Trivia

The crossover was marketed as Heroes vs Aliens.
There are eight characters who appear throughout the entire "Invasion!" crossover (not counting "Medusa", which takes place entirely on Earth-38 and only sets up the story at the end of the episode). The characters are Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Barry Allen/The Flash, Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Ray Palmer/The Atom, Sara Lance/White Canary, John Diggle/Spartan, Felicity Smoak/Overwatch and Cisco Ramon/Vibe. The only characters who appear in all the "Invasion!" episodes and "Medusa" are Barry, Kara, and Cisco.
- Notably, all eight of these characters are featured in the posters highlighting the event (shown below).
Josh Segarra and Matt Letscher were the only series regulars who didn't appear in the crossover.
This crossover is the first crossover to include Supergirl and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
Even though the crossover was marketed as a "4-night crossover event", the first part ("Medusa") didn't focus on the crossover until the last scene.
- However, at two different points throughout the episode, a breach suddenly opens and then closes, with ending scene confirming that this was Barry and Cisco attempting to get to Earth-38 (Barry later saying that they had some trouble getting there). Furthermore, in The Flash portion of the crossover, when Cisco first opens a breach to travel to Kara's universe, he says "This might take a few tries."
Ray Palmer states that Kara resembled his cousin. This is a reference to Brandon Routh's role of Superman (who is the cousin of Supergirl) in the movie Superman Returns.
