In Superman & Lois, after years of facing super megalomaniacal villains, monsters creating chaos in Metropolis and alien invaders intent on exterminating the human race, the world's most famous superhero, the Man of Steel also known as Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) and the most famous comic journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch), face one of their biggest challenges - connecting with all the stress, pressure and complexity that comes with having a child in today's society. To further complicate the job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois also need to worry about the fact that their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin), may inherit their father's Kryptonian superpowers when they get older. Returning to Smallville to deal with Kent family businesses, Clark and Lois reunite with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a loan officer who is also, by chance, Clark's first love, and her husband, fire chief, Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez). Adults aren't the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville, as the Kent children are re-introduced to Lana and Kyle's rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette). Obviously, there is no rest in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois's father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh), looking for Superman to end a villain or save the day. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois's return to the idyllic Smallville goes through a twist when a mysterious man (Wolé Parks) enters their lives.
