Spinning out of Supergirl, Superman & Lois is about Superman and Lois. There have been some changes since we last saw the characters. Pre-Crisis Lois and Clark had one child, which was a newborn baby boy. Now they have twins who are teenagers. Also they've recast Samuel Lane and Morgan Edge.

Main
Tyler Hoechlin as Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman: A superhero from Krypton who defends Earth and is Lois' husband.
Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane: A journalist at the Metropolis newspaper the Daily Planet and Clark's wife.
Jordan Elsass as Jonathan Kent: The modest and kind-hearted son of Clark and Lois.
Alexander Garfin as Jordan Kent: The intelligent son of Clark and Lois who has social anxiety and enjoys playing video games alone.
Inde Navarrette as Sarah Cushing: Kyle and Lana's "wild child" daughter who befriends the Kent boys.
Dylan Walsh as Samuel Lane: Lois' father, a no-nonsense, workaholic Army general who is determined to keep America and the world safe from all threats.
Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang: An old friend of Clark Kent and the loan officer at Smallville Bank.
Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing: Lana's husband and Smallville's fire chief who enjoys his life living in a small town and is wary of those from bigger cities.
Wolé Parks as The Stranger: "A mysterious visitor hellbent on proving to the world that it no longer needs Superman."
Adam Rayner as Morgan Edge: "An intelligent, eloquent and impassioned self-made mogul".
Recurring
Sofia Hasmik as Chrissy Beppo: A "go-getter" journalist at the Smallville Gazette who has a "chance encounter" that changes her life.
Stacey Farber as Leslie Larr: Someone who works with "the most influential people on the planet".
Joselyn Picard as Sophie Cushing: "Spirited and rebellious" younger daughter of Lana Lang and Kyle Cushing.
Angus Macfadyen as Jor-El: Clark Kent's Kryptonian father. Though he died along with Krypton, his brilliant essence still exists within the arctic Fortress of Solitude to provide guidance when his son seeks help.

This was a pretty expensive looking show, it'll definitely be interesting to see if they can keep it up or if next week we'll be right back to normal CW budget levels.

Someone called Captain Luthor's super suit look Master Chief but to me out looked more like the Doom Slayer.

It was kind of funny just how quickly Clark was able to make it there when Lois activated her signal device.


Tiggum posted:

Is this still set in the same world as Supergirl/Flash/etc.? If so, what would be so weird about a person with super powers working for a rich guy?

Merging the worlds was the dumbest idea they ever had.

I think CW realized that just by its nature a Superman show was going to attract more attention than the other Arrowverse shows so they're taking a light touch with referencing things. They don't want to scare someone away with the idea that this is a spinoff.

Also, are they trying to sell this show in international markets because they sure keep going back to China every time there's a big action scene.

I think the idea is that Morgan Edge is running around digging up that mineral which gives people powers and that she was one of his test subjects.

If Jonathan was in line to be the starting QB on his high school team at 14 either he's a king poo poo QB who should be starting for Smallville, or his old high school team suuuuuucked.

They did say him doing that was a big deal in the first episode.

As someone who dislikes highschool football drama I don't think it is so bad on this. The actual game stuff is incidental to character moments with Jordan and Jon.

So, uh, "Edge" is being metaphorical when he says Clark is his brother, right?

He definitely isn't literally Clark's brother seeing as he had a different house crest on his shirt.

I guess in the spirit of bringing back Renee for Batwoman, Jenna Dewan will be showing up as Lois' sister, Lucy Lane in season 2. She originally showed up way back in s1 of Supergirl.

TwoPair posted:

That's what I thought at first but going back and looking at it again the hand looks more robotic kind of? I mean, I guess that could just be the approach they'll take with their Doomsday though...

When Doomsday originally showed up in the comics he was wearing a restrictive suit so it could be something like that.

Also I know they want to keep things loosey goosey with continuity between Supergirl and S&L but the Supergirl finale kind of had Kara blowing up Clark's spot a little by her going public.

Starting in April DC is doing an Arrowverse crossover through comic books. Six issues over 3 months with the story being in show continuity. The Superman & Lois issue is going to delve further into what happened with the alternate Superman that let him go bad.

Did I miss something about this stupid loving cult subplot? How is a video of Lois' sister saying some crazy person bullshit about how Lois stopped her from "crossing over" by taking pills supposed to make Lois look bad?

I think the idea is the actual content doesn't matter as much as Lois confirming that she edited Lucy's side of the interview to make it seem like she was against the cult when she wasn't.

But yeah, the "Inverse" stuff definitely seems like it is going to tie into the Bizarro plot.

My wife was complaining that Jordan needed a costume to hide his identity if he's doing full time superheroics. I started describing the 90s Superboy outfit with the leather jacket.

I don't know what magic happened, but Jon showing up in a modern version of that outfit at the end was amazing.

Behind the scenes shots show that he's wearing a Superman shirt under the jacket.
