Superman And Lois’ Unused, ‘Full’ Metal Go well with Simply Acquired Revealed, And Now I’m Extra Upset About Season 4 Getting Hit With Main Funds Cuts

Let me get one thing out of the way in which first: I adored the Superman & Lois collection finale and the way it gave good endings for the characters, although I do want Elizabeth Tulloch’s suggestion for that huge Lois Lane scene may have been integrated. Nevertheless, along with wishing that the showrunners’ authentic seven-season plan had come to fruition, it will have been good if Season 4 hadn’t been hit with main finances cuts by The CW. Now I’m much more upset about this after seeing the unused, “full” Metal go well with that Superman & Lois star Wolé Parks revealed.

Hailing from one other universe and initially decided to kill this universe’s Superman after seeing the destruction the Superman of his actuality unleashed, Parks’ John Henry in the end adopted in his comedian e book counterpart’s footsteps and have become one of many Man of Metal’s closest allies. Sadly, John Henry by no means donned a extra comics-accurate Metal go well with through the present’s run exterior of a fast scene within the collection finale, however Parks shared on his Instagram that such a go well with was certainly constructed for Superman & Lois:

Though John Henry Irons was seen briefly carrying a special Metal go well with whereas flying along with his daughter Natalie, Clark, Jonathan and Jordan (with the latter two lastly carrying their very own costumes) in one of many closing scenes in “It Went By So Quick”, this a a sensible creation we may have seen on Superman & Lois. Sure, the go well with seen on the prime of this text did its job throughout 4 seasons, for each John Henry and briefly Lex Luthor, however simply take a look at how carefully its successor resembles what Metal wears within the comics.

Alas, since Superman & Lois Season 4 needed to make due with considerably much less cash than what the earlier three seasons started working with (which additionally affected the primary forged), it simply wasn’t attainable to interrupt out this extra trustworthy Metal go well with on digital camera. This collection had already executed extremely nicely with adapting components of John Henry Irons from the comics and blended them in with authentic materials, and attending to see this armor in all its glory in episodes would have been the icing on the cake. Oh nicely, a minimum of we are able to all agree that this model of Metal was higher than the character’s live-action debut in 1997.
