    ==Synopsis==
    After years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on [[Metropolis (UE-3233)|Metropolis]], and alien invaders intent on wiping out the [[Humans (UE-3233)|human]] race, the world's most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka [[Clark Kent (UE-3233)|Clark Kent]] and comic books' most famous journalist, [[Lois Lane (UE-3233)|Lois Lane]], come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever - dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons [[Jonathan Kent (UE-3233)|Jonathan]] and [[Jordan Kent (UE-3233)|Jordan]] could inherit their father's [[Kryptonians (UE-3233)|Kryptonian]] superpowers as they grow older. Returning to [[Smallville (UE-3233)|Smallville]] to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with [[Lana Lang (UE-3233)|Lana Lang]], a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark's first love, and her Fire Chief husband [[Kyle Cushing (UE-3233)|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 Cortez (UE-3233)|Sarah]]. Of course, there's never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois' father, General [[Sam Lane (UE-3233)|Sam Lane]], looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois' return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when both a [[John Henry Irons (UE-34)|mysterious stranger]] and impassioned self-made mogul [[Tal-Rho (UE-3233)|Morgan Edge]] enter their lives.<ref name="synopsis">[https://www.kryptonsite.com/superman-lois-new-pilot-photos-description-from-the-cw/ Superman & Lois: New "Pilot" Photos & Description From The CW]</ref>

    After years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world's most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent and comic books' most famous journalist, Lois Lane, come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever - dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not 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, a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark's first love, 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, General Sam Lane, looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois' return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when both a mysterious stranger and impassioned self-made mogul Morgan Edge enter their lives.[1]
