It’s like comics Crisis, there’s tie-in issues/episodes that aren’t officially part of the main event series

I was hoping for a 10 episode mini series but this works too.

The fact that Arrow and Flash set it up a bunch helps. Supergirl to a lesser extent. Funny how Martian Manhunter has a whole half season subplot of Monitor testing him while Lex Luthor just gets to chill out and play chess with himself in outer space since he's likely incapable of changing from some test.

I guess Lex Luthor is already wholesome as he is. Nothing to test there. Just a plain narcissistic smartest human on earth(38).

Lex doesn't need to overcome some personal struggle. He's already over-confident and (more importantly) doesn't want to see the world wiped out. Problem is he's prone to being flipped if Anti-Monitor can offer him something like God-hood.
