Lois Lane is pretty much THE female character for DC Comics, she was introduced as Superman's love interest from the very beginning, there have been takes on her that have been wonderful. She's been feisty, a damsel-in-distress, a no nonsense reporter, but she does all those roles so well.
Which is why Zack Snyder's take on her is so disappointing. Lois is clueless, helpless and just tends to show up everywhere and exists for Superman to save, in fact, she seems to be the only human who he likes in Zack Snyder's universe.
Now, here's the thing. I don't have a problem with Lois having to get saved by Superman, that's a plot device as old as the character itself. It ALWAYS happens, but Snyder took out Lois's feisty attitude. (See Superman II where she knocks Ursa into a pit after she loses her powers) But Snyder just uses Lois to do whatever the hell the plot needs her to do. (Oh, this spear is going to kill Superman. I'll just throw it in the water. ...oh, it's needed again? Let me dive back in and get in despite having no way of knowing that it's needed!)
It's honestly quite insulting to who is arguably THE leading lady of comics.
