Not that long ago, Lois Lane was a world-leading journalist, happily married to Clark Kent, and she knew his secret identity was Superman. A story that she didn't run. It was quite the dichotomy. No Edward Snowden, she.

The the New 52 reboot happened, and suddenly she was no longer married to Clark Kent. Not even dating. Hell, she barely liked him. And as Superman went off with Wonder Woman, Lois had her own life to be getting on with.

There was much criticism from Lois fans, as the character was removed from the spotlight. Many began to feel that Lois Lane was being hard done by.

This morning, Bleeding Cool ran this image from the upcoming DC comic for Free Comic Book Day, Divergence.

And people started going nuts.

DC's done terrible things to Lois Lane in New 52.But this is the first time I've actually wanted to cry. @dandidio1 @gregpak @geneluenyang

@zoraida_merlo @Jade4813 @mayak46 @veronicacris @CloisLover I've read better fanfic that stayed truer to canon than this shit

I will wait to pass judgment, but if this doesn't end with Lois Lane shown as Superman's hero, I will be heard. I will shout for sure.

@KalelData Unless she's under mind-control (for the 2nd time in the Nu52), Lois Lane would never stoop to such tabloid-esque bullshit.

@CertainshadesL Seek Truth, Minimize Harm. Journalists first priority. Sorry, the mistreatment of Lois Lane makes me angry.

So Lois Lane exposes Superman's secret identity to the world? Does. Not. Compute. Lois would never sell out Clark. @dccomics #fcbd

Well, it's not as if this set of panels will change much then…

Let me repeat, Lois Lane would never do that to Clark, unless asked. Unless according to Clark, it's for his betterment … Like Smallville.

Doesn't look like it much. Lois Lane or Meg Griffin? Find out what actually happens in Superman #41….
