"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?

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?

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

Indeed. There's enough woke tuff in these shows as is without the need to try to add more to the mix.

I wonder if this series can go without adding a single gay, lesbian, or transgender character. Probably make it to episode 2-3 and that's it.

Apparently they wanted to race-lift Jonathan and Martha Kent, and were ignored on that issue also.

Finally, SJW got justice it deserved, i.e. none of her trash was realized in the show.

So CW's back-up plan for a lack of Batwoman/Superman crossover next year is to do a five episode event where John Diggle crosses over with the CW shows, in addition David Ramsey will direct many of the Arrowverse episodes.

If there wasn't the HBO Max SJW Lantern show going on I'd say, "Oh! That means Diggle is going to be Green Lantern!" but it... probably doesn't?

It was pretty good. Woe Park is a great addition to the show. I really enjoyed Tyler being able to shine with no Supergirl (nothing negative against Melissa!) there to one up him constantly. Hopefully this show remains WOKE free because it has the makings to be really good.
