A new spin on Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster’s Truth, Justice & The American Way…
Synopsis: “After years of facing supervillains, monsters and alien invaders, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent and comic books’ famed journalist Lois Lane come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever — dealing with being working parents in today’s society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois worry about whether their sons, Jonathan and Jordan, could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older. Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang and her Fire Chief husband, Kyle Cushing. The adults aren’t the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah. Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, Gen. Samuel Lane looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice.”

Review: Actor, Tyler Hoechlin from Supergirl, returns as Clark Kent / Superman to headline his own series. The unique premise of Clark, who is now married to Elizabeth Tulloc’s Lois Lane, makes the decision to leave the hustle and bustle of Metropolis for his seemingly peaceful, “hometown” of Smallville, with their two teen boys. This interesting backdrop, transforms the bachelor tales of The Man of Steel into more of a Dawson’s Creek type of CW nightly family “Soap Opera” much like The WB / The CW’s, highly successful predecessor, Smallville (2001-2011)… but with more adult themes.
