Superman and Lois Lane Appearing in annual Arrowverse Crossover Event
by Neil Cole
The CW's annual Arrowverse crossover event will see the return of Tyler Hoechlin as Superman as well as the first appearance of Lois Lane.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Hoechlin is set to reprise his role as the Man of Steel in all three episodes of the crossover and will finally meet Grant Gustin's Flash and Stephen Amell's Green Arrow face to face.
“To see Flash and Superman together and to be one of the guys in the suits is something I’m definitely pretty excited about,” said Gustin in an interview with EW shortly after the news broke. “It did feel like something they would always save for the features, to be honest. But I feel like the Arrowverse has kind of been changing that stigma with the whole TV is the lesser medium. I think it kind of doesn’t matter these days with the streaming and content’s kind of everywhere. So, it is cool to see us kind of rise to even another level and bring all of us together for these crossovers. It’s pretty epic.”
In addition, the three night event will also feature the introduction of intrepid Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane who has been referenced on a few occassions over the years but never actually seen on screen. Casting for the role is scheduled to take place soon.
“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce Lois Lane to the Arrowverse,” said "Supergirl" executive producers Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner in a statement. “This dogged, determined and brave reporter will make for a strong partner to Superman and amazing addition to our universe of DC characters.”
This years Arrowverse crossover begins on Sunday, December 9th with "The Flash" at 8:00PM and then continues on Monday, December 10th at 8:00PM with "Arrow" before concluding the following night at 8:00PM with "Supergirl".
