SUPERGIRL: Season Two

[PNGwynne]

Welling would be a terrific choice IMO--his charm, regardless, was one of the best aspects of an uneven show.

It occurs to me that, ironically, they have Brandon Routh just hangin' around the continuity doing something else. It'd be great to see him take another shot at the role.

^I wouldn't mind that one bit, but it would probably confuse the casual viewers of these CW shows way too much.

And for the record, I don't want Welling to play HIS Clark Kent. I just want him to play the archetypal Superman/Clark Kent. We haven't seen that guy in a LONG time.

Looks like they're going back to full-on multiversity and not the fifedom nonsense. Good. CW can save WB from itself if they can ignore the hissy fits from the film division. WB Film usually kills off everything we would like due to their egos.

I'm hoping for Artie Lange.

I think they've already confused them with the Henry Allen - Jay Garrick thing. I don't think they'd do it either, but Routh's Superman (what we've seen of him) would fit with what we've been shown of Clark so far on SG.

I think Welling has a very good shot. He fits the John Wesley Shipp nostalgia role but is very known by Millenials as one of the first stars of CW. If you're twenty today, you were ten when Smallville was in its heyday.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^I'm surprised he's interested. He was apparently pretty adamant about not wearing the suit in the finale. Or maybe that was the film studio sitting on them.

Either way, it's much cooler to be a super hero now, even than it was back when Smallville ended. Far less damaging via typecasting.

Maybe they'll get the poor guy we see in the opening credits....

Snapper Carr & Lena Luthor in Season Two...plus Maggie Sawyer ?

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Because EVERYONE wants more Snapper Carr!

Who, me?

As much as Kal-El seemed to be portrayed as much wimpier than his cousin in Supergirl, think there's any possibility that what's in the pod at the end of the season is perhaps the REAL Superman and the one whom we've never seen has been some type of lesser doppelganger all along....?

[johnnystorm]

That's a great idea!

Look, I'm not a fan of Tom Welling, most of you know that. Not because he doesn't have the look of Supes...sure...he does...but because he played Clark Kent and not SUPERMAN for a friggin decade...and only rewarded fans with 20 seconds of actual Superman footage in the FINAL episode...all from a long shot...and in the friggin dark...I don't give him a pass...how insanely absurd and pathetic that was...garbage. He definitely had the influence and power to be Superman (especially in the latter years)...but elected not to...for those things...he was never Superman to me, just Clark Kent. Heck, the Turkish Superman is more Superman to me than Tom Welling.

Having said that...if he were to appear as SUPERMAN (finally)...I'm all for it...because it sure beats the imbecilic and stupid way of just mentioning his name but not showing him in Supergirl (like Smallville in a way, but worse). All we saw in Supergirl...was his boots...laying unconscious, like a big useless dummy (in the series finale). I hope if Willing (or whoever is cast) shows up...please...for the love of God...start giving Superman SOME BLOODY RESPECT...because they treated him like crap...one of the reasons I really started HATING the Supergirl series..."Oh, Supergirl, you are so much faster than your cousin" "Oh, Kara, you defeated that baddie, something Superman could never do". In the series finale...even lowly humans snapped outta their hypnotic trance...even squirrels...but nooooooooo...not Superman, because in this Supergirl universe...he's nothing but a big blue/red dummy.

It's going to take a LOT from me to watch the second season of Supergirl...A LOT...

I'd rather have Routh as Superman...freek that Atom crap. restore him back as Superman with a better costume. Hell no to Welling. lol
