New Superman & Lois Lane series for CW?

[Kyphael]

Hopefully not the CW, as I would rather Superman actually be a man and Lois know what gender she is, without Luthor showing up confused as to which of those two he is secretly in love with.

Spoiler alert: He's actually in love with Krypto: The Super Dog.

Is Titans even good? I haven't seen it.

It’s a lot better than I ever expected it to be. Very dark, and they’ve made some weird story choices. If you can move past this not being the Teen Titans of the comics it’s worth a watch. Takes a few episodes to get going though.

Doom Patrol though, Doom Patrol may be the best thing on TV.

OMG I'm laughing and crying at the same time, this is both hilarious and hits way too close to reality at the same time.

The Flash has consistently been their best show. Grant Gustin is also a much better Flash than the cinematic version.

That bar is so low it's indistinguishable from the floor my man.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I'll..try to see how it goes but nothing beats Smallville for me. Also the CW is decent its not Marvel quality but then again I did watch Thor Ragnarok and that was "ok" by my standards.

Ezra wasn't the problem. The problem, other than that the movie was garbage, was that Flash was written as the stupid sidekick comic relief character rather than as a hero in his own right. Even his big hero moment at the end where he saves one family is played off as a big joke when Superman saves an entire building of people at the same time.

Lois Lane has always been a career oriented women and she's always bossed Clark around...because the persona of Clark Kent is a "Mild-Mannered Reporter". Also, "belligerent" and "shy" are kind of antonyms.



Jimmy Olsen already exists in the Arrowverse... and he's black. I'm sure that makes you almost as mad though. His sister is a lesbian too...so you can be extra mad.

Indeed Ezra wasn't the problem, although I found the Flash one of the coolest characters and more fun becuase he wasn't all Grrrr and serious like the rest, while having a bit of spunk too. I figured correctly that he is Barry Allen before he is known as the Flash, and actually comes out as the Flash in that movie, so he's not going to be all super polished and awesome like the other heroes who at that stage have been in full swing much longer.

Let's just say we have different tastes.

was not mad at Supergirl Jimmy Olson being black at all, found it strange given that he isusally a skinny, nerdish white guy, and we get a hunk of a black man playiing him, but firs season supergirl while not my favourite was in another league to how the show went when it crossed over to the CW, where it the feminism and lesbianism is just stupid ridiculous, peddling false fanasies, false allegories of real life situations which just end up making them look even more silly.. but hten it's a fantasy show. FOr what it's worth I liked Melissa and quite liked Mon'el too.

But the socio-political agenda and shoving down our throats was very cringe worthy. The new season is even more fail.. that line where she gloas over having pants.. wow how pathetic can they get - women are portrayed as only being happy and fitting when they are behaving and acting outexactly like men, as if society's male standard is some holy grail for women to strive for rather than being themselves.

If you want an example of a great female heroine done right, go watch Star Trek Discovery's lead, and let's cut all the crap imitation in Arrowverse with the feminist lesbian agenda so blatant in Supergirl and Batwoman. So off putting and nothing to be proud of to be just like a man.

So you didn't like Seasons 2 and 3 with Zoom and Savitar? Because those were awesome. It's Season 4 that started to go downhill with The Thinker and then Cicada in Season 6 was horrible.

The only time Flash is ever good is when reverse Flash is on screen, or is the antagonist. Zoom was good up until he took the mask off. Savitar was stupid from episode 1 of S3. Not only was their version of Flashpoint really dumb, but the set up for it all was also dumb. S4 and S5 were both terrible. Iris West is a horribly written character.

Arrow has been hit or miss, the last good season was Season 4 with Damien Darhk. Prometheus was pretty forgettable in Season 5 and a far cry from the source material.

Pretty unpopular opinion. Most (including myself) like S5. I like S2 as well. S3 was awful. S4 was just okay. Never bothered with S6 or S7.

It’s a lot better than I ever expected it to be. Very dark, and they’ve made some weird story choices. If you can move past this not being the Teen Titans of the comics it’s worth a watch. Takes a few episodes to get going though.

I'd argue S2 is when it actually gets good. S1 is bad. Trigon was treated like trash, and it was edgy for edginess' sake. S2 seems to have gotten better at how it handles dark themes.

[Highelf]

Knowing the CW, it'll have superman and lois lanes roles reversed...

[Jotaux]

Ezra Miller was more of a Wally west then a Barry Allen.

Titans gets fun in the second half of the first season as long as you don't think of it as a Teen Titans show. It's definitely not great, but it's fun enough to hold interest.

Time to get Dean Cain and Terri Hatcher out of retirement.

Dean Cain plays Supergirls foster dad in the show,Teri Hatcher played a psychotic alien queen who tried to kill Supergirl.

Oh yeah? That's pretty cool. Never seen it obviously, but I'm glad they added those two to the cast.

[DTJames]

You'll be happy to know Tom Welling is coming back as Superman for this year's Crisis on Infinite Earths then.

HE WHAT?

Holy shit that's going be awesome.

[Lanrefni]

I watched the first 2 seasons,they use a lot of the prior actors in the roles as villains/heroes.

This is when I play to nostalgic purist card and say the one and true CW Superman is the one from Smallville.

Thank you... didn't want to be the first to say it.

[Nellise]

Thank you... didn't want to be the first to say it.

Tyler Hoechlin has been good as Superman on Supergirl. It's obviously a different take than Smallville though since Clark was never "Superman" in it. People know Superman in this Universe, Smallville hid him for most of its run.

Tyler has done a fine job... but my CW Clark will always be Tom.

As far as superman and lois goes, its hard for me to tell. Supergirl really toom things on an openly and blatant liberal way and to some extent that took some courage (although, in this age, not nearly as much as before). I respect that even if it made me cringe at times.

I seriously liked the handful of episodes that centered around the Luthors. The show shined when it remembered the 3 Hs that made Flash such a delight: Heart, Humor and Heroics. They did butcher Red Son and I will never forgive that XD.

Hopefully they will try to have less of an agenda and just go back to making great super hero shows.

If by Liberal you mean the overly dominant fem tones, that's not going away, that is across board for the CW shows. Expect no different here.

Apparently the show is going to focus on the couples as parents juggling the usual stresses and emergencies. How old the child is going to be is unknown though. A teenage son would have been good, but unlikely since he is male, he would be a baby where gender is not that visible.

I'm surprised they didn't give them a daughter though, with Arrow going and switching to female centric new show, the Batwoman, Supergirl, Legends also being female centric, I expect Lois & Superman to follow the trend. With the flash being the only male lead show of them simply because it started in a period that this current trend hadn't quite picked up yet. Now that it has, expect a female centric show. Only thing is girls aren't into this sort of thing as much as boys are, so it is a bit puzzling, but their network, and nobody forces anyone to watch it if they don't like it (minus subliminal messaging and similar techniques ofc)

Well more news about it came from this tweet:




It would appear that, somehow Lois and Clark are going to be parents, and the son is not going to be a baby, but a teenager, and it seems he has a rival/best friend .. like Lex Luthor in the old smallville.

Now we've seen this card play if you watched Smallville, but I hope they do a Lena Luthor with Ethan and don't essentially turn him into Lex 2.0... however I know the focus is not going to be on the superhero/villains, but more on the human life side of the family.


Okay.. it is interesting that the 2 characters are definitely MALE and they are both CAUCASIAN which is very surprising for the CW, because you have 3 males, and 4 Caucasians as the main cast.

So where is the liberal diversity going to come in? I reckon either one of the boys is going to be LGBTQ or both of them are. However I would be UTTERLY SHOCKED, and quite pleased if they end up being straight, cos believe it or not, this would actually be unconventional and noteworthy, especially for the CW.

We shall see though.
