Talk about an amazing show. I was hooked from the start. It took a new unique approach on Superman and Clark Kent. Not to mention, Lois, Lana, and the rest of the gang. Of course then there are Jordan and Jonathan, the children. Hell even Lex Luther was amazing in this show. But, there is one character that was beyond amazing, and it’s one of the villains.
That’s right, I’m talking about. Doomsday. This show did something right with the character. They kept killing the subject over and over until it became Doomsday, an unkillable creature. Just like the comics. Sure in the comics they started with a baby on Krypton. But Superman and Lois’ way of doing it is acceptable to me as well.
It felt like each season built upon previous seasons. Lois’s breast cancer, Clark’s human heart. When they both died in the finale, it broke my heart. Superman isn’t supposed to die, but well the way the storyline went, he did; and you know what? I’m OK with that. Lois also died from her cancer that came back. I won’t lie, when I watched those scenes with their grown children and grandchildren? I had tears in my eyes. Talk about a finale!
It’s a shame that the show was canceled, but it was nice they were able to tie up loose ends and plot lines. I understand why they didn’t have a longer series. They wanted to focus on the cinematic universe and didn’t want to confuse viewers between movies and a television series.
The show felt real to me. I loved the interaction between the two sons. They were best of friends even when they were upset with each other, they had each others backs and forgave each other. It was just that cool of a show. It really showed that Clark was more than Superman, more than a man in a red cape. He had compassion, humanity within himself. I’ll admit, when I first saw him in Supergirl as Superman I wasn’t sold, but seeing him in his own show? Yeah, he’s def a good Superman.
