Superman & Lois Season 1 (2021) Trailer Review

With 2021 here it has come the time for the Arrowverse to start showing things for their TV line-up and a trailer has been released for their new show Superman & Lois and here are my thoughts on what we saw. 

Will take inspiration from Man Of Steel  

I personally, love Man Of Steel and it is clear that this show is a fan of it. There are scenes in this trailer that are pretty much ripped from the film and it makes it seem like this show has a big budget and will look better then Supergirl does. 

Both characters have been fired from the Daily Planet

A big departure from the history of the two characters is that both of the title characters have lost their jobs at the Daily Planet. After Supergirl has spent so much time on the journalism angle it is nice to see this show won't recycle it. It also brings up the question into what the characters will be doing when they aren't saving the world. 

The show will be affected by The Crisis

Even though I wasn't the biggest fan it is nice to see that the crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths is still affecting our characters. In the original timeline, Lois and Clark had a young child but now they have two teenage boys and they don't look like they have particularly aged so it is best to assume it is the same time period. It will be interesting to see how big a change this will be for our two lead characters and whether it will affect things in a greater way. 

The kids don't know Clarke is Superman

A bit of a strange part of the trailer is that those two kids have no idea their dad is Superman until he shows them. It makes you think how they didn't find out this, considering they claimed to have seen Superman before, so it might be one of the more unbelievable factors of the show. 

Are the military trying to recruit Superman?

There is a scene in the trailer that sees General Sam Lane tell Clark he can't hide for too long. Does this mean he knows Clark is Superman? Is he trying to recruit him for something and if so what could that be and why now?

Who is the villain pulling the strings?

We see a powered villain going after Superman but it seems to question who and what are the villains after? After Supergirl has used plenty of Superman villains how will the show deal with this and will there be a villain roster deep enough for the show. Also Lex Luthor has been a real highlight in the Arrowverse, and I would love to really see him go against Superman in this show. 

Overall

Overall, I really like what I have seen from both Superman & Lois in the Arrowverse so far so I have hopes for this show and this trailer did a pretty decent job of setting it up.
