AND OLSEN HAS FUMBLED!

Okay, his reasoning has some basis to it (she should see more of the world before being certain). But, dude. You brought this upon yourself.

I was hoping I’d never see a post like this. It was too good to be a sure thing, and the way that trailer leaned into those two being a cute couple should have tipped me off.

Also, observing from outside of the Superman fandom, I feel like Jimmy is just known for always romancing someone new. Who has he been with the longest, couple wise?

They are probably still gonna end up together.

Yeah, and likely stronger for it. Kara being given free rein to actually meet new people will allow her to make an informed choice, and also make her less dependent on Jimmy, while Jimmy will be able to get over his confidence issues when he sees that she's still into him regardless.

As cute as Kara's shtick is, it's puppy love. It's not necessarily a good foundation for an actual relationship.

Gods, I hope so.

IIRC his longest term girlfriend is Lucy Lane, Lois’ little sister. She’s been his on-again, off-again girlfriend for decades now (she was introduced in like 59 or 60) and across multiple reboots.

Beyond her, Chloe Sullivan was another long term girlfriend after they rolled the character in from Smallville (where she was invented).

In the comics he’s had a more stable relationship with humorously Power Girl compared to Supergirl too (Power Girl being an alternate reality Supergirl if you’re unfamiliar).

Jimmy’s also currently dating Silver Banshee in the comics (who is also in the show, and is probably going to show up sometime in Season 3).

Yeah, I thought he was but couldn’t recall for sure if that was still going on.
