I'm amazed at how Reeve makes Clark practically invisible! His acting is incredible in and out of costume but the chemistry with Lois is always there.

[@STho205]

That was the first production to make Clark shy and nerdy to hide his identity. The comics and the earlier shows, Clark is as bigger than life hero as Superman... So she had to be an idiot of an ace reporter to be fooled by glasses alone. Part of the humor for adults watching with their kids.

Tom & Erica will always be my favourite Clark & Lois, it was Smallville that introduced me to the Superman universe. Teri & Dean are a close second for me.

[@temper44]

I think the reason the show worked so well for so long was the ensemble cast. Tom Welling started out as a quite limited actor, so they basically filled the cast with good supporting actors and told a story around him. As he matured as an actor, the show only got better for it.

Tom is absolutely amazing. But I enjoyed Smallville until they started throwing in too much Superman/Krypton characters and themes. I never was a fan of Superman or Batman. So I enjoyed Smallville like I did Heroes or Misfits. Not as a part of Superman franchise.

[@claudiam.4703]

In the old days of Smallville, I was a total fan of their performance as Clark&Lois. Their chemistry together was off-the-chart and we used to call them 'disgrace' for the beautiful chemistry they had when on the show together...I was utterly in love with them. They were simply perfect together as Clark&Lois...naturally, there were factions, and different fans thought that Tom&Erica weren't good as a couple, but for us lovers of the duo there was no game for other ships!!!! Tom&Erica, our disgrace forever!!!!!!! The most perfect Clark&Lois on screen!!!

[@damouze]

The way their story was woven makes them the best pairing in all of the fictional couple's publication history. Even though I saw just about every Superman (and Lois) live action movies and series, starting with Christopher Reeves' and Margot Kidders', to me Erica Durance will always be _the_ Lois Lane. What makes them perfect for eachother in my eyes that it took them an entire season to even begin to like eachother. The season 4 opener (the one introducing Lois Lane) is remains my favourite episode till this day.

She was the best Lois I've seen. Dean Cain at that time looked like a handsome version of John Boy Walton in the glasses and makeup...so it fit. Onscreen colaboration was THE BEST.

Erica Durance just killed it from the moment she said "I'm Lois Lane." Smallville was probably my favorite Superhero show of all time because of how incredibly well written and creative it was and its version of Lois Lane's back story has to be my all time favorite. The new Superman and Lois series on CW which is also very well written kept most of that back story which I identified with coming from a military family and having my mother die young like hers did. Kidder's first meeting with Clark was fairly normal and traditional although her first meeting with Superman was simply iconic.

I know it's incredibly geeky and awkward to reply to a 7-month-old comment, but I feel exactly the same way! There are so many instances where Brandon flashes a nerdy smile as Clark, and then you suddenly see Reeve. It's the thin upper lip smile with cute creases at the sides of the mouth - and the teeth look similar too. Nostalgia hits pretty hard!!

@@Iram_Ali That’s not geeky, you’re good! Especially since I decided to reply a year later haha. It’s like it’s obvious he doesn’t look exactly like Reeves. But there are moments where Routh just feels so familiar. I don’t know what others have said about him, but even though Reeves was the first favourite (since I grew up with him first), Routh was always my close second fave. Both held tje same level of kindness, gentle good hearted nature. From both original Clark and Superman. Then, Henry Cavill became a personal favourite for a whole different level. He represented the extreme raw strength, otherworldly Godlike aspect of the character.

After his paralysis, Reeve worked calmly for DECADES to ensure no one would ever be as powerless as he was, again. He was more disabled relative to ordinary people than we are relative to Superman. He truly had lost his powers. And he was more powerful and effective without them. For this reason no one other than Chris Reeve can truly be counted as Superman. Pick your favourite Lois, sure, but for Chris, Superman was his audition to be one of the most heroic people that ever existed.

And they's got the hots on each other Welling & Durance- Cute-awkward 1st meet and definitely more teen-oriented Routh & Bosworth- Strictly co-workers, but definitely one-sided interest love from the clumsy one Cavill & Adams- Had an interesting 1st meet, but divulged into boring exposition Hoechlin & Tulloch- Very sweet and natural with mutual love and respect from each other.

Never noticed or forgot that Reeve's hair isn't as slicked as usual in that last scene of his Clark. I also like that with the scene just before they get on the elevator, Teri's Lois sort of looks simultaneously annoyed and proud of Cain's Clark's joke.

[@ThornOfSociety]

Coming back to this, for certain that while I like Noel Neill's Lois of the two Phyllis Coates was my favourite Lois. Also looking back at Kirk Alyn's looks and performance, I can see similarities to Tyler Hoechlin's Clark and Superman, even the smile.

[@majkus]

It's getting so that they desaturate the color, even in bright daylight scenes, so much that in another ten years, we will be back to Superman in black and white.

[@jerryterwase9027]

Very true and great observation.

[@WimpyKelv12]

I guess that makes all this full circle…

[@hazwaniizzati5342]

Erica durance and tom welling the best!

[@PaperbackWizard]

Having Amy Adams' Lois figure out who Clark is *before* even officially meeting him was a bold choice, but ultimately, I believe it was the right one. She *is* a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, after all.

[@Yibambe.]

Exactly. Lois Lane is brilliant and tenacious and highly principled. All of those characteristics came to light in Adams' portrayal.

[@ZakEmber]

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman tried something different and had Clark be just as friendly and kind as ever, but also well-traveled, well-dressed, sophisticated, and anything but 'mild'. I actually liked it a lot, and Dean Cain/Teri Hatcher had some outstanding screen banter and chemistry in that show! It was fun to see a version of Clark who was cool and confident, but most importantly, I thought the show nailed that the character is *Clark Kent* first and foremost, and Superman is the disguise. Superman is what he can do because of where he came from, but Clark is _who he is_, down to loving pizza and basketball on Saturday nights and going line dancing at corn festivals when visiting home. I think a lot of Superman material later owes a little something to this show because they showed definitively how interesting Lois & Clark are as people doing their jobs as reporters and why their relationship is so much fun!

[@Reepicheep-1]

That was almost a line in the show too, "Superman is what I can do. Clark is who I _am."_

[@syaffsullivan7472]

I'm born in the 90's, Grew up with Smallville.. So, The 'Blur' Tom & Erica is my world Universe.. Nobody can change that..

[@billie8036]

OK, I didn't want to watch the new series about Lois and Clark, but after seeing this scene, well, you talked me into it

[@Kairi1416]

I'm so happy that Brandon Routh got to play Superman again in Crisis. And this is a nice reminder of how Superman and Louis are still one of the greatest couples in media.

[@Trojan0304]

Teri & Dean were magic❤❤

[@TrevorCopter]

Apparently Christopher Reeve was the first Superman to get his job at the Daily Planet BEFORE he started using Superman to get stories 🤣🤣🤣

[@MelissaGarrett1980]

Technically, Tom Welling’s Clark Kent got the job because Lois gave him the application and the Luthors owned the Daily Planet. He didn’t become The Blur until months later.

[@bookworm598]

Dean Cain got his job before he started being Superman too

[@marlenehibiskus]

thanks for showing the Kirk alyn and Noel Neil sequence, i never watched this before

[@Yibambe.]

Thank you so much for this! My lifelong favorite couple gets better with every rendition.

[@SteveBrant55]

Thanks for this compilation. I don't feel the need to choose "the best". I like seeing how it was handled at different times / in different story telling eras.

[@bgold2007]

Not just a nice compilation but a nice presentation. Subtitles were --- Super!

[@ellishabaptiste6989]

Love the time capsule. 👍

[@Lambertinitamika]

The 1948 Hats are a Hoot..! 😁

[@Montesama314]

Dean and Hatcher have a great vibe that I didn't recognize when I was a child.

You forgot Laundry Day a Superman fan film full of heart and made with love.

Tom & Erica and Hoechlin & Bitsie were amazing.

[@RobertsonIsland]

Smallville’s will always be the best cause he hates her for like 3 seasons and it cracks me up

[@crhu319]

Ikr it's the best tension build ever

[@davidgraham8299]

She irritates him but I don't think he hates her.

[@FilmFloozy]

Nice montage! Thanks for sharing!

[@renecorrea1008]

I’m an old guy. George Reeves will always be my favorite Superman.

[@patrickmusson4571]

These vids are wonderful, Wunderbar amazing. I didn't even realize how much I loved Superman until these trips down memory lane jogged my memory. I watched George Reeves's Superman when it was broadcast for the first time. That show and I were born around the same time, incredible.

[@jasmindamt6066]

Lois and Clark are my favourite comic book couple and Tom & Erica are my favourite version.

[@mikefit3343]

13:19 Right after Lois said: " You're not keeping up with your end of the conversation it would've been sass if Clark shrugged his shoulders and said: " I have nothing too say" *and walks out lol 😂

[@Angyali]

Somehow the time I could mostly symphatize with Clark was his first jobinterview in front of Perry - in any version.

[@KrisKrisKrissy]

Several of these are great, but I have to say Teri and Dean have the best instant chemistry.

[@QueenMegaera]

I love all of these and each one of them makes the others better.

[@joshpinchuk7061]

This was fantastic. Thanks for putting it together.

[@traceyanderson7489]

Tom and Erica had the best chemistry.

[@12feettall6]

NO!

[@TJUC123]

They used to be my favorite version of the characters, but I think Tyler and Bitsie have them beat in chemistry. I think Dean and Teri have better chemistry, too.

[@techinrl9869]

The only ones who had terrible chemistry were Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh. The others were good or great. If I were to put them in order of best to least chemistry, it would be, 1) Dean Cain/Teri Hatcher, 2) Tom Welling/Erica Durance, 3) Tyler Hoechlin/Elizabeth Tulloch, 4) Christopher Reeve/Margot Kidder, 5) George Reeves/Noel Neill, 6) George Reeves/Phyllis Coates, 7) Henry Cavill/Amy Adams, and 8) Brandon Routh/Kate Bosworth. I never did see the Kirk Alyn version, so I can’t speak to that. Henry and Amy might have moved up the ranks, but the movies just never gave Amy Adams that much to do. I’m sure others will disagree with my order, and that’s fine.

[@commanderbracey7501]

Teri and Dean always warmed my heart. 😏

[@rogerschneider5971]

@@techinrl9869 you did see Kirk Alyn. He's the first one in this video.

[@jsdemonaco]

this was great, so fun to see and/or re-see these intros. thanks for making it.

[@edwardbenkert6394]

Superman rocks

[@artembentsionov]

It’s sad what happened to the Superman Returns version of Lois. A certain madman from Gotham attacks the paper, poisons the building, and bludgeons Lois to death (presumably while laughing maniacally). Clark is left to raise Jason alone. There’s a neat moment in Crisis where he sees Jonathan Kent, the son of his alternate version from Earth-38 (except post-Crisis Jonathan is now a teenager and has a twin brother Jordan, both named after Clark’s fathers). And, of course, the hilarious scene of him interacting with his human doppelgänger Ray Palmer

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

Thing is: 3:00 - George Reeves first met Phyllis Coates as Lois - but then in 1953 he got to meet Lois AGAIN as Noel Neill, who was the Lois in Kirk Alyn's Superman serial. 00:13

[@rytterl]

Erica will never be anything other than perfection. God damn she's hot! And she made Lois awesome! Clark and Lois on Smallville had such a great storyline, it's impossible to not love her.
