'Crisis on Infinite Earths' could see 'Black Lightning' become a bigger part of the Arrowverse
If The CW's version of 'Crisis' does pull off something similar to the comics, it could bring 'Black Lightning' to the same universe as 'The Flash' and 'Supergirl'. This would be a welcome shift for the series as it would help add more locales to the show's world
'Black Lightning' Season 3 could use Grace Choi's Amazon comic book origin to introduce the warrior women into the Arrowverse

'Black Lightning' Season 3 could see ASA manipulate the Pierce family into capturing Markovia's metahuman army
The A.S.A. has quite a complicated history with metahumans on the show. The previous seasons of the show revealed that the A.S.A. is responsible for the high number of metahumans who have popped up in Freeland and that they have been keeping a number of them in stasis, some for as long as 30 years

'Black Lightning' Season 3 may see Tobias Whale released by the A.S.A to fight the Markovian invasion but he could cause more harm than good
Considering the dire nature of the threat posed by Markovia, it is likely that Odell might bring Tobias out of imprisonment and unleash him on the foreign enemies. However, Whale isn’t likely to make a very dependable weapon, as he would definitely use any chance at freedom to try and exact revenge.
'Black Lightning' Season 3 may see Jennifer Pierce truly come into her own as a hero even as she faces more heartbreak than ever before

'Black Lightning' Season 3 will have very little to do with 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' but Jefferson has his own crisis to deal with at home
