The CW has ordered
Superman & Lois straight to series, and expectations are high on the latest Arrowverse TV show to deliver as the Man of Steel finally makes his small screen return.
Now, thanks to
Primetimer, we have even more details about what's to come in the pilot episode and, as previously reported, Clark Kent will have been laid off from The Daily Planet when we catch up with him here. Things only get worse for the hero when he hears his mother calling out for him from Smallville, and when he gets home, she's dead from unspecified causes at Kent Farm.
Jonathan Kent is already dead when
Superman & Lois begins, but it seems like Martha's demise could be tied to a greater mystery
and the unknown villain who reportedly debuts in this episode.
It's also said that The CW series will feature the return of
Supergirl villain Morgan Edge. This time, he will be portrayed as the owner of The Daily Planet, and he's reportedly responsible for Clark losing his job and cares very little about real journalism and facts. Whether this is the version of Edge played by Adrian Pasdar is unclear, but he may have been reimagined after
Crisis on Infinite Earths.
We probably won't get a first look at
Superman & Lois until Comic-Con, but set photos are a possibility, and we've already seen a leaked shot of
Tyler Hoechlin in a brand new costume.
