8 Great Couples In Superhero Movies

Romance in a superhero movie is difficult to get right. Next to all the necessary action, high stakes and general caped crusading, the love story element isn’t high up on the list of important constituent parts. As such, portraying a strong central relationship that the audience can get behind is no easy feat. Sometimes they end up being tedious – Mr. Fantastic and Sue Storm in 2005’s Fantastic Four – or bizarrely shoe-horned in, like Black Widow and Hulk. How the hell did that one happen?

It’s hard for any other superhero movie couple to beat the most iconic romance in all of comicdom. Discounting the many TV versions of the pair, easily the best of the cinematic Lois and Clarks are Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve from the original Superman films.

They even have the only other moment to rival Peter and MJ’s kiss – the scene where Supes takes Lois out for a fly. Even the dated special effects and that goofy moment with Lois’ rhyming voiceover can’t take away from the chemistry between the characters and the actors.

With the hero having to protect his identity even at the cost of his love life and the woman trying to find out who the hero really is, Superman and Lois’ influence can be felt throughout every subsequent on-screen superhero romance – from Batman and Vicki Vale to Peter and Mary Jane to TV shows like The Flash’s Barry and Iris.
