That’s…a very interesting idea. I’ve brought up a couple of times in this thread that we haven’t actually seen any internal evidence in this show that it takes place on the Arrowverse Earth-1, and in fact some circumstantial evidence points to it not being Earth-1. If this is a world that is going to become merged with Earth-1, it certainly resolves a number of continuity issues.
Against that, though, is that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a TV or movie adaptation ever be nearly that ambitious with that kind of in-universe pre-retconning.
I agree. I was really impressed by Tyler Hoechlin. The way he conveyed with facial expressions and body language the pure joy of his first flight, then the devastation of heartbreak when he realizes that Lana is in love with someone else, and then channeling Christopher Reeve…Honestly, I didn’t much like Tyler Hoechlin as Superman when he first appeared on Supergirl. I think this may be the first time I’ve truly bought him as Clark and as Superman.
