Maybe marriage was considered a sign of maturity in previous generations. But now that the world has discovered that divorce is a solution to the problem that is marriage, I don't believe it is mature to marry at all. Superman needs to change with the times. Marriage is an act of stupidity now.
That may be for you, but the last time I checked, there were still a hell of a lot of people who still believed that Marriages meant something special in a persons' journey through life.
I see DC's line of thinking with this. Look at all the great fictional American male heroes (not just Batman). None are really tied down with relationships and marriage.
In fact, it was extremely controversial when George Lucas made Indiana Jones get married at the end of the last film.
It makes their lives more adventurous if they are single, to readers and viewers.
There was definitely a pull to draw in younger readers too and the idea of a domesticated Superman is unappealling. There's only so much you could do with it and DC tapped it all out within the last decade.
I personally think that it has more to do with how those given characters have been presented throughout their lives as a single person. Some people got so used to the idea that those characters would stay single that by the time a "marriage" was introduced, it felt foreign to them.
Personally, I think Superman is one of those characters where having a stable relationship, let alone getting married someday, would add another layer to his character.
I agree she looks too superficial, like most reporters... devoid of morals. Also she tends to be fast-talking and annoying.
That may be for you, but I know plenty of people who have found Lois's personality in the comics and other mediums to be very endearing, and a breath of fresh air compared to how other female characters in comics have been potrayed.
Except publishers like DC and Marvel would "alter" the canon in the comics to match the movies. Yes, the film was envisioned and created after new 52. Doesn't mean it wont take influences from the film.
What snippets of leaked info seems to coincide with what we have.
We were told Krypton wont be "icy" and in new 52, he came from this advanced society of beings.
I'm sure editors and writers would be given the script for references. Perhaps not 100% would be according to the film. Pa and Ma Kent is already dead. But I can totally imagine a brasher superman on screen. A more "depowered" superman on screen. A Superman fighting for social justice on screen.
Given on how controversial Superman's portrayal has been received from his New 52 reboot as far as I've seen, I think the writers will only take on what had worked best for the character overall from that take, along with other interpretations.
I'm hoping Man of Steel reinvents her character as a more serious respectable journalist.
I can't imagine Adams playing the Lois Lane who smokes and sleeps around with half of Metropolis.
I'm actually glad it sounds that they've given Lois more to do in Man of Steel than go 'gaga' over Superman. Sounds like she has her own investigation subplot I'm hoping.
She needs to really be defined as a character in her own merit, than simply a love interest associated with the romance subplot, and the one Superman always saves. The damsel in distress.
That was one of the biggest issues I had with her portrayal in the previous films.
I never believed or bought why Reeve's Superman even liked Lois. It was poorly handled.
Where in the blue hell did you ever get that idea? Yeah, Lois has been involved with some male characters in the past..Big deal, and granted, I can understand on how her portrayal in the New 52 has been unflattering, but in terms of the past portrayal, I see nowhere where it states that Lois was as promiscuous as you make her out to be.
And furthermore, I do understand on how her treatment of Clark was less than flattering in today's standards for the past films, but then again, the past films don't really show her that well to begin with.
Other versions, specifically the comics, have shown her to be much better, and she's had bigger role than what you say of her just being a love interest.
Lois can hold her own and normally only needs saving when it really counts. Not to mention there's the fact that she's a reporter and was the one to name Clark's persona as Superman, let alone on how she fights to the truth about Superman's actions to the public so that people don't smear his good name, along with exposing criminals and corrupt people as well.
