Dan Didio Confirms The End of The Lois Lane/Clark Kent Marriage?
It seems that DC is gutting the marriage between Clark Kent and Lois Lane in the post-Flashpoint world. I suppose where there’s a reboot, there’s the idea that you can separate a couple and get rid of their marriage. That way you can totally get them married again, and get those cheap sales. Right? High-five!
POPCORNBIZ:
After 15 years of wedded bliss (or as close as comic books get to it), are Superman and Lois Lane about to be single again?
DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan Didio hints to PopcornBiz that, on the heels of the recently announcement of a line-wide revamp that will involve both wholesale changes and subtle tweaks to its entire roster of characters, the long-standing marriage between the Man of Steel and Metropolis’ most intrepid reporter just might be wiped away in the new continuity.
“Let’s just say it’s being reexamined,” says Didio, who oversees the 77-year-old comic book company, which relaunches all of its titles with 52 new #1 issues in September, “because it’s something that I think is something that is so valuable to the character’s story that you really want to explore all facets of it. Not just as it exists currently.”
I continue to not comprehend how this DC reboot is actually functioning. As far as I can tell, DC just using it as an excuse to surgically remove portions of continuity that they don’t want any longer. As far as I can tell. Which is, of course, not very far. Or however the end of that saying goes.
