ASK...THE QUESTION: When Did Lois Start Calling Clark "Smallville"?

KookieSuperApe asks:

What is the first instance of Lois Lane calling Clark Kent by the nickname “Smallville”? Where did that originate?

Like so much of what we take for granted about Superman, whether it’s Kryptonite or Jimmy Olsen, this piece of lore originates outside of the comic book sphere. Lois Lane’s pet name for her small-town rival is actually from television, in the Alan Burnett and Paul Dini-written three-part pilot of Superman: The Animated Series, “Last Son of Krypton,” back in 1996. It was the show’s way of cultivating a playful antagonism between the Daily Planet’s two star reporters, and it went on to be used throughout the show and its comic book tie-ins, such as Superman Adventures. This is why you never hear Lois use the nickname in, for instance, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman—for most of the series, it didn’t exist yet!

The first time the “Smallville” nickname was used outside of the Animated Universe was in Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s 1998 four-issue treatise on Big Blue and those most important to him, Superman: For All Seasons. Loeb went on to use the nickname in his subsequent comic runs on Superman beginning with 1999’s Superman #151, and it’s been part of the canon ever since.

The first live action Lois Lane to refer to Clark as “Smallville” is Erica Durance, on (appropriately enough) TV’s Smallville, in 2004.

And the only time Clark has been called “Smallville” in a major motion picture was in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice…not by Lois, but by Perry White!
