That was quite possibly the best pilot in the history of the CW Arrowverse. The cinematography was gorgeous. It was shot more like a movie; very like _Man of Steel_, as I said in the OP. Unlike _Man of Steel_ it was written by people that understood how to write a good Superman story. You need confront the Man of Steel with challenges he cannot just punch into submission - a father having a heart attack, a mother having a stroke, a teenager having an anxiety attack. I hope the show maintains this quality going forward. Best Easter egg was recreating Superman’s uniform from the 1940’s Fleischer cartoons: [![](https://www.rotoscopers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/superman07a.jpg) ](https://www.rotoscopers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/superman07a.jpg) His mother made it! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/superman-and-lois-season-1/933031)._
