Yeah because 'Death and Return' of Superman had very little Lois Lane. She was a huge part of the comic story more than what we got in BvS and will have in JL. And mamy people do want to see Lois again. Amy Adams said she want's to do it too.
And it's Amy Adams playing Lois frickin Lane. This isn't an nothing actor playing a nothing character. And had they released the Ultimate Edition of BvS for cinematic release, It would've made the complaint's a lot more stupid. The UE is a lot better for Lois and Clark's arc.
But BvS is hardly Death and Return of Superman, though. It's a small part of Death of Superman, with a bit more of a reworking of TDKR, while incorporating in many ways thematic elements from Passion of the Christ and Excalibur.
The UC does treat Lois much better, but even then, but like Clark's own investigation, her subplot doesn't really impact the larger plot except in the ending montages where Lex actually gets arrested (though he could have been arrested based on Doomsday alone).
I'd definitely love to see a larger role for Amy Adams, but that'd also require a story appropriate for Lois's involvement. I don't see how JL contains that story. The only thing worse than a reduced appearance in Justice League is an oversized misuse of her appearance in Justice League.
That's why I'd rather they use her sparingly in JL, and then greatly expand her role in a MOS 2 that gives her something more substantial to do. That's precisely why I want a MOS 2 that pits Superman against Intergang while also containing a conspiracy involving Morgan Edge for Lois (and Clark and others) to investigate.
