The Man of Steel has many integral friends and allies associated with him, but the Daily Planet's Lois Lane has always stood on her own. There have been as many portrayals of Lois as any character from the DC roster, and Dana Delany is behind one of the most iconic of all, known by millions as the voice of Lois Lane on Superman: The Animated Series, along with a number of other incarnations, as well.

Fans of the show, as well as newcomers, can also now see Delany's portrayal once more in the new Blu-ray remaster of Superman: The Animated Series. The Blu-ray box set comes fully loaded with commentaries and looks into the making of the show. For one of the most beloved animated shows ever made, Superman: The Animated Series is certainly getting the re-release it deserves.

We spoke to Dana Delany on her work voicing Lois Lane on Superman: The Animated Series, what some of her favorite episodes are, as well as her current role on the HBO Max mini-series The American Guest.

Screen Rant: With Superman: The Animated Series being rolled out in its new Blu-ray remaster, what's it been like for you, having voiced Lois Lane on such an iconic series?

Dana Delany: I think it's great and it's a testament to the power of the story of Superman. I feel like the show really holds up in a classic way. I just revisited a few episodes; I hadn't seen the show in a long time, and I think it's all due credit to Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, and Bruce Timm, and the great music by Shirley Walker. The visuals are also great because they're very retro but also very modern, and the dialogue was just really funny and sharp and witty. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to do.

You'd also previously voiced Andrea Beaumont in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. What was it like going from Bruce Wayne's tragic love in that movie to a character like Lois Lane? 

Dana Delany: Well, I'd never done animation before I'd done Mask of the Phantasm, so that was a thrill, and working with that team, I saw that they're really serious about what they're doing. They're telling really good stories on the show, and any of these scripts could've been for a movie.

I had to audition for Superman, and I grew up with Lois Lane. I watched the Superman TV series when I was four years old, and she had her own comic book back then that I read, and she was always someone who was going to be her own person, be independent. So, she was someone who I modeled my life after, so to get to audition for that was huge, and to get the part was just thrilling. She was so different from Andrea, and was really fast-talking but in a timeless way. I modeled her off of Rosalind Russell from the movie His Girl Friday, who was a fast-talking reporter, and that really worked for the character. Lois just kept moving, no matter what.

You've also voiced Lois outside of Superman The Animated Series, in the Justice League animated shows and some of the DC animated movies like Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, and also in some of the video games, too. With not all of your portrayals of Lois being directly connected to the show, were you still channeling a similar energy for Lois, or did you want to put a different spin on the character? 

Dana Delany: I really depended on the writing. If Bruce and Paul were involved, then I was playing that Lois. But, The Flashpoint Paradox was a very different Lois in a different era. So, it really just depended on whatever the writing called for.

With Superman: The Animated Series being such a popular and enduring entry in the Superman canon, have you sensed a new wave of younger fans discovering your work as Lois on the show through the Blu-ray remaster who might not have been around during its original run?

Dana Delany: I don't know if it's been out long enough to really sense that yet, but I've seen chatter on Twitter with people starting to talk about it and how much they're enjoying it.

You mentioned having revisited the show for the first time in a while recently. What were some of your favorite episodes or stories from Superman: The Animated Series

Dana Delany: Oh God, there's so many! The first couple were great because they were kind of establishing the character and the rapport between Lois and Clark Kent. I did also really love the crossover episode when Lois was dating Bruce Wayne, and Superman and Clark were jealous. That was great, and the reveal when Batman's cowl gets pulled off, Lois sees it's Bruce and we had that great line, "When were you gonna tell me? The honeymoon?" That still makes me laugh! I think Lois in he heart knew that she still loved Superman, though.

You're also currently on the HBO Max mini-series The American Guest, where you play Edith Roosevelt. What's the experience of making the show and portraying Edith Roosevelt been like?

Dana Delany: The best part was the research. That's my favorite thing about being an actor is the things you get to learn, you kind of get to go to school, and I just fell in love with Edith Roosevelt. I feel like she's kind of unsung and not as many people know about her because she's been eclipsed by Eleanor Roosevelt.

But she was a very smart, strong, learned, artistic woman and Teddy Roosevelt relied upon her a lot politically and for advice. They also just had a great love story, one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever heard that I was more people knew about. We also shot in Brazil, so that was a lot of fun to go down to Sao Paulo, and I got to act with Aidan Quinn, who I've had a crush on my whole life!
