Superman and Lois (2021) "pilot" Review


 


Superman and Lois (2021)


  Superman and Lois has officially released with its pilot episode. After it's trailer gave us a "Man of Steel" feeling with music that sounds awfully similar with Hans Zimmer's work, yet this music is done by Dan Romer, the artist behind the video game score of "Far Cry 5".  The trailer gives this Superman tv show a dark & dramatic tone to it like "Man of Steel".

  Superman and Lois doesn't connect to Supergirl and has it's own universe. And as far as I know it seems to ignore the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths,  which ends with the heroes  creating a new earth after all earths in the multiverse are destroyed, this special crossover ends with Clark getting a call from Lois saying "Clark... I need you to get to metropolis now. its the boys" which told fans that clark has two boys and seemed to have fans speculate that a new superman show could happen.

  To my knowledge the Kent farm from the TV show "Smallville" that made brief cameos in crossovers and in "Supergirl" doesn't seem to make it's appearance. And the farm is different which means this show is indeed not in the same universe and maybe confirming this is a completely different universe.   

  Casting the iconic character Clark Kent/Superman. played by American actor Tyler Hoechlin who has made appearances in Supergirl & crossovers with Melissa Benoist Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Hoechlin plays the mild mannered reporter for the daily planet Clark Kent & the man of steel Superman very well as he is scripted to put the clumsiness in his Clark Kent identity as the character is known to be clumsy to hide he is superman, Hoechlin performed Superman just as well with Superman's friendly & heroic personality.

  As far as Lois Lane, played by American actress Elizabeth Tulloch, with appearances on Supergirl and crossovers with Tyler Hoechlin & Melissa Benoist, she does the competitive and supportive Lois Lane, lover of Clark Kent/Superman, very well as she gives the love superman needs to live a human life on earth.

  Superman and Lois is about Clark and Lois having twins while dealing with how it is to be parents in society today. Being concerned if their teenage boys are to be super or not and would find a way to help them overcome challenges of being super.  

  I loved this first episode as it was so much about parenting in society today. it was hard seeing as how different Jonathan and Jordan are as Jonathan has his fathers football feats and happiness, Jordan deals with tantrums getting through his childhood and then being diagnosed with social anxiety, what was disappointing was this episode felt less then forty two mins. 

Superman and Lois doesn't connect to Supergirl and has it's own universe. And as far as I know it seems to ignore the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, which ends with the heroes  creating a new earth after all earths in the multiverse are destroyed, this special crossover ends with Clark getting a call from Lois saying "Clark... I need you to get to metropolis now. its the boys" which told fans that clark has two boys and seemed to have fans speculate that a new superman show could happen.
