Superman & Lois season 3 finale ends in a dramatic battle with Doomsday

As the teaser of Superman & Lois S3 released by CW shows, the suspended battle between the flying superhero and the transformed super-villain in the finale has the whole town gaping. Doomsday, who was created by Lex Luthor after Bizarro came back from the dead, aligned with Luthor in an alternate universe and Luthor killed him again and again, increasing his powers each time.

In the Superman & Lois S3 season finale, Doomsday and Superman have an end-all fight, leaving Jordan worrying that he couldn’t hear his father’s heartbeat. While the Kryptonian was pulled out into space by the villain, he woke up from his stupor and punched Doomsday, sending him to the surface of the moon.

As such, Doomsday cannot be killed, as the caped hero finds out. The scene ends with both the massive strong men hurtling towards each other.

In the comics, the fight ended with Doomsday being killed by the hero while the Kryptonian was mortally wounded. However, in the Superman & Lois series, fans will have to wait to know what would happen to the superhero next, including coming face-to-face with Lex Luthor.

Assuming the season 4 storyline would be as exciting as its predecessors, Superman may come back to fight or have his family fight the mega villain.
