So yeah, there's currently a discourse on Twitter about this whole Superman thing. People think Hoechlin gets the character right, which is why Cavill is trending of course.

Whats the deal with that Fleisher costume? Will he always have that or does he switch up?
Beacuse if its the former - I'm totally in !

It's just a one time thing as an homage to his first appearance.
So Im sure they will probably drop the concept but Im guessing this Luthor figured out how to fix the whole doppelganger problem the show had where doppelgangers couldnt survive long on one earth?
This Lex mentioned his world was gone so probably his he survived crisis, but his earth was destroyed.
We also don't know for sure if he's "Lex" and not another Luthor.
Honestly, considering the way he's acting, I wouldn't be surprised if he's meant to be Alexander Luthor Jr. (the Infinite Crisis guy), rather than Lex specifically.

Yeah I think it's something to do with Viacom having stakes in the CW and the game or something
Well I'd argue his performance suffered in large parts from the writing and direction. Dude can be charming as fuck and not giving him another shot at it with a different writer/director is a waste of incredible casting. But, yes, Hoechlin should get lots of praise of course!
This is so great, love it! I really need to check out this show (and figure out how I can do it in Germany...).
That's so cool!
I'm sure this has been answered in this thread already, but does one need experience with the Arrowverse to get into this? Or is it pretty much a standalone thing?
It is pretty standalone, at least the pilot is.
I enjoyed the it, didn't feel too much like an Arrowverse show, though I expect the budget to be down after the pilot.
I wonder what the show will look like when they inevitably slash the budget. Even episode 2 I bet will have far fewer location shots and much simpler camera setups, but another budget slash later on is inevitable if it gets renewed. It definitely was a strong pilot though. I think Kristin Kreuk was a better Lana and the golden boy kid has such a stupid face, but I enjoyed basically everything else.
I went from indifferent before the clip to really wanting to watch the show after it.
I've watched it like 10 times in a row now.
Yep. George Newbern, who voiced Superman in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited.

I think you skipped a crossover. Last time we saw Lois, she had already given birth to a child and they were raising him on Argo.
However, in the post-Crisis universe, she gave birth years earlier and to two kids.
Really liked it. They pretty much had me after the montage at the beginning.
I hope they can keep this budget up. In a small production video the producers were saying that this show will have more of a movie feel with better effects etc.
We'll see. Don't really like the Arrow universe stuff, but I really liked Smallville back in the day and this seems to have the same vibe.

How 'Superman & Lois' brings the Man of Steel mythos down to earth — and into a new era
Superman & Lois's Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, and Todd Helbing preview season 1's Kent family drama, Supergirl connections, and more.
For what it's worth, they're being cagey on saying what his first name is and they confirm that it's related to Crisis. PlanetSmasher could be onto something.

Does this mean he's going to make out with Clark at some point despite little to no build-up of a romance?
Ep was good .
Having 2 sons so one can have powers and the other don't could leading to some annoying writing .
I just hope it done okay if they going to keep it that way for a while or permanently.
Same for some other aspects with the kids but supes and lois good so far .

Supergirl introduced him well also
TV seems to get Superman, movies don't anymore
Season 4 was the only good season of it imo.
If you can deal with a bit of cheese and being "outdated" Lois and Clark is really good.
We don't get enough references to "Superman for All Seasons."
As someone who regularly cites The Long Halloween as my favorite Batman story, I really need to get around to finally reading Superman For All Seasons.
They really nailed this scene.
Have they hired an actor yet for Luthor or is this a place holder?
Apparently HBO are partially funding the show, and the FX house that's doing the show also worked on the Marvel shows (WandaVision, Falcon, Loki).
So here's hoping.

I watched it back in the days. It was indeed good.
So Supergirl is a skip then?

Supergirl is good but it goes up and down quite a bit much like Smallville. However, it doesn't hit the highest highs that Smallville does.
Season 1 is a solid/fun start. Season 2 is better, especially thanks to the introduction of Mon-El and Lena Luthor. Season 3 is a mixed bag. I recently rewatched it and the first half is actually way better than I remember but the second half falls apart.
Season 4 is legitimately great. It clearly bounces off of what was happening at the time with the Trump administration and overall does a very good job. That's when they introduce Jon Cryer's fantastic Lex Luthor and a number of other awesome characters (Dreamer, Manchester Black, Agent Liberty). It's one of my favorite Arrowverse seasons.
Unfortunately, it was followed up by season 5, which I feel is widely regarded as its worst. This is mainly due to some incredibly forced drama between two characters that is drawn out way too long and an uninteresting season-long arc. It does rebound with a string of solid episodes after Crisis (including a better 100th episode than what The Flash).
My hope is that they rebound for its upcoming final season.
It's worth watching. Just know it can be rough at times.
It's not amazing but Benoist is a good Supergirl. Definitely some heart to it. Also has my favorite pissed heat vision shot in all of Superman/kryptonian live-action.

He's been cast!
