Warning: The following section contains spoilers for the finale of season 3 of Superman and Lois titled "Injustice." The final episode leaves fans with numerous unanswered questions and unresolved mysteries. While many of these questions revolve around the various storylines and subplots explored throughout the season, some also pertain to the behind-the-scenes challenges faced by The CW network and DC Studios, as well as the future of the show beyond its fourth season.

One of the main arcs in season 3 of Superman and Lois revolved around Clark Kent and Lois Lane's efforts to expose the criminal activities of Bruno Mannheim, a notorious crime boss. During their investigation, they uncovered evidence that suggested Lex Luthor had been framed for a crime he did not commit. In the penultimate episode, Luthor was released from prison and sought vengeance against both Superman and Lois Lane for tarnishing his public image through her reporting. This conflict sets the stage for a thrilling showdown in the season 3 finale, while leaving viewers with several pressing questions.

10 What Will The Superman & Lois Season 3 Cliffhanger Be?

Before the confirmation of Superman and Lois season 4, CW network president Brad Schwartz hinted at an exciting cliffhanger in the season 3 finale. Schwartz revealed in an interview with TVLine that the finale would prominently feature Lex Luthor and assured viewers that the conclusion of the season would be incredible, leaving them on the edge of their seats. Now the burning question remains: What will this captivating cliffhanger entail?

9 What Cast Will Return For Superman & Lois Season 4?

One of the burning questions surrounding season 4 of Superman and Lois is the fate of the show's supporting cast. In an effort to cut costs, The CW has pared down the core cast, leaving only the actors who portray Superman, Lois, their twin sons, and Lex Luthor as series regulars. While there is a chance that some of the axed actors may make guest appearances, it has been reported that Dylan Walsh, who plays General Sam Lane, has declined the opportunity to return. This decision inevitably raises the specter of his character and other supporting characters meeting their demise in a game-changing cliffhanger.

8 What Resources Does Lex Luthor Still Have?

One question raised by the penultimate episode of Superman and Lois season 3, "Injustice," revolves around the extent of resources available to Lex Luthor after his release from prison. Despite having some savings that allowed him to hire professional assassins to intimidate the warden of Stryker's Prison during his incarceration, it is now suggested that Luthor's wife might have taken control of his business ventures, leaving him without access to his labs at LexCorp. As a result, his initial move, after threatening Lois Lane, is to launch a raid on Bruno Mannheim's covert laboratory.

7 What Is Lex Luthor's Endgame?

The extent of Lex Luthor's quest for revenge remains uncertain. Despite Lois Lane's recent reporting that cleared his name and secured his freedom, Luthor continues to hold her responsible for tarnishing his reputation. Furthermore, he harbors resentment towards Superman, commanding Lois to deliver the message that he will be the next target. While it is plausible that Luthor may concentrate his revenge on specific individuals to regain his standing as a respected business executive, it is equally likely that he may fully embrace his malevolent nature and wage war against society, driven by his absence of anything left to lose.

6 Will Jordan Reveal His Secret Identity To The World?

In the Superman and Lois season 3 episode titled "Injustice," Jordan Kent defies his parents' wishes to keep his superhero identity a secret. Initially, his rebellion is limited to defending a classmate who claims to have been saved by a superhero. However, things escalate when Jordan disobeys his father and publicly presents himself in front of a crowd after assisting Superman in stopping a tornado.

It is evident that Jordan relishes the attention and fame that come with his superpowers. However, a major concern arises regarding the strained relationship between Jordan and his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Cortez, who has suffered greatly in her efforts to protect his secret identity. After a heated argument with his parents about the necessity of secrecy, there exists a possibility that Jordan may choose to reveal himself to the world, if only to alleviate the burden on the girl he deeply cares for.

5 Can Jordan and Sarah Save Their Friendship?

The love story between Sarah and Jordan, two young characters in the series Superman and Lois, has been one of the significant subplots from the very beginning. However, their relationship took a turn in season 3 when Sarah expressed her desire to only remain friends after discovering the reason behind Jordan's frequent disappearances. Unfortunately, Jordan was unable to suppress his romantic feelings for Sarah, leading to a worsening tension between them throughout the season. This tension reached its peak during a heated argument in the episode "Injustice," where Sarah firmly told Jordan to stay out of her life. At this point, it seems unlikely that their romance will be reignited, but there may still be a chance to salvage their friendship.

4 Does Lex Know Clark's Secret Identity?

When Lois Lane was threatened by Lex Luthor, he paid no attention to Clark Kent except to silence him when Clark dared to speak up. This type of behavior is characteristic of Luthor's arrogance, as he considers Clark to be nothing more than a feeble individual who is not even worthy of his attention. It is interesting to note that in certain adaptations where they were not childhood friends, this perception exists. Ironically, Luthor's dismissive attitude towards Clark often leads him to disregard the idea that Clark could be Superman. He simply cannot conceive that someone as powerful as Superman would be leading such an ordinary life as Clark Kent's. However, it is plausible that Luthor intentionally overlooked Clark while threatening Superman, keeping his realization of Superman's secret identity, acquired during his time in prison, hidden from everyone.

3 Will Lex's Daughter Be Part of Season 4?

The third episode of season 3 of Superman and Lois, titled "Injustice," unveiled a surprising revelation – Lex Luthor, in this particular version, had a daughter. She was merely 14 years old when he was imprisoned. Almost nothing else is known about Luthor's daughter apart from the fact that she adamantly refused any contact with him during his 17-year prison sentence. This newfound information not only provides Lex with another motive for seeking revenge but also presents a compelling storyline for season 4 of Superman and Lois. Could Luthor's estranged daughter become an unexpected ally to the Kent family? Alternatively, she might hold the key to Luthor's potential redemption, representing his sole chance at reclaiming his lost humanity.

2 Will John Diggle Make An Appearance?

John Diggle, an ARGUS agent in both the Arrowverse and the world of Superman and Lois, was originally planned to star in a spinoff series called Justice U. This series would have followed Diggle as he led a team of young superheroes. The exact setting of the show, whether it would be on Earth-Prime or in the Superman and Lois reality, remains uncertain. Sadly, The CW decided not to move forward with the pilot, leaving the fate of Justice U hanging in the balance. However, there are rumors that John Diggle might make a cameo appearance in the season 3 finale of Superman and Lois, potentially setting the stage for the new show.

1 Will Matteo Get A Supersuit?

Matteo Mannheim, the son of Bruno and Peia Mannheim, had a fateful love story with Natalie Irons, marking one of the most heart-wrenching plotlines in season 3 of Superman and Lois. Caught between his affection for Natalie and the criminal actions of his parents, Matteo ultimately found redemption when his father made the decision to surrender to the Department of Defense, granting Matteo amnesty for his crimes. In the absence of his father, John Henry Irons assumed responsibility for Matteo, opening up the possibility for Matteo to become a part of the Irons family and embark on high-tech crime-fighting adventures with his very own supersuit.
