Superman & Lois S2: Spoilers, Discussion, & Speculation

[Vordan]

With a new trailer I figured it was time for a new thread!



Some highlights:

-With Sam retiring it looks like Clark’s relationship with the government is being called into question
-Jon has a girlfriend and is trying to get laid
-Budget still looks pretty damn good for one of these shows, wonder what’s up with the sub?
-Jordan wants to come with his dad on heroics seemingly?
-Clark and Lois are having an argument
-Clark getting attacked/affected by something
-Irons suit getting damaged right in the center? Maybe he has to reinforce that area with.. a shield of some kind

Show returns Jan 11th! Still no hint at who the overall season villain will be besides Sam’s replacement.

I hope the main villain isn't just some military guy, not that you couldn't make a good season with that but I can't help but want some real supervillains on my Superman show.

Same but I’m guessing it’s another case where they don’t want to tell us who the main villain will be in advance. S1 made it look like the Stranger would be the main bad guy, but it was actually Morgan Edge/Thao. Rooting for Ultra-Humanite or Brainiac to get used this season.

I'm always down for some cool submarine action. Pretty slick looking sequences.

Liked the quick clip of the little boy running down the street with his red cape pretending to fly.

Please John Henry, craft an S emblem!!!

Nat is looking like she'll be a pretty good character addition.

Jon rocking the "sun's out, guns out" look, heh.

After watching the trailer a couple of times, I'm really curious to see what's gotten Lois so edgy, hoping the new head of DoD isn't the big bad to the season (just a recurring nuisance), and interested in the Jordan/ Sarah and Jon/ Tegan dynamic.

After rereading "Superman and the Authority" this morning, I wholeheartedly agree that Superman's 1st Big Bad of the comics deserves to appear in this. Brainiac maybe sometime later.
Though I did love the use of B/C list villains throughout S1 (Thaddeus Killgrave, Dabney Donovan, Atom Man) and hope they do more of that (perhaps appearances from Atomic Skull, Prankster, Bloodsport, Conduit, Equus, Insect Queen, Nimrod the Hunter or Terra-Man)

[Vordan]

Conduit makes a ton of sense. He’s got the ties to Smallville to justify him showing up and this show takes a lot of ideas from the Triangle Era.

[Frontier]

Ah, so this is how we're handling it, I see .

Seems like Lois is tense with Nat around, even if she doesn't want to admit it, and Nat doesn't take well to her dad being pals with Superman now.

I've seen a lot of people point out that the damage on the Steel suit might lead to John Henry putting on the S-Shield.

I'm not sure how much more the audience can take of your typical military official calling out Superman for not doing what the government wants him to do.

If Jon's ready to start going out in the field, how far have his powers gotten at this point?

I'm going to second this...however I'll add that we don't need any more evil Kryptonians either after season 1. I've always said that with Clark having been Superman for at LEAST 20 years, it gives the writers an out for not having to do introductions to villains. Just continue to do stuff like Killgrave (where we just know he's an enemy of Superman and we don't know what their first interaction was or even how much they've fought). If they need some sort of recent shady organization pulling strings we could do the Invisible Mafia.

Superman refusing to give allegiance to america instead of the world, makes me think they might debut the new 'truth justice and better tomorrow' slogan here. Since they kinda danced around the old one last season when flashback Lois interviewed superman.

I'd like to see some more of Intergang, in my completely hopeless wish to setup Darkeid at some point.

I’d love to see them use the new slogan here! You really want Darkseid on a CW show? That didn’t go so well last time . Even though their budget is clearly a cut above the rest, it will only provoke more outrage from… certain corners of the Internet. I just don’t think Mongul or Darkseid can be done, although Krypton’s take on Doomsday was pretty good so maybe I’m wrong.

[Frontier]

I think if they want to really make the new slogan happen they should start peppering it into other adaptions.

According to the writers we will not be getting any more evil Kryptonians storylines.

Not this season anyway but they do mention wanting to bring Thao back as the “Loki” to Superman’s “Thor”. I’m kind of iffy on it, I would rather Edge have just been playing Zod honestly over Superman’s secret half-brother. But the actor was great and I really enjoyed his scenes with Clark so I suppose I’ll wait and see.

Hope this season focuses on other villains however.

[The Frog Bros]

My guess is no. If we do get another Fortress I’m betting Irons will build it. Would be cool to see the Tesseract Fortress again, but my guess is the Kent Farm will be the “Fortress” going forward.

Tesseract would be way cool. Some type of fortress in the depths below the Farm would be pretty neat as well. Would just have to make sure it's just not a rehashing of the Batcave though

I'm thinking a fortress with Lara's AI if Clark ever finds her sunshine.

Yeah that would work too. Liked how they gave Lara some time in S1, this would be a unique way to give her more of a voice in Supes overall.
