History ComicBook / SupermanLoisAndClark

* {{Spinoff}}: The limited series will lead to [[spoiler: ''Super Sons'', with the adventures of Damian Wayne and Jonathan White.]]

* OhCrap: Clark rescues a crashing space shuttle. As he throws open the door, his eyes go wide as he sees the nametag on the first astronaut out: [[spoiler:''HENSHAW''.]]

This, along with ''ComicBook/{{Titans Hunt|2015}}'', are both collected in trade as "Road to ComicBook/DCRebirth'' titles, since they both set up a new status quo of the DCUniverse -- namely that [[spoiler: the ComicBook/PostCrisis universe and The New 52 universe are one in the same]].

* TheBusCameBack: The entire premise of the book is the return of the fan-favorite Superman and Lois that fans had followed between 1986-2011. However, their old supporting cast is not returning. As well, it is unknown what happened to the pre-''Crisis'' Barry Allen, Kara Zor-El or Parallax. The first issue reveals that pre-''Crisis'' Kara and Barry no longer died in the ''Crisis'' and they and Parallax went off somewhere else while Clark and Lois were transported to the Earth Prime. In ''Green Lantern'', it is shown that Parallax is in this universe too.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Superman and Lois are refugees in the ''New 52'' universe. [[spoiler: According to ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', it's the opposite. The world changed on ''them''.]]

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Superman and Lois are refugees in the ''New 52'' universe.

* CanonImmigrant: A more literal example in that these are two characters from a past version of the DC continuity now forced to live in the current one.

* WhamEpisode: Issue #6 [[spoiler: has Jon bursting out of ropes using super-strength and showing an immunity/high tolerance to fire. Even more, Jon asks why [[ComicBook/SupermanTruth his dad looks like Superman and why Lois looks like the lady that outed him]].]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Issue #5 [[spoiler: had Jon listening into a conversation by Clark and Lois, with a close-up on his ear. It was unclear at the time whether it was super-hearing or not. Issue #6 confirms, yes, he was eavesdropping using super-hearing.]]
** Issue #5 also [[spoiler: had Batman catching a glimpse of Clark after the latter had saved the former from an arrow with heat vision. The cover of #8 features Batman, indicating that he may have figured everything out.]]

* MythologyGag / CallBack: Clark's black-and-silver Superman costume is a reference to the outfit he wore in ''ComicBook/ReignOfTheSupermen''.

Do not confuse with ''Series/LoisAndClark'', the TV show from TheNineties starring Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher.

* AuthorAppeal: The series is almost like reading the series from the early 1990's with the character as established by Jurgens and John Byrne.

* MysteriousProtector: Clark [[http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Superman-Lois-and-Clark-1-spoilers-review-6.jpg can't help but be a guardian]], even if it means no one knows he's doing it. Talk about the EternalHero.

* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:After Jonathan learns about his powers and who his father is, he calls his parents out on not telling him sooner. To their credit, they tell him that they had every intention to. They just didn't expect his powers to manifest so soon, as Clark's came later in life.]]

*** In "Green Lantern" it is shown that Parallax is in this universe too.

* CrapsackWorld: The initial assessment of the ''New 52'' Earth from the Kents, circa the formation of its Justice League, is that this is a very doubtful, suspicious, and edgy world with little trust given towards the superheroes that live in it, which is another reason Clark has needed to be more stealthy in his endeavors. May also count as LeaningOnTheFourthWall as the description Lois gives echoes the complaints fans have had about the direction of the ''New 52''.
** The reaction both Lois and Clark have to the events of [[ComicBook/SupermanTruth Superman:Truth]] also reinforces this assessment.

** The reaction both Lois and Clark have to the events of [[ComicBook/SupermanTruth]] also reinforces this assessment.

** The reaction both Lois and Clark have to the events of Superman: Truth also reinforces this assessment.

* RetiredBadass: Averted. Clark and Lois haven't stopped doing what they do to save the world, but they've had to do it more quietly. Clark's been averting disasters and making sure certain people don't become villains like they did in his universe, and Lois is a famous writer dubbed "Author X" responsible for exposing criminal organizations and illegal activity through her books.
