Lois Lane's NEW Boyfriend

[The Toyroom]

^ Byrne already touched on that waaay back in "Action" #600...as did Waid & Ross in "Kingdom Come"...Not really NEW thinking there DC

[thunderbolt]

is that Perez art in those pages? If so, it looks a lot like old timey Byrne work.

Geez DC has turned Superman into an eavesdropping perv.

I didn't think he could help hearing them. He wasn't standing there spying on them.

Stupid. Lois is reduced to a tramp now. You're better off without her Clark! There's plenty of single hotties in the JLA!

She and Clark never got together in this version of the DCU. She seems to be in a relationship with the blonde guy. While I'm not defending this change, I don't see how that makes her a tramp.

So did Miller in the Dark Knight 2 book.

I think it's from "Superman" and Perez is scripting..he may also be doing layouts and someone else is doing the pencils. It does seem to have his influence though doesn't it...

Totally agreed. She's single, middle-aged, and 'found a friend'.. What's wrong with that..? It's what goes on in life.

Being 'trampy' has more to do with attitude than single situations.

I've always thought of Lois as being street-smart & worldly, but pure. I guess tramp was harsh, but it irks me. After 20+ years of a married couple, I don't want to see Superman's wife/girlfriend in a hookup with anyone but The World's Greatest Hero. One of the reasons the Singer movie sucked for me.

True...Maybe they'll get there eventually but the dynamic has ALWAYS been Superman/Lois Lane/Clark Kent no matter which way you spin it...

There's been "milksop" Clark and "nosy" Lois with her super hair-cutting scissors...Even "Smallville" put a new angle on it with Lois learning Clark's secret and helping him toward his destiny as Superman (though she bumped uglies with Green Arrow along the way)...But at the core it's always been Lois & Clark.

It's not like Spider-Man who has been involved with Gwen Stacy, Betty Brant and Mary Jane Watson all at different pivotal points of his career...But even there he was married to MJ for over 20 years too.

It's a Catch-22..these companies don't want to seem stagnant so they keep the soap opera element going to its logical conclusion, i.e. the Super-marriage but then instead of thinking outside the box and coming up with ways to keep the current continuity interesting they opt for the easy out of the "reboot" and drag the character (and fans) screaming back to the beginning again and again. It gets old...

Lois is not a tramp she's now a cougar......

[Earth 2 Chris]

Ugh.

Hmmmm....

I dunno; it smacks of all them 60's "I've found someone NEW; Superman!" stories.

Exactly. Heaven forbid the characters grow past that and stay in a committed relationship.

I'm just going to pretend none of this ever happened. Just like DC will in a year or two.

[palitoy]

There's nothing trampy about Lois having a beau, the good folks at DC have just discovered something....... 60s Marvel comics.
