Dean Cain Reveals How He Thinks Lois & Clark Has Affected Current CBM's!

No offense, but when did Lois & Clark corner the market on "relationship based dynamics" in comic book shows? What an A$$-hat! Even if Lois & Clark was the first to add said dynamic to true comic book filmed media... it's not like it was a damn epiphany of the ages. It's been written in the source material for decades. This douche is attention starved.

Ok... maybe a little intended offense. Apologies.

hahahaha oh god no you couldnt be more wrong, even though I loved the show when I was younger

actually he could be right about the show influencing Green Lantern, it was as cheesy & cliched as Lois and Clark

He was the best!

But he IS right though. Before Lois & Clark, the superhero stuff we got on tv or film wasn't as relationship or emotionaly focused as his show was. And today, well they seem to dive more into the romance and emotions that comes with superheroes than they did prior to L&C. Bitch all you want, he's got a point. I mean, there always was a relationship under the capes in pretty much any live representation of the heroes, but it wasn't their story's focal point so much as L&C's was.

Spider-man and Spawn would have been the only films to have to focus on their relationships with or without L&C's influence since it's how it's always been in the comics. But they waited a long ass time to put them on screen which makes him kinda right in that aspect. Spidey as well as all the others romance focused stories came in after L&C.

@Shaman to an extent Batman Returns had a large focus on various relationship dynamics: Batman and Bruce, Selina and Catwoman (both alter egos were very much played as different characters), Batman and Catwoman, Bruce and Selina, Penguin and Selina, Alfred and Bruce... list goes on I guess

And Superman/ Superman II had a very strong focus on the 'will they/ wont they' aspect of Clark and Lois/ Superman and Lois' relationships. Hell even Superman 3 had the Clark/ Lana dynamic, and Superman 4 had the relationship between Clark and his nuclear glam-rock manicured clone.

@Shaman (clicked Post Comment by accident, this is continuing from the last comment and sorta ties to what GLGeek said) it's like saying Green Lantern made CG effects a big staple in superhero films. It made some advancements (I hate the film, but the costumes and aliens were rather good for the most part), but it certainly wasnt the first of it's kind.

"I guess it’s all about the special effects." Yes! Finally someone else see's it! It's like they throw in love interest's in superhero movies for the hell of it, and the female actors aren't even good lookin half the damn time. Thank You Dean!

Didn't the 70s and 80s Superman movies make quite a lot of money ? Not to say the Batman films of the 80s. Even though today's CBMs make a lot of money, he shouldn't be looking at CGI for explanation.

GLGeek- I'll agree with you that he shouldn't be taking credit for anything since he didn't write the show. But saying "It wasn't going to take much of a writer to pick up what the books were putting down." is untrue. Look how long it took them to put a comic straight to screen with Watchmen? Before that film, it was pretty much blasphemy to think a comic didn't need to be altered to fit on screen. It was pretty much scripture for the industry to never adapt a comic faithfully to film. NOW, with films like Spider-man 1, Batman Begins and especially Watchmen, the industry seems to realise more and more how huge of a gold mine comics can be for them. And i guess L&C did help the industry realise that there's more to a superhero than his power.

So he's got a point but i feel he doesn't have the right to gloat in any way. He didn't make the show, he only starred in it. Would the show have lasted longer/made more money had he starred in it today? Of course, so i guess he's crying a river. That guy can be an ever living teen sometimes.

ACira- Like i said, relationships were always a part of not only superhero films & shows but pretty much anything on TV/theater screens. But it wasn't the focus. I don't even think they could have been considered side plots since there wasn't much importance given to the relationships themselves. With L&C, the relationship WAS the plot and whatever else was just side stuff. Now, we can see a lot more importance given to the superhero's emotions and relationships than before on screen. We just evolved as an audience and the industry followed. But to say that L&C wasn't a part of the change in it's origin is false. It did something no one had done before other than the books themselves which the industry didn't want any part of except for characters' names and personalities.

steveo316- I have all four seasons and i enjoy it all even when it repeats itself.
