| 32 | ->''"You are my son, but somewhere out there... you have another father too, who gave you another name, and he sent you here for a reason, Clark; and even if it takes you the rest of your life, you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is."'' |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Clark's adoptive father, and the one most responsible for teaching him the value of a secret identity. |
| 35 | ---- |
| 36 | * AdaptationalCurves: Jonathan is typically depicted as a stocky man, while Kevin Costner is quite lean. |
| 37 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: While his actions are more dictated by fear and concern for his son, this version of Pa Kent is much more of a "big picture" thinker, very cognizant of the massive existential ramifications that Clark's very existence would mean for the rest of the world. Clark would not only have the power of a god, he would be living proof that extra-terrestrial life exists, proving that humanity are not alone in the universe. Little did Jonathan know that Superman would be far from humanity's last encounter with alien life, much of it less friendly than him. |
| 38 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Jonathan is normally depicted as a boundless optimist who is Clark's biggest encourager to use his powers for good. In the film, he seems more cynical towards humanity in general and doesn't think it's a good idea for Clark to be openly using his powers to the point he even tells Clark that "maybe", he should have let the kids on the school bus die. [[spoiler:He even chooses to let himself be killed by a tornado when Clark could have saved him and Clark reluctantly respects his wishes, choosing to honor his father's trust rather than betray it.]] |
| 39 | ** He's a lot closer to his comic book counterpart in death, where he appears as a ghost to give Clark words of comfort when he's doubting himself, then cheers Superman on when he's preparing to come to the aid of the Justice League. |
| 40 | * AllForNothing: Jonathan allowed himself to die in a disaster that Clark could have rescued him from just to confirm to the locals that his son wasn't some superhuman entity. The masquerade lasts up until Clark's early 30s, at which point Kryptonians target Smallville and he ends up blowing his cover trying to contain the damage. Luckily the locals manage to prove Jonathan wrong and keep Clark's dual life a secret out of gratitude. |
| 41 | * AlternateSelf: As Superman's adoptive father, he exists in almost every universe that has a Clark Kent in it. So far Jonathan has alternate counterparts on [[Characters/ArrowverseSmallvilleCitizens Earth-Prime]], [[Characters/SupermanFilmSeries Earth-96]] and [[Characters/SmallvilleKents Earth-167]]. |
| 42 | * ComesGreatResponsibility: Jonathan tells young Clark that he has to decide what kind of man he wants to be since, with his powers, he can change the world. He learned this the hard way after an incident in his childhood left him wracked with guilt despite his good intentions. |
| 43 | * TheCynic: He realizes how Clark can be a force for good, but tells him as a boy that TheWorldIsNotReady to receive him, so ''maybe'' it would be better for him to hide his powers until he feels the time is right. This attitude is borne out of love and concern for Clark, but it saddles Clark with emotional baggage. |
| 44 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:The comics Jonathan dies many years into Clark's career as Superman, but this version suffers a DeathByOriginStory, similar to his [[Film/Superman1978 previosu cinematic iteration]].]] |
| 45 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Calmly accepts the fact that he's screwed as the tornado gets closer and closer to him. |
| 46 | * FatalFlaw: Fear. Jonathan has ever reason to be scared of the implications of Clark's powers and how the rest of the world will respond to them, but he implores Clark to keep his powers secret until some nebulous point when the world is ready to receive him, which may never come. As such, Clark lives with a degree of shame and guilt about his own nature, issues that persist into adulthood. |
| 47 | * GoodParents: HumansAreFlawed aside (see below), he has been a loving father to Clark and raised him to be a good person. |
| 48 | * HappilyMarried: His marriage with Martha showed no sign of trouble. |
| 49 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Saving the family dog from a tornado led to his death. |
| 50 | * HeroicSacrifice: Allows himself to be killed by a tornado in order to save his dog and to draw suspicion away from Clark. |
| 51 | * HumansAreFlawed: Unlike the wiser versions of this character who always have the answers Clark needs, this version of Jonathan is portrayed as being as confused as Clark is and the only advice he has to offer is "Keep it secret for now". Jonathan eventually admits that he has no idea how to be a parent to a superhuman and that he's been making it up as he goes along. |
| 52 | * InterspeciesAdoption: Adopted a [[HumanAlien Kryptonian]] baby. |
| 53 | * MuggleFosterParents: One half with Martha. |
| 54 | * MyGreatestFailure: As a spirit/vision, Jonathan tells Clark how in his youth he unintentionally killed a paddock full of horses, which left him wracked with guilt for many years. It wasn't until he met Martha that he started to put his angst behind him, though it once again reared its head during Clark's youth. |
| 55 | * KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: Technically, he let himself die. He [[AvertedTrope waved]] [[CoverBlowingSuperpower Clark]] off when a tornado was about to consume him, convinced the world was not ready to know Clark's true nature. |
| 56 | * OpenMouthInsertFoot: After haphazardly musing that it may have been better for Clark to let the other schoolkids die in a road incident, he seems to immediately regret it and changes the subject. |
| 57 | * OneTrueLove: How he feels about Martha. |
| 58 | -->''"She gave me faith that there was good in this world. She was my world."'' |
| 59 | * ParentsAsPeople: He tells Clark that he was at one point traumatised by a grave mistake he made in his youth, but when he met Martha he was able to overcome his guilt and move on. |
| 60 | * ProperlyParanoid: {{Subverted}}. After Kal-El's shuttle first arrived, Jonathan was prepared for the likelihood that the government would seize the vessel and the alien child it carried, but nobody ever came. More broadly, Jonathan believes that the world isn't ready to receive Clark and lives in fear that everyone will turn on him if his secret gets out. Although he has some good sense to be afraid as Superman faces many difficulties after going public, the later DCEU movies show humanity embracing many of the emerging superheroes, some to the point of cult-like fascination. |
| 61 | * PosthumousCharacter: He only appears in flashbacks, and in ''Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice'' as a "ghost" of sorts in Clark's mind. |
| 62 | * SoProudOfYou: Jonathan says this word-for-word when Superman comes back from the dead, ready to resume his heroics in spite of the hardships it caused him. |
| 63 | * SpiritAdvisor: Appears in a DreamSequence to give Clark a pep talk in ''Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice''. He also reassures Superman alongside Jor-El when he makes his comeback. |
| 64 | * SurvivorsGuilt: When he was a child, Jonathan assisted in saving his family's farm by redirecting floodwater, with his grandmother calling him a hero for his efforts. To his shock, the water ended up flooding a neighbouring farm and killing several horses. The event convinced Jonathan that heroics is far more complicated than it looks and he's desperate to convince Clark not to be too open about it. |
| 65 | * TookALevelInIdealism: When Jonathan talks to Clark from beyond the grave, he shows none of the pessimism he showed in life. His reassurance to Clark that he's proud of his son for becoming Superman is what gives Clark some much-needed closure. |
| 66 | --> ''"Fly, son. It's time."'' |
| 67 | * TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm. Kent is traditionally a male given name. |
| 68 | * UpbringingMakesTheHero: He and Martha raised Clark to be a good person and ultimately that's why he tries to do good in the world. Jonathan also raises Clark to believe the world would reject him because of his powers (and the [[UngratefulBastard people of Smallville]] intially prove him right). So Clark doesn't embrace his full potential until he gets the Superman suit as an adult, though prior to that, he still saves people when the need arises. |

| 83 | Clark's adoptive mother and Jonathan's wife. |
| 84 | ---- |
| 85 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Being played by Diane Lane, she doesn't look nearly as matronly as she does in the comics. |
| 86 | * AlternateSelf: As Superman's adoptive mother, she exists in almost every universe that has a Clark Kent in it. So far Martha has alternate counterparts on [[Characters/ArrowverseSmallvilleCitizens Earth-Prime]], [[Characters/Titans2018OtherCharacters Earth-9]], [[Characters/SupermanFilmSeries Earth-96]] and [[Characters/SmallvilleKents Earth-167]]. |
| 87 | * DamselInDistress: Both General Zod and Lex Luthor have threatened her. |

| 95 | * InterspeciesAdoption: Adopted a [[HumanAlien Kryptonian]] baby. |
| 96 | * MadonnaArchetype: Fitting with Superman as a MessianicArchetype, Martha has a few things in common with the Virgin Mary. She came from a humble background and was given sudden the responsibility of raising a child with otherworldly origins with a husband who was not the baby's father. She instills good values in her son and her name starts with the letters M, A and R. |
| 97 | * MamaBear: Will protect her son with everything she's got. It's not that he [[NighInvulnerability really needs it]], but she's still a very brave woman at the core. |
| 98 | * MoralityChain: Lex invokes Martha as this, goading Superman to kill Batman in exchange for his mother's life. Superman tells Lois that he'll try and convince Batman to help him, but seems desperate enough to do it if push comes to shove. Considering that Batman is outright trying to murder him, it might even have counted as self-defense. |
| 99 | * MuggleFosterParents: One half with Jonathan for their god-like adoptive son. |
| 100 | * StepfordSmiler: Despite going through more grief than any character who isn't Bruce Wayne, Martha always manages to keep a brave face. She couldn't conceive with Jonathan, then he died. When Clark comes home, he [[InnocentlyInsensitive all too cheerfully tells her he's found his real parents]]. Then Clark dies and the bank forecloses on her home, but she keeps to herself. Even after being taken hostage, Martha is able to let out a bit of levity. |

| 213 | * AdaptationalJerkass: His teenage version, yes. In the 1990s comics (post-COIE, pre-N52), he was born in his parents' truck that had broken down en route to the hospital, the same night Kal-El's ship crash-landed. Clark and Kenny were good friends throughout school, but Kenny was often sick, later found to be caused by exposure to kryptonite (stuck to the ship) as an infant. As an adult, Kenny developed kryptonite-based powers and became the supervillain Conduit. He eventually realised Clark was Superman, and blamed Clark for his poor health as a child. Kenny set about trying to kill Clark's friends and family, seen in the comic storyline "The Death Of Clark Kent". This doesn't appear to have been the case in the DCEU movies, so his adult self in the DCEU can be considered the AdaptationalNiceGuy. |
| 214 | * TheBully: Picking on loners seems to be a favorite hobby for him. |

| 246 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: Unlike other versions of this hard-nosed IntrepidReporter, this version is never fooled by Clark; she's in on his secrets from the beginning, considering she tracked him down right to his adoptive family's farm in Smallville and interviewed his mother. In the sequel, she cottons on to Luthor's scheme very early in the film, much quicker than even ''Batman'', and the evidence she unearths puts Luthor behind bars. |
| 247 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the comics, Lois is famously acerbic towards Clark Kent in a {{Tsundere}}-esque way, caustic with a HiddenHeartOfGold while her sweeter side was reserved for Superman, at least before she and Clark moved on to a relationship. Here, she discovered his secret much sooner and is sympathetic to him from their very first conversation, remaining a NiceGirl to Clark through and through. |
| 248 | * AdaptationalWimp: In regards to her combat ability. Whereas Post-Crisis versions have a degree of military training, this one doesn't seem to. As noted above, she's really only effective in escaping the Kryptonian warship due to Jor-El's VirtualGhost's assistance, though she does seem to be pretty handy with the Kryptonian sidearm she gets her hands on. She also tends to be more of a DamselInDistress than [[DamselOutOfDistress her]] [[BadassNormal Golden Age]] [[ActionGirl or Post-Crisis]] incarnations. |
| 249 | * AffectionateNickname: Clark calls her "Lo" a few times. |
| 250 | * AgeLift: Typically, she's in her late twenties when she meets Clark for the first time, usually making her a slightly more experienced reporter in comparison. She's thirty-nine when she meets Clark in ''Man of Steel'', making her far older than what is typically seen with the character. Also, most versions tend to portray Lois and Clark as being around the same age. Here, she is six years older than Clark as she was born in 1974 ([[ActorSharedBackground just like her actress]]) while Clark was born in 1980. |
| 251 | * AlliterativeName: '''L'''ois '''L'''ane, the most prominent person in the Superman mythos with the L.L. initials. This even applies to the actress that portrays her! '''A'''my '''A'''dams! |
| 252 | * AlternateSelf: So far, she's got counterparts on [[Characters/ArrowverseSmallvilleCitizens Earth-Prime]], [[Characters/SupermanFilmSeries Earth-96]], [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheatricalCartoons Earth-F]], and two on [[Series/{{Smallville}} Earth-167]], [[Characters/SmallvilleLanes one]] who shares her name and background, and [[Characters/SmallvilleMeteorFreaks Jodi Melville]], who shares her appearance.. |
| 253 | * BabiesEverAfter: Implied in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague''. She keeps a pregnancy test kit in her bedside drawer and in the epilogue she's seen carrying a baby basket. |
| 254 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Both Clark and Lois seek the truth and doing the right thing regardless of what may happen to them in their respective carriers (superhero-ing and journalism, although both for Clark). Their shared brave, altruistic and kindhearted personalities make them get along very well, and go through a lot of emotionally draining experiences together. |
| 255 | * {{Chickification}}: Lois starts out a hard-hitting journalist willing to travel the world and risk any danger to get a story. After Superman's death, she sinks into a depression and stops chasing stories. |
| 256 | * CooldownHug: When Clark comes back from the dead and goes on a delirium-fueled rampage, Lois rushes in and wraps her arms around him, which manages to calm him down. |
| 257 | * DamselInDistress: In just ''Batman V Superman'' alone, Lois has to be rescued by Superman three separate times. This is actually a plot point. The first was Lex, in Africa by proxy, testing if Superman would come for her if she were in danger. The second time was Lex using her to summon Superman. |
| 258 | * DamselOutOfDistress: She ''is'' ComicBook/LoisLane, after all; kicking ass while in trouble is what she does for a living. Lex Luthor takes advantage of this. When it seems like Batman might actually kill Superman (and vice versa in ''Justice League'') it's Lois of all people who comes to the rescue. |
| 259 | * DeadpanSnarker: She's always got a good quip or two up her sleeve. |
| 260 | * {{Determinator}}: When Lois has something on her mind and investigates, she ''never'' gives up, and eventually succeeds. |
| 261 | * DiveUnderTheExplosion: Lois narrowly avoids getting fried by Doomsday's aura blasts by diving into a nearby body of water. |
| 262 | * DoubleMeaning: Her "Welcome to the Planet!" to Clark at the end of ''Man of Steel'' means he's both welcome to work at the Daily Planet and welcome on Earth. |
| 263 | * ElementalMotifs: Water seems to be a recurring element in most of her scenes. Lois is first introduced in the Arctic, has a calm-down bath after nearly getting killed on an assigment in Nairobi, discreetly meets with Swanwick in the rain, discards the kryptonite spear into a watery chasm and visits Superman's memorial even in the pouring rain. |
| 264 | * FatalFlaw: Her curiosity is always what gets Lois into trouble. Lois is introduced investigating an alien spacecraft, whose robot guard attacks her as soon as she tries to photograph it. She's then apprehended by both Earth and Krypton's military after trying to get in touch with Clark. When Lois investigates an African warlord and the mercenaries he hired, she's held hostage by the former and left at the mercy of Lex Luthor by the latter. |
| 265 | * FieryRedhead: She's not afraid to speak her mind. Downplayed in that even when she's standing her ground, she's still softly spoken. |
| 266 | * TheHeart: She helps motivate Clark to graduate from HeroicBystander to SuperHero. |
| 267 | ** On both occasions when Superman and Batman might have killed each other, Lois intervenes to placate the winning party. These moments lead Bruce to ponder on what the Knightmare version of Barry Allen meant when he said that Lois is "the key". |
| 268 | * InnocentBlueEyes: Standard for a character played by Creator/AmyAdams. Several people note that Lois is a little too idealistic and often doesn't consider the consequences of her actions even if they're done out of kindness or justice. |
| 269 | * InsecureLoveInterest: After being rescued from a warlord in ''Batman v Superman'', Lois expresses her feelings of inadequacy to Clark, feeling like she might be just adding to his burden. Clark makes it clear she's worth it. |
| 270 | ** Lois' urge to help out fuels her character arc in said film, as she starts investigating the contract killers who participated in her kidnapping and with the help of Swanwick, manages to trace it back to Lex Luthor. |
| 271 | * InterspeciesRomance: Lois (a human) and Kal-El/Clark Kent (a Kryptonian). |
| 272 | * IntrepidReporter: In ''Man of Steel'', she goes to Canada to write an article about the Kryptonian ship that has been found under the ice. After Clark saves her from a Kryptonian android, she goes of her way to find out who he is and where he lives. In ''Batman v Superman'', she doesn't hesitate to have herself invited to an African terrorist leader's headquarters for an interview and later investigates the wrong accusations against Superman, since she has witnessed what happened and knows that humanity can trust him. |
| 273 | -->(when going to the Kryptonian ship) "I get writer's block if I'm not wearing a flak jacket." |
| 274 | -->(to Amajagh) "I'm not a lady, I'm a journalist." |
| 275 | * KnightInSourArmor: More like ''Lady In Sour Dress'' but our introduction to Lo has her cynically having put legal pressure on the military, and in ''Batman v Superman'' her first assumption in the aftermath of the Nairomi incident is that the U.S. Government was secretly assisting the rebels. Our girl has clearly seen a lot of GreyAndGreyMorality in her career... but there's still a WideEyedIdealist in her, enough for Jenet Klyburn to comment on. Despite all the garbage she has to wade through in the film, she herself notes to Clark that Superman is "all some people have--it's all that gives them ''hope''"--strongly implying that she's one of them. In other words, Clark's existence is what helps preserve the Romantic in her, and motivates her to keep going and fight for the good in the world as opposed to just the next big story. |
| 276 | * LoveInterest: Of Clark Kent/Superman. Their romance is established in ''Man of Steel'' and followed upon in ''Batman v Superman''. |
| 277 | * NiceGirl: Despite her sarcasm and sass, Lois is genuinely polite, affable and a loving girlfriend. She does her best to help Clark/Superman as she knows something is terribly wrong about the accusations against him and comforts him when things get uglier after the Capitol bombing. |
| 278 | * NowLetMeCarryYou: Lois needs to be rescued by Superman quite often, but when Batman has Superman at his mercy, she arrives just in time to talk Batman out of killing him. |
| 279 | * OfficialCouple: With Clark as of ''Dawn of Justice''. |
| 280 | * OneTrueLove: Since Clark's relationship with Lana is never shown to go any further than friendship, Lois is his only confirmed love interest. Likewise, Lois never shows a romantic interest in anyone besides Clark. |
| 281 | * RealAwardFictionalCharacter: She's a Pulitzer Prize-winner. Lois brings this up during an argument with Perry as a way of showing clout, but Perry retorts with "Then ''act'' like one!". |
| 282 | * RelationshipUpgrade: Lois kisses Superman towards the end of ''Man of Steel''. 18 months later and Clark is living with her. |
| 283 | * RescueHug: Lois gets two with Superman. The first was when he saved her from almost getting sucked into the Phantom Zone. The second was after Lex pushed her off his skyscraper. |
| 284 | * RescueRomance: Clark first got Lois' attention when he saved her from a Kryptonian droid. While her interest in him was still platonic at that point, her obsession with finding out who her rescuer was eventually grew into romantic feelings. This escalated as Lois got to see Clark's vulnerable side, along with the adrenaline rush from every rescue. |
| 285 | * SecretKeeper: She went so far as to seek out [[spoiler:Martha Kent and instantly recognized Clark with his glasses on]]. |
| 286 | * ShowerOfAngst: After almost getting killed in Nairomi, Lois comes home and fills the bathtub, all the while looking very shaken. She doesn't perk up until Clark jumps in with her. |
| 287 | * SingleTargetSexuality: Lois only ever shows romantic interest in Clark. She even says outright that she'll never love another as much as she loved him. |
| 288 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: True to form, it's Clark's altruism and kindness that appeals to her. |
| 289 | * SophisticatedAsHell: "So, are we done measuring dicks here?" |
| 290 | * TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:Lets them out when she sees the resurrected Clark.]] |
| 291 | * TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:After Clark's death at the end of ''Batman v. Superman'', she finds out he had an engagement ring ready for her. When she says her final goodbye by dropping a handful of dirt on Clark's casket, she's seen wearing it; she would have said "yes". Not so tragic anymore now that he's BackFromTheDead.]] |
| 292 | ** [[spoiler:In ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'', we see that she's even kept Clark's red Superman cape, taking it out and holding it at one point. In his absence, this is a way of being close to him by proxy.]] |
| 293 | * WaistcoatOfStyle: Her default outfit is a chic black waistcoat over a white shirt. |
| 294 | * WideEyedIdealist: Has enough of a streak of this that Jenet Klyburn semi-teases her about it. |
| 295 | * WrongGenreSavvy: Believe it or not. Lois thinks that by exposing Lex's crimes, she is removing another corrupt businessman from the picture. Considering she lives in a world of superheroes, she has no idea of [[TheSociopath what]] [[ManipulativeBastard kind of man]] [[ClassicVillain Lex is]]. |

| 311 | The pragmatic chief editor of the ''Daily Planet'', and Lois' direct superior. He initially refuses to run Lois' story about aliens on Earth, until Superman's existence is revealed to the world. |
| 312 | ---- |
| 313 | * AlternateSelf: Perry has a three on [[Film/SupermanTheMovie Earth]][[Film/SupermanReturns -96]], [[Series/Supergirl2015 Earth-38]] and [[Series/{{Smallville}} Earth-167]]. |
| 314 | * BenevolentBoss: |
| 315 | ** When the ''Daily Planet'' is in danger, he organizes the evacuation and personally tries to free Jenny from the rubble, despite the World Engine wrecking the city. When he can't, he refuses to leave her alone. |
| 316 | ** When the publishers are calling for Lois's (figurative) head after she leaked her article, White mitigates it to unpaid administrative leave and a [[WhatTheHellHero chewing-out]], while also telling Lois she's doing the right thing when he realizes her article's subject is for real and Lois states she's [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness dropping the whole thing]], citing TheWorldIsNotReady. |
| 317 | ** Despite the TookALevelInJerkass below, when Lois says she needs a helicopter for personal reasons that have nothing to do with getting a story (stopping the Batman/Superman fight) he has one brought to the helipad on the roof of the Daily Planet. |
| 318 | ** He attends Clark's funeral in Smallville. |
| 319 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In ''Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'' he's portrayed as less ethical and caring more about making attention-grabbing headlines. |
| 320 | * TheCynic: He has pretty much given up on investigative journalism by the time of ''Batman v Superman'' because people don't read that anymore, stating to Clark that they're not in 1938 anymore as the latter is eager to report on Batman's recent reckless activities. |
| 321 | * DaEditor: He's the boss at the ''Daily Planet'', and he always speaks his minds about the antics of either Lois or Clark when he thinks they don't do their job the way they should or go too far. |
| 322 | * DeadpanSnarker: Particularly in ''Batman v Superman'', where he's seen snarkily turning down Clark's potential story pitches. |
| 323 | * {{Expy}}: Fishburne based his Perry on ''60 Minutes'' member Ed Bradley. Both even have a pierced ear. |
| 324 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be stern, strict, slightly dismissive and rather grumpy, yet again, he's still a well-meaning authority figure, still maintaining a benevolent side of himself and even being reasonable with his employees on a certain degree, normally Lois. |
| 325 | * LargeAndInCharge: Thanks to Laurence Fishburne's bulky figure. |
| 326 | * RaceLift: Perry White, who's Caucasian in the comics, is played by the African-American Laurence Fishburne. |
| 327 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He may be somewhat stern, but he's not unreasonable. |
| 328 | * SecretSecretKeeper: ''Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'' provides the implications that Perry White is privy to Clark's identity as Superman over the course of the film, though not without making it explicit to others. He takes note of all Clark's absences, inquires about his wellbeing to Lois during the aftermath of the senate bombing (which Superman was present for), immediately grants Lois's request for a helicopter to Gotham when she makes it clear she's ''not'' going for a story and on receiving the first printings of Superman's death, turns the page to Clark's obituary. The fact that he witnessed Superman kissing Lois in the previous film and after that Clark Kent turned up for work and quickly developed a close relationship with Lois probably meant he put two and two together. |
| 329 | * SequelNonEntity: He doesn't appear in either ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' or ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague''. Lois hasn't returned to work at the Daily Planet in the latter. |
| 330 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'', he refuses to run a story about Batman, even when Clark tells him that as journalists, they are required to be ethical. He did the same in ''Man of Steel'', but out of concern for the general populace. Here, he is doing it because it won't get enough readers. |

| 348 | * DamselInDistress: During the Kryptonian invasion she's trapped under rubble, leading to Perry and Steve staying back so they could try to rescue her. |
| 349 | * {{Expy}}: She was rumored to be a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] ComicBook/JimmyOlsen, but the movie reveals her surname is "Jurwich" by the end (and high-resolution publicity shots showing her ID card will reveal this, too). Confusingly, a tie-in book ''does'' name her as "Jenny Olsen." |

| 370 | * AdaptationalUgliness: Zigzagged. On the one hand, his comic book counterpart is often drawn to be an impressive alpha male with the buff physique to match. Lombard in the films looks more like an average middle-aged man. [[AdaptationalAttractiveness On the other hand]], his comic book counterpart is generally portrayed as slovenly with questionable fashion taste, has an unflattering moustache and a bad toupee. Here, he's noticeably far better groomed and clean, well-dressed and makes no effort to cover his hairline. The fact that he [[AdaptationalNiceGuy also lacks the boorish, obnoxious personality]] his comic book counterpart is infamous for also helps. |

| 437 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the director's cut version of ''Justice League'', he was disintegrated in front of his son's eyes. |
| 438 | * DefiantCaptive: In both versions of ''Justice League'', unlike the other S.T.A.R. Labs hostages who beg Steppenwolf not to kill them, Silas shows no fear in the eyes of the New God and he would rather die than to reveal the location of the Mother Box. This act of courage impresses Steppenwolf but doesn't stop him from attempting to torture him. |

| 443 | * DissonantSerenity: In the footage, he keeps his cool when talking in his dictaphone while he's desperate to save his son in his inner self. He is even enraged out of despair at one point, yet four hours later he still manages to be collected when comes the time to drop the "clinical protocol" and use the Mother Box. |
| 444 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: In the Snyder Cut, after sealing himself with the Mother Box of Man inside a testing chamber to keep the Mother Box away from Steppenwolf, Silas activates the laser in the testing chamber to superheat the Mother Box's core, fully aware that the process will kill him. As the laser vaporizes him, Silas maintains a calm apologetic expression toward his son, who can only watch in horror and despair. |
| 445 | * HappyEnding: In the theatrical cut, he finishes the film happy with his son at S.T.A.R. with both of them working together and Victor/Cyborg reshaping his armor. In Creator/ZackSnyder's [[DeathByAdaptation version]], [[KilledOffForReal however]]... |
| 446 | * HeroicSacrifice: In the "Snyder Cut", he sacrifices himself to heat up a Motherbox so the League can track its heat signature. |

Subverted minutes after Silas' death and Steppenwolf leaves with the Mother Box, when Victor realizes his father used the laser to superheat the Mother Box's core, providing the League a means to locate Steppenwolf's base and take him down. |
| 450 | * SoProudOfYou: Victor had a lot of hangups over Silas prioritising his work over his family. Silas picks up on this and gives Victor a recorded speech reassuring him that he's genuinely proud of his son, which he made well before Victor became a superhero. When Victor hears those words, he smiles and nearly breaks out in tears. |
| 451 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Were it not for Silas, the Justice League wouldn't have been able to locate Steppenwolf before he could complete the Unity. |
| 452 | * WeCanRebuildHim: Tried desperately to save his son Victor using cybernetics, but all of his interventions failed. In a last-ditch effort, he brought "US gov object 6-19-82" (a Mother Box) near what was left of his son. It activated, and [[PainfulTransformation painfully empowered Victor]], allowing him to survive and turning him into Cyborg. |
| 453 | * {{Workaholic}}: He was heavily focused on his work, to the detriment of his relationship with his son. |
| 454 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: His recorded speech to Victor is full of encouragement, knowing that Victor hates his cybernetic body. After explaining all the perks of becoming a cyborg, Silas then segues into telling Victor that he knows he's a good man at heart and he's proud of him just for that. |
