The idea of Superman & Lois’ place in the multiverse has been debated about at length in recent months, especially as the series has remained narratively disconnected from the other projects within The CW’s Arrowverse of shows, despite initially being interpreted as existing within the same universe. According to showrunner Todd Helbing, the narrative reason behind that will explained at the end of the season.
“All I’ll say is I think everybody has this question why we don’t bring up Supergirl or The Flash or any other heroes and aside from us not being able to do crossovers and wanting to put our own stamp on this property, I’ll just say at the end of this season you guys will get the answer to the questions you have,” Helbing said during an appearance at WonderCon earlier this year.
