With the new year underway, The CW's "Arrowverse" is waking from its long winter's nap to the start of some major changes. Only episodes remaining, Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil – making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse". Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman continues solidifying her role in the changing universe, as well as developing a "World's Finest" relationship with Supergirl and expanding the Batman mythos in CW's DCU. With "Crisis on Infinite Earths" unleashed, expect even more dramatic changes – including the addition of Black Lightning and DC's Legends of Tomorrow as well as new pilots Superman & Lois and Green Arrow and the Canaries.
But before a new "Arrowverse" can be born, we need to finish making a few "changes" to the multiverse we kinda-sorta still have – which is exactly what will happen when our heroes look to "Take Back the Worlds" as the mega crossover concludes with a double-header of Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow on Tuesday, January 14.
For our friends in the UK, the adventures of Kate Kane aka Batwoman have been a bit of a mystery since it premiered – due to the lack of broadcast rights. Not the case with Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow – all available via Comcast-owned digital channel Sky One, which means there's a blank spot in the middle of its "Crisis" broadcasts.
Now thanks to Bleeding Cool's own Rich Johnston and his reporting from Channel 4's 2020 programming breakfast/event, we've learned that Batwoman will air on television channel E4. The Channel 4-owned network is also the broadcast home to American television series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, RuPaul's Drag Race, and more; and UK shows like Skins, Misfits, The Inbetweeners, and more.
The CW also released a very Anti-Monitor-focused official poster for the two-part finale – though our biggest takeaway? Stephen Amell's Ollie as… Green Spectre? Following that, The CW is also giving us a look at some paired-up character profile posters for the battle still to come…

Meanwhile… back at the Vanishing Point… our heroes vow not to fail as the battle reaches its final – which is a good thing because otherwise? The CW's going to have a lot of weekly programming slots to fill:
