Do you think Livewire and Heatwave will get an invite?

Do you think Livewire and Heatwave will get an invite?

Ever since they helped Lois and Jimmy steal the spaceship so they could find Clark, and helped them save the world from Brainiac, it definitely seems like Leslie and Rory are now friends to the main characters, despite being side characters themselves now.

With that in mind, and Lois proposing to Clark, do you think they’d get an invite to the wedding? Maybe even becoming bridesmaids too?

Edit: Kara Zor-El is definitely going to be the Maid of Honor.

Season 4 Rogues Gallery Proposal

This original image was the first preview of the Season 3 rogues we got when Season 3 was first announced. A lot of the spots would now essentially be vacant, so here's who I'd use to fill them in.

First of all, Lex Luthor and Intergang would be the only Rogues continuing to be at play past Season 3.

Slade Wilson/Deathstroke will have quit working for the government and LexCorp; he would now go freelance, and he might appear in other shows but not this one anymore.

Amanda Waller is now more of a neutral, morally-questionable third party, becoming more like her DCAU counterpart.

Bizarro and his pet dog are now firm good guys.

Mr. Mxyzptlk has a pattern where he only appears in odd-numbered seasons, so he'll be saved for Season 5.

Cyborg Superman is in a bit of a fuzzy status; I assume he's just been shut down, then grabbed by Waller and secured somewhere safe, probably the same facility Lex got locked up in. But given some of his comic history as a Yellow Lantern, I think I'd continue Hank Henshaw's story in My Adventures With Green Lantern, as the newest member of the Sinestro Corps.

And the Eradicator has been eradicated.

So, here are my proposals for the empty slots:

The House of Zod, consisting of a trio of Kryptonians who escaped their sentence in the Phantom Zone; General Zod and his family, Ursa Lor-Van and Lor-Zod. They would be an opportunity to explore more of Krypton's past, and find a resolution to Krypton's story, which I think can get some more mileage.

Lobo, assassin, brigand, sociopath, monster, the scourge of the cosmos, and the most ruthless bounty hunter in the galaxy. The Main Man has been hired to bring Kara Zor-El in for what Brainiac made her do, dead or alive.

The Engineer, Lex Luthor's assistant manager of LexCorp and a test subject for experimental nanite technology. She would fill the void left in LexCorp (and in Lex's heart) by Slade, helping him out of jail and keeping his company intact.

Bruno Mannheim, the real boss of Intergang, runs the illicit tech trading ring of Metropolis. He provides basically all of Metropolis's supervillains with gadgets and goons, in exchange for cuts from their various heists and robberies.

And finally, to give Darkseid and the Legions of Apokolips some representation, the Female Furies; Lashina, Mad Harriet, Stompa and Bernadeth. Darkseid has seen Krypton emerge once again, and sends his Furies to Earth to stamp them out.

How is this guy gonna handle it? (Season 4 Speculation)

Now that Lois has popped the question, I’m betting that if Season 4 gets greenlit, a major plot thread will be the Engagement.

It’s a given that Jonathan and Martha Kent will be nothing short of ecstatic. They love their son, and they absolutely adore Lois. The Kents unfortunately had a very limited presence in Season 3, so this would be an opportunity to fix that.

But how will General Sam Lane handle it, given his history with Clark and Superman?

I’m hoping that in light of the wedding, maybe Season 4 will be a bit more low-stakes, with some more slice of life; maybe a few space adventures here and there, maybe some light Apokolips buildup.

With that in mind, in addition to giving the Kents a greater spotlight, we can also see the resolution of General Lane’s arc. Now that he’s got a desk job at the Pentagon, he now has more time on his hands to hopefully make things right with Lois.

We all know that Sam doesn’t yet know Superman’s true identity, and that he was none too enthusiastic about Clark Kent. Classic grumpy dad not liking his daughter‘s boyfriend type stuff. And as of now, I’m sure Sam has done a full 180 on Superman; he no longer views him as an alien threat, but sees him as the hero he is.

Would certainly make for a funny dynamic there; General Lane has the utmost respect for Superman, but he doesn’t like Lois’s bumbling misfit of a boyfriend, Clark Kent.

My prediction is that upon finding out Clark and Lois got engaged, he’s going to be pretty darn annoying about it. He doesn’t like Clark for being absent when Lois put herself in dangerous situations with Superman, but would finding out Clark and Superman are one in the same fix that or make it worse?

Eventually, things would come to a head where Lois is firm in her intent to marry the man she loves, and she lays down the law for her dad. She would beg Sam not to make her choose between him and Clark, because if he did, she would choose Clark. Lois is going to marry him no matter what, and Sam can decide whether he wants to be part of it too or not.

Sam was definitely not the best father for Lois growing up, but in his own way his love for her is obvious; it was his whole motivation for diving deep into commanding Task Force X. And what father wouldn’t want the chance to walk his little girl down the aisle on the happiest day of her life? Despite his reservations about Clark/Superman, I’m sure Sam would still want to be there for Lois.

Perhaps in the end, in the season 4 finale, Sam Lane finally fully comes around. He gives Lois his blessing, and she lets him walk her down the aisle, and the whole thing is so emotionally beautiful. I would really hope that at least half the season 4 finale, if not the entire episode, is dedicated to the wedding ceremony, with the credits showing the reception.

But that’s just me; this is what I’d like to see because optimism and hope is the whole point of Superman’s story. And Lois’s stubborn, military-minded father finally softening embodied that perfectly. My main source of inspiration is General Lane from the Superman & Lois series, who has to be my favorite incarnation of the character; still brusque and hard, but very much a part of the family. Obviously none of this will try to undo or erase Sam’s mistakes as an absentee father.

But what do you think of General Lane’s story continuing in the wedding arc for future seasons?

The Price

So Clark was able to get his powers back by the end of this season. This was made possible through the power source of the Fortress of Solitude, which Brainiac described as a child of Rao the living sun.

When Lois asked Clark what did it cost, he answered with “nothing I wasn’t willing to pay.” To me, this strongly implies that his future with Lois Lane is still intact, and he’s going to have a full life with her. I don’t want this to mean that this series is going to go All-Star Superman, where Clark essentially dies an early death by becoming star stuff.

So I’m pretty sure right now it just means that the price of getting his powers back was the intense pain of exposing his vulnerable body to the heat of a star. But there’s a chance it could mean something more, which leads me to my theory.

When Brainiac was describing Rao as a living sun and a god, he mentioned that while Rao died (at the hands of Krypton’s invaders who sent that device into the star), he still had surviving children, including the one in the Fortress. So maybe there are other living stars out there.

My theory is that in exchange for getting his powers back, Clark would promise to keep all of Rao’s children safe. These pocket suns are an immense source of clean energy, since one of them is powering the Fortress of Solitude. They would be highly valued commodities in the galactic community, and if they fell into the wrong hands, their potential for destruction is immense.

Clark and the Children of Rao could provide that solar power to those in the galaxy who desperately need it, while keeping that same power out of the hands of people like Darkseid and Mongul. Finding all of these living stars, keeping them safe, using them for good causes, would be a great opportunity for the audience to see more of the galaxy.

But that really better be the extent of it if they decide to pull on this thread more. I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say that Clark still deserves that happy ending with Lois and his family.

Slade Wilson - Comparison

One clip from the Season Finale looked very familiar, so I went back and watched some Teen Titans until I found the right angle.

Here is the same character, in two different universes.

Kryptonian Praetorian Guard (Fan-Edit)

In honor of Superman's one-time, very regal battle suit, I came up with a concept for Kryptonian uniforms using the standard Imperial Soldier's uniform as a base.

Krypton ruled over an Empire at the height of its power. And since they have ruling families with heraldic standards, they must have also had an Royal Dynasty ruled by an Emperor.

To guard the Emperor and his heirs and kin, a celebrated order of Praetorian Guards was formed for this task.

u/NPlaysMC — 3 days ago

We had his final form the whole time!

Back when Season 3 was first announced, we got a black and white preview of the Rogues, and we saw this big guy next to Lex Luthor.

At first we thought it was a dark Jor-El, General Zod, or even a form for the Eradicator. Then when Season 3 came out, we got the full rogues gallery and this guy changed forms, so people began speculating on him being H’El, Lobo, or Kalibak.

Turns out the people who guessed Eradicator had it right. There are a few differences, like the cape and the precise lines of his suit, but notice how the first guy’s hair and beard looks a lot like Eradicator’s final form.

Nemesis Omega is Dead and Overrated (Zero Day Rant)

Spoiler-tagged because this has information from Season 3

Yeah, I said that, and I don't expect this opinion to be too popular. Ever since we've first seen Nemesis Omega, we've been wondering who he really was. But I'm not sure it matters any more because of what we've seen of Krypton in flashbacks and simulations, and what we've learned from Jor-El and Brainiac.

First of all, Nemesis Omega is more than likely dead. You'll see in the frame-by-frame gif on Slide 4 that a very bright light appears behind him, and he tries to shield himself from it as it grows brighter and brighter, before that bright light consumes the fleet under his command and the portal collapses. Immediately after (not shown in the gif), the android forces already on Earth grind to a halt. That bright flash had to be Krypton's destruction, which we learn at the end of Season 2 was triggered by Brainiac. And if Nemesis Omega was caught in that shockwave, there wouldn't even be a body because it would get vaporized.

Now people have said that the blast of Krypton's destruction could've reacted with the portal in such a way that Nemesis Omega ended up in the Phantom Zone. Which segues to my second point: Nemesis Omega is overrated. Why might that be? Because at the end of Season 1, we are shown a mysterious Kryptonian Warrior, whose armor looks a little different, not just because it's bulkier with much larger shoulder spikes, but because it has a distinct sigil: the Crest of the House of El. Nemesis Omega had no such crest on his armor; just a red diamond. Had he been anyone of greater significance, like Kara, then he too would've had an identifiable crest.

Let us not forget that "Nemesis Omega" is only the codename given to this soldier by Task Force X; his mother certainly didn't give him that name. But since we don't know what his real name was, and we probably never will, Nemesis Omega will have to stick. But I think this title makes us lose perspective on how insignificant he really was. At the start of Season 2, when Jor-El is finally able to explain Krypton's fate to Clark, we see three other soldiers, each wearing that exact same set of armor, getting vaporized in an instant.

Later on when Primus Brainiac has Clark trapped in the Black Mercy, his gaolers are simulations of Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, and four more soldiers wearing that exact same armor. And look how easily they're swept aside once Clark and Lois outsmart the Black Mercy and escape. This repeated occurrence of that exact same armor decreases Nemesis Omega's significance.

If that's the case, you might wonder then, why would a mere infantryman be in command of an army? Well it's because that army consisted entirely of drones, and is more than likely a small percentage of Krypton's total military might. Krypton was an expansionist Empire; they conquered worlds and forced their people into servitude, and they regarded their robots more as weapons than soldiers. But while a Kryptonian could singlehandedly bring Earth's armies down, an automated army operating on a tightly controlled Brainiac network is a useful tool in power projection; even a single Kryptonian can only be in one place at one time.

But then if those drones at Zero Day were on Brainiac's network, how did he not know about Earth until the end of Season 1? Well as of the latest episode of Season 3, Vae Victis, we learned that Brainiac was a Coluan this whole time. The Kryptonian Empire got its start from a Coluan starship crashing on their planet; the native barbarians enslaved the refugees and their guards, and studied their technology, using it to cultivate their superpowers, turn Rao from red to yellow, and explore the stars, conquering every world they reached. Even worse, they experimented on the Coluans, digitizing their minds to create Brainiac.

Back in Season 2, Brainiac explained to Clark how he once ran through "every computer, ship, city and defense system in the Empire." And then since the Empire was expansionist, growing outward until it was stopped, that provided plenty of opportunities for separate iterations of the Brainiac network to emerge; copies of the central AI. This was confirmed when the Brainiac of the Fortress of Solitude stated how "we are not the mad, twisted creature you met on Kandor."

That "mad, twisted creature," Primus Brainiac, was the one responsible for Krypton's destruction. Just like how the Fortress's Brainiac crashed out over Superman deciding to be merciful to the simulated Coluans, Primus Brainiac crashed out over how the Kryptonians wanted peace. This all comes from the unjust treatment they experienced at the hands of Krypton. While each Brainiac shares the exact same memories, the fact that two individual Brainiac systems can exist means that more could have existed.

Which ties us back to Zero Day. We don't know the context of why some Kryptonians would choose to commit military assets to invading a backwater world through a portal when Krypton itself was under siege, but they evidently made use of a Brainiac network to coordinate the fleet of ships and army of robots sent through the portal to Earth, since each of those robots had the Brainiac symbol. And since Primus didn't seem to know about Zero Day, then it was a different Brainiac network.

Like many of us, I'm hoping that we will get a more thorough exposition on Zero Day, which could perhaps tie into an origin story for General Zod. I have at least a couple of theories as to why people on Krypton would invade Earth even as they were being invaded themselves, but regardless of the truth, I'm near-completely sure that Nemesis Omega's role in it was just as an unnamed foot soldier, taking orders from someone of higher station, whether they were the orders of General Zod going rogue/enacting a coup, or of the Kryptonian Emperor himself. Regardless of Nemesis Omega's station in the Imperial hierarchy, I'm also sure that he's dead, judging by his proximity to the blast of Krypton's destruction.

If it turns out the producers of this show do get the chance to elaborate more on Zero Day in future seasons, and they decide to confirm Nemesis Omega's continued potential existence, I'm sure they will provide a thorough explanation as to how he survived and, more importantly, why he would deign to wear the armor of a common Imperial infantryman. I am sure that if General Zod had personally led Zero Day, he would've been wearing armor similar to (if not exactly the same as) Kara's armor that she wore as Primus Brainiac's weapon, unless there was a compelling narrative reason not to.

So, until we get official confirmation on Nemesis Omega and Zero Day, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

My DCU Batman: The Brave and the Bold Fancast

Like in Superman, I‘m thinking this movie would start with Batman already having some experience and having his Bat Family.

The main villains would be Ra’s al Ghul and his daughter Talia, the mother of his son Damian. A handful of other villains would appear to serve as secondary antagonists on Ra’s‘ payroll.

I picked Tom Brittney for Bruce mostly just as a placeholder, but any actor in the same age range who looks similar to David Corenswet would do.

Instead of wondering which Robin I would include, I decided to give Batman a flock of Robins; Tim Drake, Carrie Kelley and Damian Wayne. Nightwing was the first Robin.

And I thought I’d add the Gotham City Sirens as more neutral, self-serving anti-villains; committing crimes and out for themselves, but still willing to help the Bat Family if it suited them. And I would keep Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, to call back to The Suicide Squad.

Superman - Champion of the Oppressed (Show Pitch)

This is an idea I've been thinking about, inspired in part by Batman: Caped Crusader and Superman Smashes the Klan, revisiting Superman's old adventures and battles during the Second World War. This would be a retro-future themed alternate timeline, set in the early to mid 1940s.

(Forgive the repost; something was wrong with the images, but it's been fixed now.)

Backstory

On a warm summer's night in Smallville Kansas, 1910, an alien spacecraft crash landed in the Kent Homestead. Jonathan and Martha Kent found the craft and its lone passenger; a small infant child, who they named Clark Kent, and raised as their own.

Twenty seven years later, Clark has become a journalist in the most turbulent and politically-charged period of contemporary history, working for the Daily Planet in the great city of Metropolis. But when he's not working, or visiting his parents, or going out with Lois Lane, he is answering his real calling; to serve the world as its greatest hero, Superman.

While the United States maintains its isolationism, Superman answers the Allies' call to aid in their war against the Axis Powers; Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan. But while Superman can stand alone against any army and come out on top, the Axis Powers are not without their own super-powered minions to stand in his way.

Villains and Anti-Heroes

When Superman first announced himself to the world in 1937 and began performing heroic deeds all over the globe, Adolf Hitler began to feel the heat. So on the recommendation of the head of the German SS, Heinrich Himmler, the Führer turned to the treacherous American scientist Gerard Shugel, known among the criminal circles as the Ultra-Humanite for his brilliant mind.

With a wellspring of Nazi party money, and an unfortunately large supply of Human test subjects selected from Nazi concentration camps, the Ultra-Humanite experimented with exotic substances and energies to develop the means to defeat Superman. He also developed sinister machines of war with his knowledge of advanced robotics, which saw action on virtually every front of the war.

One of his earliest successes was Baron Albrect Krieger, a veteran of the Great War who volunteered for the Ultra-Humanite's experiments. Touted as the pinnacle of Aryan perfection, Baron Krieger could boast flight, speed and strength comparable to Superman. Called "Captain Nazi" by his enemies, the Baron safeguarded Nazi expansion in Europe, preventing Superman from stopping them.

Meanwhile in Russia, Joseph Stalin also planned for the possibility of Superman standing in his way. So he tapped Professor Chang, a brilliant yet unhinged scientist loyal to the Chinese Communist Party, widely considered to be the leading authority on particle physics in the Eastern Hemisphere. With volunteer soldiers from the Soviet Communist Party as test subjects, Chang experimented with exotic energies, attempting to use them to grant superpowers.

Among the test subjects exposed to strange physics, only one survived; a young revolutionary named Leonid Kovar, who could absorb and project energy, and use that energy to attain super strength and the ability to fly. So Stalin revealed him to the world as the first Communist Superhero, the Red Star. When Russia and Germany signed the non-aggression pact of 1939, Kovar found himself partnered with Baron Krieger in battles against Superman, during which he proved especially dangerous with his ability to project red-frequency light, which disabled Superman's powers.

Superman would have fallen to these foes, if not for the intervention of Manchester Black, an allied agent of MI6 with powerful psychic abilities. While Black appreciated Superman's aid, he appealed to him that the war could not be won without American support, and was none too appreciative of his hesitance to engage in lethal violence against the enemy.

Meanwhile across the breadth of Eurasia, as tensions rose between Soviet Russia and Imperial Japan, the Red Star occasionally clashed with Emperor Hirohito's answer to super-powered individuals; a Japanese sorcerer named Ryosuke Takeda, who was also known as The Hat, for the magic hat he uses to conjure demons and cast spells.

Allies and Friends

But then in December of 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in a surprise bombing, waking the sleeping giant that was the United States. Congress was quick to declare war on the Axis Powers, and to answer their champions, decided they needed more champions of their own. The US military's Advanced Research Group started Project Cadmus, which debuted a trio of patriotic heroes with their own powers.

Captain Jack Weston, formerly of the Marine Corps, became the Minute-Man, a soldier trained above and beyond what most men can endure on their own. Roxanne Sutton, a pioneering ballistic physicist and Hollywood Starlet, fielded prototype jet-engine craft and gadgets as Roxy Rocket. And Alan Armstrong of US Intelligence protected the Allies' battle plans as the Spy-Smasher. Cadmus also yielded two additional, less-publicized heroes; Nathan Craig Jones, who can manipulate electricity and electromagnetic fields as Coldcast, and Pamela, known as The Menagerie for the host of alien monstrosities implanted in her by ARGUS researchers.

And following the Nazi's betrayal of Russia in Operation Barbarossa, the Soviet Union also joined the Allies, and the Red Star went from being Superman's enemy to his friend. Now that America had joined the war in earnest, the Daily Planet's Editor-In-Chief Perry White assigned Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen to be the paper's War Correspondents, to cover the war as it unfolded in the European Theater. This would give Superman convenient cover to be close at hand to fight the war. There in the European Theater, Clark and friends bore witness to the true scope of Hitler's evil as the concentration camps were liberated.

A Better Tomorrow(?)

From 1941 onward, the Allies would turn the tide against the Axis Powers, and Superman and his friends defeated their villainous champions and mechanical abominations at every turn. But when Italy and Germany became the first to fall, Japan continued its defiance, fighting America and her allies all over the Pacific Ocean. US military command knew that a prolonged invasion of Japan would result in the loss of millions, so they turned to the Manhattan Project, which promised a bomb unlike any ever built before; a bomb that could pack tons of TNT into a single blast.

The Project was kept so incredibly top secret, not even Superman had an inkling of its existence, until he heard a blast from New Mexico. When he dug deeper, he read that a munitions dump accidentally detonated, and there were no fatalities. Still he was disquieted, and tried to dig deeper but kept running into red tape. And then not even a month later, the Atom Bomb was unleashed on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

Always wanting to help, Superman rushed to the scene, trying to do what he could for the wounded and suffering civilians, before being chased away by the Hat. Superman confronted the President after the bombing, asking him how could he hurt civilians this way. Truman was unmoved of course; he knew it was unpleasant, but it was the speediest way to end the war.

Superman begged for the chance to get Japan to surrender before another bomb was dropped, and the President gave him three days to do so. But three days might as well have been three centuries, for no amount of reasoned discussion could persuade the Hat to let him have an audience with the Emperor. He attempted to stop the second plane from bombing Nagasaki, but the Hat interfered once again, and the city was destroyed.

Finally, Japan surrendered, and the war came to an end. Though Superman would forever rue the lives it cost. But he knew he couldn't rest, for America's alliances were beginning to fracture, as the US and the Soviet Union were now the leading powers of the world. When the Soviets began developing atomic weaponry, Red Star was just as horrified as Superman was; he renounced his ties to the Soviet government and declared himself a hero for the Russian people and the world. But Kovar was denounced as a traitor by Stalin when he warned Superman of their plans.

Left forgotten by the Americans, Manchester Black formed a close circle with Coldcast, Menagerie and the Hat. Together they became The Elite, an international group promising to counter the threats of super-powered people, now known as Meta-Humans. Professor Chang continued his service to the CCP, aiding in their plans to spread Communism all over the globe. The Ultra-Humanite meanwhile escaped the Allies' clutches, with plans to bring the world under his rule.

While the Nazi Regime fell, Baron Krieger managed to elude Allied Justice, and fomented his own plans to start a Fourth Reich, no matter how long it might take. And while Minuteman and Spy-Smasher continued their service in the military, Roxy Rocket found herself broke after her stunts became too dangerous for Hollywood, so she turned to a life of crime to make ends meet and seek the thrills she was missing.

As the years went on, new threats would emerge from the depths of space, such as the condemned General of Krypton's military known as Zod, the crazed cybernetic alien Brainiac, and the fifth dimensional imp known as Mr. Mxyzptlk. Yet the one who would prove to be Superman's greatest arch nemesis got his start in the American military-industrial complex; a scientist and wealthy businessman known as Lex Luthor...

Conclusion

This would be a retro-themed series about Superman making a stand against injustice and inequality, fighting Nazis, liberating their victims from the atrocious death camps, and standing for a Better Tomorrow. This is really just an outline for how such a series could go, and it's not too serious a pitch; just some wishful thinking.

For this idea, I took inspiration from Superman Smashes the Klan, Superman Vs. The Elite, Teen Titans, Shazam, Batman: The Animated Series, and the Fawcett comics. The aesthetic would take inspiration from Bruce Timm's work on the animated shows about Batman and Superman.

But what do you think? I know between My Adventures With Superman and James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow, we're pretty flush on Superman content, but I think Dave Fleischer's Superman deserves a new yet retro-themed reincarnation too, especially since Batman is getting that with Caped Crusader.

And for the most part, I did my best to avoid bringing in other major heroes, but which characters would you also like to see in such a show, or which do you think would be good fits?

So, Amanda Waller...

...props to you for giving Superman credit for saving the world from Brainiac.

And shutting down LexCorp on top of that too? She's really come a long way since the Metropolis Invasion. Last we saw, she was on the run, and now she's a ranking official from the Pentagon? Wonder how she turned that around?

Hope she can provide our heroes with that time travel device so they can go after Eradicator. And hopefully going forward, Waller can start being less a villain more a neutral, morally-grey mastermind, like in the DCAU.

One Rogue Left

Everyone else in the Season 3 Rogues Gallery has been featured; Intergang, the alternate universe competitors, Cyborg Superman, Lex Luthor, Amanda Waller, Slade Wilson, Bizarro and his dog, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and Eradicator.

The only one left now is the mysterious figure floating in front of Lex, who has to be associated, in part at least, with the visions Clark has been experiencing that compelled him to return to the Fortress of Solitude, with Bizarro's help.

But now it seems Bizarro is being mind controlled by the Stewards, and one of them seemed to take Brainiac's head in the newest preview for the next episode. Does that mean Brainiac has filtered into the Fortress's computers and taken over? Or are the Stewards acting alone?

And on top of getting his powers back and saving Bizarro, will Clark find this last rogue in the Fortress of Solitude, perhaps even in the Phantom Zone? Do you think he will be a fully-fledged villain, or more of an anti-hero?

I think possible candidates for who this last one could be General Zod, or H'El. Whoever they are, their outfit suggests ties to Krypton. But who do you think they could be?

u/NPlaysMC — 18 days ago

Lois and (hopefully) Waller have had enough of Lex

I very much doubt something like this will actually happen, but Lois has socked Lex across the jaw twice now, and Waller isn’t looking too happy about Project: Eradicator.

Scenes like this have been in the back of my mind ever since the first preview for the next episode.

u/NPlaysMC — 19 days ago

Imagine these two if they met:

I think it would be fun if Clark Kent from this series met Clark Kent from Superman Smashes the Klan, the comic written by Gene Luen Yang in 2019.

It probably won't happen at any point in this series, but after seeing the evil versions of Superman from alternate universes, I think it would be a fair balance to see the good ones too, at least once.

Perhaps in Season 4 or 5 these two Supermen join others from different dimensions on a brief mission to stop Mr. Mxyzptlk or even the Anti-Monitor from threatening a whole bunch of universes.

What could this mean?

This is one of the images previewed upon the release of Season 3, and as far as I know, it hasn't come up in any episode yet.

We've got Clark here in some interesting surroundings, which I think is part of the Fortress of Solitude. My guess is that this is a part of the process he goes through in order to get his powers back.

But what do you think?

The Engineer - by KevinTrentin

Based on The Engineer from James Gunn's Superman movie.

I would make her this show's Mercy Graves, Lex Luthor's faithful bodyguard. In this universe, her full name would be Mercedes-Camila Graves, a physicist and a structural engineer who runs the LexCorp Research and Development department.

Mercy willingly volunteered for an experiment in which she was infused with nano-machines developed from Kryptonian technology. The nanites, which she herself had designed, allow her to reshape her body into any form she can think of, granting her a variety of powers including super strength, flight, and the ability to conjure machines and weapons at will.

The design inspiration comes from the LexCorp manufactured drones first shown in Season 3, except her armor plating is black. Mercy is even able to change her form at will to avoid unwanted attention, so she can look ordinary if she wants to, but can very quickly ready herself to fight if need be.

Drawn by KevinTrentin as a commission.
