We’ve known for months that Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) would not survive his battle with Doomsday, but it’s still shocking to see Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) and their sons (Alex Garfin and Michael Bishop) find his body on Smallville’s Main Street with his heart ripped out.
The fourth and final season of Superman & Lois puts its own spin on the iconic Death of Superman comic baok arc.
But the two-hour final season premiere suggests there is still hope if Superman’s heart can be restored to his body, which is lying in Kryptonian suspended animation in a pool at the Fortress of Solitude,
This is how we save Dad — Jordan Kent.
The impetuous teen flies off on his own to get his Dad’s heart back from the brutish Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz) and is outwitted at every turn — outing himself as Superboy and his Dad Clark Kent as Superman.
With Sarah’s help, Jon Kent makes his own bid to retrieve his Dad’s heart, by breaking into Lex Luthor’s new Smallville digs across the street from The Smallville Gazette and Mary’s Diner.
Neither of the Kent Boys are successful.
Lex Luthor stomps on Clark’s heart as Jordan looks on in anguish.
Is this the end of Superman?
Much of the two-hour premiere was filmed on the Smallville set on the Cloverdale fairgrounds.

Season four of SUPERMAN & LOIS picks up right where last season left off: with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Luthor’s monster locked in a ferocious, moon-wrecking battle, as Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) fights for his life against the seemingly unstoppable creature. Back on the ground, General Lane (guest star Dylan Walsh) struggles to stay alive after being kidnapped by Luthor’s henchmen, while Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch), Jordan (Alex Garfin), and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) race against time to rescue him. But standing in their way is Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz) himself, who has permanently moved to Smallville as the next step in his malicious plan to destroy Lois Lane. Meanwhile, Lana Lang (guest star Emanuelle Chriqui) uses her position as Mayor to fight back against Luthor’s schemes, a move which puts her in the sights of the most dangerous man in the world and threatens everything she holds dear. This includes her relationship with John Henry Irons (guest star Wolé Parks), who must put his Ironworks plans on hold and rejoin the DOD, now that General Lane is missing. But they aren’t the only duo in trouble, as Chrissy Beppo (guest star Sofia Hasmik) and Kyle Cushing (guest star Eric Valdez) face an uphill battle of their own, with countless roadblocks that threaten to ruin their future together. Amid all the chaos, Sarah Cortez (guest star Inde Navarette) and Natalie Irons (guest star Tayler Buck) also join the fight against Luthor, while both facing impossible decisions about their paths in life. And as Clark’s battle with the terrifying monster continues, Lois, her boys, and the world must face an unthinkable possibility: what if Superman never returns?
