This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]517799[/split]
Superverse...?t:
I think based on the overall rapid and overwhelmingly positive response over Tyler's portrayal as Clark Kent / Superman. Warner Bros. are going to give in and somehow bring Superman back to tv. I menthe fandom outcry is bound to get their attention. In all honesty I think it's perfectly legitimate to have a film cinematic Superman and a Tv Superman together.
I wonder if we'll get a young Superboy from Cadmus (ala Conner Kent?) Smallville did a great job introducing that character.
I would like to see a Superman CW show. Only thing is, I don't want the show to be the reason why we wouldn't get a Superman movie from the DCEU. We should have a Superman show airing on...I don't know, Tuesdays (throwing a day here), while awaiting the next Superman film that could even come out the Friday that same week.

You know I wonder why CW haven't thought about doing an animated web series ala vixen, with Tyler doing the voice. This way we get to see more of this experienced superman's adventures without violating WB's 'dilution of the brand' policy. I'd certainly be keen since we haven't had a superman solo animated show in a long while.
Having just binged season 1 and not yet started season 2 or seen Hoechlin's portrayal, I will say that the DCEU is no reason to stall a Superman show. Hell, whatever it is we have in the DCEU sure as hell isn't Superman. The creative team of Supergirl, through instant messages from Clark, have captured the character better than Snyder has ever dreamed of. The whole tone of this show is precisely what Superman should have been on screen. Instead we are met with a dark, melancholy, joyless doppleganger on the big screen. If CW can give the audiences the Superman they deserve, I am all for it.

"looks at Welling"
If only he actually wore the jacket like that, or a full suit that the jacket came from with a cape. Or maybe...THE SUIT! omg welling
I like both versions. And Hoechlin's version is different from Cavill's for one good reason: Cavill's Superman has been active for 2-3 years, while Hoechlin's has been active for 15+ years. There was going to be a world of difference, not just because the CW version didn't want to copy the what had been in the DCEU.
I'm getting really sick of people bashing on Cavill's Superman; he IS Superman, and funny enough, Hoechlin's isn't perfect. Like I said in my review of S2E2, his stance on kryptonite makes him an idiot, that would make it impossible to see him team up with, or even trust, Batman if he ever appeared. The only way to fix it would be to show Superman in his next appearance why having it would be a good thing, but that feels so cliche that I don't want that. Also, if he decided to give Batman kryprtonite, and not back to Jonn, or both, it would make him a hypocrite.
But that, along with Snapper in S2E3, adds to a problem with the show that I'm seeing since this season started: if a character is arguing against Supergirl or Superman, they are just wrong even if they're right, all because those two are big stars as well as household names.
What was I talking about? lol
Anyway, Hoechlin and Cavill's Supermans are good. Stop bashing Cavill's.
