“when you publish a character for 75 years you gotta keep it young and fresh so it’s not about Superman and Lois today. It’s Superman and Wonder Woman. And that’s really rubbed a lot of purists the wrong way, but we love the controversy. We love the debate. We love the fact that people have either sided with TeamLois or TeamWonderWoman and it’s one of the things we used to keep interest in what we’re publishing in the books today. “
According to @JimLee we’re PURISTS now. That’s the awful term he has applied to those of us who don’t want to see two female icons pitted against each other just for the sake of controversy. You have his twitter account, go say something!
Happy Birthday Lois and Clark!
“A Man. I’m a man who can fly…But it’s this woman who sweeps me off my feet.”
Today’s the day! TONIGHT from 7-9pm EST we honor Lois Lane’s 75th anniversary with a Twitter trending party.

Add #LoisLane75yrs to your tweets at that timeLois Lane is nothing if not determined. She is a survivor who’s been there with Superman through thick and thin since the beginning. Let’s show the Twitterverse that Lois fans share her passion for truth and justice. What truth? That Lois Lane was the only iconic character other than Superman to debut in Action Comics #1 on April 18, 1938. What justice? DC Comics has hinted that Lois won’t receive the same honor Superman’s nemesis, Lex Luthor, will receive when the company celebrates Superman in the next few months, even though Lois predates Luthor. This cannot stand. Lois Lane’s legacy deserves to be honored and respected.
DO’S and DON’TS of Trending
- DON’T use the #LoisLane75yrs tag before the time of trending (if you do, you’ll make it harder to trend later)
- DON’T include any other tags in your #LoisLane75yrs tweets or repeat the tag multiple times
- DON’T make your tweets worthless by tweeting the same tweet repeatedly or use any tweets with just one word and the tag. >2 words + tag = TREND
- DON’T use an automatic tweet scheduler; your tweets won’t count at all if you do
- DO unlock your account if it’s private so your tweets will count
- DO interact with your fellow trenders and periodically click on the #LoisLane75yrs tag to manually retweet others’ tweets (i.e. type “RT” on a copied tweet instead of using the “Retweet” button)
- DO visit this site for more detailed instructions
- DO use one of the pre-made icons for this event, which you can find here (new Man of Steel ones have been added)
- DO take some time before trending to draft some pre-made tweets
Lois Lane actresses Dana Delany (Superman: The Animated Series), Teri Hatcher (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), and Erica Durance (Smallville) have spread the word about this event. Upcoming Superman: Unchained writer Scott Snyder has also taken note of the trending party. How awesome is that?
So, please join us, tweet what you can, show your support, and most of all have FUN! We can do this. WE CAN DO THIS FOR LOIS LANE!
OH MY GOD!! LOIS LANE IN THE TRAILER!!
SHE’S PERFECT!
HER VOICEOVER… HER DIALOGUE!!!
SHE MADE SUPERMAN SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!
the banter!! the chemistry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, @ScottyLobdell wrote Superboy #19.So you just knew something bad was gonna happen to Superman/Lois
I finally read the entire issue and while at first I was like “lol! Kon is a clois baby” I later realized that while explaining Superboy’s origin Lobdell basically establishes the AWFUL notion that Superman& Lois will never, ever conceive a healthy child because he will start having serious health problems which will lead to his death (Jon Lane-Kent), so, the only way for Superman to have a child is to be with, Wonder Woman, uh? I guess there goes the hope for a Lane-Kent union someday!
And so, as Harvest says… coming back to the present and seeing SM/WW together could mean that the future where he got together with Lois could be changed right? oh yeah, because SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN hooking up is what will save the world from the HORROR that was created in that world full of wars and metas because he married and had a child with Lois Lane.
come on!
Clark Kent & Lois Lane: Superman Birthright & Smallville
(via babettew54)
“Lois Lane. Didn’t you used to be somebody? why aren’t you on the trail of some U.F.O. or crop circle or some other oogity-boogity? slow news day? Six months ago you had a reputation. You had respect, but that was before you locked onto some fairy tale and began following so-called “leads” all over the world. A gravity-defying strong-man in Khakis and a leather jacket who does “good deeds”. Do you realize your co-workers call this “Lois Lane’s loony lark”? “Says Lane, ‘you’ll believe a man can fly!’“ “
