My delusional fan theory is this... 🤭

This year marks 30 years of Clois being married—one of the strongest, most beloved marriages in comics. A relationship that's often (not always) been written beautifully, despite years of people insisting that marrying Superman would somehow "ruin" the character or take away his mystique.

Well... here we are in 2026, and Clois is still one of the most beloved couples in comics. Their dynamic is timeless, they constantly make each other better characters, and no matter the medium, Lois Lane and Clark Kent/Superman just WORK.

Between everything we've seen in "My Adventures with Superman", the recently announced 30th anniversary special celebrating their marriage, and the ending of "Superman & Lois" —which proved just how well Lois and Clark can be written as spouses and parents without losing what makes them them......

I think it's totally fair for me, as a fan, to hope (and maybe be a little delusional ) that "Man of Tomorrow", coming out in July 2027, FINALLY gives us the proposal these two deserve. Maybe I'm reaching. Maybe I'm setting myself up for disappointment.

But here's the thing... Lois Lane deserves better than a posthumous proposal in a letter like we got in the DCEU. The most important woman in Superman's mythology deserves a proposal that's heartfelt, memorable, and worthy of her legacy. And honestly? I've really loved how the DCU has been building Clois so far.

So part of me wants to believe James Gunn knows this anniversary is meaningful and maybe —just maybe—he'll pay tribute to it by giving us the proposal we've all been waiting to see... on the big screen, ready to live forever in our edits, GIFs, and posts 🤭💜

Clark gets all smiley whenever he gets a lil meet & greet w/ Metropolis' biggest star, Lois Lane. Bro really is the luckiest man alive... 😌

P.S. If our girl actually knew Lois Lane, she'd NEVER call her "elusive. Lois' brain chemistry is clearly built different, bc if there's one emotion she simply does NOT understand... it's fear (jk)

I absolutely loved the little details in these panels. On top of that, I'm really enjoying the story itself, especially because it gives Lois some meaningful moments and even a pretty decent amount of page time.

The first detail I loved is how, just like in "Enemy of the People", everyone at the Daily Planet stops to look when Lois Lane walks in. It really shows how respected and larger-than-life she is, not just at the newspaper but throughout Metropolis. She truly is the star reporter. Even the stickers around the office have her name and photo on them! I'd LOVE to see future DCU adaptations lean into that aspect of her character more often.

Another detail that really stood out to me is how protective she is of Jimmy. The moment she gets to the Daily Planet, one of the first things she does is go check on her protégé, who's clearly still a bit shaken. Their dynamic feels almost like siblings—they care about each other that much. (I almost said mother and son 😅, but I think "big sister and little brother" fits them much better.)

MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN — "The Death of Superman" (3.05)

[thunderwhenhepurrs]

Thinking about Lois and Clark and how I'd characterize their approaches to journalism.

I like the idea of them both having their strengths.

Clark is a storyteller. He's a technically better writer, has better prose, builds up a story low and slow. He has long articles that take months to gather information for and builds up a story fact by fact until you're reading it like a mystery novel. When the last paragraph comes, it swings in like a sledgehammer, changing hearts and minds.

But Lois is the better interviewer by a mile and her journalistic sense for what the public wants to read is off the charts. Lois can get people to spill secrets like they're on their death bed. She can go into a room with the most wily politician and get them to bite their own tail while they think they're getting her to chase her own. She gets the sniff of a potential story and busts down the door in days, not weeks. Lois is a shock-and-awe, front page, hot off the presses, read-all-about-it kind of writer.

Clark can't break open a story the way Lois can. Lois doesn't have the patience to build a case like Clark can.

Both of them are extremely powerful journalists with entirely different styles and products. The times they share the byline, they can shake the world.

I'm obsessed with her outfit here, especially paired with that haircut. She looks so good! 😵💜

[lois-lane-stan]

Sometimes the best thing a Lois Lane fan can do is block certain people and be very selective about who you interact with online.

I know and fully acknowledge that Lois is a supporting character who originated as Superman's love interest. But I became a Lois Lane fan because I realized she has the potential to be so much more than just a love interest.

The problem is that some comic book and superhero fans get ridiculously hostile toward anyone who genuinely admires Lois as her own character. So imagine what it's like to be someone who's a Lois-only fan. The amount of hateful comments gets exhausting.

As someone who's a fan of Lois Lane first, and not necessarily Superman, of course I'm always gonna hope for a new comic series with her name in the title, or a TV show where she's the lead—whether that's on her own or alongside Superman, like the amazing Superman & Lois.

I KNOW she's a supporting character. That doesn't change the fact that, as her fan, I'm always gonna want the best for her.

Is it really that hard to respect that?

In this issue, Superman is acting in a rather exhibitionist way for the sake of the citizens of Metropolis, and naturally, Lois starts to suspect that something is off about his strange behavior.

I find it really interesting how this comic pushes back against a recurring criticism of Lois Lane. A lot of people claim she’s only obsessed with Superman’s powers and abilities, and that’s the only reason she’s attracted to him — but that’s not true. In this issue, it’s clear that she’s paying attention to his character and personality just as much. And when she realizes he’s acting like a total jerk, she doesn’t side with him or excuse it at all. Instead, she calls him out and confronts him directly, showing her complete disapproval.

I’ll always love picking up on every little detail of Lois Lane, my favorite muse. 💜

obsessed with the fact that every time Lois and Clark interact in this comic, the artists sneak in these tiny little hearts around them 🥺💕

(it's a children's series, but it's SO cute 😭❤️)

She has that editor-in-chief aura 💅🏻

After the Superman movie came out last year, for the first time ever I had the itch to read comics. Long story short, I found a Superman reading order on the Comic Geeks app, and I've read over 900 comics. Most of them are Superman runs, with some being Justice League or crossover arcs. And man, Lois Lane is THE character of all time.

I've watched many shows and movies, I've played a fair amount of story driven video games, and while I should read more books, I've read a wide variety that makes it impossible to pinpoint what my taste is. I've seen a lot of romantic relationships in all of those stories. Some of them do not work for me AT ALL. Most of them are cute, but I don't have any investment. Some of them I REALLY love because of how well developed each character is, but I can really only think of maybe three or four romantic relationships in media I genuinely care about. But of all of them, none of them have ever perfectly encapsulated "in every universe" like Lois and Clark have. They are the most bizarre ship I've ever seen. I mean that SO affectionately.

Like, usually a non-protagonist female character isn't given as much depth as non-protagonist male characters. They CAN be given a lot of layers, but they just don't get as much depth as the lead male character. Women tend to be forced into the "love interest" box. When there's a supporting male character, they're given way more depth (usually). An example that comes to mind is Elena Fisher from Uncharted. She really didn't get much development. You have to infer a lot about her arc, but outside of her relationship with Nate, we don't know anything about her. She's an amazing character, I adore her, but inarguably she isn't nearly as well fleshed out as Nate, and even Sully is given more layers than her. If the female character isn't well written, she's the weak link in the story and that's about it. Most women characters, mainly ones who aren't the protagonist, have almost no real influence on the quality of the story. Sure, the story would be enhanced and it would be way better representation, but the story and other characters still stand on their own. I don't know if any of that makes sense. I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about.

I've seen people say that if Lois isn't well written, it's a terrible Superman story. Tbh, I didn't get it. Like, okay, she's not written well in a story. Surely that just makes her less enjoyable, but how can a character possibly directly effect how good the story is-

NOPE. If she's not well written, it is a BADDD Superman story. She's her own fully fleshed out character, who quite literally has her own life. She has her own arcs that totally belong to her and her alone, and she has a direct influence on the entire world. If a writer comes in and doesn't know how to write Lois, they fundamentally lack the understanding of the whole story, and they inevitably mischaracterize Clark. I read an arc where Lois broke off her relationship with Clark, and she was in character the whole time (it takes place before the wedding storyline from the 90s). Their anguish was so gut-wrenching and their reactions felt completely natural. The way they behaved made total sense. I kind of wish how they got back together was written better, but whatever. It's from the 90s. All things considered, it is handled pretty well for that time. But it COULD be better.

Just a few weeks ago I read another arc where, unbeknownst to the reader, Parasite had shapeshifted into Lois, and she acted like a total asshole in such an out of character way. She was abusive, cold, manipulative, and just... so badly written. Until the reveal, I thought that was just how she was being written from then on because this comic had come out in 2000, and DC had changed out all the writers. And Clark? My god. He had the most out of character reactions that made me genuinely set my tablet down because I was so uncomfortable with him. I kept saying out loud, "Clark wouldn't say this. He wouldn't do this. This isn't who Clark is." What's crazy is that "Lois" had an in-canon reason for acting totally different, but because she was written so out of character, it inherently made Clark a worse character.

I've read some alternative timeline stories (some that are major canon events, and other ones, like Red Son, that are totally self contained) where Lois and Clark either hadn't met at all, or did meet, but weren't on a path to end up together. You can feel how empty their lives are because of it. Something feels like it's missing from them. They aren't worse people because of not knowing each other, but it almost feels like some important part of them is missing. And in those fleeting moments they do meet, everything just clicks, and you can't help but want them to see the truth.

I watched the Superman animated series last year, which I liked, but I didn't really love it. Anyway, in season 3 Lois basically disappeared until the finale, and I kept saying, "okay, and where's Lois? These episodes are lacking something important and THAT IMPORTANT THING IS LOIS!!!"

I'm just blown away. They really are the ship of all time, and they really are the epitome of the term, "in every universe." Lois really is THE character of all time, and she's SO integral to Superman's mythos. You can't have a good Superman story if Lois isn't treated with the respect she deserves.

If anyone wants to know what order I'm following, here's the link!

Superman Reading Order - Part I (Earth-0/Post-Crisis) by Danylo_McNeill

This is the first part of my comprehensive post-crisis Superman reading order. Part I covers Superman's rebooted origin and his career le

I've been reading on the DCInfinite app, and fair warning, they don't have every issue in their catalogue. I've had to pirate several of them. I'm paying for the app! And I'm planning on buying physical copies for arcs I loved! For example, I REALLY want The Death of Superman Omnibus. I'm not promoting pirating, but I'm not condemning it either. I looked into buying volumes, and for just The Man of Steel run in the link I provided, it was over a hundred dollars to get a physical copy. I've read over 900 comics. The app saved me so much money, and I did not want to hunt down issues I'd never read again. I'm sorry, but if I'd stuck with physical, I wouldn't have been able to read as much as I have. If y'all want to pirate, have at it. If you have a problem with pirating, DCInfinite is an awesome affordable option. Or do both, like I did! If you don't care about reading orders and just want to read whatever, then do whatever works best for you!

And yes, I am aware that people don't like John Byrnes. Dan Jurgens joined the team of writers, and it seems like he eventually replaced John Byrnes. His era was awesome.

Another warning is that sometimes the person who put the list together got the order messed up in later parts. I had to reorganize the list on DCInfinite. Yes, I am shamelessly plugging its name in, but it's more so to help people know where to go and what to use that's made my reading experience enjoyable.
