Superman Kills Lois Lane

Superman Kills Lois Lane
John Gholson

He mentioned a few specific plot points, most of them idiotic, and the most offensive of these bits takes place in issue #3 - a comic that finds Superman punching his pregnant wife so hard that it kills her and sends her flying into space. Sure, he’s hallucinating that Lois Lane is Doomsday, but the event still happens. Sims has a pretty thorough critical breakdown of the series, so I’m not going to do that here, but I am going to pound the stump, pull up a soapbox, and cry in the streets to anyone who will listen that DC Comics allowing Superman to punch Lois Lane and his unborn child to death is easily one of the stupidest things that the company has ever allowed in its long, long history.

My goodness. I’m sort of glad I’m not into actual comic books, just comic book movies (that are done well). This is so uncool, and unnecessary. I cannot imagine what anyone was thinking that allowed this.
