This One Moment Made Superman Permanently Fall for Lois Lane
“The Moment Attraction Became Devotion”
Superman and Loishave been together for decades. While they didn’t start out as lovers — thoughthey both debuted in 1938’sAction Comics#1— they always had a romantic attraction to one another. Eventually, that attraction bloomed into a relationship and the two started dating. But dating doesn’t always lead to love. While the two were clearly attracted to one another, it’s that Lois stands for truth and justice just as much as Superman does that finally pushed those feelings of just attraction over into outright love. Their love has remained the strongest in all of the DC Universe ever since.
But unlike every other relaunched character, the original Superman and Lois remained.
Thelove between Superman and Lois Lane is so strong that it’s actually crossed universes. During the New 52, DC relaunched every series, includingnew versions of Batman and Superman. But unlike every other relaunched character, the original Superman and Lois remained. After Rebirth reset DC continuity once again, the couple managed to cross over from the pre-New 52 universe and continued living in this new one. It’s rare that two characters love one another so much that they can outright ignore an entire universal reboot. And it’s that same impossible love that Superman needs to keep facing the incredible challenges in his life.

When Superman is going up against impossible odds, he needs someone in his corner who supports him, and there’s no one who can cheerSupermanon more than the love of his life,Lois Lane.
