Obscure Connections You've Made

Anyone in any Superman media production can likely win a “6 degrees of separation” game to in like 2 moves, because they keep getting cast again in some other role later on in the franchise.

For instance… anyone in Superman and Lois is one degree removed from any one in Supergirl, which puts them one degree from anyone in Smallville and Lois and Clark… which puts them one degree removed from both Man of Steel (and thus the entire DCEU) and Superman The Movie… and being in that last film puts them one degree removed from both the 1948 Superman movie serial and the George Reeve 1950’s TV series.

What I like most is actresses playing each other's mothers. Phyllis Coates, Lois Lane on Adventures of Superman, was Ella Lane to Teri Hatcher's Lois on Lois and Clark. Teri Hatcher played Ella Lane on Smallville to Erica Durance's Lois Lane. Erica Durance played Kara's mother on Supergirl.

And then there's Jonathan Kent watching Dukes of Hazard on Superman the Animated Series a couple years before John Schneider would play Jonathan Kent on Smallville.
