I thin the producers want to avoid confilctins with the movies

 

[Flash525]

My only question is where is Superman while all this stuff is going on or are they not allowed to use him?

Plot convenience I'm afraid. It's like all those times Barry could run on over and help Ollie with a problem - it rarely, if ever happens because it would degrade (somewhat) the titular star of the respective show.

You would however think there'd be a mention as to how/why is isn't around though, rather than simply nothing.

 

[Thome216]

It could use a mention of him, as to why he can't help out, though Kara did mention him to her mother, didn't she?



It's also limitations from being able to use Superman too often and the availability of Hoechlin to play the part.


Another is that it is not Superman's show. Its Supergirl's. She's top dog on this one so Superman sightings are going to be rare.


I just imagine that while she's fighting Reign, he's fighting Doomsday in Metropolis.

 

[Dr Lee]

TBH, always felt that the show should have started with Superman leaving earth for some reason...Solves the entire issue in one swoop

That would be an awesome tag-match!

If the show runs for 10 years then Superman off earth for10 years? Sorry but I always felt any off Earth plot was a cop out.

This plot actually makes sense why he’s stay in Metropolis at least at the point we’re at now with the Earth terraforming. Metropolis and god knows where else will need him more than ever. Before that though when Supergirl was on Argo and they were worried she wouldn’t make it back in time Superman should have at least gotten a mention as a viable back up.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah, even The Flash mentions Kara as possible back-up sometimes. And sure, they come up with some contrived reason they can't/shouldn't call her, but I prefer that over pretending the option isn't there, as if hoping we're just gonna forget.

Obviously bring him back at some point... but then bring him in with an actor they can use more often than Tyler...

Not for me, I hate recasts and especially as Tyler played it perfectly. I don't think its all down to his availability either. The Supergirl producers had to get special permission to use Superman for the three episodes they had him in. So I don't think its down to them been able to use him when they feel like it.

This is why I've said it comes down to the WB allowing the use of Superman.

oh no... not talking about sending him off now and returning as someone else.. i meant that Superman should have been offworld from the start of the show..

WB need to stop the childish behaviour... we are intelligent people... we can tell that different universes are different universes... let the TV people use who they want...

It's strange, isn't it. There doesn't seem to be much consistency. They're okay to run (forgive the pun) with two Flash's, two Superman's (to some extent), two Deathstrokes, but then the Suicide Squad get removed because WB wants them in a movie, Amanda Waller gets killed off for the same reason, and of course there's the well-known block on Batman as far as TV goes.

And now we might never see Manu Bennett's Deathstroke on TV again because Joe Manganiello is (supposed to be) playing him in that upcoming Batman solo film.

Yeah, I'm assuming that after that [BLACKOUT]post-credits scene in JL[/BLACKOUT] Manganiello's Deathstroke will still be featuring somewhere in the DCEU.

I don’t think he should have been off world at the start. But I do agree that WBs need to realise that people aren’t that stupid.

 

[NotNickFury]

So anyway, Winn has a permanent new best friend.

‘Supergirl’: Jesse Rath Upped To Series Regular For Season 4


Jesse Rath, who recurred in Season 3 of Supergirl, has been promoted to series regular for Season 4 of the CW series.

Rath appeared in five episodes in Season 3, which airs its season finale on Monday, June 18.

“We love the character of Brainiac-5 and can’t imagine anyone but Jesse Rath in the role, said executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller. “He brings such fun, heart and brilliance to Brainy and we’re so excited he’s joining the cast as a series regular for season 4. We have a lot of great Brainy stories to tell.”

 

[Dr Lee]

If Brainy is staying..... does that mean Imra?

 

[BH/HHH]

Good character, let’s hope they can improve his look when he’s not in human form.

I don’t care if Immra comes back or not tbh didn’t really like her all that much. Thought she was boring tbh.

 

[Sithborg]

Glad Brainy is back.

 

[Dr Lee]

Apparently there are rumours that Woods has asked to be written out the show.... legit or Supercorp fans wishing hard?

 

[NotNickFury]

In other news, Winn will be taking a bit of a backseat moving forward.

Supergirl: Jeremy Jordan Shifts to Recurring Status in Season 4

Jeremy Jordan, who has been a series regular on the CW drama since it premiered on CBS in 2015, will return in a recurring capacity when the show kicks off its fourth season this fall, TVLine has learned exclusively.

“We love Jeremy, and even though he’s [not going to be around full-time], we’re not saying goodbye to Winn at all,” executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller tell TVLine. “We’re already breaking big stories for him right now for the fall, and I think the fans will be excited to see what he has coming up.”

Though the details surrounding Winn’s future are being under wraps for now — they’ll be revealed over the course of Monday’s season finale (The CW, 8/7c) — Rovner and Queller assure us that his next steps will be true to his character, adding that he’s ultimately “fulfilling his full potential.”

 

[Dark Raven]

I want Amy Jackson as a series regular next season.

And why can't Mechad Brooks be just recurring? He is pretty much that at the moment. There isn't really always room for his story.

 

[Dr Lee]

Was seeing rumours about Jordan earlier with the Rath news... and in the same breath as Jordan, people were talking about Harewood wanting a downgrade as well.... and Chris Woods wanting out completely...

 

[NotNickFury]

As long as Calista Flockhart continues to stay far away.

 

[BH/HHH]

Jordan is going places, he’s Uber talented. I imagine by the 5th season he’ll probably leave for good.

I am a hell no on Amy Jackson coming back. Imra was without doubt one of the most boring characters on th show imo.

Tbh other characters doing might not be the worst thing as the cast is stacked anyway. My only worry would be that this would mean we’d get more relationship crap with Alex and I’m just not into that side of the show.
