Fans are already looking forward to the upcoming superhero movie Superman next summer to launch the DCU , because when it comes to superheroes in general, it doesn’t get much more iconic than the Man of Steel. But while Dean Cain’s portrayal of the Man of Steel on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is largely considered one of the best, it wasn’t him who “broke the internet” back before going viral was even a thing. Cain’s co-star Teri Hatcher took that honor when she posed for a photo in nothing but Superman’s red cape, and decades later she’s looking back on that “evocative” moment.
When thinking back to Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher’s ‘90s superhero drama that aired for four seasons on ABC, it wouldn’t be surprising if the image that pops into your head is the infamous one of Hatcher — the slight smile on her face as her sleek black hair falls to her shoulders, the cape with the emblematic “S” draped low around her shoulders to suggest nothing underneath. There’s no getting around it; the pic is hot. Talking to The Guardian , the actress recalled how the image came to be, saying: I broke the internet when we still had dial-up.
I don’t credit myself with being so fabulous. I do remember the photoshoot, which was to promote the TV show. It took all day.
I was wearing a white blouse and pencil skirt because Lois is a reporter from the Daily Planet, with the cape wrapped over. It wasn’t until the last take of the day that someone sa.
