Theatrical Release Information:
Lois & Clark: Season 02

Season one of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman ended as Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher), star reporter for the "Daily Planet," was on the verge of marrying Lex Luthor (John Shea), Metropolis' wealthiest and most beloved philanthropist -- while super-powered Superman (Dean Cain) had taken flight with evidence that Luthor was in fact a master criminal. As season two opens, the wedding is broken up and the disgraced Luthor (apparently) commits suicide, leaving Lois to continue her efforts to win the heart of her fellow reporter Clark Kent -- never suspecting that Kent and Superman are one and the same. The Lois-Clark romance is placed in jeopardy by Clark's constant disappearances whenever danger threatens; unaware that Clark is making his traditional transformation into "Man of Steel" Superman, poor Lois concludes that she isn't all that important to him! Also, Lex Luthor seemingly rises from the dead mid-season to cause more trouble for the benighted couple. Season two marks the first appearance of Justin Whalin as cub reporter-photographer Jimmy Olsen, replacing season-one's Michael Landes, whom the producers decided was too old for the role. Also, a number of formidable villains arise to take the place of the nearly departed Luthor, notably The Prankster (Bronson Pinchot) and the various minions of "Intergang." The season arrives at its cliffhanger finale as Clark Kent prepares to reveal his secret identity to Lois, and to ask for her hand in marriage -- only to head "up, up, and away" once more, this time to rescue his adoptive parents (K Callan, Eddie Jones) from kidnappers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
