A new trailer has been released for Superman & Lois, and there's plenty to delve into here.
For staters, we learn more about Clark Kent and Lois Lane's life in Smallville, while their teenage sons also get quite a bit of attention. Lana Lang shows up, as does General Sam Lane, but it's a mysterious, armoured figure who really intrigues us. Could that be this show's take on Lex Luthor?
Superman & Lois' colour palette really jumps out at us, though, because it's impossible to watch this footage and not be reminded of Man of Steel (the costume even looks the same). Clearly, The CW wants to give this Superman TV show a big screen feel, and it looks vastly different to every other DC TV show on the network. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though!
Written by Todd Helbing and produced by Greg Berlanti, Superman & Lois is based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and revolves around the world’s most famous Super Hero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent, played by Tyler Hoechlin, and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane, played by Elizabeth Tulloch, as they deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.
The CW recently confirmed, via Deadline, that Superman & Lois will premiere on Tuesday, February 23, with a 90-minute premiere. That kicks off at 8pm ET/PT, and will be followed by a 30-minute special, Superman & Lois: Legacy of Hope, at 9.30pm ET/PT.
