That seems to be one of the major problems with characters in the 'Arrowverse' and just think about how much better villains like Anarky, Black Flash, Ra' al Ghul, Solomon Grundy, Cupid, Weather Wizard, Firefly, Prometheus could have been if they had made them like they are in the comic books. There are a lot of villains they have de-powered just to make them villains of the week that have taken the superheroes a lot longer to beat in the comic books 'cause they were so powerful or highly skilled fighters. Richard Dragon should be able to wipe the floor with Green Arrow the same way he did in the comic books with both Green Arrow and Batman and should be one of the toughest opponents Oliver has ever faced.

Maybe that could be the Arrowverse's motto: Love comics? Prepare for disappointment.

While 'Smallville' wasn't perfect and it did have some disappointing versions of superheroes and villains too like Doomsday and Darkseid which had a lot to do with the budget the writers of 'Smallville' were better at adapting characters that were more like their comic book counterparts whereas a large amount of characters in the 'Arrowverse' have very little in common with them apart from their names. I think they should get some of the writers of 'Smallville' on board and the shows might improve.

At least they tried with Doomsday. Did it work, no. But hey, A for effort! They didn't even try with Solomon Grundy or Reign! Darkseid. I have no idea what they were going for there. That was trippy as balls.

That was trippy as balls. Yes. The writers of 'Smallville' did try with 'Doomsday' and it failed but I will say I really liked the addition of a human side or human form for Doomsday 'cause it allows him to get around in the day without Superman knowing where he is and I also liked having him as the son of Zod and I think if the next Live Action version of Doomsday were to make him have a human form but be aware of who he really is and could switch back and forth between being Davis (or another name) and Doomsday it could work. 'Smallville's' version is miles ahead of the DCEU's version though 'cause the DCEU just made him into some mindless monster created by Lex Luthor who wasn't even his own character and in most of the comic books I have read Doomsday is his own character, thinks on his own accord and can talk. It is a shame they wasted him in 'Batman vs Superman' 'cause he could have been so much better if they had made him his own character.

The Dawn of Justice origin for Doomsday day makes no sense. Especially when you remember Krytonian and Human DNA have been blended together in the comics, giving us Connor Kent.

It doesn't make any sense and I honestly don't know what the writers of that movie were thinking making Doomsday into some type of Frankenstein monster created by Lex Luthor to fight Superman but I read Braniac was going to be similar in the scrapped 'Superman Lives' movie and he was going to be created by Lex Luthor and merge with Lex at the end of the movie which makes me glad the movie didn't go through now 'cause it is the exact same problem Warner Bros has with 'Superman' movies overusing Lex Luthor and not giving them a chance on their own. This is why Batman's villains are more well known 'cause Warner Bros gave them a chance to shine on their own in movies and we got to see a lot of them in the Adam West show but with Superman they continue to use Lex Luthor over and over again and it is annoying 'cause Superman has a lot of great villains that would be awesome to see as the leads in movies but as long as they keep making Lex the centre of everything we won't see them and if we do they will be like what we saw with Doomsday in 'Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.'

The Dawn of Justice origin for Doomsday day makes no sense. Especially when you remember Krytonian and Human DNA have been blended together in the comics, giving us Connor Kent. The thing is it could if you work it right, I have no idea what the comic says so this is how imo you justify it, Connor is a genetic half human half Kryptonian clone, he should given humans seem to possess no innate ability that Kryptonians don't, in fact take away the Kryptonian ability to convert/absorb/metabolise whatever you call it radiation in specific ways and they are seemingly indistinguishable from humans, so a half breed between them should possess minor benefits in one region but vast detriments in most others to a full blood Kryptonian, at best I would say the peak trade off should be a restricted ability to absorb energy, their cells can still absorb the same amount as a full blooded Kryptonian but using their powers drains them at the same speed with the downside they cannot charge up as fast so half humans should have a stamina issue, benefit being reduced ability to absorb radiation should allow for prolonged kryptonite exposure which is the one combat advantage they should have against full blooded Kryptonians.
That being said if that was the justification for splicing the DNA and the process used to make Doomsday wasn't just a simple mixing of the DNA but infusing it with a catalyst that created the Doomsday beast which then extrapolates and enhances specific positive genetic traits as well as incorporates other genetic traits compiled from other species that form the basis of the Doomsday structure, kind of like Doomsday is like a Xenomorph he isn't Zod but Zod acted as the host for Doomsday and Luthor splashed in some human DNA for no reason other than what kills Superman would be part human more specifically part him so it's his victory also.
That's how I would justify it atleast fuck knows what they did, but now I think about it doesn't Doomsday look a bit like the mistake conceived during a hate fuck between a Xenomorph queen, a Predator, the Newborn and a Ninja Turtle?

The thing I like as show the ships A.I. says this is an abomination but does nothing to stop it. Lex should have shown some of his smarts by overriding these protocols. But nothing happens. It's like the ship just wanted to sit back and see what happens next.
