Posted by JayZeeBMT on Mon May 21 18:22:32 2012, in response to Re: DC Comics plans to ''reintroduce'' long-time character as gay, posted by Fred G on Mon May 21 17:04:57 2012. Superman's reticence to pair up with Lois has been examined several times in canon (the actual comic books) and in the movies (non-canon, e.g., the storyline in the movies doesn't necessarily mesh with what is going on in the comic books, For example, in the X-Men movie trilogy, the characters are all out of sequence from their stories and eras in the X-Men comic. Kitty Pryde shouldn't even be in the sane class as the X-Men in the movies, because she's a generation younger in the comics, here she was, in fact, a New Mutant.).In canon, Clark never really gets into a long-term relationship with Lois, because all Superman's enemies might discover the truth and attack her, or (in another sequence) the sexual physiognomy of the relationship between a Kryptonian and a human just wouldn't work. (For an excellent exposition of this, read Man Of Steel, Woman of Kleenex, by Larry Niven, well explored in my link.) In Superman II, Clark voluntarily gives up his superpowers to be with Lois, but quickly discovers the world needs Superman. He ends the relationship after reclaiming his powers to beat General Zod and his accomplices, who are, aided by Lex Luthor (of course), terrorizing the world. He then erases Lois' memory of ever being in a relationship with Clark, or her knowledge that he is, in fact, Superman. Naww...my money is on Alfred, Bruce Wayne's butler...LOL! |
