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.
It's just a one time thing as an homage to his first appearance.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 !
This Lex mentioned his world was gone so probably his he survived crisis, but his earth was destroyed.
That was my first thought as wellWe 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.
Oh word?!I just realized that Tyler voices Sephiroth in the FFVII Remake lol. Thats fucking cool. Dude is awesome.

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!So yeah, there's currently a discourse on Twitter about this whole Superman thing.

brb, picturing Sephiroth with that ass.

It is pretty standalone, at least the pilot is.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?
Just blame Crisis
I'm confused where this fits in the Arrowverse? Last time we saw them wasn't Lois still pregnant or she was about to give birth? How are the kids teens already?
I rather enjoyed it though. I hope the teen drama doesn't overtake the show too much.
He is a million times better than Cavill.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.
Would bet good money it's Alexander.We also don't know for sure if he's "Lex" and not another Luthor.

"Thanks, my mom made it for me" is such a perfect Superman line.

In a recent interview, EW asked Todd Helbing if the good Captain's first name was even Lex? While the producer declined to answer that question, he shared that viewers should expect to see something very different from Cryer's performance and character.
"What Jon Cryer does on Supergirl is awesome and I think the way they presented this version of Lex Luthor is fantastic, and we wanted to present a villain or an adversary to Superman at the beginning that just felt different and threatening, but could also lead us in ways that you can't necessarily go with like a Jon Cryer version of it," Helbing told EW. "So, all I'll really say is you're really going to get this guy's backstory, where he's from, what he was like, where he comes from, his professional life, his personal life. You're gonna get to know why he's going after Superman. Once you understand his motivation, it's like what Wolé said at TCAs: It's like every villain is the hero of their own story. It's true. Once you start to understand who this guy is and what his motivations are, I think people are going to look at him differently."
That being said, Captain Luthor did shed some light on his origins during his brutal brawl with Superman (Hoechlin) in the pilot. "I know everything there is to know about the Last Son of Krypton. Where I come from, let's just say, the two of us have history," Luthor tells Superman in the episode. "My world was destroyed, but somehow I managed to survive. I eventually arrived here and I learned you are here, too."
It sure sounds like Luthor is talking about the events of last year's crossover "Crisis on Infinite Earths," which destroyed every planet in the multiverse. When EW asked Helbing if Luthor's presence on Earth-Prime had anything to do with "Crisis," he said, "Yes," with a laugh, and didn't elaborate any further.
Supergirl introduced him well alsoThey completely nailed Superman's character in fifteen seconds. Was that SO HARD???
Season 4 was the only good season of it imo.This whet my appetite for some Supes TV. Is Supergirl any good?
I wonder what the show will look like when they inevitably slash the budget.
I watched it back in the days. It was indeed good.If you can deal with a bit of cheese and being "outdated" Lois and Clark is really good.

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.I watched it back in the days. It was indeed good.
So Supergirl is a skip then?
They really nailed this scene.
Have they hired an actor yet for Luthor or is this a place holder?
