The CW has released a new character portrait from the upcoming first season of Superman & Lois.
The poster sees Elizabeth "Bitsie" Tulloch's Lois Lane and Tyler Hoechlin's Clark Kent standing side-by-side in front of the picturesque Kent Farm in Smallville, KS. To the left is a radiant sunset and in the sky above, the unmistakable Superman "S" shield.
"From the very beginning, going back to when she was introduced in 1938, Lois Lane as a character defied society’s expectations of how women should behave," Tulloch said. "Women at that point were more typically portrayed as demure, but Lois was always opinionated and unapologetic and uncompromising and a career-woman. Part of why she has remained so compelling for so many years is that she’s also vulnerable, and fallible, romantic, and goofy and a clutz - I just find her really appealing."
"I find Lois inspiring in how little she gives a crap about what anyone thinks of her," she continued. "She’s not doing the work for glory or more Pulitzers, she’s doing it because she believes in justice and truth. She is incredibly driven and determined and hard-working and she really embodies the aphorism 'be the change you wish to see in the world.' she is not intimidated by anyone. she wants to save the world with words."
Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Dylan Walsh, Alex Garfin, Jordan Elsass, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Inde Navarrette and Wolé Parks. The series premieres Tuesday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
