I know that, but the older you cast an actor, the less time you mathematically have to use them in the role.

Why the 'rolling eyes' emoji?
What I said is the truth.
BTW, we can add Jon Cryer to my earlier list of 'older for younger' Arrowverse castings because, in-universe, Lex was 35 as of his 'death' in The Quest for Peace.
Why is that a parameter? When has Perry White ever participated in the action, except as an occasional hostage? The only thing that gets Perry's heart rate up is screaming at his employees. Great Caesar's ghost!
He would have been perfect as an older dorky Reeves Clark Kent as a dad.... Shoot, Nora would have been an okay Lois, too.
how long are you expecting the show to run?
The CW is not a cancel-prone network, so expecting a show like this to last at least 3 seasons isn't unreasonable.
Average life expectancy for a male in the USA is currently about 75 years. Assuming that tv-starring level actors, who are often relatively wealthy (compared the much of the general public, anyway) and have access to better medical care than the average person, have a higher than average life expectancy, I can’t see that this is really a major issue.
Rewatching season 1 and 2 (of Smallville) as an older adult, a while back... It was not actually a story about a closeted Superboy, the real story in play was about how Chloe kept getting beaver damned by Lana, who infuriatingly was not even trying.
Chloe did the hard work, she put the time in, she deserved princess Clark.
The Alien did not care.
...
The title is really Superman and Lois?
That sounds like a prequel to me.
Lois and this alien dude, she doesn't work with, or know as a person, meetcuting, while Clark schemes in the background about how to kill Superman and take the Kryptonian's woman.
(Othello?)

I wasn't thinking in terms of him going on missions. More like he can still handle himself in a fight if it comes his way. Might not be able to fight a alien but he can still take down a goon redshirt. Maybe he served in Vietnam back in his youth. The more I think about we are talking someone like Skinner on the X-Files.

He’s a newspaper editor. Why would he be anything like that?
On Smallville, Clark had to call him "Daddy White".
Add some new texture to this version while keeping him old fashioned so can still say things like, Great Ceaser's ghost. Jason
I've met some of them. They really don't.
Huh? I thought they specifically said that they had to stop doing Suicide Squad episodes because they were doing the movie now. Even when they did bring them back they seemed to make a point of not calling them The Suicide Squad. I know Deathstroke has been on Titans this season, but I thought they said after the Arrowverse version's last appearance that they couldn't use him anymore because he was going be in the Justice League movies.
I really doubt the show's liberalness has hurt it's ratings, more often then not liberal shows seems to be more popular than the more conservative shows, so if anything I would think the show's liberalness has helped it. I doubt many conservatives watch anyways, definitely not enough to have an impact on it's ratings if they stopped.
No; that was an assumption on the part of Willa Holland and ended up being disproven when it was revealed that it was actually Warner Bros. Studios who came to the Arrow producers and gave them rights access to the Suicide Squad characters.
It was also a similar situation with Deathstroke; Arrow's access to the character ended, and it was the assumption of Manu Bennett that the reason was due to the character's appearance in Justice League.
Damn, that means I'm too old!
