"Superman & Louis" premiered on CW this week, and it got enough praise from my comic friends that I (finally) checked it out today. I don't watch the CW at all (used to watch "Flash" but it got away from me years ago), so I don't know much about their DC TV universe. I say that ONLY to underscore I had zero expectations (other than "comic book TV shows are inevitably cheapish looking") and knew nothing of the premise other than the title and actors.I was a bit shocked that the opening prologued basically took us from Kal-el arrive as a baby-growing up in Smallville-moving to Metropolis to be Superman-meeting Louis-getting married & having twin boys! All of that was merely voice over setup to get to the main series, which almost immediately kind of floored me a little bit! The premise of the series seems to be a family drama, with Clark trying to balance being a dad & husband with being Superman. The show creatives went with a fairly traditional Superman take (good ol' wholesome Supes) with a modern spin of being a family man with teenage kids. Clark is the earnest being that has existed in the comics for 80+ years, and Louis is the same strong take-charge type she has always been portrayed. Anyone else see this? If you missed it it's on demand
Ok, whew! I'd thought that the Superman saga had gone transgender. "Superman and Louis"... Sorry perc2100... I couldn't resist...
