5 Warning Signs The CW Is Plotting To Kill Superman In Crisis On Infinite Earths

When you're at the top, the only option left is to go down. It is an old troupe that when a character achieves picture perfect bliss before the story is over... watch out - the writers are setting the audience up for maximum grief.

Remember how Top Gun showed us what a happy family Goose had? That was right before they crushed his skull like an egg shell. Or in Unforgiven when Morgan Freeman chose happily ever after with his family over fighting? Always a mistake in a Clint Eastwood film. Elseworlds ended with Clark & Lois starting a family and looking forward to a safe future... or will they?

Clark is hanging up his cape because he now realizes just how much he has to live for. If this were a horror movie such a line of dialogue would be akin to saying "I'll be right back".

Clark is grilling, in full Superman costume with apron, before awkwardly popping the question to an excited Lois. She jumps into his arms, sending them to the floor kissing. This could have been a happily ever after ending to placate Superman fans, but the recent announcement of the "remix" death in Crisis makes this sweet scene only more ominous.
