CW superman has me curious. You guys think he'll actually play a part in the crossovers or will he just be a once a season ratings grabber for supergirl

Personally I don't see the harm in including him in on the fun.

I think that if it's well received then they will make the most of the character. Let's remember that this network and it's predecessor have a history with the mythology. I haven't kept up on the behind the scenes stuff but is this talk of merging the Supergirl universe with the Flash/Arrow/Legends continuity true or just fans assuming/wishing it so?

 

[Victarion]

I couldn't see what they have to lose in doing so, Kryptin. Merging Supergirl. Do you know if this Superman would be coming from the Smallville series?

with supergirl now being on the same network as the rest of the shows it would make sense for them all to take place in the same timeline. But for now we just have to wait and see if they actually do it.

the fan favorite for this Superman, last i saw, was Brandon Routh lol

"make him like Atom's doppleganger" was thrown around and i nearly killed myself

 

[flickchick85]

I do like Bryan's current plan of making 5 different shows at once. With those odds surely something will make it past a season

Which means I'll be mourning the loss of 4 new favorite shows next year.

 

[Reek]

What's a pretty place like you doing in a thing like this?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

oh god, I'm still reeling over Hannibal

losing that show was not my design at all

Possibly 3. With all the hype around them, I don't think Star Trek or American Gods being in danger of early cancellation. Yet.

American Gods won't last. Grow up, Peter Pan.

Well if those survive I guess I'll consider it a win, lol.

Meanwhile, I believe the Sandman movie is dead. Shame. I picked up the first volume a little while ago and enjoyed it.

 

[flickchick85]

I didn't like the sound of that project, tbh. Goyer and JGL are not names I would ever associate with Sandman.

This is what I've been trying to get down since my last post, from 3:35 to about 5:02... And been failing at it spectacularly. Learning this system is gonna be tough for me.

It's already happened. There was a Supergirl/Flash crossover. Supergirl, Season 1, Episode 18, Worlds Finest.

JGL dropped out.

RE: SANDMAN
So, as you might know if you like to follow these sorts of things, a while back, David Goyer and I made a producing deal with Warner Brothers to develop a movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN. Neil himself came on as an executive producer, we hired the excellent screenwriter, Jack Thorne, and we started in on the ambitious task of adapting one of the most beloved and boundary-pushing titles in the world of comics. I was pleased with the progress we were making, even though we still had quite a ways to go.
Recently, as you also might know if you like to follow these sorts of things, the sorta "ownership" (for lack of a better term) of the Sandman material changed hands when Warner Brothers shifted the entire catalogue of Vertigo comics (an imprint of DC) to their subsidiary, New Line. And a few months ago, I came to realize that the folks at New Line and I just don't see eye to eye on what makes Sandman special, and what a film adaptation could/should be. So unfortunately, I decided to remove myself from the project. I wish nothing but the best for the team moving forward.
I'd like to thank all the great people I've had the opportunity to work with on this one. I've had a blast with and learned a ton from David and Jack. Niija Kuykendall, Greg Silverman, and everyone at Warner Brothers have been fantastic, as have Geoff Johns and everyone at DC. And it's been a particular privilege as well as a rocking good time getting to know Mr. Gaiman, whose generous insights and masterful work have certainly convinced me that the Lord of Dreams and the Prince of Stories are one and the same Endless pattern.
