The Goatman returns while Superman and Lois Lane become Superwoman and Louis Lane in fascinating genderswap art from an Eisner nominee.
The latest piece of Superman fanart puts a gender-themed twist on DC's most iconic couple, Lois Lane and Clark Kent. Gender is an often overlooked facet of the dynamic between Lois Lane and Clark Kent and why readers were initially so enamored with their chemistry upon their inception. By the standards of the 1930s and '40s when these characters debuted, it was unheard of to see a strong, assertive woman like Lois in a place of business often taking charge ahead of a man like Clark.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT That dynamic is switched thanks to Eisner Award-nominated comic book writer and artist Dan Schkade, who unveiled on Twitter what a gender-swapped Superman world with Louis Lane and Clara Kent may look like. The dynamic remains the same, except with the male Lane being the assertive one and the tall, yet meek lady Kent being the one who obeys.
Meet Clara Kent and Louis Lane This isn't the only piece of fan art that Schkade has committed to drawing. In another Tweet, Schkade not only shows the world what Clara Kent looks like in her Superwoman costume, but also what a team-up between this World's Finest would look like. No, not Superwoman and Batman, but for that world, it would be Superwoman and Goatman. Readers previously saw Goatman as Batman with a VVitch twist attached.
A New World's Finest: Superwoman and The Goatman With the genders reversed, Schkade was tasked with seeing how "toxic" the dynamic becomes, and some readers in the comments have also pointed out the new, potentially stereotypically sexist optics of the relationship. However, Schkade also sells readers on the idea of "a burly farmgirl ... pining after a cynical city guy with a heart of gold.
As for Superwoman and Goatman, it's just a cool blending between a genderswapped Superman and a version of Batman that also grew in popularity online from curious onlookers. Overall, this alternate take on Superman's Lois Lane and Clark Kent seems to have enough intrigue from readers to justify its own comic series run one day.
