7. The Superman/Lois Relationship
The Problem I dont have a problem with Lois knowing Supermans secret identity right off the bat. Although Id prefer the whole Clark/Lois/Superman love triangle, its not like its impossible to tell Superman stories with Lois knowing the truth. And doing it right from the start both showcases her skill as an investigative reporter and also gives us a new way of telling this story. So thats not my problem. My problem is that they go from strangers to friends to holding hands to kissing with almost zero interaction. Its almost like Snyder and Goyer just felt, hey, everyone knows theyre going to get together, so lets just put them together.
The Fix You know a good way to put a twist on this? Make Superman
earn Lois trust. Dont just start right off the bat with her admiring him and being in awe of him, start off with her wary of him and his powers, especially given the appearance of the Kryptonians. All due credit to Amy Adams for playing Lois as the tough character she is, but the one thing missing from her portrayal is that Lois needs to challenge Superman.
