Reply to comment by srstone71 in Superman & Lois casts Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor by klutzysunshine

The Superman show is on a different Earth from the Supergirl show. I'm not entirely sure why they did that, and why they waited until the end of season 2 to make that clarification, but it is a different universe

Well, it wasn't a clarification, it was a retcon. Like 2 episodes earlier they had John Diggle guest dealing with an ongoing issue on the other shows.

The producer said they did it because with the final Flash season, the Arrowerverse is dead and they didn't want to be anchored to it.

The funny part is that the SM&L producer even said "this version of Diggle is different and we show this by giving him longer hair and a beard."

He showed up on The Flash a few weeks earlier with the same exact hair and beard.
