After a commitment in September 2014, the series was officially picked up by CBS earlier this month. The pilot was scheduled to debut in November, but those plans have now massively unraveled after the episode leaked online, six months earlier than its planned debut.
Two ‘Scene’ release groups – DiMENSiON and LOL – competed to premiere the title first this morning, with the latter beating the former by around 90 seconds. LOL’s version is a convenient 400mb so likely to become the most sought after copy. On the other hand DiMENSiON’s is more than 15 times the size, but for 1080p connoisseurs it’ll be worth the wait.

Just like The Flash leaking early, I think this is good PR. Build word of mouth and anticipation and then add 5 mins on to the November airing.
It’s a good start. Effects look good, definitely has the big network money compared to the look of the CW shows (which i think do amazing work on their much smaller budgets). More female targeted as you would expect.
My biggest con would be the Jimmy Olsen story line. Jimmy is supposed to be a young and super enthusiastic best friend, not some lady killer Pulitzer prizing winning photographer. Hopefully he isn’t a series regular.

Yeah the Jimmy Olsen slant has me scratching my head (and no it’s not because of his ethnicity recasting). Making him this player type of guy was totally not necessary. That, the Superman hints (WB needs to just go ahead and embrace a connected universe already) and the music are the only gripes I have. I liked pretty much everything else.

I am definitely not going to see it because if I do I will not be able to wait for the next episode. Hopefully this will be a good show and a big hit.

What I meant was I am not going to see it now I am going to see it when it is supposed to come out.

If you see it now, you WILL NOT be able to wait? wtf?

Lets hope it doesn’t fall under the USSR or we’re fucked.
