Superman: 5 Reasons Why Erica Durance Is The Best Lois Lane Ever

1. She Was With Us The Longest

Smallville Coming on as a guest star in season four, promoted to regular in season five, and remaining throughout the remainder of the show's five seasons makes seven consecutive years of Durance/Lois, longer than any other actress was in the role. And while time doesn't necessarily mean things will improve, it can definitely help. In Durance's case, it definitely did. Not that there was anything wrong with her portrayal from the beginning, but by way of character development, we got to watch her grow from a troublemaking teenaged Lois to the reporter we all know and love. That journey was, much like Clark's own, fascinating to watch unfold. Being in love with Superman wasn€™t the major issue in her character arcs. She had her own struggles to deal with, like finding her place and purpose in the world, and deciding how best to do what she believed was right, which gave her depth that we often don€™t get to see from Lois Lane. Who's your favorite Lois? Let us know in the comments section below.
