Reckless decisions, maybe. But Lois Lane, properly written, should never come off as stupid.
Clark should be so lucky.
Also:
That would be ideal, yes.
I hope that Lois is as smart as Amy Adams Lois Lane
I think even the most die hard fan would say that DC movies have seen better days. What do you think the first Gunn era movie has to do to reverse trends? Or does it just have to be a good movie?
@TREK_GOD_1 may never say this, but i think most critics of the DCFU will at least say that Amy Adams was great in her role, and the writing on her end pretty much supported that.
To me, she had that right balance of grit and compassion to plausibly be a love interest for SUperman
I think it needs to show enough respect for what came before to show that the makers love Superman as a whole, but then create enough new stuff to let newer fans also embrace it. I think B v S and the solo movie did that for Wonder WOman, or the first season for CW TV Flash (maybe more than was :needed" for FLash)
Adams's Lois was consistently the single best thing about Snyder's DC movies, and was my favorite screen version of the character till Bitsie Tulloch came along to edge her from the top spot.
Lois has fared extremely well in live-action in recent years, and I'm very hopeful and optimistic that Brosnahan will continue that trend.
Indeed because new and casual fans will be put off by feeling the weight of all this history in this franchise. I hope this can do it.
No, its not bad. Although Clark is supposed to be intellectually above most (depending on the source and era of said source), Lois has been portrayed as seriously intelligent, world-wise and fairly street smart, certainly more than Clark, as that latter distinction is not normally one of Clark's strengths.
i have a bad feeling about this...
Not a fan of the post-Siver Age Superman then?
Superman & Lois has done an excellent job of portraying Lois as an equal to Superman. No, she's not rescuing him from super-powered villains, but in intellectual and emotional support, they're equal in a way that I don't feel has been shown on screen between those characters before. Hopefully that's where we're going in the Gunnverse versions.
Yeah, Superman & Lois pretty much a perfect example of how to write a version modern Lois and her relationship with Clark/Superman. Modern versions of Lois really needs to be an smart, tough, capable woman, who can be a true partner for Clark and Superman. Obviously she can't stand with him in a fight against a super powered villain, but she should be able to in pretty much every other way.
The days of Lois as the damsel in distress who constantly needs to be saved by Superman.

Wow, Superman has some really weird kinks.Reckless decisions, maybe. But Lois Lane, properly written, should never come off as stupid.

Gunn on why Tom King is part of his DCU inner circle/brain trust:
Read the Human Target run. Loved it.Gunn on why Tom King is part of his DCU inner circle/brain trust:
Yeah, it's frakking amazing, right?
I've read -- and loved -- two of the four specific titles Gunn cites, and I recently purchased the other two (Strange Adventures and Mister Miracle). Expecting more awesome stuff.

All 4 of those are amazing. Mister Miracle probably being my favourite.
If you don't mind dipping into Marvel, his "Vision" mini was equally good.
King won me over with his Batman run and I adored Human Target. WoT is next on my reading list.
