Lois Lane did wonders for my puberty 

It's kind of funny how Lois is voiced by Dana Delany, who also voiced Andrea Beaumont in Mask of the Phantasm. So she was Bruce Wayne's love interest twice.

Superman: The Animated Series isn’t as praised as other DCAU shows, which is a shame because it’s so, so good.

I didn't even realize DCAU Superman never revealed his identity to Lois, I assumed it happened off screen because they seemed too close for him to not have revealed it in JLU. I forgot about the scene at the end of S2.

I really love this version of Lois, independent, ambitious, snarky and strong. My favorite version of the character.

Lois Lane has always been one of my favorite characters in the comics, shows, and movies and everyone always asks why because "she doesn't do anything" but I think you've done an excellent job of encapsulating why I connect to her so much. In a world of gods, heroes, and villains, she's just an ordinary woman but she drives everyone around her to be the best they can be.

You simply cannot have a good Superman if you do not have a good Lois. These two always are ment to be standing together as equals and have the ability to raise the others abilities like nothing else. If one is portrayed sup-par this dynamic gets lost.

In defense of Superman and Lois - would you really want Lois not knowing in spite of the fact they have kids together? Would be pretty messed up if she didn't know by the point the show takes place.

Lois Lane is the grown up version of Ma and Pa Kent. Without Ma and Pa Kent, there is no Clark Kent to become Superman and step onto the Heroic Path. Without Lois, Superman doesn't stay on the Heroic Path. It's funny how Batman has a similar story - without the deaths of his parents, there is no Batman. Without Alfred, there is no Batman. Both Batman and Superman need someone to keep them tethered to Mortality and Morality.

That's me, choking up in the 1st minute with Morrison nailing Supes, and why he matters. This whole video was just a gamut of emotions. As someone who adored the "good bits" of the Post-Crisis Supes, and LOIS AND CLARK as "my" Superman and Lois (yeah, I know, CAIN) -- this video meant a lot to me. Thank you.

Specifically in the animated series, Lois Lane made the Man part of Superman meaningful.

The Superman TAS version of Lois Lane was my first crush. I already know Im gonna get roasted for that

You and Alex Lennen are the best channels regarding comic books currently.

DCAU Lois is one my favorite versions of the character (alongside Bitsie Tulloch from Superman & Lois). I love how the show doesn't make Lois into complete damsel in distress. Sure, she gets into trouble but she gets into by trying to help Superman and when she is trouble, not always wait for Superman to escape. She takes action and tries to escape and help the hero when he is in trouble. Makes sense why someone like Clark would fall in love for her, someone who doesn't let fear of danger stop her from doing her job and helping others.

DCAU Lois Lane is easily my favorite version. Even better than the comics imo.

I can never think of Superman with anyone else

Ah yes, something Snyder never understood.

I been watching the dcau with my friend Ace and we started with superman. We both have a joking approach to watching media so when Lois said "nice S" we joked that she said "nice @ss" then backpedaled like the professional she is.

Hope you do a "Mary Jane is important" video as well And explain why she's so important for Spider-Man, and why it's important for Marvel and in their best interest to Undo One More Day

Between this and you opening my eyes on Lex's character arc, 5his series of DCAU specials is INCREDIBLE, I hope some of the writers and animators see these vids and are touched by how much their efforts meant to you. And all of us.

I love Lois, I actually think she is more interesting than Superman most of the time. While I do love the DCAU Lois, my favorite version has to be from Smallville. I think Erica nailed her energy and her dynamic with both Clark and Super…err…the blur is perfect.

Man, I need to start collecting the DCAU DVDs to watch with my kids. They should grow up with good, honest heroes.

Imagine a Lois Lane movie? Not that we need one. But just imagine a movie that explores her background, her relationship with her father and younger sister, whatever relationship she might've had with Lex Luthor? Maybe showing a scene where she can stand up and be a hero at least once and top it all off with getting a job and the daily planet

I was going to read Rebirth's run on Lois Lane actually getting her own run, but she was being gimmicked.

Thug: Lois lane?! the woman superman always saves Lois: afraid so. (Superman enters the room)

man those 80/90ies animated series are deep... crazy good

Truly one of the greatest comic book characters

Thank you Kevin for being part of the DCAU and making our childhood.

You explained this perfectly! That’s why I hate when Superman is paired up with Wonder Woman or other superpowered women. It makes more sense for him to be paired with a human woman because Clark loves humanity and a human woman makes him feel human.

Goddamn it, I feel so old right now. Hearing a run down Lois' like that and not including Teri Hatcher... ouch man.

I think that clip at 8:41 is Clark getting up on Christmas morning 😊

Ooof loving the frequent uploads

To Lois, Superman is the most impressive person that she ever met. He sees her the same way.

For the last few weeks ive binged a good bunch of your videos and it never ceases to amaze me how well you go over topics ive pondered on for a while.you have a great sense of humor that adds this wonderful joy to hearing your opinions, your little moments where you gush over things you care about add so much substance to your more, intellectual points. you add alot to conversations that most other youtubers I watch dont, personality and a genuine love of the characters, events,and subjects that the medias tackle. keep up the great work!

You've quickly become one of my favorite people to listen to. I fell in love with these older shows all over again thanks to these vids. Thank you~

Really enjoying your essays/videos. Thanks for insights.

Words can't express how much your videos mean to me since I've found your channel. Absolutely poetic.

Why didnt you mention Kidder's Lois lane? She was one of the best ones

Thx again pal, you really bring the child out of me when watching your vids, Sadly the DCAU is just sth from the past now, sth that has ended. And the art of Bruce Timm really has a special place in my heart. keep the awesome work "Smallville"!

Your videos are magical. The ideal format. Well done. I will watch this channel until the sun dies

“(also Bruce is clearly in love with Clark)” oh the cackle I just let out 😂😂😂😂😂

Great Video! You should a part 2 (or 3) on the result of this relationship breaking down and how evil versions of Superman in the DCAU manifest because of losing Lois or other external factors. I'm thinking of the versions from "Brave New Metropolis" and "A Better World".

Please make that part 2, I feel like a lot of people would enjoy it!

This really drives how Lois and Clark is the top comic book couple. Despite how people think “oh it’s because they’re just perfect!”

DCAU is my favorite animated version of Lois lane.

Very well said, they make a great pair. I really love that the CW show is titled Superman & Lois and showcases how they work quite well )

Man i love this Channel

A comparison of Batman and Superman The audience sees Superman as Superman with Clark Kent to be the manufactured identity. Clark Kent sees it the other way around. The audience sees Batman as the manufactured identity with Bruce Wayne being the actual person. Again, Batman sees it the other way around.

Lois lane is a legend. She is his heart ❤ and soul. Best superhero couple ever !!

Superman the Animated Series was better than it had any right to be...and was the softer and simpler version of the comics, halfway between the Golden Age light tone, and Silver Age science weirdness. And yet...the best characterizations, most honest characters, great moments, small bits and absolutely heartfelt. Plus of course, best Lois Lane, best Lobo, Best Lex Luthor, great Brainiac, amazingly well done and terrifying Darkseid, and fantastic character dynamics to it all. For what always felt like the fluff piece animated part of the DCAU, it worked better than anyone expected...and in a sense felt like a spiritual precursor and successor to the old Fleisher Superman cartoons. So, there's that too.

This hit me in the feels

That part 2 sounds like a brilliant idea

Lois was a risk taker long before supes started saving her, cuz her sense of justice and strive for truth is more important to her than arbitrary rules. Clark is a straight laced goody two shoes, partly because he was raised by john and martha, but because he doesnt have the luxury of taking risks or stepping out of bounds...lois makes clark want to be a better hero.

0:54 I meeeaaan Herkules wasnt like the big awesome hero from the get go. Yeah he was super human but he didnt do all that much and hell, Hera literally tried to kill him when he was a baby, he was also tricked to fucking murder all of his children and the tasks that he then did that everyone knows about wasnt him being a hero but him trying to atone for the sin of killing his children.

Lois: Nice “S” Clark: Excuse me?

DCAU Lois is my favorite. I didn't care much for Amy Adams, although I'm not busting on her. She just didn't seem to have enough of that sassy, cosmopolitna urbanite chic, and Lois shouldn't be a redhead. A slight tweak on her writing, and a touch of hair dye, and she would have been A+.

Well done, and well stated.

Glad they’ve moved beyond the banter only, though, into them being long married and parents (but still bantering) in most media.

This is great. You are great. I love your videos

Another great one, I dread the day you stop with the DCAU content

A character like her is something that is missing in Homelander's life.

Great Scott!

I understand that the white pleated skirt/purple blazer is not practical attire for Lois Lane’s brand of aggressive journalism but a part of me will forever want to see it in a live action movie.

Something, Something, Something changing your mind…

Somehow DCAU always comes at top when it comes to fully fleshed characters 😇

I’m personally a bigger fan of the character when she does come to learn Clark’s secret. They both have similar morals and values but different perspectives on the world and I like when they’re able to talk to each other openly when they need to bounce off ideas. Also I feel like the joke gets old after a while (she’s a great investigative journalist but can’t see who her closest coworker is). Not that I want to completely skip her being oblivious to Clark’s secret. For me I’d say have one season of television of her being in the dark and then letting her in on it somewhere in the second season so they can move on with the next step of their relationship is perfect. At least I think so

Idk if you mention it later but before I forget they did the love triangle in the new 52...... sorry to be that guy if you didn't mention it later on....... but since you said you might do a part two I think it would be awesome 👌

i love your videos

a year later and im just now noticing the shinji hand in the background of the thumbnail, well played.

I dont think she Is the thing that makes him humble, maybe just one of the reasons, but he is already humble on his own

SOMETHING CHANGING YOURRRR MIIIIIND

Smallville and the DCAU are tied as my favorite versions of lois lane the only thing I didn't like was that she didn't find out because I feel like if she's dating superman in jlu by that point she should know plus it would have been a good pay off for superman the animated series fans but nope just a dangling plot point I would easily have gotten that scene instead of just human scene but it was still good.

Lois lane is the best superhero gf i know of where shes rather strong willed and good. I honestly wish they gave batman a gf like her (yes catwoman can be good but shes too damn backstabby)

Excellent grant Morrison quote

DCAU Lois is peak!

Beautiful face, miniskirt, no painties - nice!

i need to watch the full dcau

Could you do a video on Tim Drake, Joker, or Mask of the Phantasm?

I love this guy's English

I saw your Batman Arkham video I was wondering if you were gonna do the league of assassin dlc where you could either kill or save ra

You got to look at the Silver Age version of Lois Lane and how she married everyone EXCEPT for Superman. 😅😅😅

“She was my world”

Your first title was better Lois is important

Part two please!

3:46 to that I say YES

I know this isn’t really the kind of channel where you talk about the external elements that go into the production of these pieces of media but would you have anything to say about the current direction of the DC animated movies? I personally feel worried about the future of the movies as I’ve noticed a decline in quality in the current era of movies since The Long Halloween. Cheers for this essay regardless

Clark LOVES his cynical brunettes

What if we got a DCAU Superman mini Series, only to fix lots of loose ends. Sometimes I wish we’ve gotten a DCAU mini-series or film where Clark spills the beans to Lois about his Superman alter ego, taking inspiration and elements from the almost-revealing moment in the Justice League Unlimited "Divided We Fall" ending.(which they were so close to end off the whole story) The plot twists and turns promise an intriguing and fun premise-perhaps what’re the odds maybe someday, if they clearly go back to the Timmverse I think they should fix lots of loose ends and unfinished business to do with DCAU Superman. What do you folks think, do think a mini series can fix lots of loose ends with DCAU Superman.

Watch Lois & Clark, it's great.

alright now I really wanna see the Superman show.

as I kid I honest to God thought that at the end of JLU season 2 Lois already knew and this was just banter. Am I just dumb?

Please what is the song at the end of the video going I won’t get enough slee till you with me

What's up with Shinji's hand in the background of the final collage?

Could've used a Lois Lane fancam in the middle there. but an excellent video!

Have you seen the new Green Lantern movie on HBO Max. It's actually pretty good. I feel like you'd have a lot to say about it.

Oh my god make the comparing Lois Lanes, please

Damsel in distress

Like even Teri Hatcher ? Also What you thought of Superman brainaic attacks movie ?

Superman's entourage always feels like the most underutelized bunch, unless there's a good writer behind him. From Superman: Kryptonite by Darwyn Cooke, to All-Star Superman, and so on, some of my favorite adventures are always about Superman's personal relationships, and how they all bounce off each other, from Jimmy to Lois to Perry to Lana to Pete Ross to Lex and so on. I don't agree with the idea that Lois 'keeps him human', never liked the Snyder-take. Like this guy will suddenly become an unfeeling alien to the planet/people he grew up on/with if one person dies. But I do like to think Clark is made by his friends, to an extent. Learning from them and enjoying their company just like normal people would. Maybe it's boring on paper, but reading those parts of comics are always my favorite parts. Just Clark enjoying the company of his friends, and being himself, without need for heroics. 😌

It's interesting because Lois is kind of a hard mode character. It's easy to mess her up and hard to get the balance right. See Kate Bosworth's version. But when done right she's such an adorable egomaniacal pain in the ass, that you can see why Superman just can't help but love her. See: Teri Hatcher, Erica Durance, and Margot Kidder.

Just realized, now that Kevin's gone, there won't be any way to add world building or spinoff from this universe.
