đź’Ş Superman Exclusive: Lois Lane Superpowers
James Gunn lets us in on Rachel Brosnahan's secret desire for a powered Lois Lane in Superman, which isn't as far-fetched as you might think.
Tuesday Edition July 15, 2025
Some people like to accuse Superman of being too powerful. Being impervious to bullets is one thing, but does he need flight, x-ray vision, heat vision, super strength, and freezing breath? It all seems like a lot for one hero to possess.
Yet somehow we find ourselves looking for even more superpowers in James Gunn’s blockbuster movie. No, we don’t mean Krypto, the villains, or any of the Justice League cameos. Instead, we explore the powers that Lois Lane had in some early comics, given that Rachel Brosnahan is angling to gain some of them. And we take a closer look at the narrative super-strength that journalism has in Superman, saving the day in more ways than one.
They say not all superheroes wear capes. Well, as it turns out, not all superpowers come from the heroes themselves, either.
