10 comic book characters who deserve a Last Dance documentary
By Mark Lynch
4. Lois Lane: Keeping the Secret
Lois Lane kept the biggest secret in the comic book universe for decades: She knew Clark Kent was Superman. Imagine being a world class reporter and having the biggest story ever and not being able to tell it.
The temptation must have been overwhelming – so much so that when he did reveal who he was (Superman No. 18) Lois told Superman that she’s been writing a piece on his identity since their honeymoon. It makes sense. At some point, the secret was going to come out and the story would have to be written. It’s only right that she would be the one to write it.
This wouldn’t be just about Superman. Over the years, Lois has been privy to information that some people would kill for. She’s done and seen things that we could only dream of. She’s gone on a double date with Batman and Catwoman (Batman No. 37), threw a bachelorette party for Catwoman, hung out in space, and was on scene after Superman was “killed” by Doomsday.
Knowing Lois Lane, she’d probably want to direct the documentary herself and conduct the interviews. She has the background, skill, and she can even call on all the heroes for favors as well.
