    Naw, I think he will just be called "The Blur" until he is dubbed Superman by Lois.

    With these shiny pleather suits, they all must buy a lot of damn Turtle Wax.

    In the final Battle, I think it is Cat Grant who must face down against Darkseid.

    Schroedinger?

    That's HILARIOUS!

    The red jacket is kind of cool but it's doesn't really seem like a uniform to me. It's like hey, it's a dude in a leather jacket. It seems a bit too discrete, like nice for streetwear but not if you are trying to be a symbol.


    MM's a better match visually.

    It's not really a uniform. More of a transitional piece, just like Clark's black and silver trench coat was when he was all Dark Clark.

    I think its a nice progression, shows he is making progress, but, I feel it should have happened several years ago.

    At least two, more like four like Jet suggested (sorry dude not gonna call you The Blur lol). I wonder where Clark got the jacket and who emblazoned the crest on his jacket for him. I doubt he seriously did it himself lol.

    That actually would make sense and Clark just refused to wear it until now lol.

    Totally agree. I was really expecting him to fly off. It would've been an awesome scene and we wouldn't have to be subjected to more hand wringing and psychobabble about Clark not being able to fly yet. Just let him do it darn it!

    As for the show itself, I enjoyed it. I didn't like the Western motif for Deadshot, though I'm glad they had the targeting eye patch. Also not sure about Cat Grant's depiction. I don't know much about her, but from what little I've read or seen on Lois and Clark, Cat came off as way sexier in style of dress and attitude. However, I did like that this Cat wasn't a complete Christine O'Donnell. Liked the Carter-Lois talk especially the Nietzsche stuff, liked the Suicide Squad mention at the end and the Clark-Oliver talk. I think the red jacket looks too Thrilleresque, but the "S" emblem was great.

    Two things...

    -The credits showed a scene with Lois and Chloe talking about Oliver that I couldn't recall. Was this the scene between the two of them that was deleted last week?

    -Also, they showed the scene in last week's trailer where Clark (in his new costume) visited Jonathan's grave. Maybe they're saving that for next week.

    I don't recall either of those scenes, they could have been director's cuts. We know that Jonathon is supposed to return for at least one more appearance this season...probably in the second half of the season would be my guess, it's not been confirmed yet to my knowledge.
