Lois Lane in the Adult Swim and Max animated series My Adventures With Superman is a reimagined tomboy version of the classic DC character, drawn with short dark hair, brown skin and brown eyes. After the show's July 2023 debut, fans turned her redesign into a running Twitter conversation mixing thirsty praise with heated debate over whether she still looks like Lois.

Overview

Lois Lane in My Adventures With Superman is the Daily Planet reporter and love interest reworked as a short-haired, brown-skinned tomboy with brown eyes, a sharp break from the long dark hair and lighter eyes typical of the comics1. Fan posts about her tend to split between thirstposting over the redesign and comparisons to the 1996 Lois from Superman: The Animated Series1.

Typical posts are screencap grids, single reaction stills and side-by-side edits weighing in on whether the new look fits the character. Favorable tweets praise the design directly, like @TheEternalEvil writing "I'm really loving this Lois Lane design"2, while critics argue the show strayed too far from the source material4. The debate pulled in quote-tweets showing Lois across different comic runs to prove points about hair length and eye color6.

Origin & Background

Platform
Adult Swim / Max (show), Twitter (viral spread)
Date
2023

My Adventures With Superman premiered on Adult Swim and Max on July 6, 2023, with Adult Swim first teasing the show in a trailer posted to its YouTube channel on June 5, 2023 that passed 500,000 views within the month1. The new Lois design appeared in that trailer, and reaction tweets about her look started circulating almost immediately on Twitter1.

There is no single "origin post" for the Lois Lane meme itself since the attention grew out of the show's marketing cycle. The earliest widely shared fan reaction cited by Know Your Meme is a tweet from @TheEternalEvil praising the design, which gathered over 75,000 likes across the following three months2.

How It Spread

Reaction to the redesign moved fast on Twitter through June and July 2023. On June 7, 2023, @tomboy_otd posted a grid of Lois Lane screencaps from the show that passed 30,000 likes in two weeks, pitching her as a tomboy icon3. Tweets like these set the tone for most of the positive engagement, which leaned into horny-posting about the character's look1.

Pushback followed later in the summer. On July 9, 2023, @dying_scribe tweeted a photo of the new Lois with the caption "I don't get how people are calling this Lois Lane though. Where?" questioning the design's fidelity to the comics4. @Nordic_Nordic replied with an edit giving Lois longer hair and blue eyes, a response that was heavily quote-tweeted1. @jhon_lawrence1 jumped into the thread to point out that Lois is often drawn with purple eyes in the comics, not blue6.

Thirstier takes kept the conversation going into the show's run, with accounts like Prince Vegeta tweeting "Lois Lane got us down bad" on July 10, 2023, a line that became a recurring tag for fan art and screencap edits1.
