I feel like season 2 (and to an extent season 3) balanced the tones better and that's when Legends started getting more popular.
And that annoys me. Like, it really felt bad when it happened during Crisis and almost like they were belittling the whole thing. Like they're somehow above/better than it.Even the show itself makes fun of this when the characters say they hate crossovers...
I don't think anything major in Batwoman contradicts the wider Arrowverse that much.This is not a Legends specific issue, the writers generally didn't care much about the shared universe aside from crossovers once it branched out from being just Arrow and Flash. Batwoman and Black Lightning had some damn stupid storylines that completely disregarded the wider Arrowverse.
