Interesting stuff.
>The shows will explore the ramifications of Crisis and the differences on Earth-Prime over the course of the rest of the seasons.
>The creation of Earth-Prime allowed all writers to reboot elements of their shows to move the plots forward, like Lex Luthor now being considered a hero by the public.
>Warner asked them to include Ezra Miller’s cameo. Guggenheim had to write several versions of the scene to make sure it didn’t affect the upcoming Flash movie in any way.
>Guggenheim checked with Grant Gustin first to see it he was okay with Miller’s cameo. The scene was shot with a skeleton crew, and Guggenheim was impressed that it didn’t leak online.
>They approached Nicolas Cage to cameo as Superman and he was actually up for it, but was shooting a movie in another country at the time.
>They approached Lynda Carter to cameo as Wonder Woman and she was up for it, but the character was unavailable to them.
>Using Luthor wasn’t originally in their plans, but Jon Cryer learned about the crossover and asked to be included. Since the character was very well-received, they went for it.
>Using Kevin Conroy wasn’t originally in their plans and Guggenheim didn’t even know he was a screen actor. They were looking at actors to play evil future Batman and the casting director suggested him because they are old friends.
>They planned to include the Psycho Pirate as the Anti-Monitor’s minion, but ultimately decided he was superfluous and was only being included because he was in the comics.
>They never planned to include the Reverse Flash since he already had a big role in past crossovers and the writers who teased his involvement didn’t work on this one.
