This isn't surprising of course, as the obvious reason Lois has undergone such an evolution is because she's been around for over eighty years now. Lois debuted in 1938, during an era where "shrill obnoxious nag" was a perfectly acceptable archetype for a hero's love interest, and was commonly employed. In the fiction, I imagine countless lives that could have been saved were lost because Superman was too busy being distracted by this meddling harpy's latest scheme to expose his secret identity.
Yet over the decades, her role started to shift. Rather than being a direct nuisance to Superman, she merely needed saving all the time, which was a huge step upward as far as likability was concerned. By the time I came across her 90's version on the animated series, she got into trouble often, sure, but she also actually...helped? Every now and then? It was a change for the better, no question.
But that's where my personal knowledge ends, as I haven't kept up on the comics since, or seen another animated series where she was a central character. I wonder what she's like now? And how she's changed to reflect the times? If you have any info or opinions to share, let me know in the comments! :)

Sounds pretty awesome. :)

She's kind of the best right now. She's a kick-ass wife and mother(their son Jonathan is a sweet boy) who's the best investigative journalist on the planet and tends to help more than hinder these days. She's also fierce enough to give Batman a dressing-down when he's out of line. And they're kind of horny as fuck for a married couple, no lie.

Cool! That sounds like something worth checking out. :)

Pretty sure Lois Lane has never cheated on Supes. I mean, I'm sure she wanted to, but with super-hearing, x-ray vision and super-speed, there's almost no chance of success. (yes, completely unrelated to your post, but these are my thoughts!) Recently, Lois has had her own comic, which defines her in the modern age; different than her past spinoff issues.

She was a sass-machine on the show if memory serves, so it seemed fitting. XD

I can see why they do it though. As of now, the cast of TRW are all high school seniors for the foreseeable future simply because I have so many stories to tell that all revolve around the school.

Thanks!

Very well done, she has a fine looking ass.

I kind of hate the changes over time for non-immortal characters that are treated as eternally the same age, as it leads to a fandom that is fractured along the “x age” lines. If I ever had a comics company, time would be blocked out and accounted for. Would also have a rpg system all characters would have to use, for consistency.

Despite the fact that she's wearing a lot of clothes, I really like this one. She has a cute little butt, and her wet ladyhood just looks RIDICULOUSLY inviting. The sassy expression helps a lot :).

I think so! :)

A true classic

Those old Bruce Timm DC designs mark the end of an era where cartoon women were allowed to dress sexy lol. There are some modern exceptions, (in fact if you know any I'd love to hear them) but that kind of thing is pretty rare anymore.

I think TAS Lois has one of the nicest designs. Gotta love that hair and that criminally tiny skirt.
