Apt- ly titled "Waiting for Super- man," fans are hoping the fi- nale will answer a few ques- tions and give a few hints for what's next in store for the Man of Steel and his family. Already renewed for a third season by its CBS-owned home network, "Superman & Lois" follows the titular couple, played by Tyler Hoechlin ("Teen Wolf") and Elizabeth "Bitsie" Tulloch ("Grimm"), as they move back to Clark Kent's, aka Superman, hometown of Smallville, Kansas, to continue raising their family. When Clark loses his job and his mother on the same day, the Kents take over the farmhouse where Clark grew up, hoping it will be the perfect place for their sons to grow up, too. While Clark and Lois first keep their secret from their sons, Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, "Little Fires Everywhere") and Jordan (Alex Garfin, "The Pea- nuts Movie," 2015), it becomes clear that Jonathan is develop- ing powers of his own. As a re- sult, it isn't long before Clark must tell his own children that he is Superman and train them to be prepared for their own futures has half-alien humans. Season 1 proved an im- mense success — which should come as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with the current slate of superhero TV shows, the 2001-2017 se- ries "Smallville," led by Tom Welling ("Lucifer") or, indeed, the '90s TV sensation "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," starring Dean Cain ("Masters of Illusion") and Teri Hatcher ("Desperate Housewives") — and through threats both human and other- worldly, the Kent/Lanes always managed to come out on top. Now, in Season 2, relation- ships evolve on all fronts as Lois runs the Smallville Gazette alongside Editor-in-Chief Chrissy Beppo (Sofia Hasmik, "All the Bright Places," 2020), secrets threaten Jordan and Sarah's (Inde Navarrette, "13 Reasons Why") blossoming re- lationship, and Jonathan grap- ples with inconsistent powers as he plays for his high school football team. To make matters worse, Clark and Lois are going through some troubles of their own. Other troubles plaguing the Kent/Lanes and the citizens of Smallville range from Ally Allston (Rya Kihlstedt, "A Teacher"), whom Superman followed through a portal, and the Inverse Society to which she has connection. (Lois vowed to look further into their dealings as a part of an investi- gative piece with Chrissy for the paper.) But without a doubt the most concerning issue across this season has been Clark's vi- sions. Beginning in the Season 2 premiere, Clark started seeing frightening flashes signaling an unspecified event, presum- ably in the future (or Earth- Prime's future, anyway). And while his visions, confirmed to be connected to an onslaught of recent earthquakes, were first thought to indicate the ar- rival of the supervillain Dooms- day, this season's third episode revealed another threat entire- ly: Bizarro. Since then, Superman has been fighting Bizarro (also played by Hoechlin) while en- countering doppelgängers as well as alternate timelines and universes — all in a way only CW's Arrowverse can. As of writing, there has been no sign of the previously ex- pected Doomsday, though just because he hasn't shown up yet, it doesn't mean he never will. Thanks to a comment made early on this season by "Super- man & Lois" showrunner Todd Helbing ("The Flash"), many fans are still expecting an ap- pearance from the deadly pre- historic Kryptonion. While some speculate that he may be brought forth by Bizarro him- self, others foresee an alliance between Bizarro and Super- man should the villain appear this season (or next) in Small- ville. "There's so much lore [and] mythology in the Superman universe that we feel it's our obligation to tell a unique sto- ry," Helbing said of the show's process. "We take inspirations from the comics as much as possible, and then we try to twist it. We did the same thing here."
