laughing at how bad snyder screwed the pooch for this to even be considered

>Any plans for a new Superman feature film, Man of Steel 2 or otherwise, stalled after the disappointing box office of Justice League. Sources claim that the studio lost confidence in Superman’s ability to draw audiences to the cinema. Meanwhile, Hoechlin’s performance as a more “traditional” Man of Steel on The CW’s Supergirl has been met with plenty of praise. As seen with Deathstroke, Warner Bros. are not big fans of having a character on the big screen and small screen at the same time, which gives more credence to a Superman TV series happening.

>Our understanding is that the fifth annual DC TV Arrowverse crossover Elseworlds, that will see Hoechlin return as Superman alongside Arrow, Supergirl, and The Flash, and the introduction of Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, will act as a backdoor pilot. How fans and critics alike respond to their portrayals will likely determine if a show centered around them gets off the ground or not. If proven successful, The CW would likely pickup the series. As previously reported, Warner Bros. will be taking a similar approach with the introduction of Batwoman in Elseworlds, in hopes that they can spin off the character into a new series.

>We want to make it clear that just because something is in development, doesn’t necessarily mean that the project will come to fruition. However, a project like this, assuming the crossover is well received, is likely to become a reality.
