Lois Lane is as crucial to DC history as Superman, first appearing in what is generally considered ground zero for the entire superhero genre: 1938’s Action Comics #1. The book introduced both Superman and Lois to the world and, over the ensuing decades, Lois has risen from supporting character to co-headliner, and with good reason.
In the Golden Age and particularly in the Silver Age stories, Lois suspects that Clark Kent is Superman; however, Superman thwarted her suspicions. While this was sometimes played for humor, stories since the 1970s greatly decreased her interest in Superman's identity.
From Margot Kidder to Amy Adams, Lois has been played by a few A-listers on the big screen – but they weren’t the first choices for the role. Carrie Fisher was one of the actors considered to play Lois Lane in Richard Donner’s original Superman movie before Margot Kidder was cast.
Unable to see a place for her in Oliver's life, she rejects the chance to continue their romance. Several parodic or homage versions of Lois Lane have appeared in Marvel Comics, usually unnamed or with the first name Lois and no surname, and often in the company of a similarly unnamed Clark analogue.
As a female in what was essentially a man's profession at the time, Lois worked hard to showcase her talents as a legitimate reporter. She was brave, both sharp-witted and sharp-tongued, and ever-vigilante in her pursuit of the latest scoop. In fact, her career came first—with Superman in a distant second.
In The New 52 / DC You continuity, Clark & Lois aren't anything more than platonic. Clark has been seeing Wonder Woman for some time. Indeed, Clark is monumentally pissed at Lois at the moment. She embodies all of the things he admires; she's brave, fearless, intelligent and physically attractive.
No, it's revealed that the Stranger from another Earth present since the first episode of Superman & Lois is none other than John Henry Irons.
In the movie Lois finds out Clark's identity, and visits his mother Mrs. Kent. So, she knows exactly who he is.
The two have admitted feelings for each other in the past, but in the DC main universe, they admitted there were better off as friends - until DC's New 52. A relaunch of the entire DC universe, Superman and Wonder Woman became a couple, but Superman broke off the relationship due to his feelings for Lois Lane.

In most stories, Lois falls in love with Superman and only learns later that he's Clark Kent. However, in the current history of the character, Lois Lane started dating Clark Kent and fell in love with him before Superman. She only learned Superman was Clark Kent when Supes decided to tell her.
From the first moment she saw him, Lois was obsessed with Superman. Not in a romantic way. Rather, she wanted to know every little thing about the Man of Steel. Once he established himself as Metropolis' savior, Lois spent more time obsessing on him than looking for other stories.
Giving birth to Jon was one of the best things Lois ever did. It transformed her into not only a dedicated reporter but also a caring mother. What we want to know is how she gave birth to him?
This one utterly confuses us. General Sam Lane is, to put it mildly, a big jerk. In his New 52 form, his main goal was to capture and interrogate Superman. Even before that, he wasn't the nicest person to be around.
Neill played Lois on the 1950s Adventures of Superman television series featuring George Reeves as Kal-El.
Her independence and grit separated her from the pack, and for an entire generation who went without a Superman movie, Terri Hatcher is their Lois Lane.
The gung-ho reporter side of Lois was emphasized in the 90s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, even as the romantic aspect of her and Superman's relationship became much more front and center.
Debuting right along Superman in Action Comics #1 in June of 1938. From the beginning, Lois has been an intrepid reporter for The Daily Planet and the love interest of Clark Kent. Their relationship has been the standard by which many of the comic book relationships that followed are judged.
Though the films introduced some crazy concepts and didn't take advantage of all of the incredible talent at their disposal, there is no better representation of Lois Lane on screen or in the comics.
Her Lois is equally a throwback to earlier versions with her vaguely '40s Noir-ish depiction and the competitive streak of Margot Kidder (hey, she must be on this list somewhere!), but Delaney's Lois is much more her own woman.
Smallville was presented as a stripped-down take on the Superman legend, focusing on Clark's upbringing in his hometown. Necessarily, this left Lois out as he didn't meet her until he went to Metropolis and started working at The Daily Planet. But that didn't stop Lois from making her mark on the show.
Mischa Barton, Jennifer Connelly, Elisha Cuthbert, Claire Danes, Keira Knightley, and Catherine Zeta-Jones were also considered. Amy Adams also auditioned for the role in Superman Returns. She didn’t land the part, but she did end up playing Lois opposite Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent in Man of Steel.
Best known for appearing in the Mission: Impossible TV series, receiving an Oscar nomination for Victor/Victoria, and playing Miss Scarlet in Clue, Lesley Ann Warren was under consideration for the role of Lois Lane in 1978’s Superman: The Movie.
Nicolas Cage was cast to play Superman, while Chris Rock was the favorite for Jimmy Olsen and Christopher Walken was Burton’s choice to play Brainiac.
Åkerman wouldn’t have been the only Watchmen alum that Snyder brought into the DCEU. He later cast Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne in Batman v Superman ’s opening flashback.
Ben Sherlock is a writer, comedian, and independent filmmaker. He writes lists for Screen Rant and features and reviews for Game Rant, covering Mando, Melville, Mad Max, and more. He's currently in pre-production on his first feature film, and has been for a while because filmmaking is expensive. In the meantime, he's also in pre-production on various short films. Previously, he wrote for Taste of Cinema, Comic Book Resources, and BabbleTop. You can catch him performing standup at odd pubs around the UK that will give him stage time.
George Lucas was offered the chance to direct but turned it down to helm Star Wars. Plus, Christopher Reeve got into shape to play Clark Kent by training with Darth Vader actor David Prowse.
Superman was effectively the original superhero. Like George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, it defined the modern form of a concept that had been around for years. In that spirit, Lois Lane was effectively the original superhero love interest.
Lois Lane is as crucial to DC history as Superman, first appearing in what is generally considered ground zero for the entire superhero genre: 1938’s Action Comics #1. The book introduced both Superman and Lois to the world and, over the ensuing decades, Lois has risen from supporting character to co-headliner, and with good reason.
The responsibility of shaping Superman & Lois fell to writer and executive producer Todd Helbing, who served as showrunner on the fifth season of The Flash. Yet, it was a task that gave him pause when the job was first presented to him by DC TV maestro Greg Berlanti. “These shows are ginormous,” Helbing says.
Bringing the family back to Smallville means that Hoechlin has an opportunity to explore more facets of the character. There’s a long-running debate among Superman fans and creators about which of Superman’s identities is the “real” persona.
If he wasn’t Superman and he was just Clark Kent without the powers, he would be the same man. In other words, you don’t [need] powers to be good, decent, and kind.”. Lois Lane is an equally inspirational figure.
The premise that someone so powerful would choose to use that power solely for good is an optimistic one. Despite being one of the most powerful figures in the DC Universe, it’s Superman’s capacity to inspire hope that is his defining characteristic.

To hear Hoechlin tell it, it’s far more complicated than that. “There is Superman at the most extreme, when no one knows him as anything other than [a hero],” Hoechlin says of his approach to the character. “There’s Superman when he’s around people who are aware that he’s more than just Superman.
So let us tell you about the time in 1979's Superman Family #196 when Clark Kent gets wrangled into judging a dance competition by “The Clark Kent Fan Club” (yep, that's a thing) only to find himself tangled up in a high stakes discotheque feud. Using his X-ray vision, Clark realizes the club he's at is rigged with explosives. Unable to turn into Superman without giving away his secret-identity, Kent does what any undercover superhero would do - the disco.
The great thing about Superman is that he has so many different options for solving problems. Take this jar of jelly beans for example. He could easily use his x-ray vision to figure out how many there are inside, but instead, he decides to turn his arm into a scale and calculate weight differentials.
When pushed to an extreme limit and made really, really angry, Supes can unleash the energy stored within his cells to emit a red burst of solar flare awesomeness that incinerates anything in the immediate vicinity. Think heat vision, only coming out of every inch and orifice of his body. And we mean every orifice.
Lois, never one to turn down making out with a man, promises to give Clark a “thrill” by kissing him “as if he were Superman.”. Jokes on you, minx. Never one to miss an opportunity to violate someone with his lips, Clark decides to teach Lois a lesson in promiscuity by smooching the life-force right of her.
If that's not enough, there is Superman's tactile telekinesis - the ability to move an object with the power of your mind merely by touching it. If we're being honest, this doesn't sound all that super. But it's actually what allows him to lift an entire airplane by its nose without splitting in half, and fly.
If he can control minds, it only follows that Superman can also control objects using nothing but his super-powered thoughts. Like that one time he levitated Lois so he and Jimmy Olsen could use her floating body as a platform to escape a pit during an episode of Adventures of Superman. Or how about when he was younger and mysteriously started moving criminals electromagnetically in The New Adventures of Superboy #11 . And who can forget when he rebuilt the Great Wall of China just by staring at it during Superman IV? No, sadly, we will never forget that.
As if Lois didn't have enough reasons to be self-conscious, now she's got to worry about Superman getting grossed out by her pores. Of course, that's not all Superman's orbs can do. They also register infrared and ultraviolet light, as well as possess telescopic vision.
