April 3, 2013: Snyder and Lee Discuss "Superman Unchained"

Superman Unchained IGN.com caught up with Scott Snyder and Jim Lee, the creative team behind the upcoming new comic book title "Superman Unchained", to get the inside word on their collaborative effort, the relationship between Superman and Lois Lane, and more. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Scott, you were talking in the panel about how you consider Lois as an equal to Superman. What's your take on that character, and what kind of relationship will she have with Clark in your story?

    Snyder: Well, we're trying to explore a different aspect of their relationship in this. You're definitely going to get the romantic tension and the sexual tension, the kind of fun that's there. But at the end of the day, I think the thing I'm most interested in exploring between them is the fact that they're both kindred spirits, and they always choose to do the right thing. Lois pursues the truth no matter what sort of adversity faces her. I think Superman sees that, and it's the same moral compass that he has from the Kents.

    The world can be a really lonely and dangerous place when that's your mission, when that's the arrow you follow all the time. So he admires her and looks up to her in that way. I think they have a bond that goes beyond the romantic aspect of their relationship, even though that's there as well. That's a big part of it. She also has a big investigative role in the story itself. It's key to whether Superman will win or die.

The first issue of "Superman Unchained" will be released on June 12.
