"Dean Cain has claimed that modern superhero films are influenced by his former show Lois &amp;amp; Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman. The 45-year-old actor played Clark Kent / Superman in the ABC series from 1993 to 1997. &amp;quot;Lois &amp;amp; Clark was designed primarily to be fun,&amp;quot; he told Entertainment Weekly. &amp;quot;But I feel like whenever I see a big-budget epic like Green Lantern or Spider-Man, they all seem like episodes of Lois &amp;amp; Clark.&amp;quot; Cain added that the latest batch of comic book movies are &amp;quot;based on relationship dynamics&amp;quot; that Lois &amp;amp; Clark &amp;quot;tapped into all the time&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m like, I did moments like this literally a hundred times, and now this movie is making $300 million?&amp;quot; said the actor. &amp;quot;I guess it&amp;#039;s all about the special effects [with these films].&amp;quot;  Following the conclusion of Lois &amp;amp; Clark, Cain and his former co-star Teri Hatcher both played guest roles on The CW&amp;#039;s Smallville. A new Superman film, starring Henry Cavill in the title role, is due for release in December 2012. &amp;gt; Superman: Man of Steel - First look at the Daily Planet Watch a video montage of Dean Cain in Lois &amp;amp; Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
