The CW has also updated the information/description for “Superman & Lois”.
After years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin, “Teen Wolf”) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, “Grimm”), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever – dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, “Little Fires Everywhere”) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin, “The Peanuts Movie”) could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older. Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui, “Entourage”), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, “Graceland”).
The adults aren’t the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette, “Wander Darkly”). Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, “Nip/Tuck”) looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois’ return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when both a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, “All American”) and impassioned self-made mogul Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner, “Tyrant”) enter their lives. (#101). Story by Greg Berlanti & Todd Helbing, teleplay by Todd Helbing and directed by Lee Toland Krieger.
The 90-minute Pilot will air on Tuesday, February 23 from 8:00pm/7:00pmC, with a documentary special titled “Superman & Lois: Legacy of Hope” starting at 9:30pm/8:30pmC.
Really liking what I’m seeing in this trailer. 😀
Hopefully they will have a good explanation for this in the show, but I don’t see how Clark’s kids could be teenagers and NOT know their dad is Superman. That just seems strange.
Maybe they will only seen him at a distance as Superman at first and that he never let them in on his secret until now. I mean in past interpretations, it took a while before Lois looked beyond the glasses to see that Clark and Superman are the one in the same. Maybe it will be a similar thing with his kids where he’s kept his double identity well hidden from them up until now. That’s just my guess. Can’t wait to see it. 🙂
The kids not knowing he’s Superman is really not that far fetched. Most working adults really spend more time at work then home really. He spends 8 hours a day with his co-workers and they don’t know. And depending on which Superman Era were talking about, he told Lois, she didn’t figure it out either. Depending on how they depict Clark as a father, it probably gets Ha Ha joked about that he is Superman. Lots of kids look at there fathers as larger then life, and then grow up and see them as just great Dad’s…not Superman.
Exactly. He would’ve been saving the world or working at the Daily Planet before they would have a chance to figure out that he’s Superman. Lois was working right next to him, and she didn’t find out for a long time. Like how she figured it out that Clark was the Blur in Smallville. Although I’m not sure if that one counts since he wasn’t technically Superman yet. Although I guess the argument could go both ways for that one, since he did wear the Superman symbol for seasons 9 and 10. I’m pretty sure that in Grant Morrison’s Superman… Read more »
In Lois and Clark the only way she even found out was because she kissed Clark because they started dating, and kissed Superman as he was breathing life into her after freezing her to save his parents. Hard to have a secret identity kiss.
Ah, I see. It’s been a while since I had seen that episode and I wasn’t sure. Thanks. I do wonder if they will give a little back story on how Lois found out that Clark and Superman are one and the same guy for the new series. Maybe flash backs like they did on Arrow.
The kids not knowing their dad is Superman at this age isn’t *too* far-fetched, it falls nicely into that spot where you need to employ some suspension of disbelief, but not a whole lot. I mean, assuming this Superman doesn’t do anything as remarkably stupid as posing for photo-ops during ceremonies and if he’s careful with his face (or at least employs the Byrne “muscle vibrating” trick), it’s easy to mislead a couple of kids when you’re an investigative reporter that often has to travel to get scoops. Especially when the very non-super-powered mom often does the same for her… Read more »
