Clark Kent fans rejoice! Supergirl’s equally super cousin/sometimes crime-fighting partner will be making a return in the upcoming season during the CW’s annual DC/WBT crossover special.

In May of last year, Tyler Hoechlin stated that he was “hoping” he would get to play Superman again and his comeback this time is also bringing along another familiar face: Lois Lane.

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce Lois Lane to the Arrowverse,” said Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner, who currently serve as the show’s executive producers, “This dogged, determined and brave reporter will make for a strong partner to Superman and amazing addition to our universe of DC characters.”

As of right now, no cast announcements regarding Lane have been officially made.

The crossover will take place over three nights starting with The Flash on December 9, Arrow on December 10 and will end with Supergirl on December 11.  Hoechlin’s Superman is expected to appear in all three episodes.
