Through the Wedding (1995-1997) Rather annoyingly, Clark Kent and Lois Lane had been engaged for more post-Crisis issues than had featured them before their engagement. Although the staff of the Superman titles expressed a willingness to wed the characters, DC editorial wanted to synchonize the wedding with that of Lois and Clark on the ABC television show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, thus avoiding the problem of any television viewers hypothetically picking up a Superman comic and being confused. This seems shortsighted, especially given the fact that the Superman comic would doubtlessly outlast the show, but one can rarely have the pleasure of underestimating the ability of comics companies to toady to Hollywood. The wedding would be scheduled for October 1996, and so DC had the then-estranged Lois suddenly decide to go through with the marriage, leading directly into Superman: The Wedding Album -- nothing less than a 100-page special. If it was any consolation -- or further frustration -- the wedding on TV was a notorious disappointment, crashed as it was (a rather stereotypical super-hero move) by the villainous "Wedding Destroyer," played by Delta Burke of the television show Designing Women. October 1996 also saw the premiere of a half-hour animated Superman TV show, airing on the Warner Brothers (WB) network. Done in the style of the previous, critically acclaimed animated Batman show, this new animated Superman garnered critical acclaim as well.
