The 10 Worst Love Interests In Superhero Movies

The way female characters are portrayed in superhero movies often varies greatly in quality, especially when they're more often than not relegated to being love interests for the male lead and nothing more (something which now looks set to change thanks to Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman). As a result, for every Peggy Carter and Pepper Potts, there's...well, the sort of characters you'll find listed here.

3) Lois Lane (Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice)

Seeing as Lois Lane spent such a huge amount of time in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice trying to clear the Man of Steel’s name, you may be wondering what exactly she’s doing here. Well, as much as The Daily Planet journalist may love Clark Kent, let’s not forget that it was pretty much her fault that he died. Lois’ random decision to throw that Kryptonite spear underwater forced Superman to rescue her when she later realized her mistake, and that severely weakened him.

Sure, he may very well have decided to still use that weapon against Doomsday (sacrificing himself in the process), but Lois certainly didn’t help matters by interfering as she did. Lois was also something of a pest in Man of Steel, so it now remains to be seen whether or not she’ll cause the resurrected Superman similar problems in Justice League next November. With any luck, her role will have been improved there, but it’s still kind of hard to figure out why she’s needed in the film at all.
