BLACK
BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES JUST LIKE WE SAW CREATE THE SAME KIND OF CRACK IN THE COOLING
TOWER NOW IS IT? NO ONE AT
EITHER PLANT SAW AN I DON'T
KNOW YET. SHE CAN'T GET
EQUIPMENT IN HERE. I NOTICE
BOTH TRACKS ARE MAN MADE THAT
THIS IS WHAT CONCERNS YOU GUYS.
THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD. THE
SERIES PREMIERE OF SUPERMAN AND
LOIS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE ON
THE CW AND IT'S HAPPENING
TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY A BRAND NEW
SPECIAL WITH US LIVE THIS
MORNING. WE HAVE SUPERMAN AND
LOIS THEMSELVES. TYLER GLENN
BITSIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING WITH US THIS MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. MORNING. THANKS
FOR HAVING US. SO I WATCHED THE
SNEAK PEEK KEPT ME IN SUSPENSE.
IT GETS EMOTIONAL. THERE'S A
MOMENT WHERE I EVEN GOT TEARY
SO A LOT OF LAYERS TO THIS
SHOW. SUPERMAN TYLER, IF WE
COULD START WITH YOU, HOW WOULD
YOU DESCRIBE WHAT FANS WILL GET
TO EXPERIENCE? THEY'RE GOING TO
GET A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING
.YOU KNOW, THEY WERE KIND
ENOUGH TO GIVE US A 90 MINUTE
PREMIERE SO WE DIDN'T REALLY
HAVE TO CUT TOO MANY THINGS
OUT, WHICH IS GREAT. THE SHOW
WAS SHOT LIKE A FEATURE. IT
LOOKS LIKE A FEATURE AND I
THINK TO KICK OFF THE SHOW AND
HAVE A 90 MINUTE YOU'LL FEEL
LIKE YOU COULD KIND OF GET TO
WATCH A MOVIE INTRODUCED TO
THIS WORLD AND THESE CHARACTERS
AND IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S
NOT AN ORIGIN STORY. IT'S A
IT'S A PART IN THEIR LIVES.
I'VE NEVER SEEN THESE
CHARACTERS BEFORE SO I THINK
IT'S SOMETHING EXCITING AND
NEW. YEAH, I DEFINITELY AGREE
WITH THAT. I MEAN YOU SEE SO
MANY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS IT
TAKES YOU THROUGH WAVES
OF EMOTIONS. BITSY YOU PLAY
LOIS LANE OF COURSE. AND NOT
ONLY ARE YOU THE STAR REPORTER,
YOU'RE MARRIED TO SUPERMAN BUT
YOU ALSO HAVE KIDS AND THAT
ACTUALLY SEEMS TO BE THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE BUT THEY
THINK A LOT OF PARENTS MIGHT
AGREE WITH. YEAH, I THINK
THAT'S ONE THE MOST APPEALING
THINGS ABOUT OUR SHOW IS THAT
WE'RE SORT OF USED TO SEEING
LOIS LANE AND SUPERMAN AS BEING
AT THE PINNACLE OF THEIR
CAREERS AND NOW WE'RE SEEING
THEM REALLY STRUGGLING AND
FALLIBLE CHARACTERS AND THEY IN
THE PILOT EPISODE ARE LIVING IN
METROPOLIS AS A FOURSOME. THEY
HAVE TWO TEENAGE SONS. WE'RE
FRATERNAL TWINS AND THEY'RE
REALIZING THAT THE KIDS ARE
REALLY SUFFERING BECAUSE THE
TWO OF US HAVE BEEN
PRIORITIZING OUR CAREERS A
LITTLE MORE TO THE DETRIMENT
OF THE SONS. AND SO WE DECIDE
TO UPROOT THE FAMILY AND MOVE
THEM TO SMALLVILLE, KANSAS,
WHICH IS A HUGE CHANGE. BUT
YEAH, YOU'RE SEEING VERSIONS
OF THEM AS AS IMPERFECT AND WE
HOPE THAT PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED
AND THAT I KNOW I THINK THAT'S
WHAT MAKES IT SO RELATABLE FOR
SUPERMAN ARE AN ALIEN WITH
SUPERPOWERS YOU'RE TRYING TO
SIMULATE ON EARTH BUT ALSO
TRYING TO BE A COOL DAD IN THE
MIX RIGHT? YEAH. HE'S NOT DOING
A GREAT JOB. I THINK IT'S
PRETTY CLEAR RIGHT AWAY. BUT
YOU KNOW, TO ME THAT WAS THAT'S
WHAT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS
CHARACTER IN THIS WAY WHICH IS
YOU KNOW, AS SUPERMAN IT'S KIND
OF HARD FOR HIM TO MESS UP
ESPECIALLY AT THIS POINT IN THE
LIFE IN HIS LIFE THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. HE'S BEEN DOING
IT FOR A LONG TIME. HE CAN KIND
OF DO WITH HIS EYES CLOSED
REALLY BUT DEALING WITH KIDS
AND LIKE THOSE INTIMATE
RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
CAN'T YOU CAN'T KEEP VISION OR
FREEZE BREATH OR X-RAY VISION
YOUR WAY OUT OF THOSE
SITUATIONS SOMETIMES. SO YOU
KNOW, KNOWING HOW TO DEAL WITH
FAMILY DYNAMICS, THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY I
THINK CAN RELATE TO AND DEALING
WITH TEENAGERS AND ALL THEIR
EMOTIONS. OH YEAH. BUT I DO
WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN HERE IN
SAN DIEGO. I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE
TRAVELED THE ENTIRE WORLD BUT
DO YOU EVER COME BACK TO VISIT
US HERE? I DO SO SO MY FAMILY
IS EITHER EIGHTH OR NINTH
GENERATION SAN DIEGO NATIVES.
THE FAMILY NAME IS SET ON ALL
SET ON A MOJADO AND WE'VE BEEN
THERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND
SO ACTUALLY BOTH SIDES OF MY
FAMILY WE STILL HAVE A LOT
OF RELATIVES IN SAN DIEGO. I
WAS IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO MY
MOTHER THAT EVEN THOUGH WITH MY
SISTER WE WERE LIVING IN
GUATEMALA AND I WAS LIVING IN
SPAIN AT THE TIME I WAS BORN
THAT MY MOM FLEW TO SAN DIEGO
TO JUST PHYSICALLY HAVE ME BORN
AND I WAS ON AN AIRPLANE AT A
COUPLE WEEKS OLD BACK TO SPAIN
BUT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO
HER TO CONTINUE THE SAN DIEGO
GENERATIONAL LINE. SO THE
FAMILY GOES WAY BACK AND WE DO
WE DO GO BACK PRETTY OFTEN. I
STILL HAVE A LOT OF RELATIVES
THERE. THAT'S AWESOME. I'M GLAD
YOU WERE BORN. I MEAN YOUR MOM
WENT TO GREAT LENGTHS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WHAT'S HAPPENED BOTH
OF YOU ARE SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU.
I MEAN WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE
QUICK QUESTION, BOTH OF YOU. IF
YOU COULD HAVE A SUPERPOWER,
WHAT WOULD IT BE TELEPORTATION
FLIGHT FLIGHT. I WANT TO SEE IT
AS I GET THERE. I WANT TO SEE
THE JOURNEY LIKE TELEPORTATION.
YOU CAN TELL THE WHOLE THAT I
CAN ENJOY THE VIEW ONCE I'M
THERE ON ALL OF MY HAIR WOULD
BE A MESS WHEN I LANDED LIKE NO
I'LL TAKE TELEPORTATION. I LIKE
BOTH EYES FOREVER. THE
