KryptonSite has learned some new details about characters appearing in The CW’s Superman & Lois series.

While we have gotten word that characters such as Lana Lang, Martha Kent, and Sam Lane will be seen in The CW’s upcoming Superman & Lois TV series, KryptonSite has learned that a few icons from Superman’s past may be showing up in the series premiere, as we get some flashbacks to show how things got to the present day.

As always, things could change: After all, the original pilot script for Arrow made mention of Cat Grant of all people hosting on Channel 52; when the show went to series, that was not a thing, paving the way for Calista Flockhart who appeared on Supergirl. Also, with the greater DC landscape, permissions can and do change for which characters we are allowed to see.

So who might we see?

Jonathan Kent before his death: We’re not sure if we’ll see his death scene or possibly the moment that Jonathan and Martha Kent found baby Kal-El. In any event, the character – famously played in the past by such actors as Glenn Ford, Kevin Costner, John Schneider, and Eddie Jones — will likely make an appearance.

Perry White: Great Caesar’s Ghost, did you really think we wouldn’t see him?

Ron Troupe: A Daily Planet character that married Lucy Lane in the comics.

Max Mencken: A character mostly known from other media as a gossip reporter for the Daily Planet, he was played by Katie Cassidy’s grandfather Jack Cassidy in the musical “It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, It’s Superman!” Interestingly, Katie’s uncle Patrick Cassidy played Mencken in a stage production… and Patrick played Lana Lang’s biological father Henry Small in Smallville as well as a man who pretended to be Lex Luthor Jr. in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. And yet Marvel are the ones who claim “It’s All Connected!”

We hear characters like Pete Ross and Morgan Edge might at the very least be mentioned as well. Morgan Edge appeared on Supergirl where he was played by Adrian Pasdar; Pete, of course, was famously played by Sam Jones III on Smallville.
