Part 1 recap
Batwoman episode 9:
Earth 1, Central City. Drinking for Oliver. Sara and Kara. Kara says Oliver shouldn't have sacrificed himself. Sara says Oliver died the way he lived - a hero. Kate says the multiverse is ending soonish. Kara says there has to be a way we can undo this. All those people that vanished, there has to be a way to get them back. Lyla arrives. Diggle is home with JJ. He doesn't know about Oliver. Ray and The Monitor. Waverider needed. Sara promised her crew they wouldn't have to do another crossover. LOL. Lyla
Earth 74 Waverider. Harbinger comes in. Anyone here? Snart is the Gideon! Rory offers flame or frost. The Legends here retired. Rory took the ship to have quiet to write romance. Lyla says come with me, Mick Rory and you'll have plenty of beer and stories to tell.
He says you had me at beer.
The Monitor addresses the group. Johnathan cries. Interrupting him. Kara hands him to Mick. And he stops crying. Monitor says there are 7 heroes that will defeat the Anti-Monitor. Paragons. He consulted the Book of Destiny. He retrieved it from the past after Oliver's demise. Kara asks if the book can bring back Earth 38. Mia asks if Oliver can come back? Monitor wishes so. But as the Anti-Monitor grows stronger, I grow weaker. Kara is the Paragon of Hope. Sara is the Paragon of Destiny. He only has descriptions for other 2. A Kryptonian with great loss. He's the Paragon of Truth. And the Bat of the Future is the Paragon of Courage. Felicity helped him find the Book of Wisdom. Monitor reveals that Bruce Wayne is the Dark Knight. Kate says keep that to yourselves. Who wants to meet Batman?
Lex is brought to Kara. Lena killed you! Only for a little while. Monitor says Lex Luthor has a part to play. Kara pushes about the lives lost. She can't trust the man that thinks Lex Luthor is an ally. Kate is hostile.
Kate finds Kara. Kara says this feels unfair. Kate says my sister murdered my step-mom and framed my dad for it. Finding this Bruce on another Earth might give me a chance. Let's go save the universe.
Lyla's in pain since the Monitor revealed the book is back. Lex holding it. He opens it. Goodbye, Superman. All of you. He goes through a portal. She confronts The Monitor.
Barry hugs Iris. Maybe the Monitor is wrong about you. You're not supposed to die. Barry wants to use the Lazarus Pit. There are more Earths to find one. He can't be dead. Not him. She says The Monitor gave her a mission to find the hopeless Kryptonian.
Sara and Mia. Mia tells her what she and Barry are going to do. Sara says it's not that simple. You lose your humanity. Mia says Nyssa told me everything I need to know about Lazarus Pits. And you.
Earth 99, Gotham. The mansion is decrepit. Overgrown. Kate and Kara knock. Lucas answers the door. I'm Kate Kane, Bruce's cousin. He shuts the door on her. Kate knocks again. Kara kicks the door down. Lucas pulls a gun on them. Kevin Conroy Batman voice! Let them in. You'll have to forgive him. We don't get many visitors. Bruce coming down in an exo-suit. Kate? Bruce?
**Old Bruce used a suit in Batman Beyond, though not to walk around all the time. He used a cane. The suit was for the last years as Batman when his body couldn't keep up with the villains out there anymore. Kevin Conroy has voiced Animated Batman for many years.
Lucas took Kara to the library. Bruce says you've aged well for a dead girl. Died 5 years ago. He wonders what she is. Who the hell are you? She asks him to sit.
Earth 75 Metropolis. Clark and Lois get a message that Lex is alive and trying to kill Supermen. Breaking news - Superman is dead. Lex killed him and blinked out.
John Constantine with Mia and Barry. John does a spell to find a Lazarus Pit. So many Earths gone and more vanishing as we speak. But he finds one. Mia asks now what? He wants a thank you. She says how about I thank you when you bring my dad back. Sara needs John to promise to bring back Oliver's soul. She needs to hear him say it. He'll do it! To the best of his abilities.
Earth 167, Smallville. Hi, Clark! He's chopping wood on the farm. Lois thinks he's buff. 38 Clark asks You are Clark Kent, right? Clark says Can I help you? Iris says this universe and others is in the process of disappearing -- Lois interjects that Lex Luthor is going to try to kill you. Clark didn't know the president was in town. 38 Lex arrives. Hello, old friend. Clark asks Who are you? (Because this Clark's Lex was played by Michael Rosenbaum.) 38 Lex says Don't you know me? I'm Lex Luthor.
**Tom Welling has aged well. So has Justin Hartley, who was Oliver Queen on Smallville.
Clark walks up with the ax. You're not Lex. Maybe not the Lex you know. What'd you do with those people? Sent them back to their flying tin can in the sky. Clark says he's just a guy working on this farm. Lex says on this Earth, Clark Kent is Superman. He's here to kill him. Brought Kryptonite. But it's doing nothing. Clark takes it from him. Tosses it. He gave up his powers. Can't say I miss these chats. Lex is shocked. Lois calls to him. Lex tries to hit him and Clark catches his fist and hits him. Huh, Still stronger. Lex leaves. Lois asks if he was talking to the cows again. He tells her Lex from another Earth was here. The multiverse is ending. She says you made a funny! Only took you a decade. They go to the house to see what their daughters made.
Batman says Paragon of Courage? you're a few years too late. He's lost track of how many people he's killed. You take one life, then another, then another, and another.... You'll see. My Kate? My Kate put on the cape, thought she'd succeed where I failed. All she did was get killed. Kate says I'm not her. But apparently you're needed. I'm giving you a chance to be a hero again. Not just for Gotham. To the whole damn universe.
Ray needs quiet to work on the paragon detector. So Mick starts reading his novel to Johnathan. A sex scene!
Earth 96 Metropolis. Daily Planet. Lois bumps into Clark Kent. He says you seem so familiar. Have we met before? Iris says he looks like Ray Palmer. Clark compliments Clark on the glasses. Clark asks to chat. It's about Lex Luthor.
Kara uses her x-ray vision in the house. Mementos of Batman's greatest victories in cases, on shelves. You mean trophies. Superman's glasses! Superman put Bruce in the exoskeleton.
In memoriam wall. The building was gassed and they all died. Clark lost everyone at once. We just found our Paragon. We need you to come back with us. You might be the key to saving the multiverse. John William's theme! The Supers change into their costumes. Lex shows up with the book. It's more fun to make Superman kill Superman.
**It's a shame Smallville Clark gave up his powers, but it fits his personality. Family was everything.
Superman attacks Superman. Lois calls him the Paragon of Truth. But he serves Lex Luthor. They fly out the window and keep fighting. Flying. More Superman theme music. They collide and bust windows. He's coming back to attack the girls. Lois knocks out Lex. Help me with the book. She and Iris open it. The supers fly back in. It's like Lex turned his love into hate. Lois appeals to the real Clark. Love! They'd want their memories to lift you up. Remember who you are! He says this is the second time I've gone nuts and fought myself.
Earth 18, North Dakota. John says this is the place. Clean up the room. Barry and John leave to get Oliver's body. Mia insists on doing this. Sara says your father wouldn't take no for an answer, either. Jonah Hex says this mine is off limits. Mia says we need to use this pit. He says we can come to an arrangement. They fight him. Sara controls him. The mine is ours. She cuts his face. He relents. Sara misses Ollie, too. They return. Sara says put him in the water. Lower Oliver's body in. And wait.
**This Bruce/Batman went dark, which Batman has done at times in comic runs. Even so, I doubt he was killing innocents that were inconvenient.
Bruce brings Kate into the cave. There was no hope for this world. Kara comes in as Supergirl. We can't trust The Monitor. He says Clark trusted police and government. He gave them too much power. My parents taught me a different lesson. He uses Kryptonite on Kara.
Waiting for Oliver. Mia is impatient. Oliver busts out of the pit. He's wild. Dad? Sara tranqs him. This isn't Oliver. We still have to get his soul back.
Bruce says the Kate I knew didn't trust anyone, let alone a Kryptonian. This world isn't worth saving. He attacks Kate and ends up backed into being electrocuted. Wearing the suit kills him. Kate.....listen to me....there is no hope...
Waverider. Ray and Superman comparing notes. Lex in a cell. Mick returns Johnathan to Lois. Clark says he looks just like my son Jason. Monitor says well done. Kara comes in and says you think you're a good guy, but you're not. She's weirded out by the Superman who looks like Ray. Ray's paragon detector is finished. Take a step back. Which Earth? None of them. It's this ship. Monitor says it works fine. You're the Paragon of Courage. You are the Bat of the future, Kate Kane.
John doing the spell to put Oliver's spell in his body. But nothing happens. Something's wrong. This has never happened before. The anti-matter is blocking his magic. Barry says Oliver will be a monster forever.
Kara brings Kate a drink. Time travelers, aliens.....how am I a paragon? Kara says I've seen you in action. You saved me. Oliver and Barry's asses last year. How hard you try makes you a hero. You have the heart. You're one of the bravest people I know. Kate says what if I end up like Bruce? Kara gives Kate a photo from Bruce's house. A photo of Beth and Kate on Earth 99. Kara wants to use the Book of Destiny to bring back Earth 38. What good is being the Paragon of Hope if I don't have any? Kate kept the bit of Kryptonite.
Lyla has voices in her head. Stop. Please stop. She's called to a hallway. Harbinger. I need you. Anti-Monitor! Come, Harbinger. There's work to be done.
Next ep - Black Lightning joins the team. One Earth left. It's time for The Flash to vanish.
