Superman & Lois Teaser Trailer: “Clark Kent, Back in Smallville”

The CW has put together a spotlight video on the various shows in what they call their “CWverse” including DC Comics TV staples Arrow (which just ended), The Flash, DC’s Stargirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, and Supergirl, before cutting into a sequence spotlighting their newest and most anticipated new series — Superman & Lois!

And what makes this trailer special, while intentional or not, is that it focuses on the return of Clark Kent to Smallville — where Smallville, of course, was The CW’s first DC hit. There is imagery from Crisis on Infinite Earths and Elseworlds within, much of which that would be familiar to fans of the CW series that ran for 10 years and starred Tom Welling… heck, if you look closely, you’ll even see Tom once or twice. As a bonus: There’s new dialogue we haven’t heard before… and some music that we are assuming may be new theme music for the series! (GIVE US OPENING TITLES, PLEASE!)

In any event, you can see it below, and you can spread your Superman & Lois excitement by following KryptonSite’s SupermanLoisTV on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Superman & Lois premieres in January 2021 on The CW, and the show stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Jordan Elsass, Alexander Garfin, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarette, Dylan Walsh, and Wole Parks.

  • Are they using any of the Smallville locations for this show? I know the homestead was re-used for the Kent's home on Earth-38 in Elseworlds (and for the original Kent home in Crisis, of course) but since we're now on Earth Prime they're not necessarily beholden to using it a third time.
