Lemme see...and then post-Crisis Supes beats up Silver Age Supes for stalking his wife. And Lois writes an article wondering what it would be like if superheroes acted like they were characters in stories meant for little boys. Which causes Silver Age Supes to get all pissy and join up with Superboy Prime to retcon his good ol' psychopathic Silver Age Lois back.
My mind keeps taking me to nonsensical places whenever I contemplate DC what-ifs.
That Lois Lane proposal she referenced breaks my heart. :( I want thirteen year old Lois Lane adventures with embittered trust fund kid Bruce Wayne and skinny awkward Clark Kent!
When I saw this, I knew immediately she was working from Fleischer Lois. Though Fleischer Lois was super manipulative, prone to foolhardy stunts, and was occasionally quite nasty to Clark, she was mostly just competent, snarky, and fearless.
One time I was flipping through channels with a friend and one of the Fleischer Superman cartoons was on. I told my friend to watch and gave her a big speech about how awesome Lois was in the Fleischer cartoons. But because I was talking it up so much, I expected something to happen that would make Lois look uninteresting and weak and embarrass me. Instead, as soon as I finished my speech, Lois picked up a machine gun and began firing at the bad guys.
