"Superman & Lois" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Frontier]

I thought this was already the case, but Superman & Lois was picked up for a full series.

Who would have thought we would ever see Superman and Supergirl airing together on their own shows ?

I wonder if this means that Supergirl will have to stop poaching Superman's villains?

Who's even left to poach? Bruno Mannheim and Mongul?

Super hard pass unless they get some better writing and a few other things. I loved the DCTV stuff back when they were starting out (Arrow 1-2 Flash 1-2 were really cool, felt pretty epic for TV,) plus they just had less weird SJW/PC politically driven weirdness.
I of course would love a Superman series (*Almost always want more Superman,) but the casting for Lois just doesn’t fit to me, (and so far I’m not too impressed with Hoechlin as Supes.) Maybe it’s the writing and the fact he’s not as big a build, Height, and toughness as recent or past portrayals. Again, maybe it’s mostly due to poor writing, but he just doesn’t have have the feel of SM to me. *He falls quite a bit short compared to most everyone Elise; Cain, Reeves, Reeve, Cavill, Newbern, Daly, Welling, & Routh, IMO.

I’d love this show if he got a tad bigger, was a bit more commanding in his performance & presence, the biggest thing would be the writers/creators making the series have a bit serious tone like Arrow 1-2 had. Like MOS for TV.
*But that’s just my $0.2.

kallum.

They haven't done Brainac yet either.

Imperiex?

Imperiex?

They teased the former as a threat in the Legion's future, right? Eh, I suppose. I didn't care for that other Brainiac they did early in the series.

Are you talking about Indigo? I guess she was a female Brainiac...but other then Brainac 5, I don't think they mentioned Brainiac 1 .

Yeah, Indigo. I could have sworn the reason Schott went with the Legion was to fight Brainiac 1. My bad.

No, you're right about why Winn went back to the future. That was my bad .

EDIT 1/15: Apparent leak of the new Superman suit for the pilot:

Maybe it's just me, but "chills" generally doesn't lend to a positive connotation .

I think it’s just you. It means someone is excited.

I like that suit way more than what's been used so far. It's still missing something though.

I think I would rather this Superman show be a "prequel" and take place before all the other CW shows. Right from the start establish that the show is in the post Crisis Earth Prime continuity, and we get to actually see the changes made to previously seen events instead of just hearing about it or having our main characters go "huh?" in all the other shows. If we see new events ourselves, the other shows won't have to waste time explaining things while our characters go "huh?". Just carry on like normal, the characters are all caught up to speed. Let the viewer go "huh?" and then tune into the Superman Lois show to see the "huh?" moment explained.

Have they ever touched on Steel, or are we just stuck with Shaq's version?

Good catch, I think the only Steel in live action are the Heywoods on Legends. I can't think of any live action John Henry except Shaq's movie...

 

[the greenman]

Wouldn't mind Terry Crews or even Mike Colter stepping into that.

New alleged details from the pilot script: the two children are Jonathan and Jordan Kent (the latter is created for the show), neither son knows their dad is Superman, sons may or may not have his powers, Lois still working at Daily Planet but Clark got laid off, Lana Lang is a banker in Smallville with two daughters but a not so good marriage to a man named Kyle Cushing, Martha is alive but Jonathan isn't, General Lane knows Superman's secret identity and an enemy named "The Stranger" is introduced and his identity is revealed at the end of the episode.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin join the cast as Jonathan and Jordan, respectively.

Elsass and Garfin will play Clark/Superman (Hoechlin) and Lois’ (Tulloch) teenage sons, Jonathan and Jordan, who are believed to be twins.

Elsass’ Jonathan is clean-cut, modest and kind-hearted, with an aw-shucks attitude that somehow doesn’t seem dated. Garfin’s Jordan is wildly intelligent, but his mercurial temperament and social anxiety limits his interactions with people, and consequently, Jordan prefers to spend most of his free time alone, playing video games.

 

[rggkjg1]

Sighhhhhhhhh. I don't think I would mind if they kept Lois and Clark's kids infants (like we last saw them), but making them teenagers doesn't sound like a good idea at all, and I won't be surprised if that ends up being the weakest part of the entire show. It also sounds like there is enough family drama going on that there isn't a need for even more with teenage sons. Please write them off the show and use the Legion Of Super-Heroes to explain their absence.

 

[TnAdct1]

The main question that has to be asked now: which of Superman's sons will eventually become a whiny supervillain who kills people to death?

 

[Yojimbo]

2/5: Some more alleged details about the cast.

2/17: Morgan Edge will reportedly be the one who buys the Daily Planet but it's unknown if Pasdar reprises the role or someone else will take over.

It's also rumored

Martha Kent

dies in the pilot.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Kind of a minor point, Tulloch posted a first look at the script. It's only the cover to the script but it shows the pilot is written by Todd Helbing, from a story by him and Berlanti, and directed by Lee Toland Krieger.
