Whenever you read Lois Lane’s dialogue in the pages of DC Comics, there’s a pretty good chance that you hear Dana Delany’s voice in your head. I know I do!

Yes, we’re taking a rare break from ranking the live-action Lois Lane actresses to celebrate the woman who voiced the character on Superman: The Animated Series and became the voice of Lois Lane for a whole generation of kids who watched that show growing up. It just wouldn’t have felt right looking at best versions of Lois without acknowledging her performance.

That performance is rather pivotal in highlighting what a modern day Lois could look like. While Lois has always been an unapologetic and independent reporter, Delany adds a sense of fierceness, wit, sarcasm, and charm to the character we hadn’t seen much of before. You know whenever she speaks it means something, and she isn’t afraid to talk her way to the truth. So if you found yourself in a verbal altercation with her, good luck to you.

Lois Lane is a force to be reckoned with, and that was never clearer than it was in Superman: The Animated Series. Delany doesn’t get enough credit for her performance and we’re making sure she gets it today.
