Batwoman's involvement in Crisis Arc
According to Meaww.com, Barry's disappearance on April 25, 2024, is traced back in the season 5 premiere wherein Nora showed him another future article revealing that it was almost 25 years since he disappeared from Central City.
Nora's article also showed other key information revealing a huge battle between the heroes and Reverse-Flash's army of shadow demons.
Several Arrowverse heroes are mentioned in the article such as Green Arrow, Elongated Man, The Atom, Supergirl, and Batwoman. The battle ensued when the blue skies turned red as the Flash disappeared from the city.

The article also revealed that Kate Kane exists in the same Earth as Barry and Oliver Queen. The CW Network previously revealed Ruby Rose's Batwoman costume which mirrors the exact look of her character in the comics.
