1980
the first official dc comics story where superman marries lois lane (not dreams, hoaxes or imaginary tales, but in dc canon) was in "action comics" #484 (june 1978). in this 40th anniversary of superman issue, a wizard wanted to rid the world of superman but had no idea that superman had a secret identity. clark, with no memory of being superman and therefore no need to pretend to be a coward, finally became a man with a backbone. the new take charge clark kent, who was fearless and bold, became very attractive to lois lane—proving that it was more about attitude and personality than superpowers that attracted her to superman. lois and the new clark began dating, fell in love and eventually he proposed and the couple got married. on their honeymoon, when lois saw clark caught in a crossfire that should have killed him, but left no mark on him, she began to suspect he was really superman. lois tried to cut a lock of his hair and the scissors broke. as much as she loved clark with no memory of being superman, lois knew that the world needed superman and found the wizard who had cast the spell and had him reverse it. clark remembered he was superman but also his marriage to lois. he took lois to the fortress of solitude and married her again in a kryptonian ceremony as superman. from that point on, lois and clark/superman of the alternate universe known as earth-two remained married in dc comics. this version of the character stars in "the superman family" comic book in the series "mr. and mrs. superman", which feature the adventures of the earth-two superman and his wife, lois lane kent. the couple later appeared in the 2005 "infinite crisis" limited series and the new 52 "earth 2" comic books.

on a technical note, "man with a movie camera"s usage of double exposure and seemingly "hidden" cameras made the movie come across as a very surreal montage rather than a linear motion picture. many of the scenes in the film contain people, which change size or appear underneath other objects (double exposure). because of these aspects, the movie is fast-moving. the sequences and close-ups capture emotional qualities, which could not be fully portrayed through the use of words. the film's lack of "actors" and "sets" makes for a unique view of the everyday world; one that, according to a title card, is directed toward the creation of a new cinematic language that is "[separated] from the language of theatre and literature".
