“Superman shouldn’t be married to Lois. It’s just stupid. It makes no sense and destroys the whole dynamic. Superman is God, Jor-El is the Holy Spirit and Clark Kent is Jesus. The Kents are Mary and Joseph and Lois is Mary Magdelene. She’s the NYC girl who’s fucked her way around the city and found nobody who measures up. She’s just had it with men and is focusing on her career… then Superman shows up. […] He’s as Kryptonian as Jesus is divine. Did Jesus shag Mary Mag? I don’t think so. Superman should never shag Lois.”—
Mark Millar
Ugh. I’m on a Mark Millar rage spiral and I can’t get off it.

I actually just felt my blood pressure increase. Rant mode has been activated, my apologies.
This quote is just so wrong. Not only is it based around very narrow and uninformed logic (fact or not, some Christian sects argue that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’s wife/concubine. Has Millar never heard of The Da Vinci Code? It was quite popular a while back, revolved around the bloodline of Christ theory?), but this statement is just so misogynistic and slut-shaming.
For a start Clark Kent ≠ Jesus. And Kryptonian ≠ divine, it equals alien. Also, Superman IS Clark Kent - even if one/both of them is an alter ego this whole Superman-God/Clark-Jesus thing is just a terrible analogy. Yes, Superman functions as a saviour to many people on Earth, yes, he has very impressive skills that he uses to serve mankind, but he most certainly isn’t going to be expected to die for our sins any time soon, and he definitely doesn’t have twelve disciples following him around while he preaches various virtues at us. (Or are we extending the Christ metaphor so that the apostles=JLA?)
Secondly, where the hell is Lara Jor-El in this analogy? You know, the woman who actually gave birth to Kal-El, and then placed him in a space ship to save his life. Jesus may have been born through immaculate conception, Kal-El most definitely not.
Moreover, Lois Lane is neither an “NYC girl” nor someone “who’s fucked her way around the city and found nobody who measures up”. (Though what does that say about Mark Millar’s attitude to NYC girls?) Lois Lane is an ex-army brat/resident of Metropolis, and a grown woman capable of choosing sexual/romantic partners for herself. Lois is not focused on her career because she didn’t find a guy good enough to settle down with, she isn’t bothered with her love life because she is focused on her career. Even when Superman is being awe-inspiring and takes her breath away, you know what Lois’ main focus is in most of their interactions? Getting her headline.
The whole thing reads as if to say that Lois isn’t good enough for Clark, that Superman would never stoop so low as to consort with a human. The main “dynamic” that I’ve always been aware of is the Clark-Lois-Superman triangle-made-for-two, not whatever Superman ego-trip that Mark Millar is fixated on. You don’t have to be a Clois shipper, but there is a reason why there are seven decades worth of comics that focus on Lois and Clark’s relationship, and why pretty much every live action/cartoon adaptation has not only had her in it, but had Clark hopelessly in love with her. You can’t say things like “Superman should never shag Lois” when they’ve gotten married in multiple universes, and raised a child together!
I really hope this statement is fake. This man shouldn’t even be allowed near the Superman comics. This just furthers my realisation that I’ll only consider reading some of the reboot when DC ends their vendetta on wives and mothers and accepts that marriage and happiness do not make their characters boring.

1. He does know that Superman’s creators were Jewish, right? If you’re looking for a religious parallel, Moses makes far more sense. And he had a wife. Two, in fact.
2. Oh, Mark Millar, never stop erasing the fine line between ‘creator whose work I personally don’t enjoy’ and ‘actually a poor human being.’

Shayera goes for the hair-pull.
