Spoilers Crisis on Infinite Earths Discussion (CW Event Spoiler Thread)

Yes. Let's whitewash a character because the actor has a similar name.
I really sucks that Adam West is dead...because I'd go nuts seeing his as an older Bruce Wane...
If anyone is interested, these are the pages with the break-up (Action Comics 542).
It was part of a mini-revamp of Superman's titles in the 1983. Part of it was the new Luthor's armor and the new Braniac's robotic form too.
The break-up was supposed to be a big thing (in the intervening years between it and the Crisis Clark Kent began to date Lana Lang) but a this point the titles were losing readers so quickly that hardly anyone noticed it.
Incidentally, I think Lois made the right choice to break up with Superman. But surely she did it for the wrong reasons.
Lois, you have to dump him not because he "can't express his feeling", but because he has been a DICK all these years.

By the writer of Crisis, no less. Marv Wolfman had quite an impact on 1980s DC. (He was even the first editor of their Star Trek comic.)
They blackwash characters all the time. It’s 2019. It doesn’t matter any more.
Yep, they called him to revamp Superman's titles (I mean, it was the time of Simonson's Thor, Miller's Daredevil, Claremont's X-Men and yes, Wolfman's Titans and readers still had to endure Luthor who wanted to destroy the world because he was suffering from early baldness), but it was too little and too late.
I'm getting frustrated - even though I probably shouldn't be - with some posters from the DC Universe community who apparently can't see the differences in logistics between comics and television or the differences in circumstance between this crossover and the Arrowverse's adaptation of Flashpoint and are accusing me of "mixing up Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis" even though I've calmly and succinctly tried to outline the reasons why the endgame of the CoIE television crossover is not the same as the comics CoIE event and will therefore not yield the same results, and so I don't know what else I can say.
@ 0:19...
Someone else mentioned Clooney, but I think WB would have an easier time trying to grab a random stranger on the street and perform a root canal procedure with a screwdriver than getting him to ever participate in superhero anything ever again.
Including the camera crew getting wiped by anti-matter would have been the ballsiest breaking of the fourth wall in a serious, non-Monty Python show. Now I'm suddenly disappointed.
Well, Jon Cryer has already been on a show which ended with a bit of fourth-wall-breaking self-destruction, so...
Actually, perhaps a suitable punishment for Earth-38 Lex post-Crisis could be to oblige him to spend the rest of eternity singing the theme song to yet another new Arrowverse spinoff: Two and a Half (Super)Men.

That title could kinda work to describe Crisis Part 2, with Tom Welling as the "Half."
Or if things don't work out with Earth-38 Clark and Lois post-Crisis, he could go and crash on Earth-96 Clark's couch.
It always amazes me how different the behind the scenes footage from shows and movies looks, without all of the filters and color manipulation they do in the footage used for the final release.
There is no way in hell the Arrowverse shows could afford George Clooney or Mark Strong for even a single frame of footage.
That I could see, and I'm hoping it might happen.
There is a very, very, very, big difference between changing a white character into black character in an adaptation and turning a black character into a white character.
That's fucking amazing.
That's fucking amazing.
I remember my jaw dropping when I watched that in real time.
It would've been better if she'd twirled around while shedding the coat.
