June 29, 2022: Todd Helbing Explains "Superman & Lois" Season 2 Finale

SPOILER WARNING: In a new interview with TheFlashPodcast, "Superman & Lois" showrunner Todd Helbing explains some of the points made in the Season 2 finale of the series.

In regards to the decision to have "Superman & Lois" separate from the other "Arrowverse" shows, and set on a different earth, Helbing explains:

"I had a conversation with DC, in season 1 about this, there was a desire to put our own stamp on the Superman mythology and just have it be able to function on its own. But the more we got through season 1 and the end of the season 2, it's just felt more honest to not have it be on the same planet. I think when all the other shows were on at the same time, it was easier to do references like The Flash in Central City and Supergirl in National City. But for our show, like our big bads became so huge, and there's no way like, having two worlds merging, but everybody won't be there. Unfortunately, now that these other shows are no longer going to be on the air, it just didn't feel like it was gonna be rewarding. I'm sure there's gonna be some fans out there that are upset. I totally understand, but I think the decision was just made to keep our show on a different planet and do the best we can."

As for John Diggle and his role, Helbing explains:

"This is the doppelganger of John Diggle, he's one of the many doppelgangers that exist. There are similar things that happened because I couldn't reveal what we're planning in season 1,. So when Lois and Clark talk about they know about the Multiverse, we were very careful the wording and then when Diggle shows up in season 1, he's a doppelganger, who at some point got presented this box in probably a very similar fashion. There was an Oliver Queen that he worked with. There are probably a few other superheroes that he worked with, but none of them had powers. So it wasn't an Oliver Queen that died on that Earth, but Superman was the first powered superhero to show up. So what Diggle was referencing is there were other people there, but there was nobody like Superman. He's the greatest. He's the best. He's the only one who could fly. He's the best of all time. So that's sort of the canon that we're working with."
