That's true - both Arrow and Flash have had entire seasons retconned due to Crisis (in Arrow's case, everything involving Black Siren and Black Canary II was wiped out, and in Flash's case, anything involving any Wells other than Nash and Thawne, and anyone else not native to Earth-1 such as Jesse Quick and Breacher, has been retconned). Makes sense that the same goes for Supergirl too.

Especially considering he’s one of my favorite Lex incarnations. But as much as I love Lex, only Joker is more overexposed. I’d be fine with them not using Cryer, expect they’re using an alternate Lex instead which is just stupid. Use one of the multiple other Superman Rogues we’ve never seen like Ultra-Humanite.

I'm assuming that once Supergirl is off the air, Cryer is free to be used on S&L

What if alternate Lex is tv's Alexander Luthor jr (so not lex's direct counterpart) and at the end of the season when his plan is foiled, we get that infinite crisis ending where Cryer's Lex catches up to him in a dark alley and guns him down.
I find this article ironic.. I'm sorry for the fans, but after how badly disrespected Superman was in the Supergirl show, I don't care if they erase lots of stuff I didn't like.

If you think about it, everyone who remembers COIE doesn't actually know their own history. Because they remember the previous one. We already saw this with Flash and the Pied Piper. One of his encounters with the Pied Piper ended differently than he remembers it because he doesn't know his own new history now. Supergirl could have an entirely different history where half her adventures never happened and she'd never know it. Just look at how popular Luthor is.

Yeah. Barry Allen will have met Jay Garrick a different way, since most of Flash season 2 couldn't have happened how we saw it (due to lack of access to Earths 2 and 3). Arrow seasons 6 and 7 are drastically affected too because of the Canaries getting retconned by the Crisis. There was almost certainly similar effects for Kara.

IMO the basic problem Supergirl the show had the Superman the character was that annoying thing the borrowed from the SG reboot comics; the notion that for Supergirl to be worth anything, she had to be more powerful, better...whatever than Superman, rather than simply showing her own struggles and her own heroism. And of course stealing Superman's rogues gallery for her.
All that stuff was going to make Superman appear worse in comparison; indeed, that's what it was designed to do. Well, not front and center, but implicit in making SG the best Super on her world was that he wasn't. It was shortsighted; CW should well have known that a Superman centered show was bound to be up and coming. SG would have been better served IMO by developing SG in isolation, taking nothing from Superman, apart from his distant presence.
