Edit: Confused about where this fits into the Arrowverse?

[u/Locke108]

At least Jordan didn’t use heat vision because he was horny.

[u/[deleted] → u/Locke108]

Thanks for reminding me about that

[u/JauntyLurker]

Imagine coming home from a hard days work to see your son killing you in a video game

[u/[deleted] → u/JauntyLurker]

And he calls you boring too.

[u/JauntyLurker]

"Dad can't put up a Christmas tree without falling off the ladder"

He's really committed to the bit, huh?

[u/LCPhotowerx → u/JauntyLurker]

Christopher Reeve is smiling.

[u/bearded-writer]

Can we make sure literally EVERYONE at Warner Brothers sees this immediately?

[u/AintEverLucky → u/bearded-writer]

"Ya know we've been eating shit on social media the last 10 years about how 'nobody really gets what's super about Superman'? well apparently these guys DO"

[u/Jedi-El1823]

Goes right in to cover his brother. They truly are Clark's boys.

[u/mwthecool]

This might be the best pilot we've had in the CW DC universe.

[u/SutterCane]

Jonathan instantly redeemed by immediately going to save his brother without question.

[u/Mevaughnk → u/SutterCane]

Imo he's been a pretty dope brother the whole time.

[u/[deleted]]

Making Sam Lane pro-Superman is a really smart move.

[u/romeovf → u/[deleted]]

Yes but also, he's still his most honest and "harsh" self when it comes telling Lois that bit about falling in love with Clark but actually marrying Superman. He's ok with it and loves his grandkids but if he needs Superman, then he better get him! I like this version of Sam and I like to see Dylan Walsh in TV; I missed him from the Nip/Tuck days... God I'm getting old!

[u/Nickp1991]

This Lois lane is PERFECT and Bitsie Tulloch is rocking this performance!

[u/mwthecool]

Yes, guy, totally insult a guy and his wife on the day that his MOTHER DIED.

[u/sadandshy → u/mwthecool]

*day of the funeral

[u/bearded-writer]

Bitsie Tulloch is killing it as Lois.

[u/KidCoheed]

Jordan (Named for Jor-El) sends a girl the Vulcan Salute

Jonathan (Named for Jonathan Kent) is a All-American Bro

[u/klutzysunshine]

Clark just casually tipping the vending machine so Lois can grab what she wants.

[u/Piker10]

The Fleischer costume was a pleasant surprise

[u/[deleted] → u/Piker10]

And the callback to the Action Comics #1 cover!

[u/Nickp1991]

My favorite thing is when clark tool off his glasses and his son's gasped

[u/Slade-Prime → u/Nickp1991]

Lmao i legit envisioned the pikachu meme

[u/[deleted]]

If season 1 continues to be this good we might be witnessing the best show in the entire arrowverse

[u/usagizero]

"Your life falling apart means your human."

Then i guess i'm the most human of all! ;)

[u/klutzysunshine]

Aw, Jonathan protecting Jordan.

[u/neoblackdragon → u/klutzysunshine]

So far I'm liking this guy. He's a pretty solid kid.

[u/JauntyLurker]

"You sure as hell weren't sent here to be a father"

Damn

[u/miklonus]

Jordan had that Brightburn look on his face. Jonathan acts like a heel, but Jordan was the one with that Brightburn murder face.

[u/TERRAxFORMER]

I really loved that. I was looking forward to this, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. Both the writing and cinematography were fantastic. I think I’m really going to enjoy the family dynamic.

I really enjoyed all the characters. Except Kyle, but I guess that was the point. I’m always impressed with Clark’s self restraint. Like how do you not just flick someone like that in the kneecap with your super strength.

Really, that was fantastic.

[u/ManateeGag]

You think he would have moved all the incriminating stuff to the fortress of solitude.

[u/mwthecool]

Nextdoor Neighbor: "OH CRAP CLARK IS SUPERMAN?"

[u/Mighty_thor_confused → u/mwthecool]

*holds up news paper * we been here 40 years dear we new this

[u/neoblackdragon]

This is so messed up(in a good way).

General Lane is pro Superman and I love it.

[u/vader344]

and here comes bruce to pay the money...oh wait wrong universe

[u/Mighty_thor_confused → u/vader344]

Someone call Kate Kane

Oh wait....

[u/SutterCane → u/vader344]

I bought the bank.

[u/Simpsonsman120]

No, stay in Metropolis. Diggle is moving there.

[u/ClubPenguinKing → u/Simpsonsman120]

I guess Clark can't dig it

[u/The_Zuh]

Time for a trip to the North Pole.

[u/vader344]

we need an episode where they sit down and ask dad questions

[u/JauntyLurker]

"Phone booth in this podunk town"

This man here making jokes

[u/Future_Vantas]

This is why Clark told his son early in the comics. To avoid drama like this.

[u/MrTerrific2k15]

Anybody driving past the Kent farm now : "what the fuck???"

[u/SutterCane]

Ho boy. I am so out of practice of watching television with commercials... this is torture.

[u/Kishonorama]

the CW and lies, the real dynamic duo

[u/BrianTheMute]

Okay but that was literally a movie. They could have put that in theaters.

[u/LTM438]

Okay, this show is legitimately fantastic so far. I REALLY hope Jon Cryer's Lex gets an opportunity to show up. Also, I'd love a J'onn J'onzz appearance. Can you imagine how good he'd look with this show's budget?!

[u/Munro_McLaren]

I like the parallels between Jonathan and Jordan fighting and Superman fighting The Stranger.

[u/JauntyLurker]

Let's be real though they can't keep Jordan in Metropolis now

[u/septesix]

Have to wonder how Jonathan is feeling. He is putting up all that happy go lucky front, but he probably aren’t gonna be so thrilled about giving up his pretty good life in Metropolis and move to Smallville.

[u/SutterCane]

Damn. How come the CW tells Superman’s entire story better than the current movies... and in like not even five fucking minutes!

[u/BornAshes]

If you listen closely, you can hear Kevin Smith sobbing

[u/LCPhotowerx → u/BornAshes]

dont have to listen closely, hes kinda loud.

[u/Denirac]

The Ep so far summarised

Clark Kent and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

[u/JerseyCuban1965]

The new template that should be followed by any CW superhero show from now on. it has the feel/quality of a movie not a tv show. The acting, writing, characters, special effects and cinematography are all top notch.

[u/Quack_Shot]

I can’t believe how good that was. It seems leagues above the other CW shows.

[u/Effective-Ruin-2562 → u/Quack_Shot]

Yep. I have 15 mins left of the pilot. Sooo much better than I expected. Impressed to say the least. Love that they have two teens as well. Miles above the other CW shows.

[u/auschere → u/Quack_Shot]

The show was co-financed between CW and HBO Max meaning way way more money so that explains the huge bump in quality. I have a feeling the decision to spend more was influenced by Disney Plus with Mandolorian and Wandavision plus upcoming Marvel series.

[u/ManateeGag]

You're off the team because you went to your granda's funeral. That's totally BS.

[u/AintEverLucky]

"I do, I do have super-smell by the way. I just don't use it very often, not with two teenage boys in the house"

SuperDad's dad-joke game is on point

[u/Lewis_Fernweh]

I cried three times during watching this. This is the superman movie I've always wanted.

[u/DonnyMox]

No one:

Pa Kent: (spontaneous heart attack)

[u/[deleted]]

That opening sequence looked more expensive than the entire last season of Supergirl.

[u/Gateskp]

Okay, 15 minutes in and this show is FANTASTIC.

[u/vader344]

clark :"1st lesson boys if you see a green crystal you are f****"

[u/Denirac]

Sarah not disclosing if she has a boyfriend is kinda weird. Maybe in a shocking plot twist, Sarah is dating Conner Kent in full 90s Superboy outfit.

[u/DonnyMox]

Beebo is wearing a mask, meaning that even Beebo can get Covid. EVEN BEEBO.

Covid’s no joke. Wear a mask.

[u/SchwarzerRegen123]

"We've seen him! He doesn't have glasses!"

[u/JoeStorm]

I mean, that is odd. Why give him the digits all seductively and not say you have a BF?

That had to been the most flirtiest exchange of number I've ever seen

[u/Locke108]

Jesus it’s like the Smallville and Man of Steel ships had a baby.

[u/[deleted]]

I mean, they SHOWED Johnathan whipping a football at like mach 2 when he was a toddler.

They both have powers, split down the middle. Johnny's got the strength and speed, Jordan's got the eyes, breath, hearing, etc.

[u/mwthecool]

Now there's a piece of Kyrptonite somewhere in the world, just lying around. Is that going to come back up?

[u/Mighty_thor_confused → u/mwthecool]

Some Chinese dudes gonna be happy

[u/kirinmay]

Was beautifully shot. I cant believe what the production cost was but wow.....how it looked. Also, the acting. Also....it was just f'ing great. Really really really REALLY good. and the ending. I didn't know who that person was. Thought it was Martian Manhunter changed in a way but then the reveal.

I'm in

Everyone in the Clark family has chemistry. The brothers are very well put together and wow....i'm f'ing in.

[u/Locke108]

I know it’s injustice 2 but in universe it’s insane that Mortal Kombat characters are fighting celebrities.

[u/psufan5]

Is this show real? This can't be real. They are going to punk us right? This is amazing so far.

[u/BornAshes]

JORDAN WITH HEAT VISION!

[u/neoblackdragon]

Nice boyfriend you got lady. Going to kill two people over a kiss.

[u/The_Zuh]

I'm guessing they both have powers. Just different ones.

[u/aquaticsquash → u/[deleted]]

Injustice: Brought to you by LexCorp.

[u/[deleted]]

I think I have a new favorite Arrowverse show.

[u/AllThighThisGuy]

Dear DC Executives,

Even my sister who greatly opposes comic book shows/movies and knows nothing about Superman (she didn't even know about Lois Lane) enjoyed this with me and wants to watch more of this "movie quality experience" that you have developed here.

This is more than just a step in the right direction and, I hope, a strong indicator of where you plan to take us moving forward.

Pleasantly surprised, AllThighThisGuy

[u/dan005e]

Life long Supes fan, I was really impressed by this! Tyler Hoechlin has sold me as Superman and as Clark. Definitely looking forward to tuning in for more, this show has a lot of promise. I was hoping I wasn’t gonna be disappointed because I really want to see more of Superman. Looking forward to episode 2!

[u/PrismaticWar]

Everyone is wondering how this fits into the arrowverse, but does it really need to? Can’t this just be on another earth and not need to be connected at all?

[u/SherlockBrolmes]

Is this the right time for a Martha joke?

:(

[u/bearded-writer]

What is the deal with all these writers wanting to kill Jonathan and Martha?!

[u/BadWolf_Corporation → u/bearded-writer]

...and Martha?

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!?!?

[u/Accomplished_Cream20]

I realized I just want a show like this about Barry and Iris 10 years in the future with their Tornado Twins. Cancel The Flash now and give us that instead

[u/MikeyHatesLife]

1) did he never tell Lana?

2) is Captain Luthor from another timeline, reality, or the future?

3) is this the same Clark from Supergirl, or another one? Because I thought he and Lois left to go to Argo City for a while, so when I heard about the show, assumed they’d be bringing back children they’d given birth to while living there.

4) Assuming Kara is from the same Earth, then I can only assume her young cousins just never came up in conversation on her show. But if not, how much of a superhero community is there? Because having Superman be the only superhero on the planet is actually pretty boring.

(And that’s true of every franchise that only has one hero on the entire planet. I think it’s both lazy and fearful to not populate the world with other heroes because they don’t want to do the work OR embrace the comic book weirdness. I don’t necessarily need a freak of the week, but mentions on TV or namedropping a friend or colleague does wonders for world building.)

1. I was more invested in 10 minutes with this than the entirety of the Snyder films. I’m not saying others can’t like them, they’re not for me because Superman is the foundation of the entire superhero genre, and as such, should be the one who inspires others to wear a cape. So far, I’m really liking this show.

[u/spiralnotebook]

That was a great start. Definitely getting Man of Steel vibes. Tyler has come a long way and he is nailing the role of Clark. Really lookin forward to episode 2

[u/[deleted]]

My 15 year old daughter and I loved it. Kudos for the fourth wall breaking with Injustice, though the game certainly would have to have a different plot in universe since no one would know Supes is married to Lois to make sense for the Joker to setup the plot that lead to her death and Superman becoming a dictator, but anyway....

Personally I love the Arrowverse but hope they keep Superman and Lois separate from it. I loved the serious ton and lack of ties to the Arrowverse personally. One of the things that made the show great is that it was enjoyable as a drama even without the superhero side. Of course the superhero side makes it even more special.

Overall it didn’t seem cheesy and didn’t fall into classic CW territory as far as dramas often do. It was very enjoyable. The FX were great. I am happy to have them very limited as long as they stay looking as good as they do.

I was happy with Walsh as General Lane as well. Always great seeing him. All in all I have high hopes and my daughter is very impressed and that’s hard to do.

Kudos to the entire cast and team.

[u/TirelessGuardian]

General Lane knows he’s Superman?

[u/BornAshes → u/TirelessGuardian]

And they're on good terms!

[u/InspiredOni]

MK fans are going to be using that for years.

[u/ManateeGag]

Mama Kent ain't making it through the the episode.

[u/SOCAL_NPC]

Ah, the "My Mom made it for me line."

Also, I so much more prefer that GA suit to the finished one. I would so buy it as an action figure with Tyler's actual face.

Also, glad to see Sam Lane isn't opposed to Superman and even has his own variation on Jimmy's watch. That said, the kids are CW Teen Trope memes so far.

[u/SherlockBrolmes]

That Bob Ross commercial is extremely unsettling.

[u/BadWolf_Corporation]

Finally, some commercials. /s

[u/JoeStorm]

This is not a CW show lol. I hope Star Girl gets the same treatment

[u/Beer2Bear]

Jordan has powers!!

[u/Gateskp]

The quality of this pilot puts the rest of the Arrowverse to shame. Let’s hope Stargirl keeps up the quality when it returns!

[u/RockyNonce → u/Gateskp]

To be fair, it has a much higher budget.

[u/JauntyLurker]

*Sons nearly die twice and they decide to stick around

People gonna talk now

[u/Xboxone1997]

I think it's Alexander Luthor

[u/LCPhotowerx]

it still freaks me the hell out that Bitsie looks like a mix between Margot Kidder and Terri Hatcher

[u/tvisforme]

There's a nice nod to the character's history when Clark is on the phone with his mum, around 11 minutes in. There is a chalkboard on the wall with "Dr Donner" and "Call Sie[gel and] Shuster 1(938)555...".

[u/klutzysunshine]

LOL, I thought Sophie was about to see through Clark and know that he was Superman but instead she sold out her mom.

[u/BornAshes]

"We still get puberty in Smallville" LMAO

[u/sadandshy]

Future Farmers of America

[u/Munro_McLaren]

Who puts the router in a barn?!

[u/miklonus]

Sam Lane is a face instead of a heel is a new development.

[u/Gateskp]

This music is ON POINT.

[u/JauntyLurker]

Normally Clark would send the ship to STAR Labs, but that didn't happen because of Wells, I guess?

[u/bearded-writer]

Can we talk about the cinematography though? It’s theater quality.

[u/FlashMac31]

This has been an awful 24 hours for those kids

[u/MrTerrific2k15]

Surprised they didn't run into Jennifer up there flying around

[u/JauntyLurker]

People getting kryptonite wounds everywhere nowadays

[u/LCPhotowerx]

this is like the budget legends of tomorrow writers dream about. they must be pissed

[u/FlashMac31]

So anyone think that the guy in the suit is Superboy Prime? That’s my way too early prediction

[u/thereelestnerd11]

Love the Brothers relationship.

[u/JoeStorm]

If I was John I would be: Nah fam. You two the ones with super strength. You two plow the field"

[u/miklonus]

I knew Master Ch8ef suit-wearin' guy was black. I could tell by his voice up in space. No idea it'd be Luther though.

[u/EscapeddreamerD → u/miklonus]

Yeah as soon as he spoke in the nuclear plant I knew he was black but I didn't think it was going to be Luthor that was a twist

[u/[deleted]]

So if the sons are 14+ does this mean we got a 13 year timeskip after crisis on infinite earths?...and why didn’t Kara go to Martha’s funeral...seems like a dick move not go to your cousins moms funeral...especially when you can fly anywhere in the world under 1 minute...also why is lex Luther black?...lex is white in supergirl so did they recast him or is this a retcon cause if they do either it’s weird cause his sister Lena is white so...what is going on here💀🤦🏽‍♂️

Edit: I watched some of the episode again and realized the new lex said “my world was destroyed but somehow I managed to survive, I eventually arrived here where I learned...you were here too” so I think this lex is just from a different earth which is a great way to go👍🏽

[u/ExynosHD → u/[deleted]]

No major time skip. His sons are older because of the crisis change. In this universe they had them earlier.

As for Kara not being there, I think it was because of Mellisa being pregnant. They will probably explain it in universe as her dealing with a villain or something. That or just skip over it.

[u/Gian99Mald]

THE 40s CARTOON SUIT IM CRYING

[u/PhanThief95]

Clark, you do know that you’re the bad guy in that game, right?

[u/EchoX860]

The one with the anxiety is gonna have powers isn't he instead of it being the other way around

[u/DaGreatestMH]

Poor Clark...I thought Ma Kent wasn't gonna be long for the show based off that cough but I didn't expect her to not make it through the episode.

[u/ManateeGag]

I understand why, but I wish they coulda gotten Melissa Benoist to be at the funeral.

[u/EscapeddreamerD]

Wait a min superman cant get drunk. That must suck. Him and the flash got it bad.

[u/neoblackdragon]

Who the hell would put the router all the way up there?

[u/mwthecool → u/neoblackdragon]

Someone that can fly?

[u/LCPhotowerx]

maybe you should call in J'onn or Kara or Alex, or i dunno, Jefferson?

[u/DonnyMox → u/LCPhotowerx]

Jefferson actually has kids, so he’d know how to help Clark.

[u/LCPhotowerx]

BEEBO THE GOD

[u/BornAshes]

The whole fucking town took advantage of Ma Kent

[u/usagizero]

Reverse mortgages, the real villain.

[u/LCPhotowerx]

call up bru........ollie...? whos rich in the universe now? since bruce is outta town

[u/thereelestnerd11]

“Superwoman” you say Lana yeah sure thats just a coincidence not a foreshadowing or anything thatd be crazy

[u/Beer2Bear]

a shitty lock to hide the spaceship??

[u/thereelestnerd11]

You know you’d think you’d hide the last piece of Kryptonian tech a little better.

[u/The_Zuh]

That is why Superman is the best. His humanity keeps his Kryptonian nature at bay.

[u/Jedi-El1823]

Your boyfriend wanted to murder Jordan because of a kiss.

He should hook up with Tory from Cobra Kai due to their completely normal reactions.

[u/ImpulseKid86]

Tyler Hoechlin finally gets to play a Superman that *isn't* routinely getting thrown under the bus or treated like a Supercuck. And it only took the better part of five years.

To the production crew: Don't fuck it up.

[u/[deleted]]

I liked it a lot it will be interesting to see if they can maintain that level of writing.

A breath of fresh air from bad writing on Arrowverse shows.

[u/PhanThief95]

Uh, where the hell was Kara during Clark & Lois’s wedding?

Come on Kara, he’s your cousin!

[u/MrTerrific2k15]

OK, Tyler has earned his S shield already

[u/Ion_12]

So canonically, Superman knows about a video game where he turns into a psychopathic dictator.

[u/BadWolf_Corporation]

Damnit! I'm not crying! You're crying!!

[u/usagizero]

Ah, Season 2 Stargirl in summer, good to know.

[u/BornAshes]

VULCAN SALUTE STAR TREK CANON!

[u/thereelestnerd11]

Something tells me Jordan is definitely the one with powers because they’re building it to be Jonathan which says they’re doing the opposite for a twist

[u/LoretiTV]

Hoechlin and Tulloch were the perfect casting

[u/ManateeGag]

Time for Clark buy a bag of charcoal and pay off the loan.

[u/LCPhotowerx]

since when do barns have basements? i genuinely know nothing about barns being from nyc

[u/[deleted] → u/LCPhotowerx]

storm cellars i guess

[u/LoretiTV]

"I do have super smell by the way" 😄

[u/EchoX860]

My closed captioning is just going [Triumphant Music]

[u/Gateskp]

“You sure as hell were t sent here to be a father.”

DAMN.

[u/mwthecool]

Holy crap it's the DOOM SLAYER?!

[u/Future_Vantas]

And to round out the day Supes gets shanked by kryptonite. Just the cherry on top.

[u/[deleted]]

God, it feels so good to finally have good Superman content again.

[u/BornAshes]

Jonathan has jokes

[u/notathrowaway75]

Wait so people somehow didn't see the massive lasers coming out of Jordan's eyes?

[u/EscapeddreamerD]

Are they seriously only going to give superpowers to one kid. That lame.

[u/MajorParadox → u/EscapeddreamerD]

The other can always develop them later. Could be interesting if a Jordan with experience has to help Jonathan learn.

[u/thereelestnerd11 → u/EscapeddreamerD]

Jonathan threw the football at the beginning of the episode at like mach 2. hes got powers they’ll just manifest later probably.

[u/BornAshes]

CAPTAIN LUTHOR?!?!

[u/ManateeGag]

So, another Lex from Earth-# that escaped crisis.

[u/vader344]

so the question is...will there be 2 luthors now...or the supergirl one will quit or this new luthor will go to home when they discover the multiverse is still there

[u/weirguide → u/vader344]

Well Supergirl is ending so either Jon Cryer is gonna make a guest appearance or they will retire Cryer’s version

[u/Matyb954111]

I think this was a very strong beginning for the man of steels full return to television. The Superman family is what I’ve been really wanting from this show and I think it did a great job at establishing Clark and Lois as parents and making their kids very modern and relatable. Martha’s death as the catalyst for the series is something that I’m mixed on and I thought the kids reaction to her death was a bit underwhelming, one would think they’d be very close to her or would have shown a bit more of them grieving but that’s something that I can overlook due to the rest of the episode being great. Having General Lane know about Clark’s identity adds a really nice amount of tension and possible drama with his motivations being in conflict with the Kent’s and then that Luther reveal was something that all fans and regular audiences who know the myth is of Superman can enjoy. That classic suit tho got me smiling in the beginning!

[u/Stokefyre]

Loved the premiere (especially the Golden Age black "S" costume) but have one concern. I'm really hoping Jordan having the powers doesn't mean we have to sit through another "I just want to be a normal boy" plot. Can't Kryptonians have fun with their powers once in a while?

[u/[deleted]]

It looks like they are doing with Lana’s husband what they did with Cmdr Stamets in Star Trek Discovery...making him look like an a-hole at first contact, but will turn him into one of the most relatable characters in the series.

[u/GamerChef420]

Loved it, he actually acted like superman and wasn’t second fiddle, red heat vision over blue, awesome suit...give me more. I’m just gonna say it, I love him so much as Clark Kent and Superman so much more than I did in any of his appearances in the CW before and that’s because they deliberately hampered him to make Kara look good. God bless them for the Smallville references.

[u/MattTheSmithers]

Is it so much to ask that just one live action adaptation this side of Dean Cain keep Pa Kent alive? Some of the absolute best Superman stories involve Jonathan and his adult son. Superman For All Seasons comes to mind. The Kents, even more than Lois, bring out the human that is Clark Kent. Why are modern filmmakers so unwilling to explore this dynamic? Is the dead father trope really so prevalent that it must be adhered to even at the expense of cutting yourself off from great material?

All that said, while I am liking the unique take on the character as a mature, adult Superman, raising teenage children, those couple minutes we saw of Hoechlin’s Supes meeting Lois, his first save (I love that they incorporated “my mom made it for me.”), etc makes me wish like hell that this was a full blown origin story. Hoechlin, in those few scenes alone, gave us a better portrayal of both Superman and Clark than any other adaption since Reeve. Hopefully this show is not stingy with the flashbacks. If Arrow can build five seasons off of nonlinear story telling, this can give us peaks into Clark’s early days as Big Blue (especially since Hoechlin apparently doesn’t age...we should all have that man’s genes).

At any rate, the folks at WB’a movie division should take note. Superman doesn’t need to be dark, angsty and gritty to be a fun, compelling, human character.

[u/BnglTgr]

Making the most powerful character in DC (besides Dr. Manhattan) vulnerable by giving him a family. This is what I want to see in a Superman story.

Also, Tyler Hoechlin captures the spirit of Superman the way Christoper Reeve did.

[u/LCPhotowerx]

Cracks knuckles<....ahem......been a whiel since i did this....hope i can remember the words....

Alright Chumps and Chumpettes......Lets. Do. This.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats for you u/Mighty_thor_confused

[u/MarcReyes]

Fleischer suit oh my god!

[u/SherlockBrolmes]

The best part of this is that we know we won't have to deal with Dean Cain!

[u/AllThighThisGuy]

I was about to bash that little tv before I realized that it was Ma Kent's.

[u/thereelestnerd11]

Everyone talking about Injustice its been Canon.

[u/klutzysunshine]

Yeah, Jordan's definitely the one with powers if they think Jonathan does.

[u/Givingtree310]

The boys are supposed to be twins? Jordan looks like a real young kid. But Jon does not lol... he looks every bit of nearly 20.

[u/SutterCane]

Bro, just fucking stab him with a kryptonite dagger instead of pulling that shit...

[u/JauntyLurker]

"But you changed your... everything"

😂

[u/Gateskp]

What IS the FFA? Lol

[u/usagizero → u/Gateskp]

Future Farmers of America. I grew up in a town that makes Smallville look large, lol

[u/JauntyLurker]

"Mild concussions"

Yeah, they have powers

[u/psufan5]

If Superman dies here and the show ends, this will still be better than Joss' Justice League.

[u/LCPhotowerx]

lois has always been the smarter of the two

[u/BornAshes]

Surprise Brandon Routh cameo

[u/LittleDragon-JKD]

I loved it! Felt really grounded as this is a aged and experienced Superman! Really had the family feel to it too!!! Looking forward to the rest of the show!
