The city that calls itself the "official home of Superman" has unveiled a statue of the superhero's lifelong love, Lois Lane.
Metropolis, in Illinois, USA, already has a 15-foot bronze statue of Superman in Superman Square.
The Lois Lane statue is modelled on actress Noel Neill, who played the female reporter in films 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, now aged 89, says she was honoured by the statue.
She played Lois Lane in in the film serials Superman (1948) and Atom Man vs Superman (1950), starring opposite Kirk Alyn in the title role, and then in the 1950s television series Adventures of Superman opposite George Reeves.
Phyllis Coates played Lois in the first season of Adventures of Superman, with Noel stepping into the role for the remaining five seasons.
