As Superman & Lois Season 4 approaches its thrilling finale, fans are left with one big burning question: Will Superman die? This season's battle between Superman and Doomsday has left fans wondering if Clark Kent will meet his end in the dramatic conclusion of Season 4.
Much of season 4 of Superman and Lois focuses on the battle between Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. It was always clear to the show’s fans that their paths would cross again once Lex was released from prison.
Superman & Lois Season 4 Episode 9, titled "To Live and Die Again," begins with a conflict between Lex Luthor and Superman. Doomsday's body heals and develops more spikes because of Lex’s boasts. The monster then goes on a rampage in Smallville, where Superman needs to come for rescue.
Their battle spills out of the city, and the series ends with Doomsday grasping Superman and flying off into the distance. Clark realizes that he is no longer strong enough to take on Doomsday and Lex alone. His sons are not yet ready to take up the mantle. Clark's death now looks even more likely in the season 4 finale of Superman & Lois.

Why is there a high possibility of Clark dying in Superman & Lois?
Superman is known by other names, including Clark. In the fourth season of Superman & Lois, fans get to see that Clark is no longer in his prime. He has succumbed to a bad injury in his last fight with Doomsday. Clark’s heart was crushed by Lex Luthor, and he underwent surgery and received a second heart from Sam Lane. The operation was successful, but Clark is still unable to heal as he once did over time.
Though he has survived, he has gotten weaker, and his powers have faded due to the human heart. On the other hand, Doomsday continues to grow stronger and now wears armor that can attack from inside Superman's body. Considering these factors, it is being speculated by the fans that Clark may sacrifice himself by the end of the series to kill Doomsday and Lex. Finally, it will allow his sons, Jordan and Jonathan, to continue the work of saving the Earth.
What is the other speculation derived from the final scene of Superman & Lois Season 4 episode 9?
Moments before Superman & Lois season 4 episode 9 ends, Lex uses the Steel Suit to mutate Doomsday. Superman, who is now already weak because of his past injury, is outmatched and has to face the villain alone. Jordan and Jonathan are also there but are focused on saving people.
In the climax, a battered and bloodied Superman stands ready to die again. As he utters his last words to his family, there is another attack made on the hero by Doomsday. In reality, the creators were determined to create suspense for fans to speculate what lay ahead in the fate of Superman.
This intense and frightening fight is a kind of build-up to the real battle that is yet to come. A snippet from the upcoming Season 4, Episode 10, "It Went By So Fast," suggests that another battle is yet to occur, which will be between Kal-El and Lex, who will be using a mechanical suit.
There is another speculated theory that Superman will defeat Doomsday with the help of his sons and then face Lex in a weakened state, thriving against all odds.
