Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! Wait a minute … Nope, it's a new teaser trailer for SUPERMAN & LOIS that honors the heroes (and villains) of the Arrowverse!
The new teaser begins with the Arrowverse's main man, Green Arrow, who helped launch a new era of extra-normal entertainment with ARROW in October of 2012. Since that time, Arrow has paved the way for a variety of superhero series on the CW, including spinoffs The Flash, Supergirl, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, and Batwoman. The new trailer gathers all of your favorite heroes for an exciting look back at many of their thrilling adventures, as well as a peek into the future, when Superman and Lois triumphantly arrive on the scene.
"What if this wasn't the life we were meant to have after Crisis?" Tyler Hoechlin's Clark asks in a voice-over, as he brings an ax to a pile of firewood on Kent Farm. Next, he speaks directly to his sons off-screen, saying, "Your mother is planning a trip." While the teaser doesn't provide us with any clues as to where Lois is off to, I'll eat my hat if she's not planning to investigate some ne'er-do-well who has underestimated her tenacity for discovering the truth.
"This family needs Smallville, as much as the world needs Superman," Clark proclaims near the end of the teaser, as we're treated to a shot of the mild-mannered reporter using his super strength to lift a truck while Lois fixes it from beneath. I'd also posit that the CW needs Superman, as fans have been wanting more from Big Blue for several years running. Add Lois Lane to that equation and you've got the makings of a great addition to the Arrowverse.
Production on Superman & Lois recently resumed in Vancouver, after a months-long shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. With cameras ready to roll and heroes ready to take to the skies, it might not be too long before we have a new and full trailer for this highly-anticipated series.
Superman & Lois, which is set to debut in January 2021, stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Dylan Walsh, Alex Garfin, Jordan Elsass, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Inde Navarrette, and Wolé Parks.
