'Superman's Clark Kent & Lois Lane Romance Was Inspired by 'His Girl Friday'

Superman is about to put a new spin on the iconic romance between Clark Kent and Lois Lane, and a classic piece of cinema was cited as a major inspiration. Superman and Lois Lane are the most famous couple in all of comics, having been together in some form since Action Comics #1 in 1938. The typical dynamic between them, from George Reeves' The New Adventures of Superman to the Christopher Reeve Superman films, is that Lois Lane is head-over-heels for Superman. Though he shares those same affections for her, he often feels like he can't be with her because of a greater duty to the world. However, it seems James Gunn's Superman is messing with the formula in some exciting ways.
