3) Superman Lives
For years now, fans have been under the impression that, due to the disconnect between DC’s movie universe and its TV output, the small screen division could only play with the cast-offs that the film people didn’t want (with the exception of the Flash). That turned out to be a complete myth, however, when Superman himself was revealed to feature in Supergirl season 2. He’s played by Teen Wolf alumn Tyler Hoechlin and has been confirmed to appear in at least the first two episodes.
To start with, after many laughable explanations for why he wasn’t around in season 1, introducing Kara’s cousin will really give Supergirl the lift it needs to up its ante. While it was a good decision to let the Girl of Steel establish herself as her own hero over the first season, Superman’s appearance is now entirely welcome.
What’s more, Superman’s addition to Supergirl opens up a load of possibilities for the future. Will he turn up in the four-way crossover and meet Green Arrow and the Flash? Will other big name heroes like, say, Green Lantern appear next? Time will tell.
