Lois dad said this in the finale...
“I’ve been working for the DOD for a long time,” Sam told his grandsons. “I’ve seen things you would not believe — glimpses of other worlds, and the leagues of superheroes they have on them. And even though we only have your father on this planet, thank God that we do, because he’s the finest of any Earth.”
the showrunner confirmed thats not our Diggle and they decided to pull out the Arrowverse after Season 1
How Is Superman & Lois Connected to the Arrowverse? EP Sheds More Light on Finale’s Long-Awaited Explanation
Tuesday's 'Superman & Lois' finale gave viewers the answer they've been waiting for, though not the one they expected.tvline.com
Speaking with TVLine, showrunner Todd Helbing acknowledges, “From Day 1, there were questions of how we were connected to the Arrowverse. If you go back to the first script that got sent to Warner Brothers and DC, it had a lot of references to other heroes like The Flash. There were moments when we were shooting, and I think I’ve said this before, but there was a photo of Kara on Lois’ desk at the Daily Planet. All of that stuff got slowly pulled out, and the more we did that, the more it became a can of worms to even mention it.”
So, why didn’t we get this big speech sooner?
“DC and I had a conversation during Season 1, and the decision [to keep Superman & Lois separate] was made then, but I couldn’t make it public until the end of this season,” Helbing explains. “So when I got all these questions [in previous interviews], I knew what we were doing, but I could never talk about it. It got a little frustrating on my end, but I totally understand DC’s position. So this put that to rest. I’ve said from the beginning that we want to put our own stamp on the Superman property. This wasn’t meant to alienate us from the Arrowverse, but because a lot of the other shows are sadly no longer going to be on the air, it felt like the right thing to do.”
While this Superman is aware of the multiverse, as established in Episode 7 of Season 1, “we have to think about this as a separate Superman, a doppelganger of the one who was in the Arrowverse,” Helbing says. “I understand why everyone has been wanting the references, but it would have felt wrong.”
(In other words, don’t hold your breath for any big crossovers in the near future. Or ever.)
As for the John Diggle we saw at the end of the Season 2 finale, he’s also — you guessed it — not the same Diggle that spent eight seasons kicking butt on Arrow.
“This is also a new Diggle,” Helbing confirms. “David Ramsey had grown a beard and grew his hair out. He called me and said, ‘I’ve been growing my hair, I look different. Do you want me to shave and get a haircut?’ So not to add more confusion to it, but he’s a different Diggle.” (Click here for more intel on the finale.)
Still doesnt mention why this version of diggle had an argus folder either... this is too convoluted... so is clark ever gonna mention kara or what??? Kara and Flash on the same earth but not on superman's earth???? this makes no damned sense...Json

They’ve been had a multiverse.
General lane is different but the Lucy looks the same .
They haven’t referenced anything that happened in the Arrowverse. Only that their world was rewritten to have two sons.
They had a multiverse but in crisis in infinite earths Oliver had to reboot the multiverse but because so many of the main earths was destroyed her merged most of them into the same earth like flash and supergirl's earth... supergirl and superman came from the same earth... so now it doesn't make any sense why they are apart...
the writers are fukking up here... i wish they clarified all this bullshyt...
Arrowverse Superman still exists, this is a different version, same with Diggle.They had a multiverse but in crisis in infinite earths Oliver had to reboot the multiverse but because so many of the main earths was destroyed her merged most of them into the same earth like flash and supergirl's earth... supergirl and superman came from the same earth... so now it doesn't make any sense why they are apart...
Just like John Henry came from a universe where his Superman killed Lois and the OG John Henry in this universe was killed by that guy new Diggle is looking for.
So all this time we've been watching a different superman not part of the arrowverse superman???
yep, they just didn't confirm it until tonight

I thought Stargirl took place on a different earth? He combined a bunch of them and some were destroyed.They had a multiverse but in crisis in infinite earths Oliver had to reboot the multiverse but because so many of the main earths was destroyed her merged most of them into the same earth like flash and supergirl's earth... supergirl and superman came from the same earth... so now it doesn't make any sense why they are apart...
I haven’t watched it in while.
they even have a green lantern there...

I've been letting these back up, but I finally got caught up tonight.
I like how that "sun dipping" stunt scaled this version of Superman up to the level that we normally expect from him. It always annoyed me a little that Superman as depicted in this show seems SO much weaker than every other TV or Movie Superman. I think even Homelander could beat the show's version of Superman, and Homelander in general seems quite a bit weaker than any other version of Superman.
But now that he's figured out that he can boost his powers directly from the sun, I hope this ends the days of Clark being on an equal level to regular humans pumped up with Kryptonite steroids.

I was wondering that myself. If anything was a crossover event it would be this one. But now, they've split the universes again. Even after Arrow ended with everyone being on the same Earth.

still don't know what Alston's deal was and at this point I don't care
Weak azz Ultra Karen villain wasting my time
Yeah they definitely needed to Vecna her to get across the point of what was actually at stake. That weak Parasite line didn’t mean anything.Not just swapping and fusion.
The image of the two planets fused was cool though
