Superman & Lois season 4, episode 9's ending.

Doomsday is now at its most powerful. Lex Luthor managed to kill the character once again in episode 9, thanks to Milton adding Kryptonite screws to Lex's stolen Steel suit, powering Doomsday up. On the other hand, Superman is at his weakest, with a scan by John Henry Irons revealing that Superman is losing his powers and his body is deteriorating because Sam Lane's heart is not compatible with the Kryptonian. While Doomsday's return spelled doom for Superman at first, as he can't beat it, I think Superman & Lois season 4 will go for a more hopeful story.

Doomsday Sacrificing Himself For Superman Would Be A Fitting Ending For The Superman & Lois Character

Bizarro Breaks Through To Find Redemption Again

While episode 9 made it seem like Doomsday could kill Superman again, I think that a popular theory about the character's role in Superman & Lois' series finale is going to pan out. Doomsday killing Superman has already played out in the show, so I can't see the team behind the series simply bringing the character back for another go at it. Instead, Doomsday's return could have more to do with the monster's arc, dating back to its days as Bizarro. Lois Lane previously got Doomsday to back down by reminding Bizarro of his past life with his family.

Lois did try to connect with the Bizarro part of Doomsday again in episode 9, but she was unsuccessful. However, I believe that by seeing Luthor destroying Smallville and targeting Lois, Jonathan, and Jordan, Doomsday will its family in the Inverse World. Having Doomsday not kill Clark but rather end up sacrificing its life for the DC hero would be an epic ending to his arc. It would allow Bizarro to fully redeem himself and also do the closest thing he can to make sure his family is happy. Doomsday's Kryptonian heart could restore Hoechlin's Superman to full health.

Superman & Lois' Lex Luthor Finale Fight Tease Suggests A Doomsday Plot Twist Is On The Way

The DC Series' Final Fight Focuses On Lex Luthor

Episode 9 made sure to show how Tyler Hoechlin's Superman is in no state to fight both Doomsday and Lex Luthor in the Steel suit. Clark reveals to his sons that he had a hard time with the Steel suit back when he was at full power, showing a weakened Superman would struggle against Lex. Then, Doomsday traded blows with the Man of Steel, leaving him bloody and whisking him away into the sky. However, I don't think that the Doomsday plot will take much time in the finale, and it's all due to Superman & Lois' series finale trailer.

The Superman & Lois series finale trailer mainly focuses on Clark Kent going up against Lex Luthor one final time. Doomsday is nowhere to be seen, and I think that suggests the character's role in the DC series' final episode will not be as big as some might expect. As seen at the end of episode 9, Clark is in no shape to successfully defeat Doomsday and then take on Lex Luthor. As Jonathan and Jordan are also not ready to beat the two villains, I think the Lex vs Clark fight will occur after something else happens with Doomsday.

I Hope Superman & Lois' Heroes & Villains Get The Sendoff They Deserve In The Show's Ending

The DC Series' Characters Deserve An Epic Ending

I hope that, no matter how long Doomsday's role is in the Superman & Lois series finale, the character will have a storyline that is worthy of Bizarro/Doomsday's trajectory in the DC series. That is true for all of Superman & Lois season 4's characters. The show had to limit how much time characters like Steel, Lana Lang, Kyle, Sarah, and more could have in the final season due to budget cuts. However, Steel actor Wolé Parks revealed to Screen Rant that all characters will appear in the final episode.

The Superman & Lois series finale trailer teased that, with both John Henry Irons and Lana Lang appearing in Smallville to help take down Lex Luthor. I'm not opposed to a sad ending, with Superman dying to save the world, or later if the Kents never find a way to get Clark a new heart, as long as it is done in the right way to honor these characters' development throughout the series. Lex Luthor's revenge arc also has to have an epic ending. If the Superman & Lois series finale does all of that, then I would love it.
