The world’s most famous superhero and comics’ most famous journalist grapple with the pressures and complexities that come with balancing work, justice and fatherhood in today’s society. The pilot pays homage to “Action Comics” #1 (Superman’s debut) by depicting the hero’s original Golden Age costume for the first time in live-action. The famous green car from the cover also appears. Superman flies by the WB logo and turns it into the DC Comics logo.
Both logos are red and blue and set on the Kent farm

I would give seasons one and two 9 out of 10, but season three only 4 out of 10. We finished season three a few days ago and were very disappointed. The cancer storyline dominated the entire season, which some people have applauded, but makes it unwatchable for others. There are several scenes in each episode where they just talk about cancer and in some episodes you don’t even see Superman, or if you do it’s fleeting.
What a difference!
However, we sat down to watch it and were relieved when Lex Luthor showed up at the end of the series and he felt more like Superman again. We finished the third season and went right back to the beginning of the first. The first season is so beautiful; the action is great, the effects are great, and the acting is excellent. It’s like a completely different show.
We really hope that season 4 goes back to the old Superman and Lois
As a family that has experienced cancer (like most others), season 3 just didn’t feel like Superman. It was very depressing at times and not the escape from the “real world” that we needed after a hard day at the office.
