The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

I'm still holding out a lil hope we get some sort of tease for the movie at SDCC. Even if it is just another official photo with more of the cast or something.

FanDome 2021 is so funny in hindsight, it was 90% Arrowverse and just a few months later the Arrowverse cancellation blood bath happened

I enjoyed the Arrowverse for a bit, mainly the first 2-3 seasons of Flash/Arrow... I was probably one of the few that saw it through the end. The Flash deserved a better ending than it got. I should have given up on them a few seasons before they ended... but my mother was still watching them, so it gave us something nerdy to talk about lol.

I think Superman & Lois is by far the best CW superhero related product they have put out overall though.

So now we are in the part of the cycle where we stop talking Snyder and go into the Arrowverse? We need a reveal badly!

 

[Gothamsknight]

It's crazy how i only watched 3 episodes of Arrow and that was it for that universe for me. Not really sure why.

Yep, that's me, Clark. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation.

Lots of people don't like the Arrowverse. I totally get it. I can still enjoy the earlier seasons. I watched a couple of episode of The Flash s1 a year or two ago and still enjoyed it. That said, the flaws are there, and they definitely got worse (for me at least) around S3 of both Arrow & The Flash. I still had fun watching them up to a point while they aired.

 

[WatchProtect]

I forced myself through about 3 seasons of Arrow And Flash, never watched Supergirl, LOT, or any other ones I'm forgetting?

Except Superman And Lois which is great of course

Alex Ross doing new DC ****???

I'm really hoping since we are apparently skipping Superman's origins, we get the SM2 opening credit treatment of Alex Ross art depicting Kal-El's origins. I would loooove that!

 

[DKDetective]

My guess is that this is the second act fight that leads up to Superman being captured.

The Man in Black has support from his team, namely the Engineer. Superman's suit isn't damaged yet and I would expect the Man in Black to be unmasked by the time of any third act rematch.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah this certainly feels like the “Supes gets captured moment,” though it’s interesting that Terrific is on his side in this fight and appears to be defeated by the Engineer as well, yet we have seen no signs of him being detained. Maybe the Lord connection saves him, who knows.

I will say it’s nice to see how much of this fight the actors seem to be doing themselves. Or at least David, can’t tell so easily about Faria and Edi, but I think so. This must have been one of the scenes Rachel mentioned David was in Atlanta training for in the month before filming. Might explain why Faria has been the one posting more about David than just about anyone else in the cast, if they were training for this together and bonded quite a bit before the shoot.

I didn’t consider it 90% Arrowverse. There was a lot of comics content which was very well done.

The problem with cons, including Fandome is that people only attend for trailers. And people like to complain.

 

[Ninjablade]

Really cool seeing David wired up and doing all this stuff on location. Should greatly enhance the final look. Definitely looks like the big end of second act set piece that'll lead to Superman's arrest. Should be cool.

 

[Captain Tired]

Nah this is just a pre-titles skit

All of this makes a lot of sense. Terrific on Supes' side makes a lot of sense based on the other stuff we have seen, like the sequence where he seems to break Krypton out!

He is probably the only hero Supes can trust at this point. I'm not super familiar with the character, but given what I understand regarding his high intelligence, I'm guessing he is one of the few who doesn't buy Superman's framing.

Bro's jetpack is done

Bro's jetpack is done

Oh ok, well I guess that answers my query from above! Looks like they just knock Terrific out and leave him there while they take Supes. Which is why Terrific’s free to mount a rescue attempt.

The first season of Black Lightning is pretty decent.

 

[flickchick85]

Black Lightning was kind of the proto-Superman & Lois where it focused on the family man aspect of the superhero. The last season was a mess and S&L is better, but it was still definitely better than their average show.

I thought the blue color of the suit would make it difficult for the special effects crew to erase the 'spinning rig' in post, but I guess not!

 

[hopefuldreamer]

This is the lamest attempt at a scoop I've ever seen...

Oh ok, well I guess that answers my query from above! Looks like they just knock Terrific out and leave him there while they take Supes. Which is why Terrific’s free to mount a rescue attempt.

Also looks like he is checking a device (Phone? Tracking device?) similar to the one he's checking in that scene with the pet store/possible Krypto

This is interesting. Could be big spoilers Tuesday!
