Superman & Lois: Facts Con Special Adventure

Tyler Hoechlin was invited to FACTS 2023 in Ghent, Belgium. Since we were going to meet him, we wanted to give him a gift because Superman & Lois is one of our favorite shows, and both Tyler and Bitsie do an amazing job. So, after much thought, we realized that Tyler still didn't have his own comic of him as Superman and we decided that he should have one, even if it was a short short story. In this way we hired the cartoonist Daniel Mainé (Dynamite) and the colorist Manoli Martínez (Scout Comics, Action Labs...) to carry out this story that we hope you like.

Superman & Lois Season 3 Review

Another season is over, let's take stock of how the show did in comparison to S2.

Well for starters their poster game dramatically improved, the pic above is the first one that I would describe as cool. The writers seemed to have taken feedback from S2 into account because they made several corrections that I think led to S3 being the best season of the show yet.

First off they dropped the emphasis on the Multiverse which had previously played a strong role in S1 and 2. Good timing considering that the general audience at large has started to show signs of fatigue with the very concept of Multiverses, Spiderverse aside. I myself have grown utterly sick of the Multiverse and was grateful that like X-Kryptonite, the show decided to put that storytelling crutch on the shelf.

Second, they did a much better job with juggling all the characters' storylines this time. Lois, Superman, the Irons, and Smallville all connected to the overarching Intergang plot in a way that made sense and worked to flesh out Mannheim in contrast to the Parasite Twins last season who suffered from too much vagueness and multiple plotlines that failed to connect emotionally. Sam and Lana having similar emotional arcs - where they learn to move past the pain they suffered from previous relationships and be ready to explore new ones - was a great way of connecting the two that I did not see coming. And sue me but I enjoyed the Kyle/Chrissy romance as out of left field as it was.

Bruno Mannheim was easily the best villain of this series thus far. His actor was able to switch from charismatic and sympathetic to terrifying with startling ease. My favorite example of that is the episode where Nat and Matteo had dinner with the elder Mannheims, Mannheim was cracking jokes and being the cool dad one minute, and getting ready to beat John Henry Irons to death the next minute. Great casting and acting for the entire Mannheim family, odd choice to use a take on Onomatopoeia for a Superman show, but I thought Peia's love for her family and ruthless nature to protect them contrasted well with Lois. Loved that scene at the end between Supes and Peia where he tells her it's ok to let go, opposite message of the iconic All-Star scene which they also homage, but one that I thought can be just as comforting.

Speaking of her, Lois benefitted from being the star of her own storyline this season. She got to deal with cancer and investigate the Mannheims, she got to make mistakes (like when she hesitated to keep digging into Mannheim after her bonding with Peia), have struggles with her self-esteem, and her past actions regarding Lex help set up S4 nicely. Eager to see the fallout of Lex's hatred for her next season.

Clark didn't get as much to do this season other than butt heads with Mannheim and Jordan, but he got enough cool Superman saves and nice Clark moments for me to be satisfied.

New actor for Jon is great. Not only does he look more like the Jordan actor's twin but his performance was on par with his predecessor. Making Jon a firefighter was a nice way to give him something to do beyond being Jordan's emotional support, or take the fall for his girlfriend. Writers appear to have finally caught on that most of the viewers see Jon as the true sympathetic kid who embodies the best of his parents. Jordan however... what the hell are they doing with this kid? He was a total creep this season regarding Sarah and towards the end it felt like maybe they were going to pull a twist ending by having him start falling into villainy. Then they had the scene at the end where he apologizes to Sarah and I have no clue where they're going with him anymore. Having S4 be Jordan's fall while Jon finally gets his powers and has to confront his brother would be the best way to end this series, a way of coming full circle back to S1 being Clark vs. his own evil half-brother without being a total rehash. Dunno if the show has the balls for that, I expect they do not, but man it would be a great set up for a series finale

The Irons were far more involved this season which made me happy. Scene where Irons and Mannheim confronted each other after Irons saved his sister from the bomb was pure classic Superman/Lex hatred, made me wish we had gotten more scenes between Wole and Coleman because the two played off each other beautifully. Grinned when I saw this show follow through on the Steel/Lana romance, happy to see something of Pak's influence reach outside of comics.

The Lex actor is the best live action Lex since Rosenbaum, have to give the CW credit for being able to adapt Lex while the film side struggles. Really looking forward to him stepping up as the Big Bad next season. Given the show's emphasis on family and that they won't be bringing the actor playing Sam back as a reoccurring support, I firmly believe they should have Lex kill Sam in S4. Would be a great way to establish Lex as a threat, show how determined he is to punish Lois, and write Sam off in a way that serves the story.

On the bad side I guess this season ending on Doomsday didn't do much for me? Doomsday being a weird adaption of Nuclear Man from Superman IV (they even end the season with a fight on the moon!) and DCEU Doomsday is one of those times where I just ask "why?" when I see this show taking influence from the DCEU. Oh and there's all those supporting cast plotlines that aren't going anywhere now that the show has basically trimmed the cast down to the Kents and Lex. Nothing will come of the Irons moving back to Metropolis and building Steelworks or Kyle and Chrissy having a kid, not that the writers are to blame for that.

People would have been pissed if the show ended on this cliffhanger, lucky for them that S&L are at least getting what is likely to be one final season to wrap things up. Tulloch was saying that she wasn't sure if S4 was the last season, but I don't believe S&L can get another one. Between Nexstar just barely renewing this show after months of negotiations with WB, Nexstar making it clear the show isn't very profitable and they want to transition away from scripted content, most of the supporting cast members being laid off to cut costs, the real life town that scenes for Smallville are shot at only being signed up for three seasons, and of course Superman Legacy being primed to release in 2025, there's no way S4 will be anything but the final season. Especially with the WGA (and possible SGA) strikes delaying S4 scripting and shooting until late 2024, I expect that S&L S4 will air just a little while before Legacy's July 2025 release date, much the same way as the CW Flash series ended a little while before the Flash movie released.

Between MAWS and Legacy it's unlikely this show will have much if any impact on the Superman franchise, but it's been a nice diversion while the film side sorted itself out and MAWS got worked on. I'll definitely check in for the final season, I'm sad that the Irons won't return but I think the show might benefit from having to focus on the core cast rather than get sidetracked by focusing on everyone else like how the Flash show botched it's final season.

My Review of S&L thus far, and looking ahead.

Hey guys 3 weeks till Superman & Lois returns, and so I wanted to post my review on the series thus far, and my hopes for the upcoming season. 

Season 1

The show starts of with Clark’s backstory which I loved. I love the dorky take on superman which we haven’t seen in a while. Then it cuts to now them being the parents of teenagers. I like the casting right off the bat. Alex looks a lot like Tyler, and Jordan looks a lot like Bitsie. The dynamic of the twins was pretty interesting. I was under the impression that they would be like a mini Lois and clark. It was cool that they added some individuality to them. It gave depth to their characters. After this and another scene,  Clark returns to Smallville when his mom passes. I applaud Tylers performance for the death scene because its shows how it feels to lose someone in the superhuman way. How he listened to his moms heart beat as it slowed, was a beautiful touch. Moving to the funeral/wake scene. I like the entrance to the lang family (especially the savage response from Lana’s youngest). The scene in the barn tho. I shipped Jordan and Sarah after seeing their banter, and was left curious about Jon and Sarah since there was chemistry there too. The twins saving each other though after the polls fell was beautiful it showed their brotherly love. It was great how they had the family move to smallville. It showed the deep connections to clarks roots. The season really started off with a bang. It was beautiful how they bring to light the issues of grief and mental health issues. The scene where Lois miscarriage was revealed was beautifully written and done. How they had the therapy scene especially with the saying, “ this happened to you not because of anything you did.” That in itself is something beautiful that people should remember when dealing with trauma that brings feelings of self hate/loathing. The stories they make for their characters are so good for example with their villain. Tal was a good one because it showed how some villains aren't just automatically evil. It’s a good reminder that when people are hurt deeply and in the worst ways, good people can do bad things too. We see this with tal’s character. He was a little boy who lost his people, and he cared for them. he was a victim of horrible cruelty and lack of love.  He was someone who just wanted a family. The way he spoke to Clark/Kal. He had love for his brother. We also see this with Jon and how he deals with having to move to smallville and things not being easy. Showing how when a child or teen misbehaves it’s an indicator that they might be going through something. Also with John Henry irons. He lost his family in another world and his grief causes him to almost destroy another and the redemption he has that show some people just need a second chance is amazing. Overall the way the story was told and the action scenes where amazing. The show does have beautiful cinematography. 

————————————————————————————————————————— 

Season 2:

This season was in the middle. Like there was good written and done scenes, but others could have been better. 

So to start, the previous season ended with Jon Henry irons daughter showing up. We see that Lois has been dealing with some bad feelings. Things have been tense in the Kent home. We also see some changes in characters and new people. Jordan and Sarah hit a rode bump when she kissed another girl while away at camp. I hate what they did to them because it’s like they copy the season 1 thing. Sarah seem so beautifully written in s1 I honestly don’t know why they did this to her character. Continuing,  Jon gets a new girlfriend, and things at home boil over  when Jon tries to get lucky while home alone. It is revealed that Lois has been dealing with trauma of being abandoned by her mom. Feeling that came back when she did not react the way she wanted to towards Natalie. I love Lois’ scene because they bring important issues to light in a beautiful way. Fast forward nat and her dad move to smallville. Things still are rocky due to clark getting these super migraines because a bizarre version has come into their world. I love their take on bizarro. Jon’s storyline through me off. Like he was this rare one a kind super nice and modest person who didn’t let bad things hold him down. Then they threw that all to shit with him using drugs. Not to mention clark sucking at being his dad. Like the boy needs love real bad. I hate what they did with the girlfriend. I mean I got bad vibes in the beginning when she copied and pasted what clark was telling Jon to support him during the struggle with not being able to play football. As well there were like 5 or more reasons that made her a toxic girlfriend/walking red flag. So the fact that she got a second chance with Jon was mind boggling, and kind of shows a big concern with Jon continually committing self destructive behaviors. On Another note,  It was great with how they Brought in Jon-el. This opposite version of him. It show how Jon being the way he is and his heart is important. Moving on to the main bad guy, ally was pretty cool her storyline showed that truly no villain is a match with superman. Overall it was a great but certain storylines could have been better written. 

———————————————————————————————————

Looking Ahead: Season 3: 

So right of the bat, as we all know Jordan Elsass Got recast and Michael Clive Bishop has joined the cast. Im excited to see his portrayal of Jon. I'm wondering if they are kind of doing a smallville s3 storyline with him. For those who haven’t watched smallville or have forgotten, in the prequel series of Superman’s story before he became superman, Clark dates a drug dealer who gives him red kryptonite. So the Red-k is like Xk, and well clark stays with the drug dealer for another season, but by the end of it she shows she had not really changed or shall I say it is revealed that it was easy for her to fall into bad habits, and ultimately she was killed by the people supplying/ making the drug. So for S&L Im wondering if they will use that storyline for Jon. Kinda hoping Jon gets powers or gets weapons and/or some sort of training. As for the others, I’m looking forward to seeing how the reveals of the superman secret have changed the relationships in the show.

Lacking

Maybe Superman was always one of my least favourite superheroes. Maybe Lois Lane's just not a very interesting superhero "companion". Maybe, I did go into Superman & Lois Season 1 expecting boredom. Whichever the case was, this was a severely lacking first season.

Everything you see in season 1 has already been done. A long lost Kryptonian? An unknown brother? Genocide on humanity to resurrect a lost race? Yeah, it's all done already. So, you see. You add all these sub-plots that had been done, and then you add a superhero who has had countless adaptations on-screen. How can you create a show that's not lacking?

I really thought the addition of Jordan and Jonathan was going to make a Superman TV show more interesting than usual. Unfortunately, I just ended being mad at Jordan more times than not. Sure Jordan came through in the end but man, this boy was overly irritating and extremely self-entitled. I get it, this boy is not mentally strong as compared to say, his twin brother. But that is not reason to be this overbearing.

Thankfully, John's character kind of redeemed this show. Not gonna lie, if there was no John Henry Irons at all, I probably would have dropped this show. I spent most of the episodes watching this on 2x speed and I always try not to do that...

I will watch the other seasons, and hopefully it gets better than season 1. However, I don't have high hopes – Superman has always been a boring character to me and his villains are not that interesting as well.

Rating: ★★★☆☆
