Chances are that you’ve already met this iteration of the DC comics power-couple Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois (Bitsie Tulloch) thanks to their various appearances throughout in a number Arrowverse tie-ins. So far, they’ve made a great impression, which is why it’s exciting to see the pair get their own spin-off series which sees Clark bring Lois home to Kansas to raise their teenaged sons.
