They separated them so that they could make Superman more relatable to a younger audience, however in my opinion, disconnecting him from Lois also disconnects him from humanity. Ironically, this makes the character tougher to identify with, and in the end, harder to like. Lois was his tether to humanity, and it is pointless to break them apart when everyone knows they will get back together again in the end.
I totally agree. Lois Lane was what made Superman more human.
No matter how god-like and extraordinary Superman was, Lois always brought him back down to earth. His love for humanity can be attributed a great deal to Lois, and he would be willing to sacrifice everything just to see her and to make sure she's safe. Their relationship was what made me admire Superman. His righteous morals and values can be reflected through his love for her.
I always feel great after reading a comic where Superman does something so amazing; such as defeating multiple doomsdays in space, almost dying, and saving the earth; but all he wants to do is go back and spend the rest of the day with his wife.
With so many player superheroes out there, isn't it a relief to know that there is atleast one hero that can stay with one woman and that their love can stand the test of time and multiverses? Superman and Lois Lane has become an iconic couple and I doubt the writers will keep them separated for good.
I do agree with both of you in a way.
But considering the fact that Superman was rebooted, its hard and/or strange to have him start the career being already in a relationship with Lois Lane. Besides, I feel like ever since Lois got married to Clark, she has been written alot more of a housewive than the investigative journalist that she is. I would prefer her to be written as a strong female character than a housewife. Not that marriage and career cant co-exist, but people just seemed to get more wrapped up in their love lives than her journalism. Plus the writers have not been writing her in that way ever since they got married.
That's true too. I think since it's just the beginning, they're going to give Superman and Lois Lane's relationship a bumpy start to bring more intrigue and give their love story more depth, but further in, they'll probably end up together. And when they do end up together, that'll bring a sigh of relief to many fans.
