Lois Lane Appreciation 2023

Mom's can get crazy fast when they dont want their kids to see their kinky side. haha.


I read something a little bit ago where someone suggested Lois always being bad at spelling be used as a vehicle to say she is dyslexic. That would be a major thing for the character and for dyslexic individuals in real life to show that even with it, you can still achieve great things. thoughts?

I like to think of it as more of a character quirk, but you never know...

I prefer to see it as more than a quirk. Disability representation is important and sadly lacking, even in modern media.

As a quirk for a neuro-typical professional, I feel it leans as a bit too much of a “Hahaha! It’s fun to suggest Lois is stupid, amirite?!?” Detail from the Silver Age; I get that it likely wasn’t meant that way, but it still raises my heckles whenever I see it. She’s already dealing with the fact that the central conceit of her relationship with Clark is being fooled by glasses; we don’t need to give her any other humorous quirks that would have your average middle schooler rolling their eyes.

The idea of her having some actual dyslexia, on the other hand, and still becoming a Pulitzer winning journalist who doesn’t feel shame about getting someone to check her award winning journalism’s spelling feels like that would work an actual characterization moment.

^^^^This. I've never seen Lois as neurotypical anyway, but I'd love canon confirmation of it.
