Across its seasons, the series incorporates deliberate race-swapping of core characters like Lois Lane (portrayed as Asian) and Jimmy Olsen (portrayed as Black), alongside LGBTQ subplots such as a homosexual relationship between Monsieur Mallah and The Brain and a lesbian couple involving Livewire, all framed around acceptance, inclusion, and diversity themes. Creators have emphasized casting choices to reflect a modern diverse world rather than traditional source material, with additional elements like gender-swapped antagonists, dating apps, and political parallels in Krypton's history injecting progressive framing into subplots. These choices elevate identity-focused messaging without fully overtaking the narrative, resulting in an overall woke score of 6/10 due to the consistent ideological influence on character presentation and select storylines.
