'Superman & Lois' in development at the CW

[Jackalope89]

lol I thought the same... hopefully they are not taller than Tyler is.. :/

If this show is all about the kids, it should be called Super Sons not Superman and Lois..

Actually, it sounds like its going to focus on the family as a whole. Clark and Lois balancing being reporters and parents to 2 coming of age boys that will start showing their powers before long, stopping bad guys, dealing with a Luthor whom the public sees as a good guy, and becoming more integrated with the other heroes of Earth Prime.

Hopefully Superman himself gets the attention he so needs in this version. He needs more development as a superhero too not just as a father or husband. I like the reporting thing, but to me he's a superhero first. I know the CW doesn't have the budget, but I want to see how the people feel about him.

I imagine we'll get plenty of Superheroics.

I'm not excited about this show, but I'm a bit curious to see if it's any good. Hopefully the super kids don't become the center of the show.

I have a question, what is the relationship called of Supergirl to whatever they name the kid on the show...aunt, second cousin twice removed..?

Aunt.

Kara is practically Clark's sister.

Aunt.

Kara is practically Clark's sister.

But...she isn't really, is she? She's Clark's cousin from the Old World, not his sister, so she couldn't be his aunt. So what is she to him?

I mean, if we want to get into the nitty gritty in terms of family hierarchy, I'd guess she'd be a cousin...?

Kara and Jon are technically first cousins once removed I believe.

Kara and Jon are technically first cousins once removed I believe.

Yeah, that's correct, but many cultures like to simplify that to aunt or uncle.

Definitely. Growing up in a big Italian family aunt, uncle, and cousin have some very loose definitions.

[Frontier]

Jon and Jordan are probably going to refer to her as their aunt. Jon already does it in the comics.

[Superlad93]

When has Jon done that in the comics? Last I saw during the Unity Saga Jon called Kara his cousin.

Yeah I believe he also called her “cousin” in his cameo in Orlando’s Supergirl.

Didn't he used to when he was a kid? I believe clark had asked jon to stay with aunt kara. Couple of times when he was a kid.
