Superman
Please let this happen.
They found another great actor to replace Welling. In fact, he's better than Welling and it's not just me saying it. He might be the best since Reeves.
Tyler as Superman might be the best
How the “Elseworlds” Crossover Makes the Case for a Superman CW Series
I would be down for a Superman series. I like the CW version and think they've done a good job with his character. Plus, we can skip the whole origin bit and get to the good parts, as people are already very much familiar with who Superman is at this point (even the wider audience know his origins well by now), and this version has been around for a while.
The DC animated movies are also pretty good for the most part. Even the lower quality ones are still generally an entertaining enough way to kill 90 minutes or so. I would say that very few of those are genuinely bad.
I'm also hoping Titans season 1 ends on a strong note. I found that one to be a pleasant surprise after the trailers initially left me somewhat skeptical.
Yeah ive seen that, and massive overreaction.
Spoilers for Elseworlds below:
Against Amazo it was Superman they sent for the initial kill blow. Then when he was actually defeated Superman and Supergirl played equal parts in holding him.
The Black suited Superman only began beating the real Superman by putting civilians at risk.
And neither was Supergirl shown to be > Black suited Superman as their eye beam blasts seemed equal.
Talk about the character portrayal or how good the story was, not about a little bit of jobbing to Supergirl on Supergirls own show.
Also they seemed to big up Batman quite a bit with Oliver being intimidated by the idea that he might actually be real. And that was in the Arrow episode.
Could tell how he felt just by the video title, and I don't blame him to a point, but yeah, I don't think Superman's had it that bad in the CWverse so far. One can still interpret his speech to Kara in the Supergirl S2 finale (saying she's better than him and such) as him just trying to make her feel better about herself after the whole ordeal, but regardless of whose really slightly stronger /has the edge here, the writers clearly respect both characters.
Now please validate the optimism for Tyler's Superman and give him a show already.

Remember when Odin tells Thor in Ragnarok that Thor is the stronger of the two? Dont remember anyone taking that so damn literally. (Quan doesnt count).
SMs reasoning was simple, that he feels safe leaving Earth whilst there is another Kryptonian he trusts to protect his home planet.
Superman is as humble as they come, but his dialogue in Supergirl was overkill imo. There was no nuance to it at all.
Even with that said though, I'm not sure Superman would really work as a CW type show. Supergirl's show absolutely gutted Superman's supporting cast, and I'm not just talking about villains either.
I'm not saying it can't be done; just that I'm not sure it could be done well.
I don't think they were aiming for naunce. 🙂
He was a hamfisted response to Man of Steel, and they piled on the schlocky dialogue.
I personally liked it. But it's definitely not something you want from a main character.
If they were smart, they'd try and hammer out a Batman/Batgirl show, as a sequel to Gotham. Then you can have a reason for Superman to make more cameo's then just Supergirl.
None of what you said, even if true, makes me want to see their version of Superman any more than I have already. I mean, sure, it would be nice to see Superman not written by those people, but it's still the CW.
Batman... I mean, Oliver Queen is basically a less-charming Bruce Wayne at this point, but then, again, I doubt the CW cares about being redundant.

It would be cool, though people are speculating about next years cross over event: Crisis On Infinite Earths. In the comics Supergirl dies, some are speculating that in this version it will be Superman that dies since she is the one with the show.
If they are gonna do a Superman show I'd say wait for Supergirl to end first. Or wait for Arrow to end since that seems to be the longest running DC show currently on the CW. They already have 4 DC superhero shows...I'd say wait until a slot opens.
Like the message of hope the trailer had there. 🙂 After Stargirl I can give this the benefit of a doubt.

All the downvotes came from Zack Snyder sock accounts. 😄
