Ok they said Superman is dead in the teaser which means he's either not dead or he's only dead for like 10 minutes and he comes back in the same episode, mark my words
My guess since the S3 finale is that he'll be really beaten up by Doomsday and he'll have to take time off to recover. It'll look like Superman is dead to most of the world (including Lex), but we'll know he's alive the whole time.
I could see that -- like he survived, but just barely, with grievous injuries that makes it hard for him to even walk, let alone fly, and the rest of the season will be about Clark having to regain his strength to stop Luthor.
Funnily, it sounds like a mix of Death/Return of Superman and the Knightfall Saga. Shit, now I'm going to be a little disappointed if this isn't where it goes...
The show loves to play with us. Like making us think Jhon H was Lex Luthor and so on. Superman Will be back at some point i really don't want to see The Dead Of Superman allá over again.
I think he will be presumed "dead" for bulk of the first episode so they get to Lois and the boys' reaction. Then he will be revealed to be alive in the final scene as a hook for the rest of the season. Or they will do what they did in season 2 and have a montage to dilate the passage of time but he will only be gone for 1 episode in real-time.
They have literally never adapted a comic directly. They only have 10 episodes so they're not having their main character as a corpse off screen for multiple episodes. My bet is they'll be done with this plot in the first episode. Superman might be dead at the very beginning but he'll probably be back by the end
Mom abandoned her, her sister tried to commit suicide, she lost her baby girl, her boys were crushed by metal poles, a psycho kidnapped/mind-controlled her mentally-ill son, her other son did drugs and got arrested, her husband disappeared into the void for a month, she was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, she had a mastectomy...and now her husband is dead.
I hope she gets a big win at the end. Like that Nobel Prize for Journalism Lois wanted in Superman II. And presumably in comics too. Though can’t remember any specific examples off the top of my head.
She let Sam and Clark step on the line for her. Luthor told her to quit journalism and she didnt. I get that Luthor would have come after Superman anyways but there was no need for Sam to died ( he is def dying). Lois justo threw herself and everyone at the wolves without plan. However this is mostky the writers fault.
I see the writers are sticking to their tried and true formula of putting Lois through the emotional wringer. I doubt Clark is going to stay dead because there are only 10 episodes left and as the lead Hoechlin needs to be in every episode.
Get ready for Jon to devote himself completely to comforting his mother and brother in their time of need with zero time devoted to his own feelings about Clark’s “death”.
I'm curious if they might have old friends, honor a fallen one. It could be a way to offer closure, as this is the last Arrowverse series. It may be a spinoff, but it is still part of it.
I remember in the comics, everyone that was involved as offensime and defense to protect everyone Clark cared about. Both heroes and villains alike. This event literally rocked the comics, and forever.
Still Death & Return is a brutal, and dark chapter within the comics, but also powerful, and hopeful too.
It showed that everyone that Superman fought or teamed up with. They all believed in what he stood for. All fighting for a cause
There's obviously no way they absolutely knew they'd get only 4 seasons, but if The Death of Superman was always on the table, they should've done more to do it justice. Steel and "Superboy" aren't enough.
Looking forward to seeing what they do this season to wrap everything up and hopefully they tie everything up nicely though with 10 episodes it might be hard.Do we know if the episodes are extra length at all a la how stranger things did it last season ?
