BvS Amy Adams IS Lois Lane - Part 1

[John-An]

She looked pretty pale in the scene as did Cavill.

I see that correct.. not so overmake-up.. pretty realistic

 

[MrMaooz]

Huh?

 

[John-An]

Huh?

Yeah that you can relate her in the real world

 

[MrMaooz]

I wasn't talking about makeup. I was talking about the fact that the color palette and lighting in the scene made them both look really pale.

a little bit more of lighting could be great

Henry: “So, here we are. In the Daily Planet. It’s that key moment of you finally get to see Clark as traditional Clark everyone expects him to see at the beginning of the movie. This is really important fase, because Lois is the only person who know who I am.

Talk to me about our first interaction in the office when you actually trying to play cool”

Amy: “I actually love that moment for Lois and Clark. I think it sets up really great their future relationship is gonna be. We get a peek inside, it’s like we’re revealing a secret to the audience that only we know.

Henry: “Right, and Lois is one the major reasons why Kal chose earth. And it’s that wonderful purity that friendship, that honesty with each other they probaly haven’t experienced with anyone else.”

 

[sf2]

Huh... since they talked about purity of friendship, do u think it's good for them to stay as friend... u know the scare of broke up and u might not be good friend anymore.

n shouldn't lois have a boyfriend, u know a pretty girl like her...

I really doubt that Lois and Clark will stay "platonic friends" within this franchise.

It was pretty obvious that the two will be becoming more than that within the near future.

Heck, didn't Goyer say within an interview awhile back that by the time we see Lois and Clark again within this franchise, they'll be in a "real" relationship? I'm pretty sure he said that, one where Lois will be helping Clark to keep his secret from people.

They're not Lana and Clark from "Smallville", so we shouldn't have to worry about them doing the whole "will they or won't they" teen angst routine.

 

[Loki882]

Yeah, I agree. I fully expect them to be dating by the time of the next movie.

 

[Herolee10]

If anything, the kiss between them was likely a way for the filmmakers to seal the deal for the audience that the two will be romantically involved within the imminent future and won't stay "platonic friends" for very long.

I wouldn't be surprised if for the next film, Lois and Clark have to potentially go into hiding together if both Lex and Batman are hunting them down, but for different reasons.

 

[DA_Champion]

Amy Adams has a lot of colour that didn't make it through Zach Snyder's choice of colour palette.

 

[Loki882]

She looked just fine in MOS, and by just fine I mean beautiful. Oh Henry, you are such a lucky man. Amy is your love interest, Diane Lane is your adopted mother, you got punched in the face by Antje, and you had two Robin Hood's as fathers.

 

[MrMaooz]

She did look fine, but not to her fullest potential. The color in the movie was pretty dull.

 

[Loki882]

Lois Lane isn't a supermodel, and shouldn't be depicted as such. She's a career woman who is very attractive, but not supermodel hot. The movie portrayed that very well.

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

Lois Lane isn't a supermodel, and shouldn't be depicted as such. She's a career woman who is very attractive, but not supermodel hot. The movie portrayed that very well.

See here's the thing about that, everyone says exactly that and while it does make sense, her source material has always countered that statement.

Even in her original appearance in the late 1930's she was depicted as someone as beautiful as a supermodel (for her time) and has continued like that till today.

Not saying that it's wrong that they tried to make it believeable, just saying

 

[Loki882]

What qualifies as "supermodel hot" is entirely subjective. None of those Lois depictions struck me as being "supermodel hot" just very attractive.

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

The black and white drawing of her that floats around thr internet from back in the 30's makes her look like Jessica Rabit. In TAS she was beautiful. I don't read comics but I have seen pix of her throughout the years where she definitely is not unattractive, most guys would say she is hott.

 

[DA_Champion]

Lois Lane is quite beautiful in most comics:

Not sure what's up with saying "she's not supposed to be a supermodel"... LL, like any female comic book character, would easily stop traffic if she were a real person, actually she'd look hotter than a lot of supermodels, many of whom look like sick stick figures and you can count the bones on their spinal chords because they're too thin.

You should read this 1,1100 page comic book omnibus:
http://www.amazon.com/Superman-The-...1&keywords=death+and+returns+superman+omnibus

It's actually a very good Lois Lane story, and also several other characters, including Superman obviously. Contrary to what fanboys might tell you, doomsday is a minor character.

That was the first comic book I read properly in years.

 

[Loki882]

I never said that she's wasn't beautiful, I said that she was several times in fact, I simply said that she wasn't "supermodel hot" in my opinion. That doesn't mean that she isn't beautiful, there's a difference.

 

[The Guard]

This is kind of a silly debate. Artists draw almost everyone "beautiful" in a comic book unless they're specifically supposed to be otherwise, especially love interests.

Heck, Jim Lee's Alfred Pennyworth is ripped.

 

[Superherofan123]

Amy has great legs! You can really tell in the pic from the blu ray at the top.

 

[MrMaooz]

Yeah, they are fine.

That's actually not true at all.

I think people are really misunderstanding the issue here.

Lois Lane is beautiful. By any normal people standards, she is a beautiful woman. But she exists in a world of Superman and Superman is not just handsome by "normal" standards---Superman is arguably supposed to be the most beautiful man in the world.

The way Lois is depicted in comics changes depending on the artist. Some artists, like Jim Lee and Ed Benes (who drew two of the pictures that are featured here), are notorious for exploiting pretty much every single female they draw. Jim Lee's art is gorgeous but he's never been my favorite artist for women for exactly this reason.

Most famous Superman artists like Dan Jurgens portray her as a beautful women, yes....but beautiful in the way that you might see in real life. Many times, she is drawn as less "obviously" beautiful or glamorous as other women like Lori Lemaris or even Lana Lang. Sometimes this was achieved through her clothing as she was often in very serious "work woman" clothing when the other women were presented with more obvious make-up. In the 1930's, she was supposed to be "sexy" because she was aggressive and strong but was not actually supposed to be supermodel beautiful. Joanne Carter herself was a really lovely woman but was lovely in a "real" way which did influence the character going forward.

When you compare the way she's often portrayed to say, Wonder Woman, the difference is clear.

Wonder Woman is supposed to be a nearly perfect physical specimen. (Using the narrow way in which Western culture defines beauty of course.) She is supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Tall. Perfect huge breasts. Perfect long legs. Perfect long hair all the time. Perfect face. Perfect. She was created as literally the female version of Superman which is why they look like brother and sister. Wonder Woman was not created to be Superman's PARTNER. No. She was created to literally share the same role as Superman as a woman. That's why they look so much alike---it was a purposeful design. (Also why any romantic relationship between them, to me, always reads to incestuous. Bc that was the point.)

Lois' appearance has changed over the years and she has always been attractive. But you'll notice slight differences in the way she's drawn when you compare her to Wonder Woman. For example, if you read the famous "Day in the Life of Wonder Woman" issue by Phil Jiminez/Joe Kelly that features Lois and Diana...you'll see that Diana is drawn as slightly more striking, taller and with a larger chest than Lois. She's drawn as more idealized while Lois is drawn as more "normal" attractive.

The beauty dynamic with Superman and Lois Lane is reversed. You are used to seeing show after show and movie after movie where the woman is revered for her beauty. The Superman mythos is a twist on this because, for once, it's the MAN in question who is the "great beauty" and the woman who truly is valued more for her personality than for her great beauty. We aren't used to seeing this but this is one of the reasons why the Superman/Lois relationship is a reverse from the usual gender dynamics.

Consequently, many of the women who have played Lois Lane have been really beautiful. Who is the "most" beautiful is going to vary depending on what your personal tastes are but they are all beautiful. But they are all, imo, beautiful in an attainable way. As a woman, I can look at Teri Hatcher or Erica Durance or Amy Adams or Noel Neill as a young woman etc. and think, "I could be that person. I could be Lois Lane." And that's the point. Lois is an extraordinary, incredible idea about a "real" woman come to life. Idealized? Sure. But real.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster weren't in love with a movie star or a supermodel. They longed for a real woman that they KNEW. Subsequently, Clark Kent isn't supposed to lust over the supermodel or the most beautiful woman in the world. He's supposed to be in love with the woman who sits one desk over---beautiful but real. (I would suggest reading the amazing biolgraphy "Superboys" by Brad Ricca if you want more info. on this. Fascinating.)

Lois Lane is beautiful. She's sexy. She'e extremely attractive. But she's supposed to be the kind of beautiful that you might actually find in a normal office or on a city street. Striking? Yes. Beautiful? Yes. But not so completely unattainable that you can't imagine that you are her. Bc she's the extraordinary "mortal" who captures the heart of the most powerful and beautiful man in the world. She's a rare female character who isn't defined by her physical appearance and shouldn't be because it truly defeats the purpose of the character and why Clark loves her above all.

Lois Lane is quite beautiful in most comics:

This is one of the pix I flash to when people say Lois isn't supposed to be beautiful. She is a perfect 10 in this picture. Looks similar to the black and white picture where she looks like Jessica Rabbit. In comics and cartoons she is beautiful.

This is #1 pic I flash to when people say she isn't supposed to be a supermodel. I don't know exactly where it's from but apparently it's an early design of the woman who Lois was based on.
