I will agree with the no more Kryptonian powers for villains crowd. It was eh in season 1, and I’m only accepting it in season 2 because it’s BIZARRO. Next round we don’t need to see a third variation of evil Superman (Sorry John Henry’s earth, you’re left to burn) With all of the technological marvels in the Superman mythology perhaps we could see more villains who use long ranged weapons, perhaps gunslingers like Bloodsport or Terra Man can have a bounty on Superman.
After the whole cheating debacle in this season, wouldn’t it be funny if they found a way to adapt that story where someone catches Lois kissing Superman, and thus having people think that she’s cheating on Clark with the most powerful man on the planet?

What if they gave us a villain who isn't focused on Superman? Someone who exploits holes in Superman's powers rather than gets tech that neutralizes those powers. Superman can only be in a single place, so threats in numerous locations simultaneously might be a challenge. Or someone capable of teleportation, or phasing, or messing with your perception.
I agree! Superman has served as a punching bag for every villains he has faced. Superman has been saved by the teenage super team, Henry, his brother and by Bizarro! I love superman and like seeing him back on tv. But they have made him look really bad as a superhero!! Everybody kicks his ass!

many fans have seen the punching bag superman so many times that they have gotten used to it, that's why when he does something they get excited, but the reality is that there is not a single series or movie in which superman seems capable, trustworthy, yes I or anyone with superman powers we could easily do better.
So we've got a week off AGAIN thanks to network shenanigans (seriously, sell The CW as soon as possible and move SAL to HBOmax next season), what do you think of Season 2 compared to Season 1 so far?
For me, Bizarro is better than any antagonist we got in Season 1. But we've gotten way less Lois / Clark interactions. The boys have totally flip-flopped their roles. The Langs have gotten worse. John Henry and Natasha had much more screen time this season (before getting sidelined these past two episodes). Tal is much better in Season 2 than Season 1, despite a massive reduction in screentime. We'll see if Ally is more memorable than Tal's daddy.
Overall, I'd say so far Season 2 has been slightly better than Season 1 to this point.
