Why are The Legends Out of the Crossover? – Keto Shimizu recently revealed why Legends of Tomorrow are not involved in the Batwoman crossover this year, saying;

Tonally, we are so different from those other shows at this point, it’s hard to jump back into that world with the other Arrowverse shows. And we did it last year and it was of course this gargantuan production and pre-production.  For four shows to do that again and to try and make it bigger than last time, I just don’t think it’s possible. I think the crossovers are going to be a lot different in general than what we’ve seen.
