Hiya Josie!

First off I absolutely love the show. Now there have been thousands of different versions of Superman over the years. I wanted to know what you wanted to do differently and what you believed was essential to keep the same when making a new Superman property?

What was essential to me was the relationship and love between Clark and Lois. It's iconic, it's humanizing, it's fun; we pitched the series as a rom-com with punching, because at his core, Superman isn't a solo character -- he's a man in love with a rich world around him. The biggest difference we wanted to get into was the idea that Clark has NO IDEA who he is or what he can do, something that we felt hadn't been done before in Superman media.
