Notes From The Mod

[scarynikki12]

One great thing about Superman & Lois is that a lot of the source material is well established in pop culture. You don't even need to have read a Superman comic to be familiar with the main characters and story beats of the Superman mythos. This also means accidentally spoiling your fellow posters isn't a concern in the same way it can be with the other Arrowverse shows.

That said there will undoubtedly be things that the show uses that aren't common Superman knowledge, or are from other areas of DC comics, so it's time to set some guidelines.

Episode threads:

 

Speculating that Lex Luthor, General Zod, or Brainiac may be behind whatever happened in the episode being discussed is fine. Don't let yourself get sidetracked into only speculation because it means our two speculation friendly threads will get lonely. Take it to either Unspoiled Speculation or Spoilers And Speculation.

Speculating that Obscure Superman Villain #1, Lesser Known Grey Hat #4, or Brand New DC Character #9 may show up based on something from the episode is not. If you want to discuss any character along these lines you need to take that to another thread. If you include spoilers, take it to that thread. If it's purely based on a comic you read then take it to Comic Talk.

Spoilers and Speculation:

Spoilers And Spec allows for comic talk. If you see a spoiler that convinces you that Jimmy Olsen or your favorite Superman storyline is coming to the show, then feel free to explain why.

If you don't follow spoilers but think that Jimmy Olsen or your favorite Superman story would fit right in with the show then you need to take it to the Comic Talk thread. Even if you don't follow spoilers you could accidentally spoil your fellow posters in the event that the S&L Powers That Be turn out to have the same idea.

The show is new enough that we don't yet know how faithful they will be with regard to the lesser known parts of Superman comics. It's better to take these areas of discussion to another thread than to go off topic in the episode threads.
