Superman & Lois Has Brought Back Clark Kent - But It Could Kill Superman Off Forever

The latest episode of Superman & Lois has seen the return of Clark Kent to the DC Universe, although it seems the series may still be planning on Superman"s end. This latest iteration of Superman dying onscreen has made for a compelling start to the final season of the CW series, using details from both the comics and the show"s history to craft a wonderfully engaging story. However, Superman & Lois is set to end with the close of this final season, and the show may be left with some heavy story ramifications.
With only a handful of episodes left, Superman & Lois has provided unexpected stories of the Man of Steel and his family that audiences never expected to see. Built around a satisfying family dynamic, the show has recently proven that the stories of Jordan, Jonathan, and Lois are just as important, if not more important, to the series than Superman himself. Following in this path, new details from the latest episode suggest that perhaps the Man of Steel will be done away with entirely by the end of the show.
Superman & Lois Season 4 Brought Clark Back From The Dead - But Superman's Days May Be Numbered Clark Kent Has Been Regenerated With New Weaknesses Close Superman returning from death was inevitable in the CW series, and Superman & Lois episode 4 ended with exactly that. This was done with the restoration of Sam Lane"s heart using Clark"s Kryptonian blood, which was then placed inside of Clark, allowing him to come back to life. While Superman"s return was certainly important, this method of bringing the hero back brings up several concerns surrounding the hero"s vitality. Superman may not have much time left, even if Clark survives.
Using Sam Lane"s heart, even if it was enhanced by a serum made with Clark"s own blood, brings up several concerns. While Sam Lane was certainly a strong and healthy figure for his age, the fact was that Sam was in his 60s, and his human heart was not the ideal specimen. While Clark"s body and blood will certainly be able to use this heart for all that it has, this is likely to inhibit Superman"s powers moving forward and may even force him to hang up his cape sooner than later.
Superman & Lois Ending With Superman's Retirement Would Be A Fitting Ending For The DC Show Superman's Legacy Has Been Examined Throughout the Series' Run Close Fortunately, Superman & Lois has spent much of its run exploring Clark"s entire family, including the lives of his sons and unexpected storylines about their Superman powers. Clark retiring as Superman by the end of the show would actually make a lot of sense; this is an aged and established Superman who has spent his entire life fighting for good. With sons who are on the verge of adulthood who can take on his mantle, Clark may finally have the opportunity to let go and spend the rest of his days in peace with his wife.
This would be a fitting and satisfying ending for Superman & Lois, but it would also contribute to the wonderful end of the Arrowverse. With a new DC Universe from James Gunn and Peter Safran on the horizon, there is no need for Superman & Lois to end with potential teases for the future, as many such projects, including even endings like Venom: The Last Dance suggest. Superman & Lois can close with genuine finality for the hero, and this would feel perfect after the series" 4-season run.
Superman & Lois' Villain Confrontation Tease Sets Up The Perfect Reason For Superman To Retire Doomsday Will Return By The End Of The Series Close The mid-season trailer for Superman & Lois sets up more conflicts with Doomsday, a villain that Superman was unable to beat even with his powers at their peak mere episodes ago. This upcoming confrontation will likely be used to close out the hero"s story, and it seems unlikely that Superman would be able to beat him now. Fortunately, the show has done a great job setting up other heroes: in addition to Jordan and Jonathan, other characters like Steel and even his daughter Starlight will likely have to join the battle.
Seeing Superman have to depend on others to defeat Doomsday would be an effective close to the show. In addition, if these other heroes defeat Doomsday, Superman will be given confidence that he is allowed to move on, and that the world will be safe without him. Superman & Lois has done an excellent job in exploring the human dynamics between Clark and his family, and it is clear that the hero would be perhaps happiest if he no longer felt such heavy responsibility for his heroism.
