Fans are now aware of what to expect from the premiere of DC’s Superman & Lois—a synopsis for the first episode has been released. The upcoming series will premiere on February 23, 2021, on The CW, and will be the new addition to the Arrowverse. Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch are reprising their roles as the titular characters from previous episodes of the Arrowverse crossovers and now they will possibly encounter their first villain together.
Superman & Lois will take a look at a different part of the Man of Steel’s life. The central focus will be on the difficulties Clark and Lois face while raising their teenage sons in Smallville. As the official trailer has revealed, Jordan and Jonathan Kent did not know about their father’s alter ego before moving to the farm. Whether they will inherit their father’s Kryptonian powers is a potential storyline in the show.
The official description had mentioned even though the Kent family had moved from Metropolis to leave their super-heroic lives behind, it is never far behind. The CW has name-dropped the first potential villain of the series. Check it out below:
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.
Superman and Lois- Pilot Synopsis
Morgan Edge is found in several issues of DC Comics. Post “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, he was a supporting character, a sympathetic businessman who bought The Daily Planet and hired Clark Kent as a journalist. After “Crisis”, he became a supervillain and one of Superman’s biggest antagonists. It is possible that Superman & Lois is aiming for the supervillain incarnation of Edge.
Edge might also become the constantly recurring anti-hero of Hoechlin’s Superman, much like Malcolm Merlyn was for Oliver Queen in Arrow, and Eobard Thawne is for Barry Allen in The Flash. Both Merlyn and Thawne were introduced in the first seasons of their shows and served as the big bad. They became cult characters and returned various times in later seasons. Of course, the recurrence depends on Rayner’s portrayal of the character.
