Confirming the rumors and potential leaks, Tyler Hoechlin will indeed get a new Superman suit for the upcoming Superman & Lois series coming to The CW in January.
Details were revealed at today’s DC FanDome virtual convention which has a panel posted with Jim Lee, executive producer Todd Helbing, Hoechlin, and Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois).
Jim Lee offered that the series is “more than just a show about this new, unusual nuclear family,” and also teased that fans will get to see action-packed, set-piece-filled stories of superheroes and supervillains.
Helbing also added about the new Superman suit that it’s “badass.”
Back in February saw possible concept art of Tyler Hoechlin leak online wearing a new Superman suit, which resembles the DC Comics “Rebirth” costume.

Superman & Lois will be grounded
The DC FanDome panel also saw it learned that Clark and Lois have moved back to Smallville because of a “tragic” event, but the event wasn’t revealed.
Helbing also added about the series which focuses on the married lives of Clark and Lois and their two sons: “A story that is really as grounded as it can possibly be to have Superman in it.”
Superman & Lois premiers on The CW in January 2021 and will air Tuesdays at 9 pm EST following The Flash.
Superman & Lois synopsis:
In Superman & Lois, 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 (Jordan Elsass, “Little Fires Everywhere”) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin, “The Peanuts Movie”) 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 (Emmanuelle Chriqui, “Entourage”), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, “Graceland”). 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 (Inde Navarrette, “Wander Darkly”). Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, “Nip/Tuck”) 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 a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, “All American”) enters their lives.
Based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman & Lois is written and executive produced by Todd Helbing (“The Flash”) and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns. The series is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
