I Don"t Think Superman & Lois Is Going To Address Its Major Missing Character Story Before The Show Ends

:0:0

Superman and Lois has told an incredible story, but the final season of the DC Universe series has seemingly been impacted by some cast departures, one of which has left me very confused. After the events of Superman & Lois season 4, episode 7, it seems like one glaring story omission won"t be addressed in the series. With all that has happened to Clark and Lois’ family, including fundamental changes to Superman"s story and several major character deaths, it remains to be seen if a key family member has been entirely forgotten.
The importance of family has been perhaps the biggest recurrent theme in Superman & Lois. The titular characters" sons and their blossoming powers have been incredibly important to the series, and the impact the family"s bonds will no doubt be a focal part of the show"s final episodes. Following this, it feels even stranger that a significant member of the Superman family and the series as a whole has not been mentioned in some time.
Lois Lane's Sister Is Notably Missing From Superman & Lois Season 4 Lucy's Absence From Season 4 Raises A Number Of Questions Close Lucy Lane, a character who has previously assumed the mantle of Superwoman in the comics, has not been featured as a part of the Superman & Lois season 4 cast. While Lucy only made a scant few appearances in season 2 of the show, the fact of the matter is that she is still a part of Superman and Lois" family. As a result, I believe that not acknowledging her place in their lives feels strange. As Superman reveals his identity to the world, the implications of this event on Lucy seem like they should be an essential part of the story.
Jenna Dewan as Lucy was one of the few characters that was not recast for the series from previous appearances in the Arrowverse, and perhaps this speaks to not having any important plans for the character. While an entire arc could have been built up around Lucy, it seems she was only destined to be part of a brief story featuring the Inverse Society. With that story at its end, Lucy is now off living her own life in ways that I feel are entirely disconnected from Superman and Lois.
Sam Lane's Superman & Lois Death Makes Lucy Lane's Missing Story Weirder Lucy Lane's Reaction To The Loss Of Her Father Is A Startling Omission Close This omission becomes most strange when recognizing that Sam Lane"s death would have impacted Lucy deeply. As one of Superman & Lois" lasting deaths, the repercussions of this loss have been enormous. Sam’s death involves a long speech he recorded for Lois before his death that doesn"t mention his other daughter, and he even left the titular characters with an important inheritance, influencing their position with the Smallville Gazette. However, none of these events in the series seem to have anything to do with Lucy, leading me to wonder if the showrunners have forgotten her.
It would make sense that this inheritance, and the loss of Sam, would have involved Lucy Lane to some extent. Instead, the character has not even been directly mentioned in season 4. These plot details make it seem as if the series has chosen to ignore her for the rest of its run. While this is more than likely due to scheduling or budgeting issues, it does seem like a notable omission to not even discuss Lucy in the final episodes of the show. Fortunately, there is still room for this to happen.
Superman & Lois Season 4's Ending Is The Last Chance To Balance Out Its Weird Missing Character Story The Season 4 Finale Is Set To Feature The Entire DC Cast Close There is still some hope that Superman & Lois" ending could bring a conclusion to Lucy"s story as well as to the other more focal characters. Comments were previously made about the whole cast returning in the Superman finale, and it would make sense to include Lucy in this ultimate culmination. Her role was important to the Arrowverse as a whole, and featuring her in the final scenes of this series in some capacity, especially in a series where family is so important, would feel apt.
At the very least, Superman & Lois should address the character"s whereabouts. It is not imperative that Jenna Dewan reappear in the show, but even an offhand comment about Lucy and what she is doing would go a long way in making her omission feel more natural. With Superman"s unmasking, and the loss of her father, it seems glaring to not even take the time to acknowledge how important any of this would have been for Lois" sister.
