So is this show responsible for the superhero on tv renaissance?

A Batman HBO show next pls.
 
I watched the first two episodes for the first time since they aired and holy crap the change from "placeholder Sara" to Lotz (or now in this case Lotz going back to the original actress) was even more jarring than I remembered.

Nah, Smallville, the MCU, and to a lesser extant Heroes, proved the viability of Superhero media

While I agree to a degree

I think the Walking Dead and Arrow deserve credit for a resurgence of comics on TV as a major entity.

Granted,Smallville was huge when it aired, but it was always kind of... well not quite Superman. Arrow has no problems embracing its comics roots.

Yes. At least the current surge we're seeing. Especially since it's the one that pushed the idea that tv show doesn't need to be ashamed of being live action comic book.

Arrow is allowed to embrace it's roots because Smallville took that first step. As for Smallville not being Superman, it's Clark's Journey to superman and I feel they dragged it out for too many seasons
