Superman & Lois Is Already Proving How Wrong The Flash Got Season 6
Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Superman and Lois season 2, episode 5, «Girl… You'll Be A Woman, Soon.»
Superman and Lois season 2 seems to be recycling the Mirror Monarch storyline from The Flash season 6, but presenting it in a better way. The comparison seems apt given that both plotlines feature a female villain with plans for world domination and a warped version of Earth-Prime in another dimension. However, Superman and Lois' Ally Allston (Rya Kihlstedt) has been more firmly established as a sinister presence, whereas Mirror Monarch's storyline was more ambiguous and, ultimately, confused.
Superman and Lois season 2 has presented a number of complex plotlines and fake-outs in its first five episodes. Chief among these was the setup for what was thought to be the premiere of the Arrowverse version of Doomsday, instead introducing Bizarro Superman. The season has chronicled Superman hunting his strange doppelganger, as Lois Lane faces the threat of legal action from Ally Allston, the same self-help guru who brainwashed her sister. The two storylines came to be connected in the final moments of Superman and Lois season 2, episode 5, «Girl… You'll Be A Woman, Soon,» after the Man of Steel found a way to communicate with Bizarro and learned that he had come to Earth-Prime to save it and his dimension from Ally Allston, who was said to have taken over the United States and possibly the entire Bizarro World.
