This article contains Superman & Lois spoilers.
Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 3
When it really comes down to it…it was never gonna be Doomsday, was it? The whole mission statement of Superman & Lois has always been to do things a little bit sideways from what the fans expect. Superman mythology is so ingrained in pop culture consciousness that any setting, any tease of a comics story, any new character, is instantly going to give audiences the idea that they know what’s coming. And despite the absurdly dominant monocultural juggernaut that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become, and the fact that comics featuring those characters are just as readily available as the Man of Steel’s, they don’t have the same problem that Superman does.
Why? Perception.
Of the three most recognizable, marketable superheroes in the world, only Superman has struggled (unjustly) with shaking the perception among general audiences that they know his story.
