Maybe theyre able to invest more in Special Fx?
Theyre filming in Canada now. Im sure California filming has more fees imposed on them as opposed to Canada.
Thatâs certainly part of it. I think the other part is the licensing fee. WB owns the Superman/Supergirl license. CBS had to play a substantial fee per episode to broadcast Super Girl. It think it was a million per episode. The CW is co-owned by the WB. So, I doubt they have to pay that fee. The budget may be lower, but they may actually have more to spend per episode.
Doesnât CBS own CW?
CBS is owned by Viacom. CW is owned by Warner Bros. Supergirl was only on CBS due to a special agreement between the two parent companies, which is now null and void.
Rock hit the nail on the head. The CW is the result of the WB and UPN putting on Potara Earrings. As such itâs 50% WB and 50% CBS.
canadian govt gives you money to film there. everyone leaves cali cause its expensive as fuck. its pretty rare for movies and shows to film in cali anymore.
Thanks for the correction, Rock. I thought it had fully went to WB after the merger.
Cat wants some of that Clark Kent diugh.
Winn is SUCH a Superman fanboy! LOLZ
While thatâs true, the move to the CW still couldâve reduced some kind of licensing fee. Moving the show to a network co-owned by WB could still be a benefit in that same way.
CW really cleaning the house in just 2 episodes. Gotta give them props for that. Pretty smooth soft reboot.
Alex has an admirer. LOL!
Miss Martian and Mon-El. They pulling out all the stops. Edit: The lesbian cop is Batwomanâs girlfriend. Well in the comics anyway.
Kai is mon el and that lesbian detective is from one of those vampire diaries or originals showâŚ
CW is all about job security. Your show gets cancelled? Theyâll find you something. ExampleâŚ
Yeah from what show is the lesbian detective?
Looks like they are basically making Mon-El into Superboy. He canât fly. No heat vision or freeze breath.
Was not feeling that Drega look at all. Dude looked like a drunk alien farmer that just finished a round of savage backhands to people stepping on his crops.
So Alex is hot for Maggie but sheâs already spoken for. Whelp, that blonde will be dumped soon enough
Miss Martian is a White Martian. Finding that out was a bout as shocking as finding out Annakin Skywalker grows up to be Darth Vader. Thank you, Young Justice!
Iâm waiting for Aqualad to show up and replace Jimmy. This whole Guardian thing seems like last ditch effort to keep him relevant in the show. He seems like a fish out of water. Everyone else that came over from season 1 seems to be better this year.
Black jimmy dont fit. Not cos he is black but cos of the way he is portrayed. ie. overly confident.
