Look! What’s that in the sky? It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! No! It’s the season premiere of Superman & Lois! That’s right! The DC series returned to The CW this past week with a 2-hour premiere, signaling the beginning of the end of the Arrowverse’s reign on the cable network. It’s bittersweet, the beginning of the end, but with a new slew of episodes of Superman & Lois season 4 finally here, saying we’re excited is definitely an understatement!
In this episode of The Cosmic Circle, host Brian Kitson and fellow TCC writers Wiktor Reinfuss and Vin break down all the exciting bits from the two-hour premiere. Was there anything shocking in the episodes they didn’t see coming? Where do they think the season will go? And why does Lex Luthor have such a bad wig!?! All this and more lay ahead in the Superman & Lois final season premiere podcast!
