It's why bullets will go right through them, even though they're superpowered under a yellow sun. Nah, Kryptonite gives off harmful radiation. Daxamites just have a super sensitive allergy to lead.

Yeah but it's functionally the same thing; it's not like they need to, what, eat the lead in order for it to affect them. Just being in the proximity of lead is dangerous.

Depends on the writer. Lar Gand had several stories where he didn't react until he touched lead.

But they still show him sitting, comfortably, in the ship before he leaves Earth. If nothing else it buys them some time. It just annoyed me.

So in the finale, General Zod is only used when Superman sees him in his hallucinations, right?

But he's apparently showing up for real at some point next year, hence why they cast an actor for him for the finale.

I'm very okay with Durance showing up on the show but, yeah, that's weird that they couldn't come up with a way to write around the absence and simply give Durance another part. See what happens, but very odd.

Speaking of Cyborg Superman. David Harewood Finds Cyborg Superman Boring David Harewood posted:“I don’t like playing Cyborg Superman,” he admitted. “It’s boring. They didn’t really flesh it out, they didn’t really write for the character. They just gave me this rather cheap-looking mask and no costume, and said ‘Okay, you’re Cyborg Superman.’ But it didn’t really pan out – they didn’t really go into why he was a cyborg, how he became a cyborg, what his powers were … it was just kind of randomly calling him ‘Cyborg Superman’,” he explained. Well said, David. Well said.

Aleph Null posted:Speaking of Cyborg Superman. They went into it a little, didn't they? He was a dick when he was in the DEO, and J'onn thought he'd died in whatever accident Dean Cain saved him from, and presumably he was recovered and bionic manned by Lexcorp. Except, yeah, why the gently caress does he think he's Cyborg Superman? The comic book Hank Henshaw had this whole revenge thing against Superman, and he spent a while impersonating Superman when the real hero was dead, so it made sense for him. TV Hank, not so much.

They backed themselves into it by using the Hank Henshaw name so they just loving ran with it. And it's dumb.

Wasn't comic book Hank Henshaw another evil Reed Richards ripoff? They should have just had fun with that.

I'm sad because they had the perfect opportunity to have Hank being reconstructed to look like Jeremiah and insistent that he's superman now.

I still think they need to get Brandon Routh, Tyler Hoechlin and Dean Cain in the same scene for one of the crossovers.

I never thought about it before now, but yeah. Ray Palmer clearly needs to meet Tiny Superman. I've wanted the Legends to start taking the Waverider Universe Hopping for awhile but that's just another reason.

Between Nathan Petrelli and Tony Stark in the Marvel animated shows, Pasdar's kinda been playing "lovely rear end in a top hat Superman" in one form or another for 10 years now, so it's cool he finally gets to be on a Superman-ish show. It's gonna be funny if he keeps showing up on Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. too in addition to showing on up Supergirl.

Probably a combo of the move to Vancouver and them wanting to distance Alex from the straight romance they had hinted at in Season 1. In unrelated news, tumblr is blowing up because of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQLU58Adtd4 Betcha can't guess where they get real mad. It's comedy gold.
