Superman and Lois Season 3 Finale Recap
6/27/2023 6:00 pm
Well this is a perfect kind of "Super" day. Deadline reports that James Gunn has cast David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan as Superman and Lois for the DCEU and if that wasn't enough, we get a season finale (not series finale) with our Superman and Lois, Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch! That is a perfect Summer day for us! David and Rachel will have huge shoes to fill as Tyler and Elizabeth have been called the best live action versions of Superman and Lois to date and we agree! While still excited about the casting news, we are also so excited to see Lex Luthor make his revenge move against Superman! Here's what stood out to us:
- 32 Days: We are about a month ahead in time. Luthor hasn't been seen and Superman can't find Luthor. Jordan is still grounded from being a hero. Kyle and Chrissy are still together and we find out that Chrissy is pregnant with Kyle's baby. Kyle is happy about it and this makes Chrissy very pleased! John Irons asks out Lana and she agrees.
- Italy: Lois and Clark announce they are going to Italy for a family vacation. They will talk about it over dinner at the diner. Kyle tells Lana about the baby. Lana takes the news well. The DOD wants more tech from the Irons family. This means they would have to move to Metropolis and Natalie would go to school with her boyfriend Mateo. Jon helps set up for the meteor showers festiival. Lois and Clark learn about Chrissy's baby. Just then, Clark learns of a murder that Luthor seems to be behind.
- Luthor's Plan: Luthor seems to be going after everyone that sentenced him. The judge was murdered. Sam Lane reveals he has a girlfriend. John Irons and Lana go out on their date sharing drinks. Lana learns that John will likely be moving to Metropolis. At the family dinner, Clark and Lois lift some of the restrictions on Jordan using his powers. Turns out Sam's girlfriend was a plant by Luthor and she tases him and Otis, now missing an ear, loads him up into a van.
- Heartbroken Jordan: Clark takes a moment to talk with Jordan about how he is treating Sarah. Clark gives Jordan the money to pay Sarah. He uses the opportunity to try and heal. John Henry's date goes well and even though he is going to Metropolis Lana remains interested. Clark discovers that Luthor might have Sam and goes looking for him. Luthor has Bizarro trapped in Mannheim's lair. He's feeding him whole cows. With Sam Lane kidnapped the only person protecting Lois is Superman and Luthor has a plan to kill him.
- 33 Days Ago: We get a flashback where we see what happened with Bizarro. Luthor brought a yellow sun energy gun to stop him. Bizarro has the ability to bring himself back from the dead after what Mannheim did to him. Every time he dies, he comes back stronger. Luthor puts together a plan to kill Bizarro time after time to make him stronger than even Superman. Having mutating every time he dies, Luthor is turning Bizarro into something that looks like Doomsday! At the meteor show festival, Kyle steals the mic to ask Chrissy to marry him. Clark hovers above Earth listening for Sam. He hears Luthor approach the Kent farm. Luthor calls in his creation, a Doomsday monster capable of killing Superman!
In the final wrap up moments, Doomsday is set loose in Smallville. Clark warns off everyone that might try and help him. He knows this thing is too strong. The battle takes the pair all the way to Metropolis. Superman is able to freeze Doomsday and impale him on a skyscraper. This doesn't kill Doomsday and he comes back with a vengeance. In the streets of Metropolis, Doomsday lifts Superman into the sky. Clark isn't breathing but he is able to come back to his senses and break free from Doomsday, their fight continues on the moon! No new preview this time as that is a wrap on season 3!

Injustice Recap
6/20/2023 6:00 pm
Before we recap "Injustice" let's talk about the injustice we narrowly missed, and that of course is that Superman and Lois will return for a fourth season at The CW. That return is somewhat diminished though. Only ten episodes were ordered and half the cast has lost their full-time status. That includes The Langs and the Irons families and Chrissy along with Kyle. The opportunity for these characters to return as guest stars certainly remains and we believe most will do so at least to wrap up storylines for their characters. With Lex Luthor set to appear tonight and a series regular for season 4, it kind of feels like we are starting a new season tonight! Here's what stood out to us:
- Healing Lois: It takes time for Lois to heal from her operation. Lois heeds Pia's message about Lex Luthor who is now being set free. We catch up with Lex at the prison who is notified he is being set free. More teens at the high school are thinking there might be a powered teen. Turns out Lois' old partner has the story and is investigating. We get a flashback of when Luthor was taken to jail, Lois was there waiting and watching. In current day, we see a now bald Lex drop a wedding ring and take a picture of a young girl with him. He mentions Otis being at the drop off point at the right time as he walks free.
- Fire House Changes: Kyle is treating Jon differently and nicer now that he knows who Jon's father really is. Kyle dismisses the firefighter that wanted him to go get the mistaken sandwich. Sam, Lois and Clark meet to discuss Jordan. They agree Jordan needs to stop saving people immediately. Lana arrives to tell them that Jordan is bragging about the hero. In a flashback we see Lex in prison and how he ran things. At first he got his butt beat but it seems that Luthor has something up his sleeve. Lois and Clark call out Jordan for bragging about being a hero. They take his suit away.
- Smallville Samaritan: The Daily Planet publishes the story on Jordan. There could be a new hero in Smallville. Clark goes to ask Kyle to treat Jon like he did before Kyle knew who Clark was. Sarah leaves to start her shift at the diner. In another flashback, we see Luthor meet with the warden. Lex has a team at the warden's house and his threat is taken very seriously. Lex is going to run the prison and not through bribes but force.
- Luthor Released: Lex is returning to Luthor Corp and the press gather to cover his return. In another flashback, we see how Lex used the guards to beat his enemies from the first encounter. Jon speaks to Kyle. Kyle asks that Jon come to him rather than go through his dad. Jordan goes to talk to Sarah and she is right to call him out on his garbage attitude. Just then a tornado appears and Superman and Jordan seem to rush to the situation. Sam gets caught up in the tornado too and hides under an overpass. Superman starts to work the situation. Jordan also arrives and sees his suit in Sam's car. Jordan and Clark are able to freeze the tornado to stop it but Jordan reveals himself and takes photos with bystanders.
- Jordan Exposed: Jordan is exposed to the world. Everyone knows there is a new hero now. Jordan wanted to be exposed and was tired of hiding it. He says "whatever" to Clark and gets physical. Clark immediately shuts him down and sends him to his room. Jon and Jordan connect in their room. Turns out Lex was never heading to Luthor Corp, he walked straight to the Kent farm to face Lois for her article that put him away.
In the final wrap up moments, Lex joins Lois and Clark on the porch. Lex wants an apology from Lois. Lex had a daughter. She was 14 when he went away and now she won't talk to him. Lex demands that Lois stop writing all together as an apology to him. Otis then arrives to pick up Lex from the farm. Lex leaves noting that Superman will be his next target. In a flashback we see how Lex manipulated the entire prison to his will. Lex is told that Bizarro is alive in the basement and he wants to see him for himself. Down in the basement at Bruno's we see a Bizarro Superman feeding on rats to survive. He attacks Otis and we are left with just a flashlight. Check out the preview for the season three finale below:

Complications Recap
6/6/2023 6:00 pm
Well this is a bit frustrating, we still have no word on if Superman and Lois will get another season. If it moves to Max, we are totally fine with that, we just want more Superman and Lois. One indication might come from the season 3 episode 13 synopsis which is yet to come out. For example, when Stargirl ended, the last synopsis that came out included the "Series Finale" mark. Will we get that for Superman and Lois coming this Thursday? It's hard to imagine this show coming to an end when it ends with a cliffhanger of sorts and Lex Luthor is finally set free! So much potential! Any way, let's focus up on "Complications", here's what stood out to us:
- Sneak Attacks: Pia's powers have been amplified with the cure and she is using them to keep Superman from finding them. Lois and Clark prepare for Lois' procedure. The Mannheims prepare to leave the country and it looks like Pia might be sick. Kyle learns of Clark's secret and he is excited about it. Kyle doesn't like that Chrissy lied to him about keeping Clark's secret. The Langs, Irons and Kents meet for a final meal for Lois before surgery.

Jordan has a panic attack when Lois begins her surgery, it turns out that it's actually his x-ray vision coming in. Jon is able to help Jordan calm down. As the Mannheims prepare to leave, Pia's powers go on the fritz and shut power down in the city.
- Power Outage: The power is going wild in the city. Pia's powers are out of control and Bruno's cure doesn't seem to have worked. Lois figures this out. Lana goes to Kyle and is scared about Sarah. She thinks she might be so depressed she might try and take her own life. The parents rush to action. Clark worries the power might go out but Lois says she's ready for the surgery right now. Pia's powers are too out of control, the cure revved her up too much and she killed someone by accident. She runs for Bruno and Mateo to hide.
- The DOD: Clark leaves to go help the DOD now that Lois is in surgery. Mateo finds the cube Natalie left for Mateo and the two get a moment to speak. Before they can talk, Bruno and his thugs run into the room. Kyle and Lana take Sarah to the diner to talk about how she is feeling and her sadness. The Irons family arrive and offer to help Pia. Pia is going to bring the city down if she isn't stopped but Superman finally gets a reading on where she is.
- Pia and Superman: Superman offers to help Pia but she says no one can help her anymore. With Pia going haywire, Lois' surgery is taking a risk. Superman continues to try and help Pia. Superman makes his way to her and finally they work together to stop her pain. Superman flies her high into the sky after Pia whispers something to Superman. Her powers give out and she dies. Superman brings her body to Bruno and Mateo. Superman reveals that she whispered, "She'll love Bruno and Mateo forever and always".

Welcome back Superman and Lois fans! Another week has gone by and still no news of a possible renewal or move to Max (Previously HBO Max). With the continued delay of not yet seeing Lex Luthor this late in the season, and with the knowledge that the season ends with a cliffhanger, we are thinking that season 4 was going to be set up to have Lex as the main villain!

The Dress Recap
5/23/2023 6:00 pm
It's on all of our minds while we watch this all new episode of Superman and Lois. Will there be a fourth season? Final word on that hasn't been given but The CW's president of the entertainment division, Brad Schwartz, has said that the show doesn't make any money for the network. He further claims that the show isn't able to grow its audience because previous seasons can only be viewed on Max (previously HBO Max). Its because of this that many are speculating that The CW will save the much cheaper to make Gotham Knights, but Max will acquire Superman and Lois for a fourth season. It is known that this season ends on a bit of a cliff hanger so a fourth season is certainly wanted by the fans! But for now, on to 'The Dress':
- Seventeen Years Ago: We join Clark and Lois back when they were planning their wedding. Lois then finds out she is in the running for an award! She needs to find a gala worthy dress to wear. Back in modern times, Lois has positive news about her cancer. Lana and John Henry discuss the Mannheim situation. They seem to be getting closer. John Henry is summoned to the DOD to talk with Mannheim. He wants to see Pia but John Henry is keeping her from him.
- The Dress: As Lois cleans out her closet she finds the dress Clark got her for the awards ceremony. We see a flashback to when Clark sold his baseball cards to get Lois this dress. Jon, Jordan, Sarah and Natalie meet at the diner to talk about Mateo. Jon steps on Natalie's feelings. At the farm, Lois is giving away the dress that Clark bought for her. It clearly seems to have hurt him. Mateo confronts his dad about the crimes that surround him. His dad has no answers but it looks like Mannheim has dispatched a team to Smallville to confront John Henry.
- Mannheim's Goons: John Henry fights off four of Mannheim's goons and sends Natalie to hide at Sarah's house. Clark takes the clothes to Lana and she notes how sad he is. Turns out Lois will lose her breasts after the treatments. Lana offers to speak with Lois about it. Jon speaks with Natalie and they plot a plan to get Natalie to see Mateo. Lana and Lois speak about the body changes she will go through. Superman goes to appeal to Mannheim. Just as Mannheim starts to agree with Superman, John Henry and the DOD break in. Superman is upset they forced their way in.
- The Mannheim Raid: Once Sam realizes that John Henry played him to get the raid he is sent home. Lois reveals that it isn't certain if she can have breast reconstructive surgery. We get more flashbacks to when Lois and Clark go to the gala. Lois shares that she'll feel less of a woman when the surgery happens. Natalie and Mateo meet between Smallville and Metropolis. Mateo never knew his mom had powers. Natalie and Mateo make up, and Sarah forces the Kent boys to hug it out. John Henry gets a visit from one of Mannheim's powered-up goons.
- Superfight: John Henry doesn't have time to get his suit on and gets hit big. Clark and Lois talk about the dress. Clark leaves to help John Henry. Superman has an epic fight in downtown Smallville. John gets his hammer just in time. The hammer was used again and killed the powered-up goon. Superman arrives, clearly disappointed that John Henry has killed a man.
In the final wrap up moments, The DOD arrive to help clean up the damage. Natalie arrives and notes that her father is not acting like himself. Mateo now knowing the truth about his dad confronts him. However, Mannheim shows his son what he's been working on. Mannheim has a cure and it comes from Bizarro Superman! Clark returns to Lois and he reassures her that nothing can change his feelings about her. They share a flight dressed up as they were the night of the gala.
