Superman & Lois
We all begin as one version of ourself, but as we grow life changes us. Every moment shaping our character, shifting our priorities, stretching every fibre of our being until we think we’ve lost ourselves to the stress of it all. But that’s not true. Under the torn fibres is a strong person, forged like steel with the courage to fight for those we love. What was lost can be found in family.
Meet the Kent fanily in the new Superman & Lois trailer.

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) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch), 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) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin) 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), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez). 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).
Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh) 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 a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks) enters their lives.

What’s new for Superman & Lois?:
A new Super suit.
There’s going to be a really badass Superman suit in this show that we’re pretty excited about….[The original] suit wasn’t built to sustain a series…we have a fresh slate. — Todd Helbing at DC FanDome.
And a return to Smallville.
This family needs Smallville as much as the world needs Superman. — Clark Kent.
