SUPERMAN AND LOIS To Finish Up After Fourth Season, Signalling The End Of An Era

I'll copy paste what I said somewhere else, warning it's kinda long.

One of the few times I can dare myself to say that it was written on the wall. Especially after last week it was reported that even writers that worked on the show were being let go. But honestly this show, like with a multitude of other projects, can and could still exist under their DC Elseworlds label as "Elseworlds tales", that's the point for it and how DC live-action has always sustained itself since forever.

Setting my own pesonal feelings aside of how they backstabbed the fandom by making everyone believe for 2 years it was connected to the main verse that helped them get the show, I feel bad for the reminder of the cast. Especially Alex Garfin and Michael Bishop who was the newcomer as Jon. They were always good as well as the rest of actors that were "let go".

So what was the point in negotiating till the last second months ago to keep the show on by slashing the budget so much that they would let go of half of the entire cast and even the writers (8 down to just 5) if they were gonna do this with the one and only remaining superhero series that actually gives them this little and forgettable pivotal thing that is necessary for TV shows called ratings? Because it's not like all the half-hour acquired Canadian/UK comedies and realities + golf is actually making the network "profitable" as they claimed they would. The new CW President (pfft) said now the show was like "sensitive profitable" for them to keep producing so wtf as all that about?

So either these dipshits of Nexstar lied (it's their MO as greedy suits so not surprised) or Superman & Lois is likely one of the casualties of the SAG-AFTRA ongoing strikes and proof that the warning (which was more like a thread) the studios CEOs gave them last week of how some shows having to end if they didn't reach a deal soon was very serious. Because if so then damn, that's another reason to say "[frick] you" to Zaslav and his WBD regime which is totally fine by me.

Godspeed to everyone and hopefully they use well their slashed budget creatively and sensitively. Bitsie Tulloch and Tyler Hoechlin have been killing it as Lois and Clark the last 5/6 years (and the latter since 2016) and they're gonna be very but very hard to top when it comes to playing the parenthood phase of these characters. Matching their chemistry won't be easy at all. They made their mark and it's a very damn good one.

Up up and away!

You had an "inking"?? An INKLING*

I've seen the first episode, which I thought was quite good. Is it worth continuing on with?

I was originally hoping for 5 seasons in total, but ill take 4

better for them to get a heads up with time to write a proper end, than to have to jerry rig an ending during production like Black lightning obviously had to do or worst end on a cliffhanger like legends of tomorrow or run out its welcome like flash and supergirl

the only live action superman to give christopher reeve a run for his money

Sigh….

Given all the cuts this season , this was an inevitability but still sad to see it go regardless.

This show is so close to my heart and revitalized my love for the character and his work so for I give them a big thanks!!.

It’s gonna be a bit until I can deal with next season being the last but I’m glad they atleast get to end it knowing it’s the final one and not having the show run it’s course like some others imo.

I wish we got it for longer and that it wasn’t being cut short but as the saying goes…



It is what iit is so much love to the entire cast & crew of Superman & Lois for giving us such a good show , here’s to a well done & satisfying end!!.

Bummer. Loved this interpretation. I hope these actors are able to reprise their roles at some point. Tyler Hoechlin is one of the best Superman portrayals in all of history of the property. Looking forward to season 4.

Best Superman show ever. Theyre so dumb for neglecting it.

Honestly, this show ended for me after season 2. That seemed like a good finale. And i tried to like the new Jonathan but i just cant vibe with him, because to me this show WAS about the boys future and their chemistry navigating being the children of Superman, and without OG Jon its just not the same show for me. They tried, and i had no idea he was that important to the flow of the show, but he was.

I couldnt get through season 3, and likely wont tune in for this. I didnt even come back for the Flash finale, and if bringing Amell back didnt get me to come back, i think my days with the CW verse is already dead.

Who am i kidding, to me this universe ended when Arrow ended with Crisis.

Four seasons is the sweet spot for an amount of seasons imo, so I don't mind it at all. Doesn't drag on too much, opportunity to go out on a high note, and even know it is gonna be your last. Good ending to a solid universe
