I want Teri Hatcher to play the president who has already been established to be a woman.
He's Karas foster father.

Get Welling on the episode, but have him play someone else. Then you can trick people into watching, thinking they'd see him as Superman, just as Smallville did, back in the day.

Screw that. Gotham is amazing. We wouldn't have that if they just did a Batman show.
It's not like the previous decisions regarding their universes have led to much besides arrow and flash.

the Marvel shows don't do it, why would WB? and besides DC has a multiverse no need for amateur fan wankery of having everything tied up.
Smallville was it's own show. again, DC = multiverse.
why? they looked awful and the episodes were mostly shit anyway.
Snyder has nothing to do with who appears on what TV show. and also what makes you think these actors want to go on TV and play the same role. there are things called contracts and people don't just go play a role because a studio says so.
While the movie heroes don't show up on the shows, the associated characters like Coulson, Hill, Sif, etc. have appeared on television and the shows reference the films all the time. If someone like Thor or Cap were to cameo on one of the TV shows, there's no way it wouldn't be the film actors playing the roles. DC treats it's films and series as separate entities, but Marvel doesn't. Even if the inclusion is a bit one sided.

I think it was confirmed Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman from the 70's show) was playing that role. Or they were at least trying to get her for it.

Tom Welling. Dude still looks damn good.
Yeah, but Welling playing Clark Kent/Superman again even on the same network Smallville ran on but not being the same Superman would confuse people.
I miss Smallville . . . At least the first few seasons.
They just had an entire season on Flash about another earth and things being different on it, with the same actors playing different versions of their characters, and multiple Flashes.
It won't be an issue if they bring Welling in.
The Flash comparison isn't exactly apt though because the same actors on the alternate Earths were rarely similar. The Flashes of Earth-2 and Earth-3 weren't even the same people. If anything the DC multiverse hammers down the idea that the same actor/person wouldn't be the same superhero across multiple universes.
oh thank god.
Since they committed to him being in this world and with season one's terrible handling of him, I think it's really important they actually show him occasionally regardless of potentially making Kara seem smaller. (which I don't agree with anyway)
besides, now they can kill him off or do a million other ways to logistically require only Kara and not have him be this faceless enigma that just serves as an annoying reminder.

I wouldn't mind Tom Welling but everytime he would be on screen I'd be hoping to see Michael Rosenbaum as Lex too.

now this might be hard to understand, after all this is a vey complicated concept but I'll try to make it clear....you see............i liked them.
He already plays her adoptive dad in flashbacks.
The dream is dead.
They just need to make his head bigger.
Even worse, old Superman is sleeping with old Supergirl.
I always felt like he got done dirty by DC. He wasn't the problem with Superman Returns and I thought he was a decent Superman
Guy is supposed to be as awesome as Ray in real life, he even has already said he wants to do a Superman team-up with a lot of winks and references.

Not only in flashbacks.
It was revealed late in the first season that he had survived what all the characters had believed to be his fatal encounter with the original Hank Henshaw and had been held at Cadmus this entire time. Alex and J'onn were actually on their way to Cadmus to investigate when the events of the finale forced them to double back.
Iris & Joe & even Barry were pretty much the same, with very minor changes. The only thing changed was the dynamic between them due to not having the same relationship. Their personalities were pretty much the same (and before you say Barry wasn't as nerdy/awkward, think about the Proferssor Stein flashback). Barry just got a huge confidence boost with is powers, and of course growing up with Joe as his Dad with Iris in the same house changed the relationship dynamic.
And anyways, Tom Welling in costume being a mentor/seasoned Superman for 2 episodes would not be a problem or confusing. We never got to see that in Smallville. But if there's any truth to all that "Welling doesn't want to wear the suit" talk that was going around before, doubt he'll even do it.
When the hell did this happen? Last I saw of him he got pretty fat.
But the dude is scared of the suit, he probably wouldn't want to.
What..are you talking about?
Sounds like comic-level nonsense alright.
Are they still keeping Kara in an alternate Earth from the rest of the CW heroes?
The prevailing theory is that the universes will be brought together by the end of the season. There's a four way crossover in the works between Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow that will probably be the catalyst.
For now. It is assumed that the move from CBS to CW and a need for a four-way crossover will quickly kill that distinction. Flash finale even seemed to build up to a merging of the earths, until they took a swerve.
But if they do that, don't they open the Superman can of worms? Going to be really strange having him be a random Supergirl cameo while the rest are having cross-overs.
He might not make it into the new universe. Or he could end up trapped by the merging somehow, or sacrifice himself during the merging. We don't know, but if the writers wanted, there are ways they could remove him from the continuum.

Two episodes. That's enough time to show Superman and then Crisis Supergirl over to the Arrowverse. I cannot abide another season of dancing around the concept of Superman.
Hey, that was a great issue.
Hey, that was a great issue.
It sounds like it could very well end up being a pseudo-backdoor pilot to a Superman TV series in case they end up cancelling the Supergirl series. Really, the budget would practically be the same as Supergirl and Superman have the same power set, with the only difference being that Superman would probably draw far more viewers than Supergirl.
