This doesn't seem like a show I can see myself watching, especially since my comic book television is primarily Marvel focused. I hope the fans do enjoy it, though.

"Wow. Already the cast is better than the entirety of the Snyderverse. In addition to the costume being better than MOS & BVS.

Too bad about Jamal Olsen and Toyman but other than that I'm looking forward to this show.


Hope they give us a Superman and one who's in his real suit and doesn't look like Freddie Mercury this time."


It's moments like these where I think "Well humanity is [frick]ed."
