The love interest of Superman's life - Lois Lane is beauty and spunk in a high-flying (no pun intended) reporter's suit.
I'm excited to see Supes back in the forefront and it's about damn time. Henry Cavill (The Tudors, Immortals & The Count of Monte Cristo) is donning the red cape & a slicker suit with the famous Superman sigil and Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen), as director, is doing much needed damage control after Bryan Singer's (boring) Superman Returns. I have a number of reasons why I have high hopes for this film: 1) I like Snyder's style of editing films, 2) Christopher Nolan's name is attached to the movie, 3) the cast (Russel Crowe, Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Costner & Diane Lane to name a few), and 4) this gorgeous teaser trailer from last year.

Now thoughts on the upcoming movie aside, we also have a new Lois Lane. I think Lois is one of the more modern and relatable comic book heroines. She's a strong female character and a brilliant and accomplished journalist with a Pulitzer Prize under her belt. Amy Adams has proven to be a versatile actress (Enchanted, The Fighter) so I'm looking forward to see her own portrayal of this persistent, sometimes pesky, investigative reporter. Take a look back down memory lane with me and see the "Lois Lane" actresses I've watched on the big and small screen.
Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns, 2006)
Erica Durance (Smallville, 2004-2011)
Teri Hatcher (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, 1993-1997)

It's exactly a week from today before the premiere of Man of Steel (and more importantly, Philippine Independence day!) so get your movie/DC comics geek caps on and see you at the theatres. ;)

I hope we'll get some back story of Lois in Man of Steel.
ReplyDeleteI agree although I think the film would still ground her as a military brat. I'm basing this on the trailers ofc. I mean, what kind of reporter has access to a military base camp and get one-on-one time with Superman? Haha! It would be interesting if they'll show or add more to her back story. :)
DeleteSmartest Lois Lane among the bunch, I'd say. Kate Bosworth is a good actress but Amy Adams lent a lot more grit and street cred to her LL version. :)
