Superman & Lois' New Version Of John Diggle Explained By Showrunner
WARNING: This article includes MAJOR spoilers from the Superman & Lois season 2 finale.
Superman & Lois showrunner Todd Helbing explains how the series' new version of John Diggle differs from the Earth-Prime version. Since Superman & Lois premiered on The CW in 2021, its connection to the Arrowverse has been a mystery.

TheCrisis on Infinite Earths crossover even set up the major premise of the show by having their family history retooled. Instead of just having baby Jonathan, the five-part crossover changed things so that Lois and Clark instead had two sons, Jordan and Jonathan, who were born earlier in the Earth-Prime timeline.

The biggest tie-ins have been the return of Jenna Dewan's Lucy Lane from Supergirl, with an altered history, and David Ramsey's John Diggle.

After Superman & Lois' lack of Arrowverse connections across season 1 and 2, Helbing assured fans that they would learn at the end of season 2 where the show fits into the wider franchise.
