I said before Blue beetle and Green lantern might be shows instead of movies and it looks like i might be right.
So the only Superman show rumored is a CW spin off?
Hard pass. Wake me up when HBO decides to do a Golden Age series set in the 40's.

I'm desperate for new Superman content, especially in live action, but I won't watch that watered down CW Superman show if true. I hate that version with a passion.
I would watch a Routh Superman show on HBO max, however, and hoping it was well written like the character deserves.
Exactly. Have less than zero interest in a CW-helmed Superman show. Especially if they want to utilize the Arrowverse version. A Superman who's confirmed second fiddle to his cousin, and probably with a kid who will inevitably overshadow him in his own right like the comics are getting ready to do? Hell freaking no.
Beggars can be choosers in this instance. Been two decades since a Superman show, but if that's what the offer is, I'd rather not have it at all.

I know a lot of people haven't lived the Supergirl fight down, but if he were to get his own show I imagine the impetus would be to once again present Superman as the greatest hero since he would not be their as a supporting player to Supergirl.
At least that's my take on it.
Glad they’re moving in this direction. They no longer need to totally rely on movies to create good live action superhero content. Instead of waiting in vain for WB to make movies about their great mid tier characters, we could hopefully get some great shows instead. It would be a dream come true to get a Blue Beetle show.
If they did a Superman show with Routh as a Kingdom Come-like Superman I’d be so down.
Which shows caught your attention besides Superman?
For me it’s Blue Beetle. I think his setting has major potential, and not just for “diversity” but the unique story of a superhero operating in El Paso. Not to mention the dynamic between Jaime, Paco, Brenda, and the Scarab (they should get a talented character actor to portray him as a comedic sociopath). Hope they get Traci 13 in there too, she would be a cool character to have in the mix.
They haven't decided about TITANS? That show is the best thing they've done in ages! A Hawk and Dove spin off would be rad.
I'd like to see a Ian Glen led BATMAN show too, honestly.
If there's a Superman show I want it to be a high quality HBO joint, or something spun off of the DCU Titans world. A CW helmed joint with the dude from Teen Wolf is a hard, hard pass.
