Yang & JRJR Interview.
I really think they won't undermine Lois here, i mean Yang seems to be a pretty intelligent guy and whole team of writers and editors came up with this idea. They won't all just go, sure who cares about Lois here when we can use her as a plot device.
@deathfalcon182: since when is Lois Lane not a plot device?
She's the original DiD in superheroics (plot device).
Any other readings of Lois is and adaptation to make her less suck-y.
Anyway, the comment section is a cornucopia of all things wrong with Superman and Lois--or Wonder Woman.
You can't write any of them less than perfect or people complain and DC has to write a bland Superman again.
I really wish DC would create new women for Clark so that he has some adventure. I get not wanting to write a flawed Wonder Woman(don't destroy one franchise for the other), but why should Lois not do the job she is created to do--move the story forwards.
If Lois can't do that, what use is she to the franchise?
@superguy1591: I'm all for lois exposing Clark but she needs to have a serious motivation behind it otherwise it's lazy writing. No best friend would do something this rash without even thinking of consequences. If they try to sell "oh she's a journalist" then it's a lazy writing at best, writer despising lois lane at worst. She's a journalist but she's also a very close to both Superman and Clark and certainly not dumb enough to figure out she's putting everyone close to Superman and Superman himself at risk.
Idea is cool, execution needs to be perfect here.

Lois and Clark being best friends was never explored in the N52. We're told that Lois and Clark are friends and it is never told why theyre a team. Their relationship, like all other relationships involving the two, relies on nostalgia more than story telling.
Lois wouldn't understand why Clark needs to be Clark sometimes in the N52.
Maybe we can get a nice development that makes her understand who he is.
@superguy1591: Yeah, it's always implied but never explored heavily. Maybe what you're saying is the way it is headed, most likely. All i want is not to alienate their relationship further. Man so many fanboys will be pissed if that's how it happens.
@deathfalcon182: No one thinks Superman and Lois won't be an item when it's all said and done. She could slap his mom and it wouldn't alienate their relationship.
She already said she loved Bruce Wayne; if fanboys can take that Lois is immune from fanboy rage.
@2cool4fun: that is pretty much how I feel about the Thor threads. So I feel your pain bro.

Both forums have the right to complain. Complaining keeps you in the popular forums ;)
Guys come on, can we have a thread where you do not talk about the bad stuff? I'm tired of hearing about how people don't like JRJR's art.
It was better in this issue, colorist change paid off imo.

I just made a Superman 40 discussion thread. You can get your chance to praise JRJR there for a change ;) I know I did.
@squalleon: answer me this does superman still look like a really fucking ugly gorilla in issue 40 ?
