Okay, I'm pretty sure Lois will win this poll easily, but I'll try it anyway. Which one do you prefer for Superman?
For me, it's Lana hands down. She's always seemed like a fun, affectionate, down-to-earth kind of gal, and Lois is a bit of a shrew as often as not. Granted, both of these characters have had numerous versions over the years with all the DC reboots, but my mental image of Lana as a girlfriend is certainly preferable to my mental image of Lois.

I voted for Lana. I will qualify it by saying the person in the Bronze Age that was pretentious saying “luv” all the time was annoying.

While I voted for Lois, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Lana will take this poll, based on these boards' demographics.

I vote both. Lana was his high school girlfriend and was perfect for his time as Superboy. Lois is perfect for his adult stage.

Superman will break Lana's heart by marrying Lois, but then she'll divorce him when she finds him cheating on her with Jimmy.  |

I think I just figured we're primarily a bunch of older(ish), traditional readers, and on paper Lana is the more traditionally appealing prospect. Hmmm... and now that you've made me think about it, I realize that's a generalization, but hopefully not an offensive one to anybody!  |

I voted Lana as well, classic Lana was the best! Though as a write-in, doomed relationship or not, I'm partial to Lori Lemaris as well. |

Lana. Girl next door always. She is the Betty to Lois' Veronica.

I pick Lois!
Lois’s bad reputation largely derives from a period when Superman was famed for wanton superdickery. So they very much deserve each other.
I wouldn’t want to inflict that on Lana. She’ll get over it.

Granted, both of these characters have had numerous versions over the years with all the DC reboots, but my mental image of Lana as a girlfriend is certainly preferable to my mental image of Lois. See, my mental image of Lois is of the tough, fearless individual who ranks obtaining justice for the little guy as the whole reason she became a reporter in the first place (sort of like Superman except she heads into danger despite not being invulnerable to bullets and not because). That Lois is a fantastic character. However... Mention her in the same breath as Lana and you've already tipped the scales against her. Now my mental image of Superman and his world switches to the Silver Age and Silver Age Lois is an awful character. Not that Lana is much better, but there's a big difference between being a teenage girl who plays hooky from school so she can trick Krypto into betraying Superboy's identity and being a full grown woman who'll keep The President waiting so she can do the same. Silver Age Lois acted like an immature 12 year old child; Silver Age Lana also acted like an immature 12 year old child, but at least that was within her age bracket. Besides, I never cared about superheroes and their love lives anyway and never understood the emphasis on such matters. 'How Will Superman's Showdown with Luthor End?' is what I was into. Why I should care about 'Will Superman Give a Kiss on the Cheek to Lois or Lana?' was beyond me. |
