The “Save Me” music cue when they arrived in Smallville was everything I never knew I wanted.

I remember the Teen Titans issue where Bart (Kid Flash) gets a Green Lantern tattoo because no one would suspect his secret identity that way.

Right now I’m Arrow/Legends tied for first, the Supergirl-->Flash-->Black Lightning.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw the nod to LOST in the opener.

The power plays of the Shepherds are delightfully absurd.  It’s like the show just accepts that they have ridiculous amounts of authority based on nothing but “a dead guy made promises to us, so we declare whatever we want to go.”  This reached new heights in this episode, where Seth was allowed to barge into a room

For real.  A toddler with the speed force would be terrifying.

Right.  Jessica Parker Kennedy might be 34 years old, but Nora is coming off as somewhere between 18 and 22.

Go classic, I say.

The tongue flicking is great. I don’t know if it was in the script or a choice of Ledger’s (I think Ledger’s choice), but it almost certainly indicates that he’s been on, and is coming off of, anti-psychotic drugs.

Think about this: in the 364 day period from July 7th, 2017 to July 6th, 2018, we got FIVE movies in the MCU: Spiderman: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnorok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-man and The Wasp. That’s amazing and absurd all at once.

President Sheridan has experience with aliens and an Earth First movement, so he should be on solid footing here.

Back To The Future 2 & 3 was, I believe, the first time a franchise shot two sequels at the same time, instead of the usual method of releasing a second movie and gauging whether or not to do a third based on response. This tactic was the primary methodology behind the then unprecedented Lord of the Rings, where the

Though I remember my grandfather saying, “Yeah, Bob Hope isn’t that funny, but during the war, he’d do shows in places that generals wouldn’t go to.  That gets you some loyalty.

“Optimus, Bumblebee, Jazz, Megatron”

2006 Posey pretty much was the avatar of ideal Lois Lane, which made Bosworth’s miscasting so much more apparent.

One thing that stood out to me at the time was how this movie and Batman Begins approached their subject from completely different places. Batman Begins essentially had a thesis statement that it had to work to earn the audience back. Superman Returns acted as if it had the audience in its corner from the get go.

No one needs that.

I honestly think it was a movie that audiences just weren’t ready for in 2003, and people remember that it should be dismissed for not being true to the text, instead of embracing what it was doing.

Also, didn’t he only start staying at her guest house AFTER his sister was killed?

A “G” is giving it far too much credit.  It gets an “H”.
