"Superman & Lois Lane" flying to The CW

[Guy Gardener]

Their Trump allegory was a stooge for Lex Luthor.

Their Republican Allegory was alien murdering nationalists.

The deck is stacked.

I would say complex instead of gutless. There is value in trusting your audience to make up their own minds by simply exploring a issue without using strawman arguments or being preachy. IMO ever show should be written like your audience is smart,reasonable moderates who can handle criticism. Everything should also feel consitent with their character. Also you need characters with different world views for character conflict and the deeper the differences the better drama and comedy you will get. Jason

It’s not arts job to be fair and balanced and cater to a moderate mind set. Art can be provocative, outrageous and even one sided. Fair and balanced is the News’ job.

I prefer it when shows take a stand on the kinds of issues that Supergirl has dealt with, it feels kind of pointless to me for stories like it to bring up issues like racism or immigration but not actually take a stand on it.

 

[TRON JA307020]

They're married, so no.

They are married in the show to it just the comic book?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Both, IIRC.

 

[TRON JA307020]

Both, IIRC.

oh ok. Well my title wouldn’t work. It is a classic title though and funny from the old days of comics. How about Superman’s Wife Lois Lane?


That’s a joke by the way.

 

[David cgc]

They're married, so no.

Or could it? A dark psychodrama, where Clark Kent is cheating on his wife, Lois Lane, with his girlfriend... Lois Lane. Time travel, robot, parallel universe, take your pick. Money, please, CW.

Like Rick replacing a Jerry?

 

[TRON JA307020]

Lois Lane's Husband Superman

But then that would mean Superman would be the star of the show and not Lois.

 

[Noname Given]

But then that would mean Superman would be the star of the show and not Lois.

Even given the current title: "Superman & Lois Lane" - Superman seems to be the star of the show.

Because he has the powers but lois will hopefully be an integral part of the adventures. Well I guess this means no big screen supes for a while.

 

[Christopher]

Well I guess this means no big screen supes for a while.

They did a big-screen Flash despite there being a Flash TV show. The movies always take priority over the shows, so if they decide they want to do another Superman movie in a couple of years, they will regardless of the show's existence.

With Supergirl likely to be canned we might see a Supergirl movie before a Superman one. Jason

Supergirl is not in any danger whatsoever, and claims to the contrary are a baseless conspiracy theory.

Supergirl has consistently low ratings and that's not the recipe needed to run as long as--for example--Law & Order SVU or Criminal Minds.

Supergirl isn't going to last forever, but it's not in any danger whatsoever of being cancelled at the present moment.

That's just a fact.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Yeah. That's not a fact.

 

[DigificWriter]

Yeah. That's not a fact.

It is, actually, based on The CW's business model and the data we have available to us.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Nope.
