Superman Returns Why the love for Lois Lane?

[SamuraiSon6]

I am a "fan" of Superman, but I have always followed Spider-Man very close, and Batman somewhat, but Superman was more of a "pick up a cool comic cover" kinda thing. So my question is, why does Superman/Clark Kent love Lois Lane so much. I am being serious, i'm sorry if there is an obvious answer out there, I have just never seen it. I'm not trying to invalidate their love for each other, I just think I would appreciate it more if I knew why he loved her so much. Was there a pivitol moment where he desperately needed someone and she was the only one there for him, or does she just understand him better than others. Or is it simply that he thinks she is pretty (which I hope its not). Again, I have just never understood why he risked everything for her. I look forward to some of the hardcore fan answers, thanks for listening.

I posted this originally over in the Superman Comics forum but its kinda dead over there and this does apply to the movie as well, but I am just looking for a general answer from any of Superman's appearances, be it comics, movies or even TAS.

I think I will get lots of responses on this board! Thanks.

Because she is the one that does that special thing for him. Ever heard of the saying "love is blind"? And she is also a hot chick who is a go getter. He works with her daily in the DP. Many police officers whose partners are the oposite sex end up falling in love with each other. And she is driven. It is an oposites attract thing, but they also have a lot in common.

yea, thats what i figured, but have their been any epic moments, where she just saved his life or something similar. also, does she openly say she loves him (superman).

i guess the best comparison i can make is Mary Jane in the Spider-Man movies, she always told bullies to quit picking on him (when hes nerdy Parker- she showed sympathy to him when not many others did), she also ran away from a wedding for him and (as of SM2) is committed to being with him even as a superhero. those are the things that make me really likeand believe Spider-Man/MJ's relationship. i guess im just looking for something like that in Superman/Lois...

In the Lester version S2 she openly says she loves him. In the Donner version, not sure yet. In STM she is clearly in love with him. In the comics she is an marries him.

Lois saved him plenty of times when a badguy would throw the ol kryptonite around.
