Superman & Lois: The Ultimate Superman Adaptation 

Having John Henry Irons be called Captain Luthor in the beginning was genius. It threw all of us off the trail of who he could actually be. The reveal was definitely an OMG moment.

It’s great that they included Lana Lang without forcing a love triangle.

I don't see Jonathan's kindness as "unrealistic." He actually reminds me of my oldest nephew, and I see Jonathan's behavior as very realistic.

This show proves wrong all the people that say superman should be darker and edgier or he becomes boring. This superman IS the classic superman from the comics and he is still fucking badass and absolutely relatable.

as soon as Clark said "thanks! my mom made it for me! 🥰" I knew he would be my favorite superman

This show is actually Legitimately A Great show

The budget is super important for a show that emphasizes CGI and Cinematography. This show has perfected it

Cinematography and special effects aside. All the other CW shows really need, is Superman and Lois' level of writing.

"We've never seen Lois as a mother." Damn man, way to throw shade at Superman Returns.

You also nailed it with the relationship between Clark and Lois, in this show they are actually portrayed as goddamn mature adults in an actual healthy relationship who know how to communicate and respect each other. My mind is blown 🤔😆

Honestly Tyler is my favorite live action Clark Kent and Superman

I think some of the reasons why some people aren’t watching it are because of the cw, dc I’m general, and the Snyder only people. Tyler Hoechlin is my favorite live action Superman. More people should watch this

Shows like Stargirl, Superman&Lois and early seasons of The Flash and Arrow prove that the CW CAN make amazing superhero shows. They just need to get their heads out of their butts. And less episodes per season.

This is the live action Superman that, as a lifelong fan, I've been waiting for.

the show is very underrated and needs more exposure. it hasnt gotten alot of promotion and alot of people are turned off by it cause its a CW show. S&L has to always defend themselves from the snyder fans and supergirl fans that are putting it down. why cant we just accept them all and all support one another rather than choose sides

I will never understand why the rest of the Arrowverse shows are not getting this level of quality

Saying that the Flash looks like an early 2000s Power Rangers show is an insult to the PR seasons that came from that era. At least Rangers worked with what they had back then. The Flash has been on for 7 seasons and yet the budget still feels like it needs improvement.

Honestly this show is doing what the flash did during S1 and S2 . Stay Comic Accurate but also put a new twist on things. Also it shows that sometimes it’s okay to take ur time and lesson to fans , also Superman and Lois have accomplished understanding the character because the writers probably read the comics and understood what Superman is supposed to be , Who Clark Kent is . The Flash had sense of this but then lost it once Eric Wallace joined the boat . All we need is someone who cares about the character

I'm probably the *only* person that *does not* want Jonathan to have powers. I want him to still have that conection with Lois, a human between all this chaos and supernatural events. I want his power to be his compassion, his intelligence and his maturity. Jordan and Jonathan in a sense, mirror the relationship between Clark and Lois, where Clark/Jordan struggling to balance their power and responsabilities with their human life and Lois/Jonathan continously proving their value and importance to the story and the heroes. Both relatioships are loving, mature and balanced. I know people thinks Jon deserves powers, but I actually think that would be a disservice to his character and his arc.

Petition for cw’s the flash to get this treatment of writing and cgi.

By far the best CW DC shows of all time,as long as it doesn't become a cash cow,but it is unavoidable.

If this continues for a few years, I could see this show being the greatest “arrowverse” show. Maybe on par or surpassing Arrow

This is such a good show. Really surprised me. Tyler, Bitsie and the rest of the cast are really good. The writing so far on this show has been great and characters aren't one-note, they are being fully fleshed out. While S&L looks great visually it is the writing and the acting that's making it stand out, I watch a lot of shows and I can accept the visuals not being great due to cost etc but when the characters and writing are bad, I'm out. Thankfully, this show so far is keeping me hooked.

I wasn't going to watch Superman & Lois, but I saw a review on episode 11 and went and watched that episode after hearing such great things. It instantly hooked me. I've watched every episode now and I am in agreement with you - this Lois and Clark is the best interpretation we've had in live-action so far. Tyler (especially, because to me he's been the biggest and best surprise with how he's just embodied Clark Kent and Superman so perfectly) and Bitsie are knocking it out of the park. I'm really excited for the rest of the season and season 2. Hopefully the show has a few years in it, and can maintain the high quality.

The perfect superman would have to have: Henry cavill's physique and suit (I think it's the best suit coz the of the attention to detail) Christopher reeve's charm and likeability Tyler hoechlin's dialogue and love for his family and the people of smallville/metropolis

I love this show and I am so happy Superman and Lois is doing everything I ever wanted especially as a huge fan of the superman rebirth series from peter j tomasi and Patrick Gleason this show is doing everything fantastic which I approve. :)

Just like you said, this series in season 1 has not had any filler episode in it. It's all connected and condensed and all moving the plot forward. That's why i really love it. It engage us without ever having to dragged us with unnecessary things. Also the cinematography and story are strong. The best yet in Arrowverse. It really shows us if CW showrunner and writer rrally do care for their series, it will ended up like this series. Heck, i even dsred to say that this series has surpassed and better that The Flash, Arrow, and any other Arrowverse show.

for me this isn't just the best show on the arrowverse, but a heck of a show of its own, period.

Superman and Lois is the best show in the Arrowverse right now.

I love that the show focuses on Supermans personal life instead of some earth destroying threat all the time. Tyler also portrays exactly what I want out of a superman

Superman and Lois made me love Tyler Hoechlin, I hate how they downplayed his strength and status in Supergirl. Superman and Lois elevated him as Superman for me

This show is the perfect show for Superman and the best live action Superman of all time.

The family man Superman from the Rebirth run is definitively my fav version of the character and this show captures that while also adding on a little more.

I'm very glad that superman and Lois is a thing. Superman was underappreciated and mocked in favour of his female counterpart Supergirl in her TV show. Which I hated. But but gotta say I'm a huge fan of superman and Lois tbh. It's absolutely fantastic.

Tyler Hoechlin is the best

Tyler Hoechlin is a good representation of live action Superman, and shows proper direction of how the character should be portrayed in morden times. But despite that the best Superman will always be Christopher Reeves.

tyler and elizabeth are both amazing as clark and lois

I have been enjoying this show SO DAMN MUCH. As you said, it's everything so well that it genuinely amazing. Great video.

Some kids are just ready for life, it's rare but they are out there. They are self-possessed, confident, and smart; they give this old man hope for the future, maybe.

That opening montage on the first episode gave me feeling I have not felt since the first Christopher Reeves movie.

Such a great show! I hope they can carry the momentum into season 2.

its great because in reality it was supervised, written and directed by HBO--it is only shown in CW not directly in HBO because its still part of the arrowverse

Love the Superman and Lois show. I agree with you that this is the best Superman adaptation. It's also the best Lois adaptation.

I agree that this show superman doesnt look like the superman im used to and hes really small but the writting really makes him really feels like the superman i loved from the comic and animated shows

I couldn't agree more. Best show CW has ever done!

I despise how Zack Snyder made Superman dark and gritty. Don't get me wrong, MoS was a good modernization, but now it's led people to believe that this incredible character is overpowered and boring.

Dude I totally agree with you! I did not think this show would be that good but it has really won me over! I do think this is the best live action Superman we’ve ever gotten! And I love Henry Cavill, Smallville was favorite show for many years, grew up with Reeves and think Routh is underrated but this show really is the best Superman we’ve ever gotten and I couldn’t be happier that it is!

The best superman series since Smallville

I love your channel I always can agree and respect your opinion, and I loved the way u talked about Superman and Lois, u inspire me to maybe do a channel like this, thank you (:

The reason why the show is good is because this is HBO Produced including the writing and only released on the CW.

I'm so glad this show was renewed and bringing my favorite characters alive. Just wonderful to see an honest family show about family!

This show was absolutely beautiful and phenomenal. I loved it so much and I was on pins and needles the entire season

Superman and Lois is pretty good for what I’ve watched. But Superman the Animated Series will always have a place in my heart.

This is the first arrowverse show I was interested in, I watched because I heard you say it was great. I watched the whole show in two days. Thanks for giving something to do while I had COVID.

Incredible show. Everything about this show is perfect. Just..amazing👏👏

Y'know what this show has that other arrowverse shows don't? Maturity and Respect. The characters *feel* like their comic book counterparts.

Honestly the moment I saw Elizabeth and Tyler on screen together....I WAS LIKE YES! THAT'S THE ONE.... Superman has always been CW's strongest suit and no matter how shitty the seasons might get they never fail superman which is always so welcoming. Also supergirl never wrote superman as a sidekick. Litterally the first eps of the season 2 people were almost like kneeling to him as he flew into the DEO. In truth super girl was the actual side kick but superman since he is in kara's city wanted to give her the spotlight then take all of it for himself.

This is how you make a realistic Superman without removing his hopeful attitude. And how he embodies hope is very realistic and I love that. I am going to miss this show.

Every character in the show has a motivation that feels natural. Nothing feels contrived or forced to arrive at a plot point. It's entirely organic.

I've never managed to watch a full season of any cw show before (tried flash and supergirl). And I only got interested in this one because I've seen few comments somewhere that "it's suprizingly great" so I turned it on... And the first few minutes of the first episode completely got me hooked on. And I binge watched it in 2 days. And now I can't get over it. I keep watching the overview and so on. What a great show

Dint know people hated the Snyder cut that deeply.

I love how the best cw show wasn't made at the cw (directed and written by the good people at HBO Max)

I rank Hoechlin and Tulloch right up there with Reeve and Kidder. And if you check out comic artist Gary Frank's version of Lois Lane in Action Comics, she's a dead ringer for Elizabeth Tulloch. And this was several years before she got the part

That's probably debatable. Or definitely debatable. Christopher Reeve's and Richard Donner defined Superman. That movie defined pretty much the entire Superhero genre of films and tv and gave the definitive live action version of Superman. Gave Superman a soul. Gave vulnerability to the invulnerable. The Man beneath the Steel. Christopher Reeve's acting in the scene where he finds Lois dead is a prime example of how.

Great review about Superman & Lois Lane! This show is fantastic!

Was waiting for u to drop video abt superman and lois 😂

That’s one thing I loved about this show is the character development. Some shows go way too long without making significant progress with the character

Tyler Hoechlin is the best hands down.

I wasn’t originally excited for Superman and Lois but now I’m happy I love this show

Just saw this and you pretty much matched my thoughts. That "power rangers " vibe of the CW shows statement described the other shows. This show is underrated. I was also on the fence with the casting at 1st but Tyler and the cast nailed the characters and the cw writers finally nailed it. Hoping they can have 5 + plus seasons but with the current dcu situation not sure if that will happen. This show is indeed refreshing.

Great Rundown!

With so much over saturation of "what if superman or someone essentially superman was evil" depictions and stories, it's so refreshing to see a version of Superman exhibiting the best qualities to him. The dorky optimist who doesn't have all the answers but is trying to help everyone. And it's not just filating him saying he's a savior he's a symbol of hope above people. They show why he's viewed as a symbol of hope, and hammer in he doesn't wanna be viewed as above humanity. Despite not being human he is filled with humanity still and what makes him a part of the people.

My favorite live action version as well

This show is a absulate MASTERPIECE.

Season 3 was perfection. An adversary that even Superman can’t beat, in addition to my new favorite Superman scene in any form… the cafe!

Im just cherishing it as long as it's good, one thing I did wrong was being over-judgy for flash S1 and S2 and now looking back at it I should've just enjoyed it while it was good before it went downhill, I'm doing the same here.

Smallville is also a great show it has its flaws but it was the peak of the arrow verse

Episode 4 of S&L when Superman took down Killgrave and flew away to save his kids (even though he might have just injured a bunch of civilians with his thunderclap) is where I was like.. “Okay. This show is awesome.” The visuals for that scene were Snyder-esque and the soundtrack for it was awesome as well. I’m very excited to see more seasons of this show.

Ight 10 hours back, 8 episodes in and I fucking love the show 🙌😂

“Thanks, my mom made it for me.😊”

Best CW show and this season is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Walking w clark kent. Edit: flying actually.

I have an idea for a video. So you rank all the arrowverse villains based on how much damage they have done to the city, and the pain they’ve cost the heros. I think it could be a great video to see how much pain the villain caused the heros.

I used to think superman was borin, but then I found this show which made me realise how great of a character he was

That flash family vs Godspeed was exactly like a Power Rangers fight

16 seconds. Within 16 seconds they sold me on Tyler Hoechlin during the first episode of Superman and Lois. From the moment he gently sets down the car, to when he says: "Thanks! My mom made it for me!". That was when I knew that this series understood Superman fundamentally, and is the clip I show to people to generate interest. From that moment, I knew it was going to be the only CW show I watched on a regular basis. I dropped off of Arrow at season 3, Flash at season 2, never finished Supergirl past season 1 (episode 18 is the furthest I got), stopped Legends of Tomorrow after season 2, and I never started Batwoman OR Black Lightning. The CW from a writing level is more often than not objectively bad (take this from someone who ACTUALLY watches Riverdale), but Superman and Lois? It's in a whole other league. Personally I hope S&L stays mostly disconnected from the Arrowverse because I don't want to see the quality of these characters dip again. EDIT: I'm glad it has an HBO Max budget and the benefit of having shorter seasons. I think 13-15 episodes is a perfect length to tell a complete story rather than the 22 episode standard the CW is set on.

I agree with everything you said here. Christopher Reeve is always gonna be Superman for me, but this show absolutely reflects Clark. Makes me damn proud to be a fan.

Finally! A S&L video that doesn't take potshots at DCEU Superman! I like both Supermen and I don't think either them needs to be brought down even a single peg just to prop up or propel the other forward.

This show is just Fan service... its its tooo good

Tyler hoeclin is on par with henry cavill as the best supermans, try to change my mind Edit: u reviewing the suicide squad???

After your little bit on Kyle, I now would not be surprised if they are setting him up to be a new Cyborg-Superman, with different motivations.

Superman & Lois made me love superman again.

The part where you say the CW shows always looked like low budget TV is pretty spot on. On top of the cinematography the editing and direction is usually bad. This stuff can be overlooked if you got a strong enough narrative. A narrative that consists of likeable characters that you can get behind. Something that Flash has even with the low budget TV and lifeless direction it can have. Supergirl as well people could argue seeing as how the show does seem to have a devoted following despite the production quality

I totally agree

It must be pointed out that the CW doesn't produce this show, it only airs on their platform. The show was actually run by HBO MAX, therefore we can't give too much credit to the CW for the show's quality

Tyler Hoechlin is in no way small, he is likely one of the buffer actors around. But for some reason it just doesn't work on certain costume. Personally I didn't liked how the season was resolved but this is likely the best adaptation of Superman. Also, this is how you write Lois Lane.

Aside from the writing, CGI, story... It's the first time where I've actually cared about every single side character. Hell, I don't even care about the OG Team Flash anymore. Meanwhile Superman & Lois has characters like Kyle and Sam who are becoming some of my favourites. I hope to see this show hit a 5th season at least. Maybe even a 6th.

A lot of the people I've seen hate on this say it doesn't have enough action and at that point I immediately know they're a movie fan and not a comic fan. Superman doesn't fight all the time, he's a character and has complicated relationships and people who only watch the movies don't understand that

We’re technically getting reign of the supermen with Eradicater (even if it’s character inspired by him,) steel, and his son being superboy. All we need is Doomsday and we got the classic 90’s story, only in reverse.

The showrunner for superman and lois is the same as the first 3 seasons of the flash
