Reply to comment by realblush in Superman & Lois casts Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor by klutzysunshine

This show is supposed to be a different universe to the Supergirl version, that’s why they’ve 2 sons, they aren’t infants etc. it doesn’t explain a few things but yep, not the same suoerman.

If it's a different universe then why was Diggle in S1? Is he universe hopping?

In season 2 Diggle’s different.

Basically the CW verse is most likely ending and the S&L creative team wanted to make them separate for some reason I guess?

Mostly likely?

The Flash was the last show standing and it ends this season.

Make sense not to depend on a long continuity, especially with how Supergirl ended.

Even Stargirl ended before it could attempt a crossover(reusing Jay Garrick).

If the show continues, i wouldn't be surprised if it goes to streaming.

At least it ended well.

The was enough closure that it stung a lot less than all the cliffhangers shows usually get canceled with nowadays.

Kudos to the show runners for doing that (and still providing space for more if it wasn’t cancelled).

TIL that The Flash, a show i loved in S1, is still on the air.

S1 was a lifetime ago.

My man Dig never got to become Green Lantern

He chose not to become the green lantern because it would take him away from his family (I think it was in the previous season of Flash)

Good to know, I've been trying to get through last season, but every time I watch an episode I remember why I took so much time off from watching it

Same, I just started watching the last season because my boy Oliver Queen is coming back for one episode in the final season.

Have to admit, the Ride the Lightning scene was pretty great though, even if it was a bit underwhelming.

It's definitely become a background show for me while I play Switch.

Yes, which was demonstrated by the end of Arrow. He has his own slider remote.

That was retconned in the second season of Superman & Lois, to say that the Diggle first seen in the first season was a different Diggle than the Arrowverse one. Who still has not given up his own Green Lantern ring box.

That happened after the crisis on infinite earths special though didn’t it? Still the same universe with supergirl just altered.

Pre-Crisis they just recently had Baby Jon and were engaged not married. At the end of Crisis they seem to be married and apparently now have two boys.

At the end of S & L S2 it went out of it's way to establish it's not Arrowverse. Officially the fact that Clark, Lois, Lucy Lane and Diggle are the same actors is due to different Earth dopplegangers. It's a retcon but what they're going with. So Arrowverse Clark and Lois haven't officially been seen since the end of Crisis.

I take it the different universe thing was a late decision, as they wrote the changes into Crisis on Infinite Earth.
