The finale also gave us plenty of post-battle twists: Lois told Chrissy that Clark is Superman; Jordan and Sarah got back together; Tal crossed over to the other world, where he inquired about his Bizarro wife; Clark erected a new Fortress of Solitude in the middle of the ocean, one that’s now “for the family”; and John received a visit from Arrow’s Diggle, who recruited him to investigate why Bruno Manheim and Intergang killed the John Henry of this Earth.

So we’re going to try to do that next season, and it felt like they couldn’t really work together in earnest and have a good working relationship if Clark was doing what he did at the Daily Planet all the time.

You want to do some of it, like the Lana stuff — her being his best friend, that felt interesting.

But we had some cool preliminary thoughts, which we’re going to start diving into in a couple of weeks.

Like all of the villains in the Superman mythos, we want to keep doing what we’ve been doing, which is to take a classic villain and reinvent them as best we can, to make them compelling and grounded and tie them into Superman & Lois.

Feels like it might be time for a name.

I don’t know how soon that’s going to be, but I think Alex Garfin is looking forward to cutting his hair, something a little more like his haircut in the comics.

But what we really find interesting about Jordan is that it’s such a different time and age than when Clark was saving people as a teenager.

TVLINE | I also appreciated Clark telling Jonathan about the Kryptonian technology in the new fortress.

In Episode 3 of Season 1, there’s the beat where Clark shows up at Jonathan’s practice.

The implication was that he was going to take him to the fortress, but it didn’t play that way.

It’s like what they say on the boat: “This is a family thing.” The fortress should be for the family.

Between Lana telling Kyle she still needs time, then Tal investigating his marriage to Lana-Rho, I feel like something might happen there.
