It's kind of bizarre that the most standard Superman-esque stories nowadays seem to be "What if Superman was evil?" or "What if Batman punched Superman in the face?"

There is Superman & Lois on HBO, which is "What if Superman was a really great dad?". Highly recommended. They eventually meet Bizarro Superman, and the main difference is that he is a super lovely dad who prioritized his Superman career over his children. It rules.

It seems dumb to drop the Allen the Alien supersoldier program just because he couldn't take a Viltrumite in single combat. He's still the best they've got; maybe two or three of him could take a Viltrumite, and an entire army could take a smaller army of Viltrumites.

In the latest episode the bug alien says he's taking Mark a couple galaxies away. Which is a hell of a distance for his dad to fly.

But I'm going to put that at the feet of the eternal inability of writers to understand the difference between star systems, galaxies and universes.

The bug's entire story turned out to be bullshit. We have no idea how far away the planet actually is.

How does Debbie receiving the money from Nolan's books make her feel in debt to Cecil? That's her loving money! Wasn't he just helping manage the estate or something?

I think the 'book sales' were just a cover for them getting fat government checks, they don't really sell that well.

It makes sense that the money officially goes to the government - to maintain the secret identity - but I do think the books probably legitimately sell that well. I mean, if Superman wrote novels in the DC universe, they would probably sell pretty well, especially if he later turned evil and everyone was poring over them looking for signs.

Wouldn't it be Clark Kent writing the books in that case?

That's a good question. I just rewatched the scene, and there is no author name on any of the covers we see. I just assumed it was officially Omni-Man writing about his adventures since he seems to be the protagonist.

Have we ever been told how far the copies can get from the original? They always seem to be hanging out as a group.

Where does that come from? Season 1 his meeting mark was his first time going to earth.

Eh, not it wasn't. He explicitly says that he has been visiting Earth regularly.
