Earlier this week, we got a look at the new Superman suit from Superman & Lois. I mentioned that we would be seeing something including Clark’s better half soon as well. That time is now, with the first official look at Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane.
I hear what you’re saying, we’ve seen Bitsie as Lois already. I get that, but we are talking about a bit of a different Lois here. Now she’s balancing her life as the top reporter in Metropolis with her family life. Remember, that now includes two boys. Still, she looks as strong and confident as ever. No surprise, I know.
Tulloch also talked about her appreciation for the character in a recent statement: “From the very beginning, going back to when she was introduced in 1938, Lois Lane as a character defied society’s expectations of how women should behave. Women at that point were more typically portrayed as demure, but Lois was always opinionated and unapologetic and uncompromising and a career-woman. Part of why she has remained so compelling for so many years is that she’s also vulnerable and fallible, romantic, and goofy, and a clutz — I just find her really appealing.”
There is also something else that she loves about Lois, that I have always loved too. She went on to say, “I find Lois inspiring in how little she gives a crap about what anyone thinks of her. She’s not doing the work for glory or more Pulitzers, she’s doing it because she believes in justice and truth. She is incredibly driven and determined and hard-working, and she really embodies the aphorism ‘be the change you wish to see in the world.’ She is not intimidated by anyone. She wants to save the world with words.”
We’re still a couple of months away from seeing it all come together. Superman & Lois premieres Tuesday, February 23, at 9pm on The CW.
