Some highlights:
On how Clark has changed, Souders says, "The insecurity is gone, which is good. But the way that some of the world has turned -– and certainly the fact that some people, his compadres so to speak, have turned against him -– has taken its toll on him.”
Besides the physical manifestation of Darkseid, there will be other villains from the past. "Potentially, a lot of characters could come back," said Peterson.
The return of Lionel Luthor:
“Lionel Luthor (John Glover) is back, and he is bad-ass,” Peterson promises. While this is no outright resurrection — this Lionel crossed over from the alt-Earth visited in the episode “Luthor” –- there has to be some paperwork involved in him rejoining society, right? “He dots his i’s and crosses his t’s, so nobody questions things that much,” says Souders, “because he is that good.”
Tess' discovery that she's a Luthor:
“Tess is in a really interesting pickle,” Peterson attests. “She’s got the Luthor dynasty pulling her in one direction, and Clark and his friends in another.”
Lois' influence on Clark needing a separate identity:
“She’s kind of all over him as far as how he’s dressing, what his hair looks like… but for a very, very good reason,” says Souders. “Stay tuned — but if you’re a hardcore Superman fan, you’ll enjoy the ride. It’s a lot of fun.”
Final note from Souders: “There’s a lot of arcs within [the second half], but obviously the main arc is Clark eventually turning into Superman.”
