Live Poll: Favorite Arrowverse Crossover

With the end of The Flash (2014) season 9 the Arrowverse is coming to an end.

Starting in 2012 with the release of The Flash (2014), it became one of the most succesful superhero media franchises in television and it showed an interconnected shared universe featuring many DC Comics superheroes.

The Arrowverse included six TV series, and two webseries, and while most characters followed their own stories in their own TV series, each season fans could expect a crossover featuring many of they characters in a single storyline.

Now that we say goodbye to the Arrowverse, which of its crossover events was your favorite?

@Pencho15, I thought it could be a bit clearer, so I tweaked the order and added a few details. Feel free to use it or not, or to pare it for length or edit it otherwise to your liking.

I also don't think the Arrowverse is going away and will continue to be popular in reruns. I just think it has temporarily or permanenty ceased to expand with no currently running series.

"On August 1, 2022, it was announced that The Flash would be concluding with its upcoming ninth season, which would also act as the conclusion of the Arrowverse, due to Superman & Lois having been confirmed to take place in an adjacent universe. In May 2023, The CW stated that it had passed on Justice U." (From Wikipedia)

After eleven years, the Arrowverse is coming to an end with the final episode of its last remaining member series, The Flash (2014), airing on May 24, 2023. Over the past decade, the DC Arrowverse has been by far the dominant comic book superhero media franchise on television.

The Arrowverse includes six CW TV series and two CW Seed webseries, all of which are set in a shared universe with interconnected settings and common plot elements. Its television series include Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman, and web series featuring Vixen and Freedom Fighters: The Ray.

While most series characters have their own stories to tell on their respective TV series, part of the appeal of the Arrowverse is that each season fans could expect a crossover episode featuring many of their characters in a single, combined storyline.

Now that we no longer look forward to new Arrowverse episodes, which of their signature crossover events was your favorite one?

FYI, I am noticing Wikipedia lists three additional "official" crossover events over the Arrowverse Wikia. The final Flash episode is one of them. I detailed them below. #https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrowverse#

@urbanemovies​ I only added the official event crossovers, as listed on your first image from the Arrowverse wiki.

While characters from the series appeared in many other episodes, including Duet and World Finest, they were not official events series-wide events. The same link you added lists over 30 such episodes, with guest stars from other shows, but they all fall out of the scope.

I added Crossover events to the question to make this clearer.

@Pencho15​ I agree, if the difference between a "crossover" and "official crossover" is it series-wide. But, I think it is clearer if you use the term "series-wide" instead of "official", as it is easier to understand the scope for those not Arrowverse educated. I am not an active watcher of the show, so people like me even need an explaination what a crossover is and that it applies to entire episodes. I would try to use the terms crossover events and crossover episodes both at least once for clarity.

@Pencho15, I would suggest these two word substitutions.

Beginning in 2012 with the release of Arrow (2012), it became one of the most successful superhero media franchises on television and it showcases an interconnected shared universe featuring many DC Comics superheroes.
