Rachel Brosnahan Wants to Fly as Superwoman

by

In this version, I’ve attempted to maintain the original structure while using simpler language and making it more conversational.

Rachel Brosnahan: “Indeed, she does! In the comic ‘All-Superman-Star’, she transforms into Superwoman for a day on her birthday. There are also other comics in which she obtains powers.

Currently in the comics, she possesses superpowers that you can witness. Whenever I see her displaying these abilities, I’m convinced – ‘I recognize it. It’s definitely Rachel.’

Rachel Brosnahan: “James, are you feeling inspired?”

James Gunn: “Yes, possibly. Every time I see her using her powers, it reminds me that she’s playing Lois Lane, but a part of her still wishes she could fly as well.” (This version maintains the original meaning while sounding more conversational and easy to understand.)

In comic books, Lois Lane has frequently taken on the role of Superwoman, but DC Comics seldom maintains this concept for extended periods. Her first transformation into Superwoman occurred in a “what-if” tale back in 1943. Over the following decades, DC would often revisit this story, usually through the use of magic or advanced science. However, by the end of each issue, Lois Lane’s powers would always disappear. Even Grant Morrison’s acclaimed “All-Star Superman” comic featured a brief stint where Lois became Superwoman in just one issue. This story was particularly noteworthy and iconic because Lois received superpowers for only one day.

More recently, DC has been focusing on crafting extended tales featuring Lois Lane as Superwoman. Despite this focus being slight, it’s notable that in 2016, Lois Lane took on Superman’s powers, launching her own “Superwoman” series. However, within the span of a single issue, Lana Lang assumed the role instead. In the past year, Lois reclaimed the Superwoman mantle after absorbing General Zod’s powers and patrolling Metropolis for six months. Unfortunately, she has since lost these powers once again. It appears that DC is hesitant to keep Lois Lane in a super-powered state for extended periods.

Lois Lane is often seen as a powerful character due to her intelligence and resilience rather than any superpowers. However, when she married Clark Kent and they had a son with powers, their family dynamics shifted significantly. In this comic book family, everyone, including Clark’s relatives and even the family pet, possess powers, except for Lois. This has led to her feeling somewhat sidelined in family adventures, much like the character “the guy in the chair.” If Rachel Brosnahan gets to portray Superwoman in movies, it could potentially inspire similar changes in the comics as well.
