Spoiler alert, don’t read my comment if you haven’t seen the latest episode yet. If I may sundevil82, yes for now it seems Kingdom Come Superman has perished. But Keep in mind even though Black Lightning, Tyler’s Superman, Vibe, every single universe has been erased, and even Luthor using the book of destiny to replace Superman as himself there’s still hope to reverse it. My point is that all this wrong that… Read more »

To all of my fellow Superman fans, please don’t be discouraged about what happened in this latest episode. I ask you to please keep supporting Routh’s Superman. Keep asking WB,CW to bring him back. Your voices matter. They will listen to us if we keep asking for more of Routh’s Superman. Don’t give up. Let them know how much that we want Brandon for Superman. Let’s bring back Routh for Superman.
WB,CW, please listen to us fans. We want Brandon back as Superman. Bring him back.

Spidey, I’m freakin pissed. Bad enough we have no Superman in film and now this. If you need me, I’ll be reading my John Byrne run of Superman. They should have just started the supergirl show after Superman’s death by doomsday if they didn’t really want to do anything with him. But logic is something wb doesn’t understand.

It’s very telling when he’s treated more as a burden than a beloved character.

Spidey, I haven’t really seen Many negative (if any) reactions to Brandon’s Superman… which shows how tone def wb/dc is. He had such a positive reaction when the pics came out and he was so good in last nights episode that it just seems like the biggest bonehead move to take him out completely. What a joke wb is. And yeah sure he may or will probably come back but to take him off the board completely for the climax of the event is a crap move on their part. I’m so sick of this cop out move of them… Read more »

I’m with you Sundevil82. And while Tyler is decent as Supes, he doesn’t have the gravitas of Brandon imo. I see Tyler’s Supes as a patsy, which is mostly the writing, but also partly Tyler himself. Brandon and Welling for that matter carry it better I think. I laughed incredulously after seeing the end. How is it possible that not one person in power at WB/DC seems to understand and care about Superman? It’s quite astounding. I hope the next generation of leaders in the company get “it”. Just going to suck for the next 5-20 years. (for me at… Read more »

They don’t, remember right now these are the main characters of each show, this is WB saying we need to have the main heroes of each show save the day… Don’t worry Superman will get his time in the light, starting next year. Then the conversation will be reversed. Remember “Hope is the light that lifts us up out of Darkness.”

I understand that it’s their shows, but truth be told they haven’t even been handling Oliver queen well in this crossover and this is his swan song. That’s just my opinion though. I personally don’t understand why batwoman is being featured so prominently. They’re definitely trying to prop her up for her show, but she seems out of place. Supergirl, I understand her place, but batwoman should be featured less in something like this.

Truth be told I’m not a fan of Batwoman. Her show has dissed Batman one to many times for me to even care about her show at this point. In fact the only reason why I have been watching her show was to lead up to this crossover. After this crossover, I’m done watching Batwoman. I’ll keep watching Supergirl because I like her, and I’m looking forward to the upcoming Superman series, but I’m done with Batwoman.

Remember all not everything is always as it seems. We are going to have an Endgame type moment. Where all the heroes come back and they’ll fight the Anti Monitor and his armies. I’ll say this much I’m trying not to think of what just happened to Brandon’s Superman, it wasn’t the writers… It was that evil douche bag Lex Luthor. That Poisonous Snake did this. Have to say I’m really enjoying this Crisis. Besides Superman has to come back to save the day somehow, he’s going to have his own show so he’ll be front and center soon. As… Read more »

Yeah I’m not happy about this. As a Superman fan and as a Brandon Routh Superman fan, I feel like they did a terrible wrong to us fans. But don’t lose hope my friend. You’re not alone in this. Like I said before, let them know how much Routh’s Superman means to you and more importantly how much Superman means to you.

I want to add it’s not Just Routh’s and Hoechlin’s Superman that they did this to, it’s also Welling and every possible version of Superman in the multiverse too. So right now I just feel really annoyed about this. Sigh…….. At least we know that a version of Superman will be brought back. Time will tell if Routh’s Superman and other’s will be brought back as well. I’m not going to lose hope though. If there is one thing to keep in mind, they have killed off different characters before only to bring them back later. So if Routh’s Superman… Read more »

WB,CW, I’m very disappointed right now. Last night you gave us one of the best versions of Superman back onto the small screen. Yesterday’s episode was brilliant. But now, you do this. Superman is the world’s greatest superhero. He deserves respect. Please fix this mess. Think of all of his fans. I can only speak for myself and I think that I’m not alone when I say this, but this episode was terrible. The worst. Yesterday you had the best, but today you have the worst. Think about that.

I just want to say that I love seeing Brandon Routh as Superman again! We really were robbed by not seeing him in more Superman movies. I always said they should have come up with an original movie for his Superman. Also, I love seeing RED heat vision again! I never did care for the blue. Anyway, I’m not sure what will happen next, but I am hoping they will merge Supergirl and Superman’s Earth with the Flash’s. It just makes sense. And honestly, I see no reason to kill off Oliver/Green Arrow. If he doesn’t want to continue with… Read more »

You know I’ve been thinking. Usually whenever a character dies in a movie or show there’s a body. But if there’s no body chances are they will probably be back for a future episode. Routh’s Superman had no body to recover. So I’m betting that we’ve haven’t seen the last of him.

The more I think about it now, the more I’m certain that they wanted fans to be angry about what they did to the Supermen. I mean think about it. Brandon, Tom, Tyler, Superman. They all have a big fan base. And they pretty much angered all four groups of fans. Although Brandon,Tom, and Tyler can also be put into the Superman category of fans since they all have played the part. My point is, I’m thinking that they wanted the fans to be angry about this so that come January, there will be a big payoff to the fans… Read more »

But I’m not disappointed in your Superman. And I don’t blame you for the episode. I’m still going to support your Superman and advocate for you to have a Superman series. I’m not going to give up on your Superman Brandon. And hopefully WB will listen to the fans and make a Kingdom Come Superman series staring you Brandon, as Superman.

This episode was amazing… as for Superman being taken out at the end, it was a Lex Luthor type move really, Superman’s not Supergirls greatest enemy pulled it, and we all know that Superman will be back. Tyler did not look to worried when the wave hit them. He looked hopeful that they would still win. And with Ollie as the Spectre that was straight out of the comics and soooo cool. And lets not forget Lucifer…this episode and Cross over is beyond epic.

You know what sman1938? I believe that you’re right. I believe Superman and every Superman will be back.It’s not over yet. They could still turn this around. Why this could still turn out to be the best crossover. So I’m not going to lose hope. I’m going to be optimistic for the rest of the crossover, and hopefully, hopefully they will right this wrong by the end of this event. Thank you for your words of encouragement sman1938. 🙂 It’s what I needed to hear.
Stay optimistic my fellow Superman fans! It’s not over yet! 🙂

Everybody should know by now that these cross overs have story lines that end up in ways that look bad at one time then totally opposite the next. Lucifer showing up was a prime example of total shock. Thought it was great!! But to me the most awesome scenes were with the original Flash. Seeing him on the treadmill and the flash back scenes showing his younger self along with Amanda Pays really hit it out of the park. And his emblem lying on the treadmill being all that was left of him left me feeling a bit depressed. Through… Read more »

I’m not going to stop advocating for Routh’s Superman to have a series, and I know that there are other fans advocating for one as well. And I firmly believe that if enough people want Brandon’s Superman back after this event, then he’ll be back. I’m not going to give up on Brandon’s Superman.

Someone made this musical tribute to Reeve. I thought it was well done, and I thought it goes well with all the images of Routh’s Kingdom Come Superman especially the Alex Ross inspired one Routh had posted a couple of months back.

I did not make this video, nor did I have any part in its production. I just saw it on YouTube and I wanted to share it with all of you.Whoever made this video did a fantastic job. I listen to it to remind me of Routh’s Kingdom Come Superman.

After watching the scene where Routh’s Clark meets Bitsie’s Lois, I can’t help but think that something special is going to happen between these two characters. It just seems to me that Lois and Clark shared a moment that I don’t think that she has shared with her Clark. I wouldn’t be surprised if say two years from now in season two of the Superman and Lois series something happens to her Superman and Routh’s version shows up and becomes the permanent Superman for the show. After the loss of her Clark she spends a lot of time with Routh’s… Read more »

I noticed the moment you’re talking about and it was a glimpse of how much Brandon could have used a better Lois the first time round. I think it’s mainly that even with a different face, Clark is still Clark on any Earth. So she feels that even after having only just met this version. As for your idea of Brandon replacing Tyler midstream of the series I don’t know dude, think that might be going a little overboard on your Brandon support. Not saying that to insult you or your enthusiasm. I’m totally digging Brandon to but I also… Read more »

Maybe they can figure out something for Brandon’s Superman. If not on CW, then maybe on SyFy or HBO.I’m open to there even being a show on a streaming service or on HBO max. And I’m not one for shows on a streaming service, so I’d gladly make an exception in this case. I know that there’s fans supporting the idea of a Brandon Routh Superman Kingdom Come HBO max show supporting the idea on Twitter. If anything, I’ll settle for him showing up once every year or once in a while for both Melissa’s and Tyler’s show as Superman.… Read more »

I just can’t see why WB wouldn’t want to do something more after this crossover for Routh’s Superman when he’s been getting big positive responses from his fans. The fans love this version. It just wouldn’t make sense not to do more for this version of big blue after this crossover. They are literally sitting on success with Routh’s Superman. All they have to do is just reach and take it. Take this success.

Brandon’s leaving Legend Of T. This is his last season with the show. Haven’t read any article what he intends to do. But really, this was somewhat of an anomaly in the first place. As much as I though they should have gone on with a sequel to SR his role as Superman will always be defined by SR. This TV cross over is still (as far as I’m concerned) a total down grade to what he accomplished on the big screen.

I’m more of a wait till the end of the story kinda person, but that’s just how I feel. True a lot of Brandon’s performance is defined by SR, but even after all these years he has proven that he’s still a great Superman. Still one of the best in my opinion. And my second favorite next to Reeve. I’m still holding onto the possibility of him getting a Superman series of some kind. I know that there was an interview he did recently where he said that he found closure for his Superman for the crossover, but he also… Read more »

And I would also point out that it was thought that he would never play Superman again after Superman Returns, but I said that it was possible do to the multiverse. And here we are. He was able to wear the cape again. So as the saying goes, “ never say never”.

If they don’t decide to give him a series, then I hope they can at the very least leave the door open for his Superman to return.

Yeah, I have no issue with Routh’s Superman being sort of like a Jay Garrick to Tylers Superman. I actually wish they had more scenes together like Superman of Earth 1 and Earth 2 did in the COIE comics. As for the whole thing with Luthor popping up in his place I think it mainly bothers me only because given the track record it wouldn’t actually be *that* surprising if Routh’s Superman was needlessly cut out of the final battle. BUT I can also see how they’re setting up a cool payoff with him. It could go either way but… Read more »

I hope that they make multiverse action figures of both Routh’s Superman and Hoechlin’s. There is a Kingdom Come Superman figure, but it’s not the Routh version and the articulation in the figure is so fragile that it could fall apart if moved to much.
