Superman & Lois TV series coming to The CW
https://tvline.com/2019/10/28/superm...x3n-PkYAsj0LAQ
It would be starring Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch from the current incarnation on Supergirl
Not a surprise about this.
I guess the working title is "Superman and Lois"

Former Flash showrunner Todd Helbing will pen Superman & Lois and serve as an executive producer alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns.

Soooo, who'll be Gay on this new show? Will there be guns? Will there be women in leadership roles? I have my "INCEL TEARS" bucket ready to collect just in case...

A lot of trepidation with this announcement. I have no confidence in the CW to pull off a Superman series. Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch were fine making guest appearances on Supergirl but they certainly aren't my ideal choices.
It will be interesting to see if they recast Luthor - Cryer as a regular may very well be too expensive for the CW. He doesn't need the money.

As for Superman, Tyler has been fine on his few appearances on Supergirl, but I'm not sure he can carry a series on his own. This also seems to be the nail in the coffin as far as any more Henry Cavill movies are concerned - as DC generally doesn't do both (The Flash character - whose movie is now reportedly DOA - aside).

Superman feels like a much more prestige project. Why would they put this on the CW when HBO Max is an available option? And forget Hoechlin, Routh is leaving LoT...I'd use him. Supergirl neutered this version of Superman anyway.

My eyes aren't so good any more. I read that as Superman IV series in development. I was wondering if Nuclear Man could really carry a series as the main villain.

Mixed feeling, but it takes place in the CW DCU so I probably wouldn’t watch. As I said, they’re just looking for more content, not so much caring about quality.
