New Details Emerge Surrounding the CW’s “Superman & Lois”
New details have emerged surrounding the CW’s new series, Superman & Lois. Based on the characters first introduced in the CW’s current show, Supergirl, the series will star Tyler Hoechlin (Superman) and Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane).
According to Primetimer, there will be a major death in the first episode that helps jump start Clark’s journey in the first season. The first season will also feature the return of a pretty notable Superman character who will drop some news on Clark that could change his life forever.
The full script reveal features a couple major spoilers, so we have listed the description under the jump. You have been warned. The new season, will hopefully, premiere this coming Fall.
“We open on a fast-paced flashback of events narrated by CLARK KENT himself, recounting the moment his pod crashed on Earth before JONATHAN & MARTHA KENT’s very eyes, to the day his adopted father died when he was only sixteen. Then we leave Smallville for Metropolis where Clark is now the SUPERMAN the whole world admires and the handsome man LOIS LANE is madly falling in love with. As time goes on, they move in together, they marry, and Lois gives birth to twins: JONATHAN, the always happy, easy baby, and JORDAN, the crying and tormented one. As they get older, there’s a stark physical difference between the two twins: at thirteen, Jonathan is stronger than the other boys and a star athlete, while Jordan is darker, diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, and always on his computer. The real identity of their father is unknown to them, but could it be that Jonathan got his powers and Jordan didn’t?
In present day, we’re thrown into chaos inside a nuclear power plant where a Fukushima-sized disaster has just begun. GENERAL SAMUEL LANE can only think of one solution: calling his son in law Superman to stop the disaster. That’s exactly what Superman does, by freezing an adjacent lake, creating a massive iceberg that in turn cools down the heat in the reactor vessel. After saving the world again, he goes back to his family to kiss his boys goodnight. The next day, Clark gets fired from his long time job at the Daily Planet, which is downsizing now that the journal is part of a media conglomerate owned by billionaire MORGAN EDGE who doesn’t care about real journalism or even facts. But Clark doesn’t have much time to think about that before he hears a cry for help from his mother, asking him to “come home”. When he arrives back at the farm, it’s too late. She’s dead.
A few days later at the funeral, he sees LANA LANG. She still lives in Smallvile, where she’s a banker, married to KYLE CUSHING, a firefighter. Together they had two daughters: SARAH, who’s fourteen and just as dark as Jordan, and SOPHIE, who’s eight. Lana has something to tell Clark, something that’ll make him rethink his whole life…”
