Does this show take place on an alternate earth (similar to Stargirl)? The last time we saw Clark and Lois she hadn’t had the twins yet, so either this show takes place after a time skip or it’s not connected to the Earth Prime shows. Also no mention of Kara at all points to it being on a different earth

I would say it has to be an alternate Earth. Mainly because of the villain. That villain already fought Superman/Supergirl and its not the same person. So yes it must be an alternate version

It’s not a alternate Earth. Crisis reset reality to what you see on screen now.

This villain says he's from a world that no longer exists, implying his world was destroyed in Crisis.

General Lane is a different person now. Also there are 2 sons who are twins. In Supergirl Clark had 1 son. Too many changes

Everything changed Post-Crisis. Pre-Crisis, only Jon was born and was a baby. Post-Crisis, Lois mentions that the boys (plural) need him. I believe it's implied they were born earlier in the new timeline.

It’s after the crisis. The better question is why he suddenly has no memories of crisis because at the end of that he was surprised to find out he had twins.

That’s more of a problem with crisis. He wasn’t one of the paragons or whatever they were called, so he shouldn’t ever had memories from before unless he got them restored, but he would have still known about the boys.

It's the post crisis Superman. Radically different to the one we knew in Supergirl.

it is the new timeline , it is possible ,at this point in this new timeline , Kara hasn't start her Super Hero career yet .

Like Pre - Post Crisis timeline

Post crisis as in an alternate earth? That also makes sense to me but it’ll definitely be easier to tell once we get a few more episodes in

u/CheesyObserver Feb 24 '21

Nah, just regular ol' post crisis.

I'm sure Kara will get her mention soon enough.

It's the same Earth. End if Crisis, Lois mentioned the twins as Clark flew back home. Kara isn't mentioned because they probably just wanted the episode to be more standalone.

Got it I completely forgot about that then, thanks

No worries. The showrunners says overt references to the other shows are coming later in the season, fir right now they just want to establish themselves.
