While the show does exist in the same multiverse (like virtually all DC TV/movie properties do at this point), I haven't seen anything confirming that this Superman is actually the one from the previous shows. I personally view them as somewhat separate, as there are a couple of background/history differences between the two. They could potentially be the same character and it might be the case that the events of Crisis just changed a lot of stuff, or alternatively it's a soft reboot of the same Superman. But for the purposes of this thread, the OP said he gets feats from all his appearances, so it doesn't really matter in this specific instance.

Yeah I get the OP. Was just confirming as I heard theres no real connection aside from being the same actors playing Superman and Lois.

For what it’s worth, this article...

... puts Supes on the same earth as the other Arrowverse characters.

^ Even if it is, would be set in the future right, given his kids are teenagers in this ?

Not necessarily.

The Crisis could easily have just rewritten Supes’ history; it rewrote history on a massive scale when it merged the earths.

Well, before the new show, he and Lois only had one kid who was still a baby. Also, the way he proposed to Lois was changed from how it was depicted previously. But yeah, as already mentioned, it could be a case that the Crisis event rewrote a chunk of his history.

Ah I see. Its essentially a new reality post Crisis.

^^^basically, yeah.
On Supergirl all sorts of things became canon after The Crisis that took her by surprise, most notably Lex Luthor being seen as a good guy, and she had a history of working w. him.

SM has fled.

What are you crying about now?

Aww are you crying because your precious MCU Thor could lose?

It's ok little one.

You're the one having a meltdown.

It's ok munchkin maybe next time.

Next time you won't have a meltdown?

Yeah but I take it that unlike Supergirl with all her surprises post crisis, that Supermans not surprised to find his twin boys are teenagers ? And that he knows them as if he always did ?

Yeah, but that can be explained by the fact that Superman actually got erased and reborn into the new multiverse whereas Supergirl was one of the Paragons and came from the previous multiverse into the new one.

Thanks, I was going to say the same thing, regarding the Paragons.

Well cool then. Hopefully in the new reality Superman is the no.1 hero again, given this is the CWs biggest show now, and Supergirl is on its final season.

I may be misremembering but he was surprised to hear Lois mention his boys after the crisis. (COIE part 5)

Wasnt just that fight though. Was in the last crossover when they were both using their heat vision and Clarks gave up first.

Shes got good feats. But Superman should be no. 1. Making her lose to him wouldnt have taken anything away from her, but certainly does take away from Superman.

I hate how they treated Superman like some B-list hero in that show... And Hoechlin Superman was just there smiling like some kid. They messed Superman up there. Superman should be able to beat the crap outta Supergirl instead they made him comment on how Supergirl is superior.
