Unlike in the Superman films, Superman & Lois will look slightly different in terms of content. Supes may be one of the strongest superheroes around, but he’s also just a guy when he’s at home. The series is said to follow the Clark Kent and Lois Lane as they balance their private lives as parents with their professional lives as journalists — as well as Clark’s badass crime-fighting career while moonlighting as the Man of Steel.
Though no specific plot for Superman & Lois has been confirmed by the CW, it’ll likely be something similar to the ’90s reincarnation of the couple in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. That series focused more on the couple’s relationship than Supes’ nighttime job, showing them traversing the twists and turns of a romantic relationship that presumably has just a little added strain on it given the fact he’s a superhero. Only this time, there’s the little pitter patter of baby feet to contend with as well.
While she couldn’t reveal much else about the show’s plot, Tulloch did speak briefly to TVGuide about Superman & Lois, teasing that the story is something quite special: “When Todd Helbing was telling me about the story for the pilot script for Superman & Lois I got chills. It’s so good, and it’s something we haven’t seen before with them, so I think it’s going to be great.”
