"Superman & Lois" TV Series on CW
 
Quote:
Look, up in the sky, it's another Arrow-verse TV series in the works.
Superman & Lois, featuring Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch reprising their roles as the title characters, is in development at The CW.
Produced by Greg Berlanti, former The Flash showrunner Todd Helbing will pen the script and exec produce the potential series. The drama is described as revolving around the world's most famous super hero and comics' most famous journalist deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society. (Helbing stepped down as showrunner on The Flash in March to focus on development.)
Helbing will exec produce alongside Berlanti and his Warner Bros. TV-based Greg Berlanti Productions topper Sarah Schechter and DC's Geoff Johns. The drama is based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
Hoechlin was first cast as Superman back in 2016 and has appeared in multiple episodes of The CW's Arrow-verse, including Supergirl and has participated in the franchise's annual crossovers. Grimm grad Tulloch was cast in September 2018 and appeared in last year's crossover.
This is the second Arrow-verse spinoff in the works for the 2020-21 TV season. The CW is also readying a female-focused Arrow spinoff starring Katherine McNamara, Katie Cassidy and Juliana Harkavy as the network is prepping for the next wave of its DC Comics franchise.
The Arrow-verse has become a network-defining brand for The CW, with The Flash ranking as its most-watched original series. The network is saying goodbye to the Arrow this season as it just launched Ruby Rose vehicle Batwoman (which last week earned an additional nine-episode order).

The development deal also arrives as The CW president Mark Pedowitz has been open about entering what he called the "next generation" of his DC shows. The younger-skewing network's current roster includes The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and Black Lightning.
The decision to revisit Superman (and Lois) also comes nearly a decade after the former WB Network-turned-CW told Clark Kent's origin story in Smallville, which ran for a decade.

Jokes aside, it's an interesting turning point for WB. Like, it took all of the CW's might to wrestle out two or three Superman guest spots on Supergirl from WB... yet now they've approved a whole series about Superman?

Autbot_Benz 10-28-2019 02:48 PM
**** Yes I have been wanting this for so long. No more Superman being cucked when he is on supergirl

ZariusTwo 10-28-2019 03:03 PM
On one hand, it'll be good to see the focus on the Super-Family again. That's been missing since 2018.

On the other hand, they could eventually base a lot of this on what Bendis is doing, so we get an aged Jon Kent and Lois and Clark still a couple, but living independent lives fighting Leviathan

Don't be so sure. With Supergirl very likely to be cancelled this season, you can bet she'll be rescued and thrown to "Superman & Lois" as an ongoing guest.

Will it contain Hot Lesbian Sex or nowadays Lesbian sex is progressive only when it includes "brave and stunning" "female dicks"?
Do Supergirl or Batwoman have "brave and stunning" "female dicks", though? :lol:

No, that's Batwoman now. Everything has always been leading to Batwoman. They don't need Supergirl anymore.

I think I prefer a superman show with supergirl guest starring, but this is technically not arrowverse since isn't supergirl in a different universe? or did they merge?

"Arrowverse" encompasses other Earths including Supergirl and Superman's (which yes, is separate). But since this will be post-Crisis, who knows what the status quo will be? Probably they'll merge the Supergirl/Superman Earth into the main one, if only to make it less weird for crossovers with the other shows.

sdp 10-28-2019 06:46 PM
I hope so, they really should've made it one universe from the start, because technically if we use the logic that supergirl is arrowverse then so is every other live action DC show thanks to the crisis event.

I was going to say, "Maybe call it the Berlanti-verse, then" but it looks like he's a producer on Titans and Doom Patrol, too... so that clearly doesn't hold water.

CW DC always sucks. Maybe it gets a decent first and second season, maybe not, but in the end, it'll suck.

It's the CW way.

Krutch 10-28-2019 08:27 PM
I don't know... I'll definitely check out the first few episodes, but I haven't liked much of how they've handled Superman in this universe, so my confidence is pretty shot.

Also not big on Tyler's Superman. His Clark is good; his Superman leaves alot to be desired, IMO.

Nothing's ever been as good as Arrow season 1 and I think I enjoyed it a bit longer than you did, but yeah... the last seasons of Arrow, Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow were BAD. No idea what's going on on Supergirl beyond Superman jobbing to her once in a while, so nothing good, I'm sure.

Im glad to hear this. I think Tyler Hochlin is a good Superman. Now that he has his own show he hopefully won't be Supercucked anymore. Like he was on Supergirl.

I dunno... I expect constant reminders of how much smarter Lois is than him.

Does this mean we shouldn't expect any Superman films in the near future?

According to the Idiots at Warner Brothers they have no idea what to do with him

ZariusTwo 01-15-2020 03:23 AM
As of Crisis

Spoiler:
Lois and Clark now have two sons, so will one of them be aged up while another stays an infant?

Slade 01-15-2020 07:30 AM
I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, love Superman, want to see him on tv again. The other hand, CW shows really aren't that good anymore and not much of a fan of the guy playing him. But, I will check it out though.
Never even bothered with one episode of Supergirl.

Alleged summary of the pilot and premise



Spoiler:
As the series opens, LOIS LANE is still working at the Daily Planet, but CLARK KENT has just been fired following a massive layoff plan at the journal. His father JONATHAN KENT is no longer with them, while his mother MARTHA KENT is living alone on the farm where he grew up in Smallville. They have twins, JONATHAN and JORDAN KENT, who are thirteen and very different -- both physically and otherwise. Jonathan is the popular one, an all-star athlete who's about to enter the Varsity team, while Jordan is more introverted, anxiety prone, and very much into computers and video games. They don't know who their father really is... yet. And they may or may not have inherited his powers.



Lois's father GENERAL SAMUEL LANE is in the picture and knows about Clark. LANA LANG is also a big part of the show. She's a banker, still living in Smallville, with her husband KYLE CUSHING, a firefighter, and their daughters, SARAH, who's fourteen, and younger SOPHIE who's eight. They are in a dark place: Kyle is a drunk and Sarah tried to take her own life a year ago.



And yes, Superman has an enemy in this version of the story, who appears as THE STRANGER in the pilot. His true identity is revealed ar the end of the episode...

Why would they Fire Clark but keep Lois. oh wait its the CW gotta have the Strong Woman be able to keep her job while the Man gets fired.

Isn't Lois usually depicted as the better journalist?

I always thought Clark was depicted as the better one. But I don't follow Superman stuff very closely so what do I know

I've always taken that they're equals in the field, but that she devotes a little more energy to it. For obvious reasons.

Leo656 02-04-2020 10:39 PM
I think they each had at least one Pulitzer but Clark is also a best-selling and award-winning novelist. At least in the 1986-2010 continuity. His writing is one of the things he's most proud of as it doesn't require any extraordinary powers or abilities and thus he comes about his talent and awards "honestly". Which is a huge deal to him.

TommyT 02-04-2020 11:11 PM
Not feeling the Pilot description.

ZariusTwo 02-05-2020 01:29 PM
The spoilers are real and the Supersons have been cast. Jordan Elsass & Alexander Garfin will play Jon and Jordan Kent

People on the Superman page seem pretty unhappy. :ohwell:

There's a few "Let's wait and see" types but for most people who'd self-identify as "Superman Fans", none of this is anything we want or would ask for.

Sadly, if it tanks, all that happens is the WB suits proclaim "See? Nobody cares about Superman!" yet again and they put anything to do with him back on the shelf. Although I predict it's almost definitely going to get at least three seasons.

I hate that Hoechlin guy, so it's an easy skip for me. I think they jumped the gun with him; most people in the current climate are clamoring for a show with Routh instead, but they already pulled the trigger with this show. Too bad.

Agree with Andrew that they're normally shown as equals. That said, I can see why they'd fire Clark in both story and real world terms. In story Lois is, as Andrew said, usually shown as the more devoted/go getter whilst Clark is constantly late or MIA due to being Superman. Most bosses don't like that. In the real world it also means they can have Lois fill the role of investigator/journalist whilst Clark does the super heroics and trains Jonathan and Jordan. Without the love triangle you don't need them both to be reporters at the Planet. It sets Lois up in the information finder/coordinator role that Iris has in Flash, Felicity had in Arrow, and Gambi does in Black Lightning.

Not saying I agree with it (I like having them both at the Planet so I need to see how it plays out), but I can understand the why of it and it's not "strong woman keeps job whilst man gets fired".

TommyT 02-07-2020 05:27 AM
Am I the only one who is sick of the “training” of younger kids cliche?

On principle you're correct, it's generally not a good look, BUT Clark always gets the big scoops and comes through in the clutch, so while Perry is often annoyed at Clark's shenanigans he gives him a very long leash because in spite of eternally being MIA, he always gets the job done. Lots of reporters don't necessarily punch a time clock anyway.

Just saying. :) Part of what I like about him being a journalist is it gives him a lot more freedom that he wouldn't have at a regular 9-to-5. Because yeah that definitely wouldn't work.
