Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
If they were to have a former Superman actor with the right age for the show to reprise his role, there's one that Berlanti has connections with.
Also, as a huge fan of the Martian Manhunter, I really loved this episode. As the user Vadakin over at the Eyes Skyward board stated:

Fear? I doubt that. For a series that is permanently standing on certain social soapbox, the "step away" could be the result of writers simply not being on their game in carrying the allegory to its conclusion, rather than being afraid of anything.
If you think that Winn is through with his pain, then you're in for an interesting ride. As noted last week, if a man declared his love--and as emotionally invested as Winn is, it is not realistic for him to simply move on. To milk drama out of his character (and hurt SG), Winn cannot move on.
The Justice League was too white.
It seemed racist.
Inorganic steps were taken.
Congratulations Cyborg.

"No" as in it wouldn't imply that, or "No" as in you share my strong opposition to that notion?
That... would get really confusing for many viewers, I think. (Assuming you're talking about Brandon Routh.)
Yep.
Also, since they didn't even include it into Arrowverse the notion they would tie it to Smallville is kinda silly...
Brandon played Superman recently somewhere else.
Let's face it, that was just because Geoff Johns likes Hal Jordan too much to give the GL spot on the Justice League to John Stewart.
Also, J'onn's human alter ego has been portrayed as black on SV, this show, and in the "Justice League: Doom" animated feature. With the comics universe having a full reboot, they might as well have made John Jones black in the comics, too.
Hang on. I think they did, in the Martian Manhunter monthly book? (I stopped reading after the first issue, since they gave him a new backstory making him a completely new character, I wish DC would stop doing that). So, why that's not the reason, is it?!
No more confusing than Welling. At least Routh's Superman didn't have a Supergirl already around.
The only thing having Welling play Supes again would imply is that he's dreadfully typecast.
Anything beyond that is viewer inference.
I suppose it's this sort of thing there's an embargo to begin with?
Technically, both Slater's Supergirl and Routh's Superman are sequels to Reeve's Superman so you could say they're in the same continuity.
How can Superman Returns be a sequel to Superman The Movie when Luthor is employing the same evil Land grab scheme, and there's identical repeated dialogue?
Well, you know the definition of insanity...
Friends are not food?
The secret to enjoying Smallville is embracing the rage that comes from seeing Chloe and Clark unhooked up.
(Hooked down?)
(Hooked down?)
a block of wood has the potential to be more fun than tom welling, not to mention, a much better actor.
Routh would've been great. I don't see it with him occupying another position in the 'verse, though. (kinda)
Welling would be fun to see.
Welling would be fun to see.
Given how adamantly he refused to wear the cape and tights on Smallville, I have a hard time believing he'd do it for Supergirl. And I don't think he could make a convincing Superman anyway.
It's not unprecedented for the same actor to play the same character in two separate realities -- for instance, the current The Flash has Amanda Pays, Mark Hamill, and Vito D'Ambrosio all reprising the same characters they played in the 1990 The Flash, but the two shows are not meant to be in the same continuity.
For the last 10 years fanboys and fangirls have been throwing eggs at Welling calling him a wussy for not suiting up when he had the chance. He's an old man now heading towards 40, Superboy no more, Tom is running out of opportunities to prove that he has a decent boneable body on camera before the middle age spread destroys his ####ability.
