Lex Luther is Superman’s Nemesis. His power is his brain, he’s incredibly intelligent and invents stuff that are designed to kill Superman. He’s very Anti-Alien.
@@nahreethephantom2825 What do you expect when he’s fighting a dozen people with Kryptonite weapons? Lmao you say it as if it’s actually something new? Steel has multiple moments where he assists and saves Supes in multiple mediums including this show. Then again this shows you have no idea how supporting characters work in tv shows or superheroes in general. Just because Supes is overpowered doesn’t mean he can’t have help from others. Also try to actually not spoiler anymore for Don.
This is the best CW show about superheroes by far. And for anyone reading this. Despite this series came as a spinoff from the other Arrowverse shows, it doesn't share the same continuity as it take place in another universe where Superman is the only superhero and while this universe did have a Green Arrow. The Flash, Black Lightning and the others don't exist here.
Well kinda, it took place on the same earth as the other shows originally but when CW was sold the showrunners were told to seperate S&L from the rest of the Arrowverse by the new execs. So season 1 in a way is still part of the Arrowverse
Wait he doesn't know Lex Luthor? The 2nd most famous DC villain? Then this show is basically the perfect introduction, as hey have one of the best versions of the character to date
the kids dont have powers because they are DNA experiments based on kryptonian Kal-El (clark kent) and earth human Lois Lane (you dont get this bit since its explained on some episode of supergirl) in fact Lois needed to spend some time on Kandor before it was destroyed, it was a small secondary city of Krypton that before the explosion was made miniature and send out to space. lois needed to be there since if any of the kids had the same powers of dad from a single innocent kick could rupture all her internal organs. on kandor the krpytonians are powerless. it is explained that johnathan was the experiment that the DNA was based more on human DNA than krypton DNA and jordan the opposite. thats why johnathan most likely will never get any powers. the idea was that most likely one embryo would perish and would not be born since the krypton/human dna mix would not be compatible at some level but both managed to survive and be born. thats why jordan has some mental issues since the krpyton and human dna still clash in his brain but over the seasons he exploring his powers and regenerating with the sun as his father settles his emotional issues most likely the sun regeneration fixes somehow the human and krpyton unbalance in his head. not to mention its not cool to have an emo superboy that wont save you if he is not feeling up to it lol
Jordan and Jonathan are congenital twins. Biological twins (also called Identical twins), come from on egg and one sperm. The fertilized egg divides and eventually grow into two individuals. They share identical DNA and develop the same way. By contrast, congenital twins come from two separate eggs and two separate sperm. It's like the mother experiences two pregnancies, but they happen at the same time. Because of the two egg / two sperm situation, the two resulting individuals can have some traits that are dominant in one but not the other. For example, one may have straight blond hair, while the other has the dominate gene for curly black hair. So, since Jordan and Jonathan are congenital twins, it is entirely possible that one may get powers and the other may not.
6:03 Biologically, twins are the exact same age. Doesn’t matter if one came out 1 minute before or something. Even then, if one is a couple of minutes or even an hour older, there is barely a difference.
5:36 Only in Man of Steel (2013) was the Fortress of Solitude a ship. Though in the New 52 reboot (2011 to 2015) Superman's first Fortress of Solitude was the ship Brainiac travelled in to Earth. The New 52 tone wise very much inspired Man of Steel as it was the latest take on Superman. In 99% of renditions the Fortress of Solitude was built by Superman himself or was created by a Kryptonian artifact allowing for a slice of Krypton on Earth in the form of the Fortress of Solitude. I will say that the Fortress of Solitude within this show is pretty lacklustre. It's not JUST an ice cave but a whole home for Superman filled with rooms, items from across his adventures etc. But at least it was ice I guess, better than a ship.
I don’t see it that way because initially you could see the Jonathon was closer this is giving Jordan a chance to bond and come out his shell then you include Jonathon in.
I believe Smallville (although a fictional city) is supposed to be located in the state of Kansas, so it's technically more of a 20-hour flight to China
Clark doesn't take Johnathan to the Fortress because 1 he has no powers and that's the Arctic, he'll freeze in seconds and 2: He isn't taking Jordan there to tell him stories about Krypton. He is taking him there to train him and teach to use his abilities properly, the only thing that can happen with Johnathan there is that he gets hurt by accident.
don.. you HAVE to finish this show. this is a very good series and is THE best CW DC show. it's also the last show and the last episode is airing in 4 days, so this is the perfect time to finish this. this is a super good series so i recommend finishing this
"If we keep hiting the same spot, we might penetrate the shield." There's a scene in Superman Returns when a criminal decided, "Screw it. I'm gonna shoot him in the eye." The brother dynamic is well written and feels real.
6:46 ..yeah, I don't think they're gonna be spending much time on explaining stuff that is part of basically every Superman story canon ever like what the Fortress of Solitude is, or what Lex Luthor's whole Superman hatred deal is about, since that has basically remained the same across all interpretations of Superman so I don't think they're going to explain that. Superman is, by far, the most popular superhero character in the world, so they're probably just expecting you to have at least a baseline understanding of his stories, and then all the extra references to other Superman media or canon are just there for hardcore fans to take note of.
Actually, a few more episodes in, they do explain a lot about this captain Luther character because he differs from other lex Luther characters in previous movies. Idk if you have watched it so this is a SPOILER WARNING!!!! So don’t read the comment below this if you haven’t watched it or plan on watching it all
smallville was plagued with inconsistent writing from the start, superman and lois for the most part is pretty consistent and unlike smallville the charecters actually grow and evolve instead of keeping secrets every season. dont get me wrong. i love and respect smallville but it is incredibly flawed
26:57...WELL it IS a bridge in CHINA. So it probably took 15 minutes to put up and is probably made out of the wet noodle version of steel. But your guess is as good as mine. lol
Tractor tires do not go anywhere near $100,000 btw not trying to call you out or anything I’m sure you heard it somewhere but a good tractor tire costs about $3,000 per tire which is $12,000 total
I think what wouldve been cool (though it wiould never happen as the tv series's never want to use Batman) is if one brother got powers, and the other didnt, and Batman took the one without powers to train him so that, he wouldnt have to feel inferior to his brother without having powers
Lex Luthor, Superman’s archenemy, is the most intelligent human in the DC Universe. But in a way, there are really two versions of Luthor.... From 1940 to 1986, Luthor was depicted as the ultimate evil scientist -- obsessed with killing Superman ("mind over muscle," as he said in the 1978 Superman movie). In 1986, DC rebooted its continuity and Luthor was rewritten as a scientific prodigy who used his genius to become extremely wealthy and emerge as the major economic force in Metropolis. When Superman makes his debut, his ego and jealousy prompts him to target Superman -- the one person in Metropolis that he cannot intimidate or control. Despite the fact that Superman occasionally manages to prove Luthor's involvement in various illegal activities, Luthor can always find a legal loophole or pay someone off to avoid prison time. The fact that Superman’s ultimate enemy is a guy with no superpowers whatsoever has always been fascinating.
Watching a show that has characters and things that he doesn't know about, but pausing to ask questions instead of watching for answers... Also, his parenting thoughts are going screw up his kid up so bad, lol!
He's form a different world where superman took over earth and the blk guy in the suit was married to lois cus Clark and lois in that other world they never met
when it comes to kids getting superpowers from there parents there a chance of one them not getting it at all even though they may be twins or what not it's 50 50 for both they could've have ended just being superhuman with no powers or just human cause of their mom
I was hoping they'd split powers and they would activate while within proximity of each other. A twist to the Wonder Twins. Most of the times they were together when activated and would explain Jordan's weak test results at the Fortress. But my head canon didn't pan out, so it ain't spoilers to post this.
@@gualacheesesteak Many expect all action, and they have a short attention span, so anything with too much actual stories and not constant action, they usually drop it.
This show is actually the perfect show for Superman. It captures all the characters so well and is high quality

This Luther character is from another earth that Superman destroyed so that’s why he hates Superman in this show
The guy is from Twilight
Don has a 100 series to finish 😭
This show is with Stargirl the best CW and DC shows out there by far...
23:21 - Your instincts are correct, especially as the show goes on…
sarah is definitely the lowpoint of the show. shes still a decent charecter though.
unlike the flash. the shows weak links dont ruin the show
Lex Luther's power is being Superman's number 1 hater.
Bros always a d1 hater😭
I have the same car from 40:31 but its all black i love it
If you aren't worried about a 10 season length, you should checkout Smallville, it's pretty solid.
smallville was plagued with inconsistent writing from the start, superman and lois for the most part is pretty consistent and unlike smallville the charecters actually grow and evolve instead of keeping secrets every season. dont get me wrong. i love and respect smallville but it is incredibly flawed
ep 4 when
Can we get more!!
Yeah Superman has superhearing him hearing something that was in china is very small compared to how far he can hear things in the comics.
The Ai Grandpa only knows what it's programed to know
One kid got mindset of Clark and other one got powers of Clark(mindset of lois)
But even lois mindset is good (just with anger issues😅)

Spoiler Alert if you havent watched the show, Morgan Edge is actually Superman’s “secret” brother and son of General Zod.
And “Captain Luthor” is actually John Henry Irons aka “Steel” who was Lois’s husband from another universe.
