Am I the only one that wanted to see Peter O'Toole and Peter Cooke make out?
My wife and I watched the sequence of Reeves-Donner movies a couple years ago (SM, SMII, SMIII, Supergirl, SMIV, SR). Supergirl has some high points, but it is not actually a good movie. It's frequently boring, lacks suspense, people do a lot of arbitrary things, a lot of the jokes fall flat, and the plot lurches all over the place.
We really liked the first half of Superman III, but once the Evil Superman plot kicks in in earnest it goes downhill fast. All the stuff with Lana is cute, though.

There could be a crossover.
Regarding Superman III, I remember that the comics of the time introduced the adult Lana as a recurring character because of that movie. I thought that was great. I was never a fan of the Lois Lane character as a love interest for Superman because she was always a self-absorbed egomaniac from the early days of the comics up until the early eighties. Back then Lana actually worked as a love interest for Superman because she respected Clark Kent as a person--something Lois never did. Of course, the John Byrne reboot of Superman changed that entirely but I think that taking Lois out of the third Superman movie resulted in an important and long lasting change to the Superman mythos.
On the topic of Supergirl:
The pilot for Supergirl is pretty awful with a lot of corny lines and a really bad set up. But it has some nice moments and the actress is very charismatic. I love her "Clark Kent" take and her transition to a Supergirl persona. There is a lot of potential there, but I hope the pilot episode gets some thoughtful editing before it is released officially next autumn.

Actually, adult Lana had been a fixture of the Superman titles since the early 60s. She'd most recently been reintroduced in the late 70s after a hiatus of some years. I wasn't reading the Superman titles ca. 1983, but I vaguely recall hearing that they were using adult Lana as a love interest for Clark (as opposed to Superman) around that time, which may have been an attempt to tie in with the film.
Sorry, I meant to say that she became a love interest to tie in with the movie and she took a larger role in the regular series. That was around the time that Satanus split Kal-El in two and there was a year long story line about that in Superman comics.
The other half of the WGBS news desk.
At the time, I didn't feel it.
Considering all the beautiful women (and men) Superman hangs around, and it all results in nearly almost nothing, how long until "Super frigidity" is listed as one of his super powers?

LOL--add Cat to that list.
The new 52 really missed an opportunity to make the online news website a serious part of the series and supporting cast. How long was Clark and anchor person in the seventies? Seven years? More? Enough times to trip up Steve Lombard with his heat vision on multiple occasions. Yet the supporting cast in the new 52 seem to be lame and boring.
In the wake of Convergence the New 52 is done. It's either being replaced or partially replaced with DCYOU.
They're launching 24 new titles in June (after cancelling 24 under performing titles) in an effort to rebrand to make real comic books fans happy.
There's another four pages of advertising after what I supplied above (click with your mouse to make bigger silly.), where they're trying to make us happy about the future and not care about the mass grave full of shitty comics they couldn't shift because they don't know what kids today really want

1) Real comic book fans are never happy.
2) Kids don't read comics.
I'm guessing you must not be a fan of Flash or Arrow either. Because it felt to me like it was done in almost the exact same style as those shows, and with the same kind of dialogue.

Well that sure didn't last long. Kinda looks to me like they're keeping the same New 52 costumes though, and wasn't that one of the big problems people had with it in the first place?
They're just using a new trade dress/branding. It not a reboot or anything. The books ( the ones that weren't canceled) are picking up were they left off before convergence.In the wake of Convergence the New 52 is done. It's either being replaced or partially replaced with DCYOU.

Its been four years, they couldn't be the New 52 forever.
The new 52 started at the end of 2011.
What's happening now (in theory) is about creative changes and changes in tone.
If I could stomach the brightly coloured advertising, I'd know for sure what I'm talking about.
In the release, they use two conflicting phrases "more adult" and "coming of age" which makes me think that more adult doesn't mean adult enough.
...
The pilot is fine, it's just targeting idiots between the age of 15 and 27 who have not seen as much TV as we have.

It's always about creative changes and changes in tone. It's just that in the old days they didn't base or develop an ad campaign about it.
The timeline itself is still constant since the Flashpoint shakeup is what I should have said.
I find Arrow's moments more jarring than Flash, but I enjoy both shows. The Supergirl pilot though just had something missing that for me made the bad dialogue stand out more.
The only thing I found a bit jarring in the pilot were the really flat and clunky voiceovers from Benoist. She comes across incredibly sweet and charming everywhere else, but for some reason that just doesn't come through in the opening and closing voiceovers at all.
She really needs to have Grant Gustin give her some lessons on that or something.

That's really just the way most companies do things these days.
