Superman & Lois
WARNING : This article includes pillager from the Superman & Lois series finis . While the idea ofSuperman & Loisseason 5 has been prohibit , one of the leadDCTV lead of the show had ideas for another run of episode . After over a decade of telling stories in the Arrowverse franchise , Superman & Loisseason 4marked the end of the last DC boob tube show for The CW . However , even though another season was n’t on the tabular array , that does n’t stand for some of the stars did n’t have an idea of what another could have looked like if The CW had continued the serial publication .
In an exclusive interview withScreen Rant , Superman & Loisactor Alex Garfin , who portray Jordan Kent a.k.a . Superboy , opened up about how he had theme for season 5 that he was initially going to pitch to the showrunners . Garfin had not only share the idea withSuperman & Lois ' own Tyler Hoechlin , but they were going to pitch it together , as he revealed the follow story details :
loony toons deal with the physical [ while ] Lois , a lot of clip , deal with the emotional issue and the more interpersonal issues , and we see how the interpersonal issues can evidence in a physical way . In fact , I had a pitch that I was go to do for season 5 . So I was operate to peddle this , and Tyler actually liked it so much he was going to pitch it with me , because I was 19 at the sentence , but he really believed in this idea . I actually even , in a post - mortem form of way , pitch it to Jai as well . I would have sex to learn what Todd and everyone that ’s the big political boss would call back of it . But I guess it dealt with these root , so here was my rake for an alternate season 5 . This was the start of season 3 , when I was going to pitch this . So we did n’t really know about the Luthor factor of it all . We did n’t really know what was get on . [ In ] time of year 5 , so each character had their own little arc , the main villain would still be Luthor , but Luthor is actually fund this establishment that worship Superman like a God , because the whole thing with Superman is a little Jesus . It ’s a little biblical . So the estimation is that Superman has these big conflict around the world and destroys a destiny of prop and destroys a lot of lives , just from the bystander . And the people say , ' The Lord giveth , the Lord taketh aside ' and they start this big investment firm that helps repair some of the damages that Superman does because they worship him so much . It ’s their way of indicate thanks . Now , evidently , Clark fix extremely uncomfortable with this , and he does n’t realise that Luthor has actually been putting it on to endeavor to manipulate people . Because how do you get Superman ? You come for his self . You do for his deficiency thereof . You make him experience like a God , therefore people will reverence him . You wo n’t be able to help oneself in the same style . So all the while , Lois is muckrake this whole initiation .
She ’s trying to get underneath it all . She ’s examine to see where did this all follow from . She start to circle in on Luthor actually [ being ] the one running this entire cult . But the cult starts to get more and more worldwide . And I think one of the flaw of it is that actually it would be a piffling similar to season 2 , but the cult starts to acquire more and more worldwide , and they see Jordan as this sort of Hercules / Demigod , clear a lesser edition of Superman . All the while , Jonathan , he starts his own translation of the mend fund . He start his own version of trying to help the people that have been - because it ’s before he had powers - that have been hurt by Superman along the way , hurt by Superman and Jordan . Then there ’s Sam Lane , apparently , back when he was alert , would be at the DoD seek to use this to help his cause for the United States government . Superman is this American figure , so he ’s kind of working against Lois in this way , and he ’s trying to get Lois to break her publishing . Lois has this whole duty of news media . The matter is , that I thought it was interesting to make the field of battle not just physical , but also in people ’s minds . Because that ’s where Lois truly shines . That ’s how Lois is more powerful than Superman . There ’s a Shakespeare sonnet . There ’s also a couple other thing , in reality . Sarah recognise his closed book and does n’t recognise what to do about it . I block Lana had a affair . I cogitate she serve with Jonathan somehow . But the funniest one is that Kyle became a god-fearing Super - nighttime , he starts going full on wearing the strange wearing apparel , he ’s absolutely full into it , like he is devout . And then , of course of study , that causes conflict with him and Sarah .
What Alex Garfin’s Season 5 Pitch Means For Superman & Lois
WhiletheSuperman & Loisseries finalemay be the oddment for The CW dramatic play , Screen Rantalso call for Garfin if he would ever be interested in tackling Jordan ’s possible DC Comics debut , interchangeable to how Nicole Maines ' Dreamer fromSupergirlis now in the canon too . While he would love to continue telling Jordan ’s chronicle , Garfin also shared the idea he would have for aSuperman & Loisspinoff series that would center more on the Kent son , explaining the following :
Yeah , actually , I was do up with an idea for a spin off at one degree where Jordan and Jonathan are ultimately run to " college . " The college turns out to be prepare up by the DoD , and it ’s this place that the DoD is kind of hold back all these tiptop - kids prisoner . In a way , it ’s a bunch like the Tag Harris storyline , but it went [ in ] a bit of a different centering in that it turn out that this is really an sometime , outdated course of study from the Soviet era , and that they ’re keeping these kids almost like atomic artillery , because the Soviets still have theirs . And eventually they ’re fight back each other , but then they cease up teaming up , realize that they were contend other people ’s war and toppling governments . It got really political and strange and kind of a piddling more global . I would eff to make that show a reality one of these days , I really would .
Given that the Kent boy would have finally graduated from high school , aSuperman & Loisspinoff with them in their college years would have been a raw steering for their characters . That would also have allowed Jordan and Jonathan more of the spotlight , whileSuperman & Loiscould have continued to develop Lois and Clark further . Even if this were to happen as a spinoff withoutSuperman & Loisbeing on the line , it would be a way to sate in the years that were n’t shown in theSuperman & Loisfinale ’s flash - forward .
