LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: Make Earth Hell Again In The New Promo & Photos From The Season 4 Finale: "Hey, World!"

@WarnerBrother -
I think killing them both off can work, just depends when each happen, cause look at the comic, Supergirl and The Flash's death, im sure both were a big deal back then. They could kill superman earlier in the crossover and kill Oliver near the end of it.

Agree with you on Oliver's funeral being the end of it, hope Thea shows up. Superman's death might not be that big of a deal in the arrowverse, considering most of the heroes dont know him, I guess it depends on what aspects of earth 38 get folded into earth one, if earths merge. Okay yeah there is Lois and the baby, but The Flash and Iris had kids after Barry died in the comics.

I guess Clark can just go into retirement, but I kind of see this as a good way to send him off, its a big event, plus gets rid of the problem of not knowing when they will be able to use Superman again and having to come up with excuses for why he isnt around, seaon 1 he was under the control of myriad, season 2 he was involved, we didnt get one in season 3, season 4 he is on krypton. Since he isnt the focus of anything, they dont really need him, we have accpeted Kara, Barry and Oliver as the arrowverse trinity.

We would love a Lois and Clark show, but come on, its not going to happen, there is no way Warner Brothers will ever give Batman or Superman a tv show again, they are too overprotective of those franchises. We got Smallville and Gotham, but those are prequel, thats why we have Supergirl and are getting Batwoman

Killing Superman off would be a big deal on Earth-38 and not folding Superman's history
into a merged Earth would do serious damage to Kara's character development. If you
have to kill Superman, he needs to leave a heroic legacy Kara is always striving to live
up to.

You could kill him off early in the Crisis, but that would be the worst of everything to have
him get whacked on the opening Supergirl Episode of the crossover.

I don't think WB has ever had a Superman embargo like they have had for Batman.

I would actually be fine with Arrowverse Superman dead if I knew for sure that Superman
was a priority for WB but I have heard from sources like Mark Hughes from Forbes, that Supergirl
may actually be a higher priority for WB to develop as a franchise then the Man of Steel himself.

If the studio goes with Supergirl as a film franchise they may wish to have a fallback plan
for a replacement show if the Superman film franchise is being put on the shelf.

That's why I brought up semi-retirement. The baby (Jon Kent) would be an ideal situation
where Superman steps down and raises his son with Lois. It's the perfect acceptable excuse
why he's out of the way and you could explain him not coming out of retirement every other
week to bail out Kara, the same as you would with Barry Allen who we all assume will be residing
on the same Earth after the Crisis.

Kara, Alex, J'onn, James, Brainy, the DEO and all the Earth-1 metas led by The Flash, ( can we
finally use some kind of Justice League name here?) Got this.
