OMG!!! You just me realized why I don't really care for rewatching those last 2 (or 3) seasons despite the fact that the used a lot more DC characters/settings/storylines/themes/etc. from the comics than the earlier seasons did.
I don't think it's ever been discussed or ripped enough about how bad they portrayed Darksied, Apocalypse, & his supporting characters in the last season. It was LAUGHABLE!! It's why I prefer Animation over Live-Action when comes to DC & Marvel TV shows. The portrayal of Doomsday & Deathstroke isn't even as close to being as bad.
at what they did with Jimmy Olsen!!!!!!!!!!!
I prefer the first 7 seasons over the last 3 seasons because they fit in more as a typical WB/CW show & I can watch that as comfort television.
I still like Season 8 & think the first half of that season was probably the best stretch of the entire series.
