Well as far as synopses go, these are three of the biggest we've ever seen in both length and in description! The Crisis on Infinite Earths is at hand and now we are getting our first idea just what is going to happen. Despite everything that Lena and Kara have been through, is sounds like they will have to put whatever divides them aside as Earth 38 is in immediate danger! J'onn must devise a plan to save them all, could Ma'alefa'ak be the key? Check out all the synopses below:
THE KICKOFF TO THE EPIC TELEVISON CROSSOVER EVENT, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS - The Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett) sends Harbinger (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) to gather the worlds’ greatest heroes - Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin), Green Arrow (guest star Stephen Amell), Batwoman (guest star Ruby Rose), White Canary (guest star Caity Lotz), The Atom (guest star Brandon Routh) and Superman (guest star Tyler Hoechlin) - in preparation for the impending Crisis. With their worlds in imminent danger, the superheroes suit up for battle while J’onn (David Harewood) and Alex (Chyler Leigh) recruit Lena (Katie McGrath) to help them find a way to save the people of Earth-38. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Robert Rovner & Marc Guggenheim and teleplay by Derek Simon & Jay Faerber (#509).
CAN THE REAL CLARK KENT PLEASE STAND UP? PART TWO OF CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS CONTINUES WITH SPECIAL GUEST STARS TOM WELLING, ERICA DURANCE AND KEVIN CONROY – The group uses Ray’s (guest star Brandon Routh) invention to track new recruits to help save the universe. The Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett) sends Iris (guest star Candice Patton), Clark (guest star Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois (guest star Elizabeth Tulloch) in search of a mysterious Kryptonian, while Kate (Ruby Rose) and Kara (guest star Melissa Benoist) head out to find Bruce Wayne (guest star Kevin Conroy). In addition, Mia (guest star Katherine McNamara) challenges Sara (guest star Caity Lotz), Rory (guest star Dominic Purcell) discovers a hidden talent, and Lex Luthor (guest star Jon Cryer) returns. Laura Belsey directed the episode written by Don Whitehead and Holly Henderson (#108). Original airdate 12/9/2019.
BLACK LIGHTNING JOINS THE ARROWVERSE IN THE THIRD CHAPTER OF THE CROSSOVER – Pariah (Tom Cavanagh) enlists Black Lightning (guest star Cress Williams) to help stop the Anti-Monitor (guest star LaMonica Garrett) after Flash-90 (guest star John Wesley Shipp) shares what he learned from his battle in ‘Elseworlds.’ With the help of Black Lightning, Barry (Grant Gustin), Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) come up with a plan that could save them all. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) has a heart-to-heart with Ryan Choi (guest star Osric Chau), while Oliver (guest star Stephen Amell) and Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) return to an old familiar stomping ground. David McWhirter directed the episode with story by Eric Wallace and teleplay by Lauren Certo & Sterling Gates (#609). Original airdate 12/10/2019.

"However, Sky has not managed to acquire the rights to broadcast Batwoman… This is due to them having been already acquired by “another party”, but they do not know who has acquired those rights and do not know where or how the series will be broadcast in the UK.
There were some stories going around saying Sky weren’t broadcasting the crisis event at all. Those stories are incorrect. They are, however, holding the 4 crossover episodes they do have until early 2020."
Still uncertainty but now we have to wait until the new year. The only positive spin I can think of is either they use the time to negotiate further or give another broadcaster the time to catch up (assuming everyone has access to the other broadcaster). However going by previous years it's not unusual for Sky to start the second half of the seasons in March/April.
I know some have a preference for watching certain shows but may not watch others and that's a mater of personal choice. Whereas although Supergirl is my favourite, I watch and like all that are available to me.
Quoting Romulus:
I think we would have heard by now if she was in it, other than mom Danvers. And we've seen nothing that even has her in it in that role.
Not a huge fan of crossovers and haven't been anticipating this as much as many, but d**n, this got my attention!
A new trailer has popped up about the crossover...AND THIS ONE IS HEARTPOUNDING

Just like Supergirl isn't mentioned in part 3 but her cousin and his ither earth doppelganger are...
Any word on Helen Slater's Supergirl or Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman? The latter will send fans into overdrive. I keep thinking The Legion could pop up from the future with President Danvers (Helen).
I'm also a little surprised J'onn wasnt mentioned as one of the world's greatest superheroes being assembled as he is far more powerful than several listed.
I am so looking forward to TWoRK and Crisis. Totally giddy... LOL!
You would be correct as it applies to Western Europe, the UK and Ireland. However, Eastern Europe and elsewhere are other matters altogether.
So, it's likely to be, as you pointed out, the highest bidder (and not Sky) that won it but have not yet decided to advertise or air the episodes. An unusual move, yes, but nothing in today's world makes logical sense. It's possible that they (whomever it might be) will begin to air the show in the New Year. Anything's possible.
Nonetheless, the COIE recaps will have to suffice since I, like you, will only be watching certain parts of the crossover and not each individual show. I'll tune in for SG and BW, will get the recap for the Flash, and may/may not watch Arrow and LOT, since they're not top priority shows on my list. Naturally, your viewing preferences will vary.
Now, back to the overall topic at hand.
The latest according to geektown.co.uk dated way back on 17 October 2019 is:
"However, Sky has not managed to acquire the rights to broadcast Batwoman… This is due to them having been already acquired by “another party”, but they do not know who has acquired those rights and do not know where or how the series will be broadcast in the UK."
This would suggest Batwoman could have gone to the highest bidder, not Sky. To the detriment of the non-American fans I don't think the networks care about ratings outside of North America and sell broadcast rights to whomever offers more cash.
As to why an alternative broadcaster hasn't even advertised yet? It's odd.
