ARROW’s Stephen Amell to Announce Something Huge at The CW U

I always appreciated how in Smallville Clark's youth didn't detract from his natural leadership, it showed Clark was not just strong because of his powers but because of who he is as a man, and what he was taught by his parents, we see it in the team ups Clark's the one with perspective beyond just himself, where Oliver, Arthur. Bart and the others would think only about their pov Clark would recognise the validity in their goals or position but maintain his position about there being a better way, an ultimately Clarks ideals are what shape those around him, or he's proven right, this is more enjoyable for me as a Superman fan than him being the established hero everyone listens to just cause he's Superman.

Deb with J'ohn I think the logic is two fold, 1 with Supergirl off world the earth needs an adequate fill in for her maybe even an actual stand in so people don't notice every time Kara leaves for a wedding or something Supergirl just vanishes, 2 they didn't know that there was going to be an attack by Nazi's or just how big their army was, all they saw was that Earth X had their own Supergirl, Arrow & Speedster so what's the need to go running to J'ohn when they have their own army of meta's at their disposal?

Sad thing is they had a chance to use Manhunter and include an evil version which could have been his twin Ma'alefa'ak to balance out the power thing, but instead of it being his twin he's just the Earth X counterpart, this way they could have also had him find his way to Supergirl's earth to give J'ohn another separate storyline for next season or so or make him a season long enemy where the issue is how do they fight what is essentially J'ohn if he turned rogue, but it was not meant to be.
