The CW's upcoming
Superman & Lois has found the couple's Super Sons, as Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin join the Arrowverse series as the couple's young sons.
Deadline reports Elsass will play Jonathan, who is described as "clean-cut, modest and kind-hearted, with an aw-shucks attitude that somehow doesn’t seem dated." Garfin will portray Jordan, who is "wildly intelligent, but his mercurial temperament and social anxiety limits his interactions with people, and consequently, Jordan prefers to spend most of his free time alone, playing video games." The site also reports that Jonathan and Jordan are believed to be twins

Elsass’ Jonathan is clean-cut, modest and kind-hearted, with an aw-shucks attitude that somehow doesn’t seem dated. Garfin’s Jordan is wildly intelligent, but his mercurial temperament and social anxiety limits his interactions with people, and consequently, Jordan prefers to spend most of his free time alone, playing video games.
Written by Helbing, based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster,
Superman & Lois revolves around superhero Superman and journalist Lois as they deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.
Lois Lane’s pregnancy was revealed in last season’s Arrowverse crossover,
Elseworlds. By the start of this season’s
Crisis on Infinite Earths five-part event, the Kents were a family of three with the addition of their infant son, Jon. in Part 3 of
Crisis, Lois, Clark and their baby were wiped out by the Anti-Monitor. The universe was eventually saved — and reset — with changes. They included Superman and Lois having two teenage boys in a post-
Crisis world.
The development was revealed in the final Part 5 of of
Crisis on Infinite Earths, which set up
Superman & Lois. In it, Lois called Clark, asking him to get to Metropolis right away. “It’s the boys,” she said.
“Your sons.”
