Amy Adams as Lois Lane ~

dcwomenkickingass:

April 18 marked 75 years since Action Comics #1 landed on the newsstand. In that issue Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel introduced the world to one of the most important women in comics - Lois Lane (Superman made his debut in that issue, too). To mark this anniversary I’m chatting with some of her creators to get their thoughts on the character and her place in comic history.You can see the previous pieces here. Today’s thoughts about Lois are from writer and artist Jerry Ordway. Ordway was key creator in the early years of the post-Crisis Lois Lane. He was an artist and writer working on both The Adventures of Superman and Superman in the late 80s/90s including the issues where Lois chooses to marry Clark Kent.

So Jerry, what’s your first memory of Lois Lane?

My first encounter with Lois was in watching reruns of the 1950’s Superman TV show, with the fantastic Noel Neill. She was just so great and spunky as Lois. I was probably around 7 years old at the time.

DCU: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox:
— Lois Lane (Dana Delany) & Superman (Sam Daly)

I have always identified with Lois. She is suited to my personality. When she came up for the third time, I was like, ‘Okay, this is ridiculous. I have to play Lois’. I know other people have played the role, and others will play the role after me, but this was me putting my stamp on it.

She’s a modern day woman, ‘cause she’s an independent working woman, but she’s also able to wear skirts…
