Clark Kent scolds his son Jordan for using his powers publicly on Superman & Lois, which mirrors Jonathan Kent's controversial advice in Man of Steel.
Superman & Lois brings Jonathan Kent’s controversial Man of Steel line into season three. Superman & Lois introduces Clark Kent as being both a full-time superhero and a full-time family man. One of the major challenges that have come with that has been Clark raising his teenage son Jordan Kent as he has begun to develop Kryptonian superpowers.
By the end of Superman & Lois season two, Jordan’s powers have developed to be nearly commensurate with those of his father. However, Jordan still diligently trains under Clark’s tutelage to harness his Kryptonian abilities, with his father remaining highly protective of his son’s safety. In Superman & Lois’s season three premiere, Clark’s protectiveness even comes to echo that of Jonathan Kent in Man of Steel when he reprimands Jordan for saving a tower from collapsing.
This is markedly similar to Man of Steel’s controversial Jonathan Kent in the movie's flashback to Clark Kent’s childhood after Clark pulls a school bus from being submerged in a lake. His adoptive father expresses concern that Clark came close to exposing himself to the world, leading to his controversial “maybe” reply when Clark asks if he should have let the kids aboard the bus die. Fundamentally, Jonathan in Man of Steel and Clark in Superman & Lois are coming from the same place.
Clark's Concern Is The Same As Jonathan's In Man Of Steel Both Clark and Jonathan are fathers naturally concerned for their son’s well-being. However, they have even more reason for their concern due to their respective son’s metahuman powers and the ramifications for their lives if they were to be discovered by the world.
Neither Jonathan nor Clark is opposed to the idea of their sons saving lives, but they both understand the potential blowback both of their sons could face at such a young age. In Man of Steel, Clark must have both the wisdom to use his power and the confidence that he can trust the world that he is not a threat. In Superman & Lois, the same proves to be true in how Clark views Jordan’s growing powers.
