Batwoman has finally arrived!
Or to seeSupergirl and Batwoman bond?
However, the best part is that Batwoman wasnt all this episode had to offer.

I continue to be pleasantly surprised bythis years crossover.
Its doing a pretty good job of handling a ton of mythology without getting bogged down.
Arrowbegins with the crossovers best gag so far: Grant Gustin narrating and appearing in the shows classic opening.
Its taking the most absurd premise a body swap!
and spinning it into comedic gold.
Once the opening is done, it doesnt take too long for the action to jump to Gotham City.
Traveling to Gotham, of course, meansthe Batman must come up.
When they arrive in Batmans hometown, they happen upon the Bat-Signal, although Oliver still isnt convinced.
Actually, Elseworlds is doing a pretty good job of seamlessly moving through various tones, especially here.
Speaking of Gotham: Its worth taking time to talk about the Arrowverses version of Gotham City.
Based on this first episode, I like it.
So, to jail the three capes go!
Thankfully, Kate Kane, a.k.a.
Ruby Roses first scene with Amell, Gustin, and Melissa Benoist was pretty good.
So the trio head to the infamous mental institute.
And this when the episode kicks into high gear with an extended prison break sequence.
Who is this badass?
says Cisco when he and Barry meet her for the first time, which feels like an apt response.
Furthermore, the experience helps the two men understand each other even better.
Having recovered the Book of Destiny, they return to Star City.
Malcolm Merlyn, Lil Slade, and Ricardo Diaz.
Oh, and Superman had a wardrobe change and is evil now.
Overall, I thought this episode was a great follow-up to Part 1.
