After a relatively lengthy hiatus, DC TV's most acclaimed CW series Superman & Lois is finally back, and based on last week's premiere, it sounds like things are about to spin seriously out of control as the closing moments seemingly teased the impending arrival of one of Superman's most formidable foes: Doomsday.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Todd Helbing confirmed while teasing, "That is our homage to a classic Doomsday cover. Then in episode 2, you're going to see him a little bit more. In episode 3, you'll get the full reveal."
Meanwhile, both DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman returned with big installments of their own, and this week's new chapters are shaping up to quite eventful with the former seeing the Legends trapped in a reality show while the latter will finally introduce the original Poison Ivy (Bridget Regan).
Then, on the CW's newest DC TV series Naomi, get ready to dig deeper into the mystery surrounding unexplained occurrences in Port Oswego. Plus, get ready for even more awesomeness from this week's episode of Peacemaker!
