To remove the titular character for so much of a final season is quite bold and was a surprise, even for some of the actors, though some fans wonder if Superman’s absence is impacting the overall storyline for the rest of the show, it seems, Superboy and the new iteration of Lex Luthor have really made some great appearances this season, and give this show that final push.

The producers and directors were taking a gamble, as this bold strategy might create excitement and even anticipation. To expect Superman’s return to the show was expected by most. Most believe Clark Kent is coming back to provide that dramatic, exciting finish. While there might be other possibilities such as flashbacks, the overall theory among fans is this was a setup for a truly spectacular final moment of action!

Many who've watched Superman & Lois have also read "The Death of Superman," or have seen other interpretations of it such as those produced by Zack Snyder.

Some fans are still somewhat apprehensive, however. The photos are seemingly taken during the finale, not before! This is a surprise! It means there's a lot less screen time that was anticipated for Tyler Hoechlin. What this will ultimately come down to is those final ten episodes in season 4. Those who hope Superman’s return is early may find some anxiety as we come towards the finale of this beloved and powerful DC Universe series. If you have enjoyed this iconic show, and its powerful story make sure you stay tuned in!
