Since 2022 with the 'Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story' was published. The story is some YA novel writen by Sarah Kuhn who wrote 'Shadow of the Batgirl' and 'Heroine Complex'
Aside from Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends in which I did not recognize Lex Luthor in a crowded gang of villains, Superman TAS was my first and only exposure to him for a while in childhood, and I absolutely thought he was a black man.
That feels like a racist parody.
So close. It's cute enough but it just doesn't feel like those characters.
Good joke. It's clearly Alexander Luthor.
Holy shit, they using shit from the YA novels... Race swapping, YA shit and gala bullshit with the same character. This must be record. Its only missing Lois becoming Bi, non-binary, or she becoming a Ladyboy.
Technically she's a gook.
Sounds awfully progressive to me.
Is having characters going to some kind of formal event and dressing up for it a common trope in this kind of media? I remember seeing it in She-Ra but I didn't think it was a trend so much as the writer being mentally stuck in high school and wanting to shove a prom in there for no good reason, though the writing of this does lead me to believe that the people behind it have the same problem.
I think Marvel had TWO gala events, and i almost sure both are in X-men books, and absolute disasters. Not sure about DC, but Gothan High exists. Half the plots in Marvel comics are the writers doing surprise group therapy with the reader and the main theme is: - High Schools sucks, I hate my dad so much, and Daddy not fucked my hard enough.
And of course they didn't draw it right.
It doesn't say in the episode, but I really hope it isn't Lex. I'm going to be pissed if his first appearance is as an assistant for Ivo that gets sucker punched by Lois.
"See everyone? We're in on that whole animey trend too! SEND US MONEY"
Teen Titans 2003 had an entire episode of Robin being forced to prom with Killer Moth's daughter. Starfire tags along and tries to fight her so that she can have her mans. Episode ends with the girl having her spider-head boyfriend take her back, and Robin and Starfire getting a romantic evening. It was an episode that probably birthed this Tumblr generation as Tumblr ate it up.
Lois, Clark and Jimmy are all interns in this series, and even then most incarnations of Lois would rather get dirty for a good scoop than cover some inane bullshit for an easy payday.
They couldn't even draw a good looking suit for Clark, and the buttons on Jimmy's vest are also wrong if it was meant to be double-breasted rather than a simple animation error. And on that subject, why is it that Jimmy Olsen is the one wearing the incredibly conservative outfit complete with a buff waistcoat and tie pin whilst Clark is wearing a slab of flannel that makes him look wider than a European car?
Probably because they're trying to copy the anime pixie-cut tomboy waifu aesthetic. There is one thing though - Japs know how to write a good tomboy. These cartoon inbreds, on the other hand, don't.
if that's the case then this opens up the can of worms of "how the fuck did this bitch not know Clark = Superman the entire fucking time?" in every single superman cartoon in existance. Like is lois that dumb she couldn't immediately put 2 & 2 together by not only his voice but his looks? Or are glasses just the magical face mask in cartoon world?
Hilariously, you actually said the comic answer at the end. I guess his glasses have some Kryptonian tech that disguises him, whatever?
