Superman and Lois having sex is most definitely bestiality, at the very least (it would be more "natural" for Lois to get it on with a frog or beetle, even). Plus, consider that Supes has died at least once, and very publicly, at that: half the DC universe attended his funeral! Thus we are faced with perhaps the most important question of our generation: is Lois Lane a secret necrophilia buff?

This is just someone overthinking real-world morality in a fictional world where the premises behind it no longer apply. Foolish maybe, more likely snarky, but not fundamentalistic.
PS:un dead are not truly dead, either?
Not really fundie, but how do we have two consecutive quotes from different sources concerned with the mating habits of humanoid aliens in the DC universe!?

1. Only if Superman were still dead (or undead).
Don't be silly. It's two fictional characters attracted to each other, for the enjoyment of the fan base. If they didn't act like humans romantically, there goes a story line. We don't relate to him emotionally if we concentrate on the "super" and forget the "man".
1) Since Superman is from a more advanced race, Lois is the "animal" in this scenario.
This kind of simplistic "type" thinking always bugged me because it shows naked disregard for nuance and the fluidity of categories. Not only that but it demonstrates a blinkered rigidity of thought that is frankly disgusting.
If we use the standard idea of sexual acceptability, the notion of informed consent, modified by social conventions of age, then hypothetical aliens or other creatures who could demonstrate sapience would be acceptable partners. Now folks wouldn't like it, but they would be in the same category as "Gays are icky" because their objections would fall into the same niche.
This is also fairly stupid because Supes is human-looking. This would be like complaining about sex with elves or dwarves. Try something less basic like Jon Talbain of Darkstalkers (if he had no human form), or the only animal-looking beastwoman I know, Bagi.
Superman is sapient, he's not an animal (see comment by 'Mewtini').
Plus, it's not necrophilia if he came back to life (i.e. isn't dead).

More important than "who shot JR"? Impossible.
Oh, by the way, get a life.
He got better.
What's freakier is fifty years of either of them giving a shit without getting to first base. Might as well have been siblings outside of the South.
Thing about the DC Universe is they rebooted them about twenty times before the eighties and it still never got too real. I've got enough of their married/had a child/ died "imaginary" (imagine) comics to know that and I'm not a big superman fan. (Marvel boy mostly)
OK
If it walks and talks like a human?
The Bowiemeister wrote a song entitled "Loving the Alien".
Nyota Uhura & Spock in the first JJ Abrams "Star Trek" film. And as for James T. Kirk in the "TOS" series, the sky was literally the limit...!
And once again, in the immortal words of Sgt. Hulka: Lighten up, Francis!

I wish I could dare you to say that to her face. Nonhuman!=animal, and 'has died' is not, in this case, equivalent to 'dead.' Your logic is dumb and you should feel dumb.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
