It's not a plot hole. People complaining about that poo poo seriously are loving spergs of the highest order.

Have you seen the pilot because it's a pretty big plothole.

Superman is probably referenced in every second scene and at the end of the pilot, you have a group of super powered alien escapees trying to kill Kara, you have a secret government organization literally armed with anti-Superman kryptonite weapons that have kidnapped her and its stated several times that Kara is there to protect her cousin.

It's like watching a show about a passionate dog owner except they're not allowed to say the word dog or show any pictures of a dog so you're left with a guy holding a bag of dog food for 'man's best friend' or standing outside a dog house he built for his 'four legged beast'. Its confusing and incredibly distracting for the audience.

The show doesn't need Superman to appear on it but it does need to explain why he is not physically there or even bothered to make contact with Kara since its also implied that Kara has never even seen her cousin since he pulled her from her pod and dropped her off with a bunch of complete strangers.

They just need everyone to address him by the same name and show a simple news report like 'Superman has gone into deep space to help some stranded astronauts' to explain why he doesn't just come and solve all of the problems because otherwise Superman just comes across as a gigantic dick.


The show is worth watching if they can break free from the problems in the pilot otherwise you're better off just watching reruns of Veronica Mars.
