Lois Lane in search of Superman | Man of Steel 

I was about to type out the second part. Part of the reason why Clark is indebted to Lois is that she despite everything she knows about Clark, she doesn't fear him. She still sought him out even after the incident at the Kryptonian scout ship and looks at him like any other person. For someone who's been isolated and invisible his whole life, partially because it's self-imposed, her breaking his isolation and invisibility and choosing to treat him as any other person is endearing.

Plus, and I think this is critical, LOIS MET HIS MOM. She knows the stakes. She knows what’ll happen to this woman if she puts her son. Every news outlet on the planet will descend on her. Not only is Lois protecting Clark, she’s protecting Martha, too. She also doing this at the expense of her own career. A scoop like this would earn her a Pulitzer AUTOMATICALLY. That wouldn’t be in question. It’s a sacrifice for her to kill the story, and I think he recognizes that. Even under threat of the military, probably threat of prison time, even after being snatched off the street like a kidnap victim by the government, she doesn’t snitch.

This is Zack's cinematographic style, I've always said it; he narrates visually, not verbally.

@@1940Joker number 1 rule of filmmaking - show don’t tell; that’s why Zack is the George Lucas of DC - he’s able to take what the masses consider low-end art and make it something truly spectacular

Was it ever said how she figured it out? To my knowledge, she just interviewed people who survived horrible accidents, but they had no idea how they survived, let alone who saved them, if anyone was involved. I'd think Clark would have just moved too fast for anyone to know it was him and where he lived. Still, I do like the movie showing her work ethic and methodical investigation.

+HandyMan101 Margot Kidder is beyond perfection.

@HandyMan101 And you have no problem for DECADES to portray Lois as an idiot and the question "How stupid can Lois be?". At least Hollywood portray Lois as Journalist with a skill to match her level, not some woman who is stupid not to figure out anything and yet every guys or villain know about the true identity of Clark.

@Jay Shani, that's only a few, but like Jane Foster, she is not smart, but more knowledge and yet Thor is not stupid, but more straight forward and know more than Jane about everything, the universe, the technology and such. Not to mention in all those movies, the men are strong, reliable, the women are more SUPPORTIVE, no matter how "smart" or knowledge they are, they are just behind and support the men. Like Tony Stark and Pepper and countless others movies. These people like Micheal complaint about "Hollywood's effects" which women are more COMPETENT and not theirs look and bad at theirs jobs or just wait for the men to come and save them like old Lois and the fan favorite question for over 6 DECADES "HOW STUPID IS LOIS LANE?"

@Jay Shani, TIME CHANGE. If you look at comic over all, more male superheroes, and when all those comic come out? DECADES ago where the concept of Male over Female. Hollywood only did what is right, adjust the ratio between Male and Female from 90% and 10% to now 70% and 30% and more balance approach. Like I said, Thor is not stupid and Jane is not smart, different areas, different understanding. Thor able to speak so many languages, understand things beyond anything Jane could possibly know about universe, aliens, culture and more. Where are yours OUTRAGE? Because once you get to be as strong as Thor, it just brute force will work, it's the lazy approach, not stupid. I also like to repeat TIME CHANGE, so movies, comic, stories must adjust to time to fit the audience. Like the story of Adam and Eve, Eve came from RIB of Adam, Eve is dumb, listen to a snake, Eve is the one to blame. See that story of Adam and Eve, written in the time of where Male has SUPERIORITY over Female, if Eve shows any signs that would go against the acceptance culture's views at the time, you think people would be more supportive to that story? Same with China and female officials, same freaking problem. The comic is not perfect, it needs to be adjust to time and audience or risk FAILURE at new society.

@Jay Shani, Again and again it's TIME CHANGE. Hollywood must adapt or RISK OF FAILURE. If you look at Business, Amazon came out with online shopping, all the building and brick stores all closes up. Online Movies came out, same problem, Block Buster gone. Steam came out, Game Stop and such all barely hang on. No matter how you hate it, the audience, the society and the perspectives all changed with time. Even religions change their mantra and preaching method. 50 years ago, Catholic and Christians still have theirs mantra of Deformed babies as "SPAWN OF DEVIL", now suddenly they are all about protecting fetus. Religions change, nobody make a BEEP. Hollywood changes, people react because so many couldn't accept that changes, simple as that. Like all stories, comic requires their stories to change, not stay the same as DECADES ago which make no sense and risk alienate most today's audiences.

Yes my man ......I still don't understand why other live versions of Lois lane are potrayed as idiots ..The fact that she is much more experience and famous reporter than Clark Kent but can't figure out that Clark is Superman......thats why I hate Lois lane ..I just think only for plot she is added and there is nothing special about her. Until Man of steel and Zack went in different direction and Pretty much gave Lois respect as an intelligent woman ...Can't believe How people can say she is worse than Margot Kidder lol + HOW CAN YOU BE LOIS LANE IF YOU CANT FIGURE CLARK KENT IS SUPERMAN ??😂😂😂 All thanks to Zack Snyder... For this masterpiece movie

ur kinda cringe ngl

He didn’t write this, nor his other films, he’s not a writer

The details!

it might be his wind flight!

no, he hadn't figured out his powers yet had he? That happens after he goes to the ship

@@ShashankBhardwaj he already knew his powers.. that is why when they were talking lane said "the only way for you to disappear is for you to stop helping people" implying that clark's already using his powers to help others

@@ShashankBhardwaj This is right after his first flight.

Did you get clocked in the dome.... the movie jumps from time line to time line not even as meomeries forms a gap and who is the dumb ass who would build an oil on salt water. Dumb.

There’s honestly not much chemistry or interesting dynamic between them in the film

@@msariah ym many oil rigs are on ocean and i have zero idea why is that a question, and it wasnt that hard to keep up with the timeline

@@omega_sam oil Rigs on the Ocean 🌊 is made of salt water it burns hotter so it is more dangerous and less cost effective for any drill squad... No sane Oil baron would have done this not to mention you could all life with just one barrel flooding the water... As for the timeline the memories are backwards and sometimes just not the best the kid moments are good but really he dosent have more drama at 5 then the bus at what 10... it’s kinda like they just didn’t want to deal with how harsh being a kid is... so your parents never had to punish him for being bad... the scene with Johnathan is like the only time he gets mad..Why he was right he isn’t ready...

@@msariah you saying sstuf against oil rigs doesnt changes the fact that there are oil rigs in real world thats located in the ocean and they are working so hows that movies fault is above me, as fro the flashbacks, its not that hard to keep up with the timeline, and he wasd efinitely not 10 when the bus incident happened, and thats not the only scene in which he gets mad at johnathan , remember tornado scene?

So true, she's believable and the best Lois Lane in any of the movies. Amy's a hottie, and 8 years older than Henry in real life.

Hard Boiled Entertainment honestly I just started to like superman because of her Lois Lane. Her Lois Lane is badass and fearless.

The lois lane from smallville was the best she had looks and her personality was the best

Yet she is one of the worst lois lanes :) Erica durance is the best

Erica durance from smallville will always be the best.

@Joker ??? I don't believe... why?

@@lucasrodrigo5600 he's not yet. they re still talking about it

I remember when Lex Luthor got Superman's power for a day and see electromagnetic and then realize how small his perception to the world. For a moment, he realizes SuperMan see the whole world differently than him and regret going against SuperMan all those years until his death.

Zod wasn't trying to take over the world or doing anything selfish. He was trying to save his race, if humans and kryptonians switched shoes do you think we would show mercy to another race at the cost of our own? No.

@@elijahbezalel7432 Exactly, Zod simply did the "Normal Procedure" that Krypton did all the time to other planets during the Age of Expansion. Humans will do the same or much worse. Just look at ours history. Superman has the genes of all his species and look at what he did to them, NOTHING FOR YEARS and YEARS after. In a sense, Clark is a brainwash version of Earth who think of benefits of Earth over Krypton.

@@CuongNguyen-le5ic Actually, he only had Superman's power for a couple of hours (at most), but in his physical and mental perception, he spent a lot longer time. But yes, Luthor regretted all the years of his pettiness. Very ironic.

@@elijahbezalel7432 Oh yeah. You make a good point.

smit4459 I don't understand why people disliked the film. I very much enjoyed it's maturity.

Just for the commenting lol cuz they don’t want movies that have compelling story telling.

I actually do like this movie alot despite some of its problems but I strongly don't like Batman V Superman. I mean come on they stop fighting because both their mothers have the same name.

Yoo Hoo still it could have ended better and for what’s worth I know a lot of people here are going to argue with me, but captain civil war was ten times better bvs because the story made more sense to me and you understand cap and iron man’s POV.

Josh's Reviews. it is not. Doesn't make sense how Zemo entered highly guarded facility with Bucky as dead psyhologist, he doesn't look like Russo (who played him) at all Spider-Man is shoe-horned, fights WW2 veteran, legend and his friends just because rich guy told him so (that's like Gary Conway's Punisher lol) Cap doesn't never wants to explain Zemo's plan to Stark or anyone else, Airport fight could be 100% avoided. Not to mention how he doesn't even care about collateral damage. In comic book Civil War as soon as Cap realized damage they did during fight he just surrendered to police Iron Man is absolute hypocrite, Sokovian tragedy was solely on him and no one in Avengers even mentioned that, oh he was brainwashed by Scarlet Witch you can say, well Bucky was too brainwashed when he killed his parents. Also his quote to "He was my friend" - "So was I", doesn't make any sense because since the day one Cap and Iron Man had shit relationship. Fury is nowhere to be find for some reason There is no "POV" in Civil War, it is just Cap who is mainly right versus super hypocritical Iron Man and half of Avengers that doesn't want remember Tony who started this whole mess in the first place, and with (for some reason) low-IQ Black Panther that doesn't want to listen anyone (solo movie did him more justice, just like Homecoming with Spider-Man)

YeH, her performance and the material, both were very good.

I’ve been a fan of Amy since Enchanted. Between it and MOS I’ve seen Night At The Museum 2, The Muppets, Leap Year, Julie & Julia and Trouble With The Curve. And in between the two times she played Giselle, she shows the capability to balance whimsy and sophistication in her range. One thing I admire about Amy is representing classic Hollywood glamour in the digital age

Hes the worst superman? his acting is like a fucking brick wall, watch smallville for a amazing superman

oh so in the NEW AGE. 2018 you are suppose to not be able to act??

The NEW ERA OF SUPERMAN is HUMBLE AND INSPIRING. yes every single superman except Henry has been HUMBLE and INSPIRING.

I literally just explained why your fake ass opinon is wrong and you reply with yea-no ok :) live in fairy land

aditya mokashi he’s a pretty good superman but probably not the best ever

She has a ski slope nose.

@@jonothandoeser One of her best features, I'd say. Helps gives her a "Disney Princess" kinda look....

Agreed. I just wish she looked like Lois Lane.

I personally don’t think so but that’s why beauty is subjective

@Al B what,it's her normal face with makeup. She looks like that in real life look at interviews etc

Lmao 😂

Ugliest Lois Lane EVER.

@@SleazyNice what?

NitaCruise, you could actually pass as a Lois Lane also! 😜

also Brandon routh

Did you watch smallville?

@Norah Stewart the best red blue blur

Christopher Reeve is the idealistic Superman while Henry Cavill is the realistic one.

@R R same with Cavill, he's 39 now

Yes and he was still 29 in this film. Time flies…. Like Superman.

Well I was able to let it slide. Even though I would rather date someone around my age.

I think she was always meant to be older than him. She's the experienced reporter, has been doing the job for many years. Clark is the young farmboy who just made it to the big city. In every instance, Lois is always older. The grim reality of being Superman though is that even if she were much younger, she would die and he would live for hundreds if not thousands of more years. Kryptonians age very slowly on Earth. They will eventually die of old age but live many times longer than a normal human. Wonder Woman would be his ideal mate. She will live very long as well and their children would be like gods and also live to be very old.

That's called 'Good Directing.'

*****​ Agreed. Yet from the standpoint of presenting a workable notion that alternates from 80 years of card tricks and hocus pocus, that a more natural human equation works for these two characters. Even DC thought the old premise was 'aged out' and progressed Clark and Lois unto something a bit more mature, though with better writing potential for readers. And then reverted back to non-progression after willing in a new group of creators to further *"The New 52,"* sadly. But as a movie contingent, that Zack wanted to go with this. It truly brought Superman into modern times for non-comic book readers.

Batman is as smart as Luthor, but since Batman admitted it himself, Tim Drake is technically the smartest man on Earth.

***** You do realize that hierarchy of other skills has nothing to do with someone's intellect, right? Tim Drake figured out Batman's identity when he was very young. Even Bruce considered him a better detective, albeit less experienced. Tim Drake is basically if Batman was a good person, had a normal childhood, and stayed in school.

***** Ok I didn't understand a single bit of that sentence.

Now i'm picturing something like the Flat Earth Society or Westboro Baptist running around the country denying the existence of Superman and coming up with weird explanations for sightings/things he's done, being used at least partly as comic relief.

Along with Wonder Woman and Aquaman

This was not massively underrated, but underrated nonetheless. Plus since zod came up in the second half, it had to be full on action.

I agree I like the smallville scenes and first half but didn’t like were the flashbacks were placed and 2nd half just left me bored with the nonstop cgi destruction. I have done my own Edit removing kryton completely starting at the fishing boat and showing bits of kryton in flashback when he’s talking to jor-el on the ship. I also moved the flashbacks about. Added the bully flashback scene before he breaks sods neck and trimmed the fighting in smallville and Zod and superman fight at the end

Looking back, I've always thought they should have made MoS exactly like the tone and story of the first half of this movie here. Superman finding out who he truly is, maybe have the villain be human instead, or like superhuman(s). Shouldnt be a world ending threat, but at least like a city level threat and helps to introduce Metropolis/the world Superman. The villains being human shows that humanity is not as good as Clark hopes it to be, but thats why he is here. To spread the hope that he believes in to the people of Earth, to help people, even if they are undeserving of help. Then MoS 2 is the second half with Zodd. This movie challenges Clarks principles, now having to go up against his own kind. Maybe before this event, people didnt realize he's alien, maybe some guy with powers from somewhere or a "meta human", then Zodds arrival breaks that convention. And now, with the almost destruction of Earth AND Clark having to kill someone, his own kind no less, the status quo has completely changed. Now, the public that once respected and looked up to him, now fear him, his powers, and trouble that could come his way (and a great way to transition to BvS)

I hate this version of Pete Ross lol.

Do we really KNOW that Pete told? Maybe Pete just gave her one little bit of information which lead to something else which lead to something else.

Don’t hate on Pete. He was one of Clark’s few childhood friends and even showed up to his funeral in BvS. Certainly doesn’t look like he exposed Superman’s Smallville origins to anyone.

Facts...Pete stays Snitching LOL 😂😂😂

That's funny because Amy played Jodi in Smallville. She tried to eat Pete Ross. Lol.

That would have been chefs kiss!

Enchanted made me a fan of her

Navaneeth Krishnan nah, Lana was the girl in the bus.

Who wouldn't? 😂

That’s beautiful the way you put it

The new Aquaman is a mediocre send off

I’ve been a fan of her since Enchanted

She looks about 10 years younger.

jhon connorz lois has to be older than superman, it suits the character

I always pictured Lois as being a little older and more experienced than Superman. This has been the case in some past incarnations of the lore. Margot Kidder was older than Christopher Reeve by about three or four years. Terri Hatcher was older than Dean Cain by two or three years. I didn`t mind Amy Adams being nine years older than Henry Cavill. For starters, in Man Of Steel, despite being in her late thirties at the time, Adams could have passed for early-mid thirties and they`re both adults. If Lois were real, it makes sense that she would be around the same age-range as someone like Adams. But I always thought that Anna Kendrick or prior to acting in Marvel`s Doctor Strange, Rachel McAdams, would have made as equally a good Lois Lane as Adams

really ??? i didn't see a difference!1111111111she looks like him and him have the same age

@@iateoyeti5782 if that's the case then the Christopher Reeve Superman made a mistake because wasn't the little girl on the train Lois Lane. Clark was a teenager

It's called a sonic boom

Ugliest Lois Lane.

Lol

Cool Half Life channel picture.

As much as I accept Man of Steel and Guardians of the Galaxy as top tier in the superhero genre, I’m not sure if I’ll see the new Superman. Going to take more than Gunn in the directors chair to get me to hurry to the theater.

Jonathon Myska bvs?

Hamani Omarah definitely not

Cavers definitely yes.

Jonathan Myska: To each his own. I think the Wonder Woman movie was equal or better to The Man of Steel. But of course, that is strictly based on our respective opinions and I do not wish to invalidate your view. Given the number of actors who have played Kal El, Henry Cavill was upper tier, but Chris Reeve was closer to the ideal (IMHO). And Gal Gadot (in your comparison movie) took the role to make it her own. She is a worthy successor to Linda Carter. No other actress ever has been.

@@kegginstructure reeves was closer to superman? Its like saying adam west was closer to batman than anyone

bookworm i think that bald kryptonian was a Clone of Lex in season 10 of smallville

And Helo and Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica..

Norah Stewart so was allassandro juliano

Gogo Sun The world's greatest detective wasn't interested in his identity.

That was Batman V Superman's fault, no Man of Steel's. Irony, that the same man directed both.

zhengyingli agreed, batman was blinded by anger so his main goal was to destroy superman

Gogo Sun That wasn't his objective....

Nevermind that usually Bruce finds out who Clark is in short order.
