Superman’s girlfriend, Lois Lane – the beautiful accomplished journalist who lets nothing stop her from getting the big stories. Along with editor-in-chief Perry White and Superman’s alter ego, Clark Kent, these news associates do a first-rate job of getting the top stories to the citizens of their city. But, Metropolis is home to Superman and it takes a daring reporter to cover his stories – Jimmy and Lois have that enthusiastic and impetuous style of reporting, but more often than not, the pair become a major part of whatever story they’re chasing. Luckily, they have a big blue and red guardian always watching their back. Whether the menaces come from the wild west or outer space, from the underworld or over seas, this daring duo will go undercover, gain strange powers and risk certain death to end a threat and win the day’s headline.
