An overall great episode that's filled with Easter Eggs and nostalgia

Part Two is directed by the talented Laura Belsey who have been apart the Arrowverse since 2016, she usually directs great episode and this is another great one. Alright, seeing Kevin Conroy in the flesh as Bruce Wayne in live action was something I have wanted for a long time and he didn't disappoint! Having other returning heroes and characters like John Constantine, Smallville characters and the best one is of course the Superman and played by Brandon Routh a performance I really enjoyed in Superman Returns. The story resumes right after the previous episode and the heroes is in search for more heroes to beat the Anti-Monitor, many memorable moments and excellent writing made this episode a must watch for any comic book lover. Special effects were once again great, you can see the bigger budget and it is needed.

Alright so to the negative parts in why this didn't gain 10 star rating from me. It's a really tiny small spoiler but I've to get it out, it's that they give Batwoman and Supergirl such a big role well I can understand Supergirl but Batwoman who has been a vigilante for maybe a little bit less than half a year doesn't make any sense but I do get why the writers wrote it like that as she's one of the main characters and has her own show but there is a lot of others that would be better as the big role she got. Don't take this as hating on female characters, I like almost all the female characters but this writing felt a bit weak and forced. Other than that, a great episode!

Trivia
Kevin Conroy discussed with Entertainment Weekly how the "Crisis" role took him by surprise, stating how the experience of playing Batman for the first time in live-action "threw him" at first. "I never approached this character from that physicalized aspect. I always just inhabited him with my voice," Conroy said. "When you do that in a recording studio, it's a very intimate experience and you're sort of living in your own imagination. You do it with your eyes closed and you're in this other world, and you have Mark Hamill feeding you [need], and the other actors (because we always recorded together in the booths.)" "To actually be on the set, in the physical world, and to be walking as the character and inhabiting the character in three dimensions, it was a real transition for me," he added. "It did take a while to get used to, I have to admit. I was surprised because I know the character so well."

Goofs
Earth-167's Clark shouldn't be as surprised to hear of the multiverse as he appears to be; he visited a parallel Earth in "Luthor (2010)", and encountered his doppelganger from that world in "Kent (2011)". However, Clark never is surprised about the multiverse when he is told about it and is only curious when Luthor beams the others away.

Quotes
Clark Kent (Earth-167): Hmm. You're not Lex.
Lex Luthor: Maybe not the Lex you know. The multiverse has a way of aligning fates.
Clark Kent (Earth-167): What'd you do to those people?
Lex Luthor: Sent them back to their flying tin can in the sky. Let's hope they learn from this teachable moment. Now I'm here for you, not them.
Clark Kent (Earth-167): Whoever you are, I'm just a guy working on this farm.
Lex Luthor: You will always be my greatest enemy on any Earth. It's written in the stars and in this book or I wouldn't know that on this Earth Clark Kent is Superman. Where I come from, that would be ridiculous. He can't see past his glasses.
Clark Kent (Earth-167): Hmm. So what do you want?
Lex Luthor: Why, to kill you of course and every version of you across the multiverse so that if the, uh, super friends somehow find a way save existence there won't be a single Superman stand in my way.
[Lex brings out Kryptonite on Clark and he's unfazed, Clark takes it and throws it away]
Lex Luthor: That's Kryptonite.
Clark Kent (Earth-167): Which has no effect on me ever since I gave up my powers.
Lex Luthor: You gave up your powers?
Clark Kent (Earth-167): Can't say I miss these chats.
Lex Luthor: You were basically a God. You could fly. You could see through walls. You had super strength.
[steps on a toy tractor]
Lex Luthor: You're kidding me.
Clark Kent (Earth-167): That is worth more than any superpower.
Lois Lane: Hey, Clark. The girls want to show you what they've made.
Clark Kent (Earth-167): [looking away] I think it's time for you...
[stops Lex's punch and punches him]
Clark Kent (Earth-167): Ah. Still stronger.
Lex Luthor: You took all the fun out of it. Enjoy your slice of mediocrity while you can, Clark. You're all doomed anyway.
