Follow the world's most famous super hero and comic books' most famous journalist as they deal with all the stress, pressures, and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society.
Overall, the show manages the extraordinary feat of appealing to young genre fans as well striking a chord with their parents, even those still wondering if modern technology can't produce a pair of X-Ray Spex that really work.
Adding a family/coming-of-age component to the Man of Steel's mythology, the show cleverly ties into the deep roots of the franchise, at least initially proving you can go home again.
This terribly earnest drama, opening with a 90-minute premiere, skips past the romance and honeymoon period to more domestic concerns, often moving slower than a spent bullet.
Superman and Lois squarely belongs to Superman, who spends enough of his time blinking at his family in handsome concern and darting around the stratosphere that he can never fully anchor his family, let alone this show.
Superman & Lois is just as concerned with the consequences of reverse mortgages for the elderly and small-town economic woes as with Superman preventing a nuclear meltdown. And that's intriguing.
Kudos to the new CW series "Superman & Lois" for casting Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, for while Hoechlin certainly looks to be in shape, he's built more like a smallish punt returner than an outside linebacker.
The CW's latest DC show flies higher than the rest, a grounded & mature take on Superman - but still plenty of action. If only the comics could update the character this well!
'Superman & Lois' is a breathe of super powered fresh air to the superhero genre on TV, as well as the Superman character. Tyler Hoechlin is the perfect Clark and makes a presence as the Man of Steel.
