The CW’s Superman & Lois series has been a hit with fans since its debut, and many are eagerly anticipating what’s in store for the show’s third season. Rumors have been swirling that the iconic DC villain Darkseid could make an appearance as the main antagonist. But is this really a possibility? Can Darkseid really be Superman & Lois Season 3’s villain? Let’s find out.
Who is Darkseid and why is he considered the ultimate antagonist in Superman stories?
Darkseid is a New God and the ultimate antagonist in Superman stories because he is the ruler of Apokolips, a desolate world that exists in contrast to the benevolent planet overseen by the Highfather. He is a murderous monster who takes pleasure in killing his enemies and turning entire worlds into hellish and apocalyptic landscapes.
What hints have been given about Darkseid potential appearance?
For a few reasons, it can be inferred that Darkseid may make an appearance in season 3 of Superman & Lois:
- During Dragon Con, David Ramsay hinted that Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman could face Darkseid, the most powerful foe in the Arrowverse.
- Actor Chad L. Coleman has confirmed his role as Bruno Mannheim, the leader of Intergang, to whom Darkseid provides advanced tech in the comics to take over the Earth.
Season 2 Connection
Moreover, the end of season 2 of Superman & Lois teased the arrival of a new threat to the show’s heroes. The final scene showed a group of mysterious aliens arriving on Earth. It’s possible that this new storyline could set up the arrival of Darkseid as the ultimate villain of the season.
If Darkseid does end up being the main villain, it would be an exciting development for the show. It would likely add a new level of intensity to the already action-packed series.
