Superman & Lois: Season 2 Episode 1: What Lies Beneath: Review

 Superman & Lois' season 2 premier has so much potential going forward, and I am loving the direction, and that ending is building up to what I think will be an adaptation of one of the most popular Superman comics of all time.

Lois struggling with her feelings to seeing Natalie Irons (John Henry Irons/Steel's daughter) at the end of season 1 really brought out some of Bitsie Tulloch's best acting. I expected the show to cover this aspect of the story line, but it was much more serious than I was expecting. Good job on the writers for how they handled the situation.

Lois walking in on Jonathan and his new girlfriend was laugh out loud hilarious, mainly due to Lois' reaction. Jordan Elsass did a great job, and the dialogue in this scene was funny. I have to admit though, I was disappointed that Tegan was not the one with him, since I really liked their chemistry together, but this aspect of the story line will not affect my review.

Sarah, who went to some kind of camp, returning to Smallville was not what I was expecting. She is definitely hiding something, and I wonder what it is. They need to keep Sarah and Jordan together, mainly due to the fact that their chemistry is sweet and charming. 

Superman dealing with a new head of the DoD was another thing I was not expecting. The new head creating a new team is very interesting. Definitely building up to an adaptation of Reign of the Supermen. Looking forward to watching this story line play out. I was expecting a lot more action scenes though, only thing I was upset about with this episode.

Superman dealing with visions has only 3 outcomes in my opinion. 1. Zod will be arriving. I think this due to the fact that the way his mind was being messed with reminded me of when Zod tried to take over his mind. 2. Brainiac is coming. I think this due to the fact that Brainiac messes with your brain. 3. Superman has some kind of a connection to Doomsday, and that is why he is having these visions.

Lana and Kyle Cushing helping a new Mayoral candidate is not what I was expecting. I really thought that Lana was going to run for Mayor, maybe she still will, I do not know. 

The ending with the cause of the earthquakes being revealed to be a creature at the bottom of the mines confirmed one of my predictions! Doomsday is arriving. That means that they could be adapting the Death of Superman comic book story line! So glad that it is Doomsday coming!

I really think that Tal-Rho will end up teaming up with Superman towards the end of the season! And I also think that it is possible that Superman will die at the end of the season, and Jordan will end up becoming Superboy at the end, and filling in, until Superman returns from the dead. Another possibility is that Tal-Rho will die instead of Superman, and it will be a redemption arch for him!

Out of a 10 I would give it...
