8 DC Characters Who Are Way Better On TV Than Film

Lois Lane

Now, let it be said that all the different adaptations of Lois Lane have been good in their own right – yes, even Amy Adams’ version is great, no matter what the Internet will have you believe. However, there’s one interpretation that stands head and shoulders above the rest: Teri Hatcher’s in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Okay, have you stopped laughing yet? Well, hear us out here for a second before you mercilessly troll the comments section. Hatcher’s Lane was as comic book-accurate as they come. She was a straight-talking reporter, with a lot of drive and attitude, and always getting herself into a pickle because of her desire to get the big scoop – and that’s exactly what Lois is all about throughout the ages. In addition, it helped Hatcher’s cause that she looked a lot like the character from the comic books.

In the later part of the series, she did become annoying and more of a lovesick puppy than the powerful journalist we all loved, but those earlier seasons were pure gold. Hatcher tapped into the essence of Lois Lane and delivered a pitch-perfect performance for the ages.
