PREVIEW: SUPERMAN & LOIS Season Finale Directed By Tom Cavanagh
Who are the Last Sons of Krypton? That’s the title of the Superman & Lois season finale on August 17th directed by Tom Cavanagh
Last Sons of Krypton suggests a showdown between our Superman Kal-El (Tyler Hoechlin)and his half-brother Tar-Rho aka Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner), but this series has been subverting our expectations all season long.
On the last episode, Tar-Rho flew into the sun after absorbing all the Kryptonians in the Eradicator.
Season finale slate.
In Vancouver, fans are ahead. Superman and Steel (Wole Park)’s next battle with Leslie Larr (Stacey Farber) was filmed in June in Vancouver’s George Wainborn Park.

Tyler Hoechlin met with a young fan.
The Flash’s Tom Cavanagh directed the season finale.
At the Kent Farm set in Ladner.
And at the Smallville set in Cloverdale, among other locations.
Tom Cavanagh told EW that Superman & Lois asked him to direct their finale because he’d directed the 100th episode of The Flash and understood the “pomp and circumstance of these types of episodes”.
I love the fact that [Superman is] a Warner Bros. property that’s getting yet another go-around. I love the fact that they’re getting to the emotional and familial heart of it. I’m just really looking forward to directing their finale….. I’m just so grateful for the invitation. — Tom Cavanagh to EW.
Tom Cavanagh was comfortable with directing a show that is visually distinct from The Flash.
I think the richness of the emotion [Superman & Lois is] trying to bring is mirrored by their cinematic style. I think it looks ridiculously great. I remember the [shot of] the amber waves of grain and the sun setting with the iconic Kent mailbox in front of the Smallville farmhouse, it says so much! If you’re a fan of the comic, that shot is pulled out from the best artwork that Superman has offered over the years and they’re doing it on camera. It’s really wonderful. — Tom Cavanagh to EW.
Superman & Lois’s season finale airs Tuesday, August 17th, at 9 p.m. on The CW.
