A wide range of actors, from Kirk Alyn to Henry Cavill, have donned the Kryptonian cape of Superman. But a large section of DC fans hail Christopher Reeve as the definitive version of the character. Despite Henry Cavill’s fame in the role, unlike Reeve, his story ended abruptly when James Gunn took over DC Studios.
Recently a clip shared by Turner Classic Movies gave us a look into the terrific chemistry shared between Christopher Reeve’s Superman and Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane. The fans were sent on a nostalgic ride as the clip, featuring an iconic scene from the 1978 Richard Donner film, presented the best live-action version of Lois Lane.
Was Christopher Reeve’s 1978Supermanthe best portrayal of the character?
Richard Donner impressed fans when he released the 1978Supermanmovie withChristopher Reeve, Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman,Margot Kidder, and numerous others. The film was a massive box office success and a critical hit. While the film generated three sequels, the first part is hailed by many DC fans as the most memorable portrayal of the Last Son of Krypton’s story.

In an Instagram video posted byTurner Classic Movies, the fans revisited the iconic scene of the first interaction of Lois Lane and Superman in the 1978 film. The clip featured a mature take on the characters’ chemistry as Lois Lane flirtily asks“How big are you?”.It was immediately followed by another awkward moment as Lane states“I assume then, that the—the rest of your bodily functions are normal?”.
Despite the popularity of Henry Cavill’sMan of Steel, many fans complain about Amy Adam’s Lois Lane. It stands as one of the worst versions to date. However, Margot Kidder’s version is the opposite and adds a rom-com dynamic to the otherwise usual superhero flick. In the comments of the post, fans also noted that it is a carefully crafted s*xual scene.
As user Sierra Randall commented:“Wait? Wait a minute. Did she say how BIG are you?!?!”, other fans also became nostalgic and joined the fun. Another user Andre Clemons commented:“Lois let the intrusive thought slip.”Nobody can deny that like Reeve, the late actress had an incredible part in the movie and was more than a Damsel in Distress.
