NRAMA: Lois new do your idea or Carlos?
KDB: I think giving her a new look was Matt's idea, and Carlos came up with this particular look. I like it to me, it says "smart, savvy, sophisticated city woman," which gives a nice contract with small-town-raised Clark. Lois and Clark have always been about the clever, sophisticated gal and the earnest, heart-on-his-sleeve guy, and playing that up visually works for me.
NRAMA: Lois & Clarks relationship how important is it to the larger picture of Superman? Obviously, it wasnt something that was there for the first
what
60 years, but now, its an unshakable part of the mythos. For you, how did you tackle the idea of a married Superman? It seems like something where cliché is always knocking at the door
KDB: Does it? I don't really see how it's cliché in a way that, say, the old romantic triangle isn't. I think there's a lot to be had from both setups and lots and lots of people in the world are married without it being clichés.
I simply assume that Clark and Lois have a strong relationship, and roll from there. I can't see doing stories where Lois *****es about him being Superman aside from the fact that she knew that when she married him, she approves of it. And I can't see doing jealousy stories how dumb do you have to be to think Superman Superman, of all people could be untrustworthy?
So they love each other and they play off each other nicely he's all heart, masking a keen brain, she's all brain, masking a warm heart. She's sarcastic, he's earnest. They both don't quit 'til the job's done. They're fun to write.
