Spoilers Ahead!!!!!
The fan service is strong with this episode, even if it is not as good as the first episode.
Brandon Routh's return as Superman was excellent! Brandon is my favorite actor to play Superman (Sorry fans of Christopher Reeve). Tom Welling's return as Superman, while brief, was great. Jon Cryer did a great job as Lex Luthor also, hope to see him more during this Crisis.
The return of Heat Wave was great, as I loved his character on The Flash. Him also being a baby sitter was hillarious.
Kevin Conroy's reveal as Batman was the best part of this episode. The references to The Dark Knight Returns, Thomas Wayne's version of Batman, and Ben Affleck's version of Batman were incredible. The reveal that he killed Superman, Joker, the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and more villains was a shocking twist.
Mia, Barry, Sara, and John Constantine's quest to bring Oliver back to life, using the Lazarus pit was emotional, and it had some great callbacks to seasons 3 and 4, even though 4 was a bad season. The cameo by Jonah Hex was a surprising twist also. As to what the team has to end up doing to bring Oliver's soul back to his body is going to be very interesting.
The Anti-Monitor arrived at the end, and his design is incredible. Him going after Lyla is very interesting.
Overall, while not as exciting as last week, part 2 of Crisis on Infinite Earths delivers on the fan service, bringing back some familiar faces from the 90s, plenty of emotion, great callbacks to previous seasons, revealing the Anti-Monitor, and strong performances from Kevin Conroy, Brandon Routh, and Jon Cryer.
Out of a 10 I would give it...
9.0 out of 10
