind of a cop out but they could still kill other characters off that are a part of the main shows.

People are thinking Oliver will sacrifice himself which will either set up an end for Arrow or for it to continue with Oliver's supporting cast and Kimiko as the new Green Arrow. That way if they really want the show to keep going they can without Stephen Amell but given he's a big part of the show I don't know if an audience would accept him being gone. It's also possible if the Legends aren't renewed they could die. Send the ship out in a blaze of glory as they stand together as it blows up going out like heroes and remembered as Legends.

They have a big story here that they will have to think long and hard about if they want to make it the crossover to end all crossovers. If it were up to me this should be the end of the Arrowverse. Where else can you go then Anti-Monitor? I guess Darkseid but he's off limits because of the movies. There's only so long the shows can go on for and the actors while they enjoy these characters they probably are looking to do other things. But it doesn't seem like they are ending it anytime soon because they've got Black Lightning and now Batwoman is starting and they probably want to add more to their lineup. I guess maybe you could use it as an ending in the way Endgame is the end for the Avengers but not the MCU as a whole. This would be used to phase out Barry, Oliver and the Legends with Kara maybe being the hero to stick around as a mentor to the likes of Kimiko and Nora with Batwoman sort of serving as another mentor because while she's still new she seems like she has experience on her enough that she doesn't need help all the time and if they don't make Kimiko the new Green Arrow permanently and just end Arrow then her show will be the replacement for Arrow. But maybe I'm off base completely and we'll just have to wait and see. If Ollie dies, they should replace him with 1) Speedy, 2) the new sister, or 3) Scarlet Bowman.
