METROPOLIS, Ill. — The southern Illinois city that calls itself the "official home of Superman" has unveiled a statue of the superhero's lady love, Lois Lane. Metropolis leaders unveiled the statue on Friday. The city already has a 15-foot bronze statue of Superman in Superman Square. The Lois Lane statue is modeled on actress Noel Neill, who played playing the female reporter with a crush on Superman in movies and on television in the 1940s and 1950s.

Artist Gary Ernest Smith created the statue and says making the piece was a dream come true because he grew up watching Superman. Neill says she was honored to be memorialized with the statue.

Metropolis Mayor Billy McDaniel says the statue will be a source of pride for the city for years to come.

It is about time she also got immortalized.

If the Mayor was evil and unveiled a Lex Luthor statue carrying a gigantic nugget of Kyrptonite, that would be bad a$$.

If they were truly Metropolis, they'd have a huge Superman and Lex Luthor standing back to back.

Mentioned it in the comic book thread but...

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/06/23/dc-comics-presents-%E2%80%9Csuperman-across-america%E2%80%9D/

Starting in July 2010, coinciding with the 700th issue of Superman, DC Comics will be celebrating this remarkable anniversary of America’s greatest hero with a historic journey…not to alien worlds or distant galaxies, but through the streets, roads, highways, homes, farms, suburbs, and inner cities of America.

And America itself, in the person of those very real places, is invited to the party.

Beginning with the city of Philadelphia, Superman will walk across America, a journey that is expected to take most of a year. He will pass through Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon and Washington. Along the way, Superman will be passing through real towns, real cities, real neighborhoods.

And your town, your city, your neighborhood may be among those chosen for his historic journey. Superman will literally pass through your town as visualized in the pages of his book.

If your town is within 50 miles of the line marking Superman’s journey, then you are eligible to participate.

If your town is chosen, then it will become part of an issue of the Superman comic. For over fifty years, Superman has been America’s greatest hero, and now he is returning to those roots. The series of issues will examine how Superman sees America, and how America sees Superman. And for those towns selected, it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of his historic journey.
