Elseworlds: The Prelude To Crisis Edition

Fantastic production values- thoroughly enjoyed it!

Bionic Bob delivers on this 3 part tv Arrowverse crossover.
The video was great, all visuals remained clear throughout.
The audio was clear for the most part, except for one small part and this may have been done by the original tv audio. Some of the early audio when they arrive in Gotham City felt a bit low in my audio equipment (of course, my audio equipment is a 10 plus year 5.1 home theatre in a box, so make of that what you will). It's only a minor nitpick. Everything else felt clear. No channel reversals detected. Characters talking were always understood, sound fx always had just the right omph.
The edit itself was well done. I did not feel like I was missing anything. No strange hard cuts, every shot naturally moved on from the previous one. Not having watched the originals in 5 years, I could not remember when everyone was introduced as the story progressed, but if the main 3 (Flash, Arrow, Supergirl) introductions changed compared to the original tv edit, in this edit, they were always introduced at the right time. While I initially thought that some subplots should be removed, like Arrow & Felicity having relationship issues, their meeting up later on justified keeping that in. Good eye on that. If corny jokes were removed, I did not detect it. Thank you though, for keeping the corniest joke when the Grant Gustin really really hams it up. That joke was just too good and had to be kept in.
One final positive item: my wife, who is not a superhero fan, watched this with me and her reaction was also very positive, so the edit succeeded in not only getting fans to appreciate this, but also non fans.

Really well done. Well put together and a really high quality edit of this CW crossover. The story flowed well and was kept tight, which I felt ultimately improved the enjoyment and narrative here.

This cut was absolutely phenomenal. BionicBob did a fantastic job sewing together what I assume was a hot mess of a TV show. I never bothered finishing any of the Arrowverse shows because they were too drama heavy and often felt like a soap opera more-so than a comic book series. Bionicbob fixed that, and created a viewing experience that feels like a really great movie. Thank you kindly, Bionicbob! Now I can finally enjoy all of the DC TV content in the best way possible. :)

This is another very solid superhero edit from the ever reliable Bionic Bob. The differences here have certainly improved the pacing of what was already a very long story - for example, I never for once felt the story drag here, with more or less every scene having some weight of importance to it. Sure, there's still plenty of time for some moments of light relief (after all, who wants a 100% deadly serious Arrowverse show), but none of them feel particularly superfluous.

Admittedly, I'm a bit late to the game on this one, but I really admire the hard work that Bob has gone to in presenting his version of the Crisis storyline, and this verision of Elseworlds certainly acts as the perfect prelude. It really makes you want to start watching is Countdown to Crisis edits immediately afterwards. Coming from someone like me who can easily suffer from superhero fatigue, that's meant as a huge compliment.

On the technical side it's nearly 100% perfect. I did notice a couple of scenes where audio levels did vary - i.e. one scene suddenly has slightly louder dialogue. It's no big deal at all though, and things quickly correct themselves. Bob did an awesome job with the cropping and zooming in to remove the title cards and episode credits. It was so good on my 55 inch TV that I had to check with him to make sure he hadn't discovered an amazing editing tool which could remove titles, but no, it was just skillful cropping.

All in all, an extremely entertaining 2 hours and I feel suitably pumped and excited to enter the Countdown to Crisis! Highly recommended.
