There's an actor in an upcoming movie who looks like a paraplegic Chris Reeves...he could fit that bill
Funny...when I post stuff like this I get fifty lectures about how "he played the role even without the suit..."
I knew Neill was that old, but I missed Larson's death. That's a shame, maybe they could still find a way to work them, even just as pictures of the Lanes' or Danvers' grandparents, or maybe they could find a way to give Neill even just a voice cameo or something if she can't actually appear in person.
Thinking about it more, I really don't see a need to bring back an actor who played Superman before to play their Superman. I know they did bring back actors in the same(ish) roles in the Flash, but so far none of returning actors in Supergirl have played the same role, so I don't see why Superman should be any different.
With them already talking about the big four way crossover, I think it's probably very likely that we will be getting Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer on Supergirl, or Melissa Benoist on LoT. I just don't see them being able to resist at least giving us a scene with Routh and Benoist together.
And here's another returning actor idea, how about Sherman Howard as Perry White?
I'd like a scene with Cain and Routh.
As for Perry White, I'm still keen on Harrison Ford. I can see him doing a one-off guest appearance but if they want to use the character regularly, they'd probably need someone else. Don't want to run into another Michael McKean situation.

Or another Nimoy/Fringe.... they had so much more in store for the Bell character.
^ Yeah, you could tell that they were trying to work around Nimoy not being available.
If by some miracle Ford does make an appearance, it would be the second time a cast member of a Superman show got their husband to play Perry White.

But we did get Anna Torv's amazingly perfect Leonard Nimoy impression out of it. (As well as a clumsily done animated episode, which wasn't so great.)
Oh, that's right, Michael McKean is Annette O'Toole's husband.
Actually, while Torv did a great impression, actually doing an impression was a mistake. She did Nimoy's rasp perfectly, but Nimoy (and therefore Bell, presumably) don't try to do the rasp, it's just there because of Nimoy's physical vocal chords (probably because of his smoking). Bell inside Dunham's body would have spoken like Bell sans the rasp.
And, yeah, I also totally hear myself with this guy's voice right now.
Well, it's hardly the only thing in Fringe that didn't make sense. What impressed me was Torv's remarkable skill at mimicry and self-transformation.
And, hey, it's better than all those old body-switching cartoons and sitcom episodes and whatever where the characters actually spoke with each other's voices when they were swapped. (There was a Teen Titans episode where Tara Strong's Raven and Hynden Walch's Starfire were body-swapped, and they were going to have Strong play Starfire in Raven's body and Walch play Raven in Starfire's body, but the two actresses reportedly did such perfect impressions of each other's characters that the producers couldn't tell the difference anyway, so they just had both actresses play their usual characters and swapped the voices. I still would've liked to hear their performances as each other, though.)
For season two I'd really love for a Red Tornado 2.0 to be realized. Be a character on standby at the DEO, not used every episode but there.
I'm wondering how they will merge National City into our CW-verse of shows. I'd rather Supergirl not stay on an alternate Earth.

It's possible there's already a version of National City in CW's Earth-1. In the Flash crossover, Barry said Earth-SG had a Central City (and a Mariah Carey, apparently), but no Barry Allan, no Star Labs and no Cisco Ramon.
All merging the two universes could mean is that the Supergirl related characters to all intents and purposes just appear in Earth-1's version of of National City.
Sure, logically speaking it should be a lot more complicated than that, but these shows aren't above a little hand-waving of such things.
They're not merging the two Earths... at least not anytime soon.
Not only is there no reason to do so other than "because fans want it to happen", they'd have to rewrite whatever they're doing for Season 2 of SG (which they started planning and discussing several weeks before the move to The CW was announced).
Regarding the "no Barry Allen, no S.T.A.R. Labs, no Cisco, no Caitlin, no Wells" thing, the producers have said that there is a possibility that we could see "Earth-S" doppelgangers of characters we're already familiar with from Arrow and The Flash, so just because E1 Barry couldn't find "Earth-S" counterparts of his friends in Central City on "Earth-S" doesn't necessarily or automatically mean that they don't exist... all it means is that they're not living in Central City.

Because Supergirl takes place in 1955 and he couldn't find them in the Central City phonebook?
C'mon, with the internet these days the only way he could have missed them wherever they are would be if they don't want to be found... *cue dramatic music*
You assume they have a similar Internet on Earth-SBecause Supergirl takes place in 1955 and he couldn't find them in the Central City phonebook?

They have Python 6. They're even more advanced

Barry obviously didn't know to use AskHarrisonWells.com instead of Google.
Why would Barry think to look outside of Central City for his friends if that's where he was expecting them to be... especially when the absence of STAR Labs means that they likely wouldn't be in a position to help him?
