On October 16, 2001, Smallville premiered on The WB (which later became The CW), following the coming-of-age adventures of a teen Clark Kent.

Today, The CW airs the series finale of Superman & Lois, the final DC show on the network, following an experienced Superman and his family.

As you may know, the death of Robin (Jason Todd) in 1988 was decided via a phone poll.

In 2014, Dennis O'Neil talked about a lawyer who voted 85 times by programming his Macintosh to dial the killing number every few minutes.

"Robin Dies" defeated "Robin Lives" by a slim margin of 72 votes.
A comic ad from 1988 featuring an angry Batman holding a severely injuried Jason Todd, also known as his teenage sidekick Robin. The ad reads "Robin will die because The Joker wants revenge, but you can prevent it with a telephone call". Bellow the text, there are two phone humbers. The first one is labeled as "The Joker fails and Robin lives", while the second one is "The Joker succeeds and Robin will not survive". A quote from comics writer and editor Dennis O'Neil. It reads: "It turns out, if what I heard is true, that a lawyer programmed his Macintosh to dial the killing number every few minutes. It was only eighty-five votes out of over ten thousand, and that may have made the difference. I have never been able to verify that story but it was a squeaker any way you look at it. And I'm lie, 'OK, this has been an interesting caper but it's over and I'm gonna go home and have my weekend.'" A picture of comics writer Jim Starlin, commenting on the poll to kill Robin that took place in 1988. The caption reads: "I didn't know there was that many Robin fans out there. Out of ten thousand votes, it was only... there was, like, seventy-two votes separating the 'Living' and 'Dying' thing. Took me by surprise on that front!"
