Apple TV+ Being Rebranded as Apple TV

Buried in its announcement about "F1: The Movie" making its streaming debut on December 12, Apple has also announced that Apple TV+ is being rebranded as simply Apple TV. A single line near the end of the press release states "Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV, with a vibrant new identity,"...

In the Supergirl TV series, James Olsen was in a relationship with Lucy Lane, Superman's girlfriend's sister. Then he wants to get in a relationship with Supergirl, Superman's cousin. They he ends up for a time with Lena Luthor, Superman's arch-nemesis's sister.

Which, when I think of it...also, points for his sister getting together with Supergirl's sister.
