Or Earth-1 Zod? I mean Ollie got that kryptonite from *somewhere* on his own Earth right? That means Krypton is gone in the E1 universe and if pieces made it to Earth, other things and/or persons could have too.
"Superman & Lois Lane" flying to The CW

I do hope that after COIE, the multiverse is left in tact, though I suppose they could merge things for one year and come back with Convergence or Infinite Crisis. Superman having occasional adventures in the multiverse can lead to some fun crossovers.
Supergirl will survive until the Netflix deal the CW has runs out most likely.
Hey at least we know now that they WON'T kill off Tyler Hoechlin's Superman in their version of CoIE

Supergirl is in zero danger of being cancelled.
Don't let conspiracy theories and mad rantings that claim otherwise fool you.

I don't think anyone thinks Supergirl is getting canceled, even if the ratings absolutely warrant it. But the hope is the Superman writers do better.
To be fair, it's the same overall group of writers, so I honestly wouldn't expect much of a style change overall in how they present and execute their stories and characters.
Lois is (and always should be) lead.
Even the best, Reeve's first two Superman movies, in all but title, had more to do with Lois in some ways - if not co-lead with Superman (even if the first one had dealt with Supes as an awkward kid wither super-dee-duper powers). His mystery, her wanting to know more, and the adventure together sold it. Or that's how I remembered it, time for a rewatch as I know there were *shudder* plot gaffes. Especially in II (regardless of Lester or Donner edit, some scenes don't add up and to be fair Lester had put in a scene or two that were better. Including the more subdued Phantom Zone escape with Zod's hammy screamy line cut since Terence Stamp was underplaying everything beautifully in every other scene he's in, the revised opening credits, and, of course, Supes' big reveal. Heck, Lester's cut takes the facepalm of a lovemaking scene for after he loses his powers - given Supes' strength and being faster than a locomotive, Lois would be glad certain functions weren't as powerful... And the memory-wiping kiss at the end is still better than the original intent to reverse time and be stuck in a loop.)
And it's also not unlike Doctor Who from 56 years ago. The title was about the alien but the early episodes focused on how the humans had to interact, which was refreshingly different - and quite bold. The "alien from the other planet" was not a main character because who can relate to an alien? If everyone could, that'd be boring. That's what seems to be missing in a lot of shows; the alien is the one with the mystery and we humans need to relate to the human with the adventure; we are the companions. Not the alien to think we're just like.
No, each Arrowverse show has its own separate staff of writers, though there's been occasional overlap of top writers like Marc Guggenheim. But I suppose there is a general Berlanti/CW "house style" being followed.
Except for the ones that are.
Since this is coming from the same group, I'm expecting at least a few of the standard elements we've gotten in the other shows.
The CW shows have introduced characters without using the story that introduced them.
Even if we don't get a full on Arrow or The Flash style team around, we'll probably still get at least a one other character who helps out with the superheroics. They like ensembles and it's nice to get at least one or two other characters who can get involved in the superheroics.
Have they said anything about the Kents on Supergirl?
I hope he's at least old enough that he can be a real character.
I wouldn't mind seeing Lana.
Pretty much every action series has some kind of an overall season long arc and Big Bad these days, so I'm pretty sure this will too.
Alienating half the country does not make for entertainment, and if comics were this political, no one would want to read them either.
All I'm saying is that it is far better to make a show that does not spew the writers' politics in a divisive world. They should just focus on Superman and his adventures with his family without the hate.
Honestly, I'm not sure. The encouraging sign is Geoff Johns is involved as are several of the Flash team, and if the tone of Flash is used, the show could be all right.
In fairness, Donner would have redone the ending since he used it in the first movie.
And that's fine--you don't want it so different that it's an entirely different show and can't fit in the Arrowverse. Personally, I would love some stories where Superman goes to other Earths and meets counterparts.
True, but I think in this case, it would be a wasted opportunity. They could do the Death of Superman in a five part finale and open the next season with his return. It would be much better on TV.
Don't know, but I think it would be amazing if they do in COIE, and we get that historical change. Imagine such a scene.
I would guess he will be and they will spew some ancient Kryptonian secret to explain it. Might even see it in COIE.
I actually think Supergirl will be canned but like, Arrow it will proably get a final goodbye season. Aging show with esclating cost with decreasing ratings don't last long. If the Crisis story is the Endgame of the Arrowverse then like with the MCU you likely build around some new shows with Batwoman,Flash and Black Lighting being the only old shows left. My other prediction with the success of Joker they will try to do a villian show. Maybe why they made Lena a baddie. You could have a show just about the Luthor family placed on a world without Superman. Jason
Deathstroke and The Suicide Squad.
Nowhere near half, sorry. A tiny number, no matter how many of them Twitter Outrage themselves half to death over Supergirl not being treated as Superman's inferior.
Myself, I hope this is nothing like Smallville. That was a waste of a TV series.
