WARNING: This post contains spoilers from the Superman & Lois series finale!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Superman & Lois<\/strong><\/a><\/em> came to an end tonight (December 2) after four seasons on The CW<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n The series, based on the DC Comics, was the remaining comic book adaptation on the network, and aired an epic finale<\/a> to conclude the chapter.<\/p>\n Tyler Hoechlin<\/strong><\/a> and Bitsie Tulloch<\/strong><\/a> starred in the show as the title characters, Clark Kent\/Superman and Lois Lane.<\/p>\n Following the finale, the showrunners are explaining why the show ended the way it did.<\/p>\n Spoilers ahead.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In the final episode, Clark went head-to-head with Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz<\/strong><\/a>) and defeated Doomsday with the help of his sons Jordan (Alexander Garfin<\/strong><\/a>) and Jonathan (Michael Bishop<\/strong><\/a>). <\/p>\n Following the events that went down, Clark hung up his superhero cape, saying goodbye to Superman and focusing on his community and watching his kids grow up. Lois\u2019 cancer returned and she eventually dies, while Clark gets a pet dog to be by his side for his remaining days. <\/p>\n In the final moments of the episode, Clark dies and is reunited with Lois. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s what the showrunners had to say about the finale and ending it the way they did, with the deaths of the show\u2019s titular characters.<\/p>\n \u201cWe we were told at one point that we were the only live-action show that really got to conclude his story. So we felt that was a real opportunity. For us, there\u2019s so many questions that you have about what it\u2019s like to live that kind of life. We were doing Death of Superman. That\u2019s what we were going to sell to the audience,\u201d Brent Fletcher<\/strong> told Deadline<\/a><\/em>. \u201cBut it\u2019s actually a mislead, because the death of Superman doesn\u2019t happen until the end of episode 10, and we felt like it was to show that that was a life well-lived. What are the auspices of a life well-lived? It\u2019s hope, joy, family and good all these things that he is. It was a hard thing to compact, but we felt that that montage could give a little window into that and give a little inspiration. We\u2019re all mortal, and maybe there\u2019s a beauty to our mortality that even Superman faces. So we thought it was kind of a neat thing. It was something that we were excited about, and so we followed that muse.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd Helbing<\/strong> adds, \u201cIn the history of Superman, he is in a lot of ways immortal, right? He\u2019s gonna live forever. He\u2019s gonna outlive Lois. He\u2019s gonna outlive his boys. But in this version, with what happened to him, he wasn\u2019t going to do that anymore. So it just felt like, instead of having more questions for the audience about, \u2018Oh, I wonder what he was like when he was old,\u2019 it\u2019s like, let\u2019s just show it to them. We\u2019ve never seen that. I think it\u2019s really moving in a way that\u2019s unexpected. Those are the best kind of endings.\u201d<\/p>\n If you missed it, the real reason why Superman & Lois<\/em> came to an end<\/a> was revealed\u2026<\/p>\n Superman and Lois will next be seen on screen in the upcoming Superman<\/em> movie<\/a>, due out on July 11, 2025! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
