At his funeral, his full name is revealed to be Henry James Olsen, not James Bartholomew Olsen. His camera is given to his younger brother. His name is not mentioned but the boy is wearing a bowtie[14] leading to the possibility this is the Jimmy Olsen that will befriend Superman.

So, I’d say you are on to something there. As far as his parents go, remember that he kept making excuses about them not being able to make pre-wedding stuff before finally coming clean about it. I don’t remember exactly what the explanation was, but I think it had something to do with his father being a d-bag and I think the brother is a stepbrother.

Lois didn’t necessarily go into the future. Remember that the ring takes the wearer to the time they think about and Lois is likely thinking back to a time before Davis takes Chloe, or really emerges as Doomsday, so that she can save her.

Lastly, I like the idea of bringing Zod back into the fold. Remember that in this continuity, Doomsday is Zod’s genetically bred offspring, so him getting into Davis’ body isn’t out of the question. Plus, they’ll need a big bad for next season since they supposedly killed off Lex, and if you ask me, Tess was kind of a dud as a big bad. That said, you are right, Doomsday is more powerful than Zod when it comes to raw power, but it isn’t really backed by much thought. Zod is a military general, so likely more dangerous, plus he has access to power that Clark still doesn’t, like flight. Maybe that’s the only one left really. They kinda bent the “No tights, no flights” credo, but they’ve been doing a lot more old school “leaps over tall buildings” these past two seasons, which was all the original Superman could do.
