I agree with Grace, I hope this show is not tied in with the flash and other cw garbage. This is the highest quality show the cw has ever done.. it's more in league with the first Smallville seasons... And the inspiration from man of steel is incredible... even I all the way from Uganda appreciates the quality yet we get these shows for free ( no copyright laws) .. this is a win for tv over streaming.. great work cw, great work..
Batman is easiest show for DC to make for tv, they make money at movies so they don't do it. Then they put sub-par actor on tv to play supes. The actor playing supes is not very good. They could have got a better looking and better actor for the part IMO.
How many more reboots of superman do we need! Enough already 😴
The criticisms are not valid.
Just watched this. It was pretty wonderful. A nice dynamic with the Kent's, the Supporting characters are interesting (if a little cliche), the performances, especially Tyler Hoechlin and Alex Garfin are great and the CGI was great. Say what you will, but with Melissa Benoist, Grant Gustin, Stephen Amell, Cress Williams and now Tyler Hoechlin, the CW know how to cast their leads, Benoist and Grant are especially amazing.
Red Son is the best adapted superman story
I feel Clark as a dad suddenly makes Superman relatable.
Very much felt separate from their Arrowverse characters. Darker. Hooe it stays that way. Unfortunately I feel like we will turn Focus to the teen sons because CW and that's where they're going to lose people. Hope they keep it about the father-sons relationship.
If he's a good actor, i don't care about his race..
Didn't it hit anyone that Superman is in the same timeline as Supergirl and there is a current Lex Luther? So the reason why Crisis wasn't played in the beginning of the show was purposely chosen to surprise you with an alternate universe Luther... 2 Luthers... I gotta feeling its not gonna end well for Kara ( remember one of the Crisis covers...hint, hint)
Elizabeth was hired to look more like Margot Kidder than Teri Hatcher.
This show sounds like it’s surprisingly good and when I say good I think it’s better then the flash
This can't play in the arrowverse since we know what lena luthor looks like
The pilot was surprisingly good and touching. CW will eventually mess it up, but it was a nice start. My only complaint was the over CGed Supes version. Hoechlin looked better in Supergirl.
I loved the first episode
Nadria has no valid points. She only cares about pushing her leftist agenda. That is all their ilk care about. Don't know why they even hired her in the first place.
One last thing. Superman IS real.
its better bc supposedly hbo is involved
She transitioned into that HBOMAX poduct plug real smooth, i was a minute into her pitch n didnt even notice 🤣
Surprised how much i loved this!! LOVED the actress playing Lois n how grounded that relationship felt!
Hey Grace, thanks for the subscription deal! Love your show!
I loved it and the actors and actresses are excellent as is the writing so far and even the cgi. I love it
I loved this show
Glad they fired the silly woke inspectorial pushing ridiculous things like pseudoscientific “Bechdel Test” and race quotas. No wonder the story came good if it’s free from focus on identity politics.
This sounds really, really, excruciatingly lame.

As a CW hater I thought the same thing, it was surprisingly good for a premier it doesn't mean it will continue that way after all it's a CW show..
What you talking about
So they made lex luthor black?
I hope they stay away from the wokeness
Best superhero show I have seen on TV in a while. Very classic old school. Back to the basics. No PC messages just a solid story.
So black people can't play villains? The writer was fired because she was a woke Activist posing as a writer. I'm sure her work on Batwoman had nothing to do with it.
They probably did a great job firing the writer.
He should've had two daughters
Her criticism is plain stupid, if it about making superman's parents as African Americans. Not everything in this world is about represtation
Bendis sucks at writing Superman, But I still give him credit for his comic book runs on Avengers & Ultimate Spider-Man .
Plot Twist, What if Captain Lex Luther is actually Lex Luthor’s grandson from the future 🤔🤔🤔🤔?
Just watched the pilot. The first trailer sets the mood perfectly. I really felt that the tone of the show is exactly what we saw in the trailer
Surprisingly interesting. Lets see how it goes. I like this son of superman idea.
Oh, I just watched the first episode. It was really great!
Oh, wow - Superman was a fantastic debut. They got his flight takeoff the best I have seen. And I knew it would be Jordan with powers first. I saw it coming. I enjoyed the twin's relationship. Quite emotional show. I just looked at the CW logo when the camera was on the Lois actor. I wished the Lana character had the Lois role. Then this show would be perfect.
Jordan having anxiety would be relatable, but it just felt like he was more of a loner than he actually had anxiety. Idk maybe our experiences with social anxiety or General Anxiety is just different though. I still enjoyed his character.
The pilot made me cry.. finally we get a good superman
I'd like to get your opinion on Robert Kirkman's Invincible coming out on Amazon Prime this March
Really grace..that writer wanted to make Clark's parents black...really there is a certain point that race bending goes to far.
Superman movies are hard for some writers because he isn't human. You can't make him human. He is a alien.
The show was fantastic! Chris Reeve was my Superman, and though I like Cavill, Routh in Crisis and Hoechlin in this is why I love Superman.
Are you saying that JJ Abrams is going to direct a Superman movie?
AGREED!
Wasn't prepared for a HBO Max promo😄
Basically they made Superman a Riverdale/Sabrina teen angst CW series🙃

Then I wonder. Who wins a fight? Superman or Sabrina. My money is on Sabrina.
honestly amazing pilot hopefully this cw show continues this top tier quality of a show
I don’t watch any of the other DC shows. I watched this one cause Grace liked and and I love it! It’s sooo good. I’m hooked.
Why is is “too bad that Nadria was fired as a writer”? Maybe she was bad at her job. Maybe she was unreasonably pushy with a personal agenda. I don’t understand why you automatically assume her side. But that’s okay. She can go work for Batwoman.

I agree ..she wanted to make Clark's parents black.
Well, people have intercourse all the time , and it doesn't take much and people don't plan to have intercourse at a certain time. It doesn't take long for People to can get pregnant 🙄 Gee whiz grace lol
SPOILERS ALERT🚨🚨🚨 Grace they should of had Jon Cryer still as Lex Luthor since they hyped up the Earth Prime with all the heroes on one Earth!!!
It takes some getting used to ? Sort of like you?
Hi Grace, waitin for your spoiler review on Superman&Lois 😊😍
I liked it!
"Bendis is terrible at it." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...funny as shit. But seriously though, I didn't think his run was that bad. Now his legion and young justice runs....pure word vomit.
My boy derrick from teenwolf did not disappoint!!!!!
Just watched the first episode.This is by far 10/10.And I do HOPE they stay away from associating with supergirl and arrow and flash.This in it self is so refreshing
Bollywood superman that suit is enhanced with cginit looks rediculous with his pencil neck ugly kids and stupid old Lois this is not superman
I agree that Supergirl season 2 was pretty bad. However, I cannot recommend season 4 strongly enough. It works well as a standalone story, and is just excellently plotted all the way through. The big reveals in the last 1/3 of the season are absolutely bonkers and had me glued to my screen with my jaw on the floor. Season 5 was alright, but it really did not reach the heights of 4. I'd say Supergirl season 4 is one of the best seasons of TV I have watched and greatly enjoyed it. I'm consistently confused that it took them that long to really nail the show down, even more confused that the show got worse again afterwards. It's like the writers room had a flash of genius for that one season and then it just went away.
The production quality is off the charts.
After Homelander, I needed this Superman lol

Would love to see Homelander shit himself if he ever met Superman lol
This show is so fucking good
Jonathan name from kal el earth father...jordan from jor el kal el real father i think... I really want the twins meet kara....and kara teach them how to control the power...
Sounds like the writer got fired for trying to jam unnecessary representation into a series with plenty of rep already
The first episode was dope
Lois and Clark sucked
Are we sure that it really is set in the Arrowverse? The ending has me doubting.

Great first episode. Weird to see Doomguy be part this universe. 😂
“The Project O.M.A.C.” ... Kill Em’ All!!!
In my own opinion, since I started collecting comic books since I was 10 years old, my first collections were Superman, Flash and The Uncanny X-Men back in 1985. The best writers for me back then was John Byrne, Dan Jurgens, Joe Shuster, George Perez and Grant Morrison. I just love their individual story lines and takes when presenting Superman.
While, I think visuals are awesome. I think it separates itself from cw shows. At first I thought I'm over superman stories. This I saw how it looked so I checked it out. It's definitely no Wandavisoion with twins. I didn't watch Wandavisoion until it was at episode 5. I can't wait for Friday to get here so I can see wandavisoion. I'm not excited about seeing the next superman and Lois. When black lightning is over I'm probably done with cw shows. Unless batwoman stops looking for Kate kane. I'm losing interest in that.
Grace may i know what do you think about N52 Supes? thanks.
Just watched it. You hit every nail on the head except for the music. The music in the episode was great, but TOO LOUD compared to the actors voices. It droned out some of the dialogue and felt unpolished. Otherwise, I was shockingly pleased with this show. Even down to making Lois rush for snacks when she is stressed, they did the characters all very well. I hope we get a good season out of this show before the CW turns it to hell. From the sound of the complaints by that writer who was fired.... sorry can't go with you on her having valid arguments. She sounded more concerned with putting her politics into a show than making it a good show. Happy they let her go. That kind of behavior is what has ruined all the other arrowverse shows and caused people to stop watching them. Hopefully they can stay out of that spiral for at least the first season and just make a good Superman show.

@i-flarnted lol any actor would kill for the chance to play Lex Luthor. He is such an iconic villain. Who has both been good and bad based on situations in the comics.

That writer said a black actor shouldn't play a bad character; what an idiot.
Shouldn't Kal's kids have powers and shouldn't one of them be female? Oops.

honestly surprised they didnt virtue signal and make one of them gay. Also is that Luthor the original Lex or an descendent from the future like Kane the Conqueror is for Reed Richards in the Marvel /MCU universe? Or an alternate version ? its confusing.
I think Tyler Hoechlin is good Superman and plays Clark very well too. Still not too sure about Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois. I heard there was going to be a black Lex Luther which isn't cool IMO. If they needed a black person being a villain or major character I would have taken Colin Salmon (General Zod) from the tv series Krypton playing the same role. Like traveling back to the present day cause he is from our timeline if you will. I'd take Blake Ritson (Brainiac) and Shaun Sipos (Adam Strange) and maybe Emmett J Scanlan (Lobo) from that series too. That series had decent production.
oh please we very rarely ever see black villains on any tv or film show and its been that way for decades in hollywood! they have shyed away from it so much its now ridiculously unrealistic. The black character is always the earnest one or the loveable friend. So now when any black person is in any way bad theres a fuss about it! we need to stop pandering to every faux outrage opinion on twitter.
Is the villain from the Future Apokolips? Justice League Issue #23
why do i get ultra chad vibes from cw superman
Shouldn't the lead actors at least be good looking?
Man of steel feels more like elseworlds than what I've seen for this. This seems very true to what superman is.

"Supergirl became unwatchable", amen!
Seriously Grace... I don't think you know the definition of no spoilers. Why would you get side tracked with race bending. Let me see it for myself if your going to say no spoilers.
Well now I may have to give this a chance, the trailers didn't excite me, but I may give it a shot now.
Supergirl was the only show that got better after its second season... Such a shame you drop from it
lol why does grace hate supergirl? that show is super feminist she always likes that kind of shows. does anyone knows?
Trash.
Saying that you couldn't watch Supergirl after season 2 made me subscribe to you. I thought the same thing. I kept jumping back in on different seasons to give it another go but just couldn't keep watching. Hope this Superman and Lois show doesn't fall into that same formula that Supergirl used. Flash and Arrow had a good formula I watched every one of those shows. I also enjoy the Legends crazyness.
🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
This gives me hope. 💪🏻
I’m way too excited about this show! Glad to hear it good!
Will Superman and Louis go to HBO MAX?
Grace, I’m a millennial who is around their ages. I have both an established career and a teen. So it’s not that far off. Millennials have kids, mortgages, and careers these days.

Grace you're sellin this show well, and it's sounding like a surprise win which is great.... but I just can't see myself being the least bit interested in watching. It's weird. But then, I'm more of a Bat guy. And your point about Superman stories being tough is just proven all the more.
So you're saying you don't like The Flash TV show? What up w/ that?
I Hope this is good. Always hoping for Tyler Hoechlin but he doesn't seem to get good work.
I loveee Wole Parks. He was soooo good on the Desperate Housewives spin off - Devious Maids. So sad that show didn't get a 5th season. Love Devious Maids.
