The opening sequence of Superman & Lois’s pilot episode is a perfect Superman story all on its own, a montage that takes us through the life of Clark Kent up to the present day and a sequence that hits all the right spots.
Starring Tyler Hoechlin and Betsie Tulloch as the titular heroes, Superman & Lois is a compelling take on two of comic books’ oldest and most iconic characters. More than the idea of the man of steel, Superman & Lois sets up that the most immediate stakes here aren’t about the fate of the Earth. It’s the fate of this family.
So what is it that makes Superman & Lois so compellingly human? Why is a family drama the perfect vehicle for a Superman story and what, beyond the aspect ratio, truly sets it apart from its superheroic peers?
