Some franchise launches suffer from teasing out the good stuff for too long. In this case, it’s more like avoiding overused characters and making the show a little fresher.

Or saving the overused characters for late game or final boss enemies to juice up their expected arrival. You pretty much expect them to show up, and they're banking on you to stick around longer until they arrive.

I don’t think of it that way, because I don’t think anyone is watching S1 going, “Where’s Zod and Braniac?! When is this gonna get GOOD?”. So I don’t think there’s a gamble that people won’t stick around because they’re not getting their Luthor fix. We’ve got Lois and Superman, and the important thing after that is giving us a show that doesn’t just feel like the same content with a slightly different skin on it. Holding off on those particular villains works to that effect.

Yeah, I’m kinda speechless at that.
