A Smallville animated series that picks up after season 10 is reported to be in development and fans will be hoping to see more of Lois Lane, who bossed the proceedings after making her debut in season 4. According to Collider, Tom Welling has said most cast members are expected to return so Erica Durance is likely to reprise her role too.

Lois isn't an easy person to impress, something Oliver Queen and Clark can attest to.

And as is the norm, Lois chooses to use humor to express her displeasure.
When DDS Agents Ask If Her Name Is Lois Lane
"That's What It Says On My Pulitzer."

On Smallville, Lois is always coming up with appropriate retorts. Here, she gives a fitting answer to a rather unnecessary question.

And it sure does turn out to be an exciting one. Among the main reporters on the show, Lois is to be the most dedicated. Clark only does it to hide his identity while Cat enjoys snooping into Clark's personal affairs more than going into the field.

“Looks Like Somebody Took A Bite Out Of Chloe’s Conspiracy Cookie.”
Chloe disappears shortly after Clark proposes to Lois, and when the couple bumps into Smallville Torch editor, Zoe, she comes up with various bizarre theories. However, Lois dismisses them.

Having known Chloe for a long time, Lois remains confident that she will show up soon.

"We Need To Call Clark And Tell Him Don Luthor Is Going All Godfather On Us."
Lois and Connor make a stop while fleeing from Lionel Luthor, who had been shooting at them, She suggests calling Clark but Connor is hesitant to do so because he wants to impress her by protecting her.
Putting "Don" before the Luthor name is clever. By doing so, Lois implies that Lionel Luthor has become more like a mafia boss, willing to whack anyone that offends him. And to make the mafia-related quote even cooler, she makes a pop-culture reference to one of the best gangster movies of all time.
Lois Vows To Help Clark Uncover The Mystery Behind His Missing Parents
"I’m Watson To His Holmes. Cher To His Sonny. Just Like You’re Scooby To His Shaggy.”
Speaking to the dog, Shelby, at the Kent farmhouse, Lois vows to help Clark find out whatever happened to his parents because she complements him. And she doesn't forget to acknowledge the role Shelby plays too.
