Superman & Lois’ Enormous New Season 4 Plot Twist Literally Changes Everything
Superman & Lois" huge new season 4 plot twist is sure to have a colossal knock-on effect for not just the Man of Steel himself, but also all of those around him and in his life. Season 4 has brought a wide selection of major moments to the live-action Superman show, including killing off the Man of Steel, bringing him back (via the death of Lois" father providing him a replacement heart), and giving Jonathan powers. All in all, it"s been a whistle-stop tour that has ensured the final stretch of the DC series hasn"t had a dull moment.
However, perhaps the biggest moment of all of the show thus far takes place in Superman & Lois season 4, episode 7, providing a surprising twist that few could have predicted despite similar narratives cropping up in the comics. With three episodes left in the story before the entire show comes to a conclusion, how Clark"s decision affects the entire Superman & Lois season 4 cast - and beyond - is sure to make for a fascinating final narrative in the series.
Superman & Lois Revealing Clark Kent Is Superman To The World Changes All Of Its Storylines![]()
Superman & Lois season 4, episode 7 sees Clark Kent decide to go public about being Superman to the world, after his secret already becomes more or less public knowledge in Smallville, and keeping things under wraps starts to look increasingly and perhaps more pointlessly complex. As such, Clark does an interview with the Daily Planet in order to reveal who he is, and why he"s finally opening up about his civilian identity after keeping it a mystery for so long.
Though this isn"t the first time in history that a storyline has seen Clark"s secret identity become public knowledge - as the comics have played with this narrative more than once in their history - it"s especially notable in that, with so few episodes left in the show, it seems like the series will not reinstate the status quo before its finale, meaning it will end with Superman"s identity remaining public. Not only is this a fascinating way to close out the DC show and set it apart, it"s also a move with major ramifications for every single character in the series.
While the people of Smallville appeared to be steadily working out the Kent family secret in their own time after his death, having their homegrown hero now be known to the world puts the spotlight on them in a way the population likely won"t have been expecting, and that may drastically alter Clark"s relationship with them in many different ways. Naturally, Lois" life is majorly changed by this too, and the move could change how many look at her journalism career, given her reports on Superman coincide with her relationship with him.
Things are likely to change the most for Lois and Clark"s sons, as the fact both can now be open about their powers alters their personal stories substantially, especially since it"s almost a given that the public will realize Jordan and Jonathan are young heroes themselves, raising expectations about them taking over from their father or at least continuing his superhero legacy. Finally, Lex"s grudge against the Kent family now also looks different, as it will likely be harder for him to hide that his schemes are so targeted at them.
The Past Three Seasons Of Superman & Lois Look Very Different After Its Season 4 Identity Twist Close Superman & Lois consistently focused around the idea of the family needing to keep Superman"s secret identity a private matter. Initially, it"s revealed that even Jordan and Jonathan didn"t know Clark was Superman, which leads to plenty of early conflict in the show, especially because Jordan"s own powers coming in has raised questions about what their lives might look like, and how their father could keep such a crucial secret from them.
Later on in the series, the matter of keeping Clark and Jordan"s powers secret remains a core story focus. Jordan struggles to hide his fledgling powers from his girlfriend Sarah - causing distance between the two until the truth is revealed - and when Sarah"s mother and Clark"s childhood best friend Lana Lang finds out he"s Superman, this is also a struggle for her to process. While it seemed like all of this was showing the cost of these secrets, with the twist now in mind, it actually seems they may have been paving the way for this major reveal.
As much as Superman & Lois repeatedly underlined the valid reasons for keeping secret identities, it also wasn"t shy about the negative impacts of doing so. The show also made it clear that Jonathan and Jordan had serious hang-ups about keeping their powers and heroic deeds secret for their entire lives. Now, though, the road forward has a drastically different appearance, with this previous drama all serving to instead add some explanations for Clark and his family"s final decision to come forward about who Superman is.
Superman & Lois' Secret Identity Storyline Is Huge For The Show's Final Episodes Close It"s clear that Clark revealing he"s Superman will be a focal fixture of Superman & Lois" final episodes, with the show leaving just enough time for this to be fully explored as the series enters its final trio of releases. How this affects the Kent family"s final clashes with Lex should prove fascinating, as while it seems this could work in their favor, there"s also a real chance it"s all part of Luthor"s plans - since he sent the man who initially forced Clark to reveal his secret to Smallville in the first place by shooting the Man of Steel.
Since the series is also likely to close by at least alluding to whether Jordan and Jonathan will become full-time heroes like their dad, the fact they can now be public about their own identities and powers is almost sure to come into play in the last episodes of Superman & Lois. Though there are plenty of ways to handle the aftermath of such a big moment in the series, hopefully the show manages to do right by all the characters in showing the results of this decision, answering as many questions as possible before it finishes for good.
Superman & Lois season 4 airs new episodes on Monday nights at 8/7c on The CW.
