In the final episode of season 1, Superman defeated his brother Tal-Rho and was able to stop him from placing Kryptonian consciousness in the people of Smallville. In season two, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, their family, and the residents of Smallville are all trying to move on from the fallout of Morgan Edge’s attempted conquest of their small town. But peace and harmony do not last long, as a new adversary emerges, one of the toughest opponents Superman has yet faced: his inverse self, Bizarro, whose presence generates a number of unanswered questions. And Clark, Lois, and Bizarro also face a common enemy in cult leader Ally Alston. See a special video presentation followed by a Q&A with the executive producer and series stars (participants to be determined) of Superman and Lois at their WonderCon debut. The cast includes Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Jordan Elsass, Alex Garfin, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Wolé Parks, Tayler Buck, Sofia Hamsik, with Dylan Walsh and Emmanuelle Chriqui.
