Meet Lois Lane's New Boyfriend-of-the-Month (Superman #1 spoilers)

Courtesy of New York Daily News, here's an exclusive scene from the new Superman #1 in which Clack meets Lois' new boyfriend:

Annnnnd...I think I'll let the fail speak for itself here. Other than to say maybe those "Superman hooks up with Wonder Woman" rumors may essentially be rooted in a "brooding and loner" Clark (ugh!) getting back at the, once again, all-too clueless Lois for "rejecting" him when she decided to shack up with an all-too obvious douchebag...who, of course, she'll end up dumping in less than a year. Way to alienate your readers and Superman fans alike here, DC.

	Wanted to post this, but just read it and I have to say this is WORSE than BND. i know, it's hard to believe, but this is just... awful. I like how Lois is kinda portrayed as kindof a bitch here too, really classy DC. Honestly, this reboot makes me want to cry blood (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 18 comments) (Show 18 comments)

I may be missing a ton of subtext, but what about this makes Lois seem "kind of a bitch"? Clark has shown up unannounced when she has her boyfriend around, she introduces him, it's amicable and Clark leaves because he's a third wheel. We also find out that Lois has tried to find Clark a date in the past, but there's never been anything between them.

They all appear to be acting like reasonable, amicable adults to me.

	On the plus side, we don't have a Lois and Clark who have dated and it didn't work out, or nearly got married, but didn't. They've never dated at all, and so the field is clear for the future. I'm not sure I'm interested, but strictly speaking for myself, I'm not outraged by this. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)

	So can someone explain this DC reboot? Is it basically a straight up reimagining or is it picking up from one specific point in continuity? Does this affect the entire universe or are some titles still following the original continuity? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	For a second there reading the first scan I thought that the black guy might be Lois' new beau, to which I thought "hey that might be kind of interesting, forced but hey" Theeennnn I realized it was a blond Aryan asshole that was shirtless and had the most "I WILL EVENTUALLY BE EVIL" grin I've ever seen.

	Anyone else find Lois', "Maybe you should find someone to celebrate with as well!" really weird? I mean, the dialogue that Clark overhears afterwards shows that she basically knows that Clark is a loner and isn't dating anyone, so she's basically telling him that he should go find a random person to have sex with. 0_o (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	From her tone, I think she fairly genuinely believes that he should find himself a significant other of his own, since she doesn't like to see him lonely. Maybe just so he has someone he can go have a celebratory drink with at times like this. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	This scene made me very uncomfortable and took me a while to figure out why - on his way to ring on the bell, the scene is silent and Clark interrupts Lois and her boyfriend in all innocence. On the way to the lift, though, he's listening in, even though he knows they're about to get intimate. That's pretty freaking skeevy.

	O god. He's a superperv. Plus: implications--is it possible that his heightened senses would have known Lois had company? Or does his hearing tune in and out at will. Eithe way, he's a creep at the end of the scene (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I can't believe they're doing this. I mean, I sorta understand Marvel doing it. They knew there'd be a backlash but I can at least kinda, sorta imagine they didn't realize how big it was going to be. Now DC does the same thing, fully knowing how badly Marvel's version went down. That's just bizzarre. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	This just feels so awkward. I mean, it's not the worst thing ever but I feel so uncomfortable reading it. Like, I'm fine with Clark and Lois just being co-workers or pals but somehow adding other romantic interests is upsetting.

	I hate to say this, but the artist and colourist's job on that makeup, combined with the shirtlessness, tight outfits, sexual tension etc., makes Lois resemble a sex worker. Poor form.
