Superman’s demise was strongly hinted at in the previously released Season 4 poster which features the Man of Steel’s tattered and torn cape floating through space as a result of his battle with the series’ version of Doomsday (a mutated form of Bizarro thanks to Lex Luthor) which was featured in the final episode of season three.
The final season will feature 10 episodes and conclude at the end of the season. Also, due to drastic budget cuts, only four series regulars will be returning including Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth “Bitsie” Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, and Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent.
Actor Michael Cudlitz will also return as the iconic DC Comics villain Lex Luthor although it is currently unknown how large of a role he will have in the overall Season 4 storyline.”Superman & Lois” returns for a special feature length premiere on Thursday, October 17th at 8pm ET/10pm PT.
