Meet the New Lois Lane

Everyone knows who Lois Lane is.  She's been part of the Superman mythos for eons, and it would be hard to imagine a Man of Steel movie without her.  And Amy Adams will be bringing her to life for Zack Snyder's 2012 reboot.


I must say this is a .....strange choice.  On one hand you have the young, dashing, hard edged Henry Cavill.  I don't think he'll become "the" definitive Superman, but he can certainly be the coolest.  And now we have Amy Adams, who is almost a decade older than her love interest.  She might be one of the best actresses working right now, but can you really see her next to the super-sexified Henry Cavill?  She's almost too down to Earth, and maybe a little too sweet.  I just struggle to see her next to Supes.  This is probably the first casting choice for the movie I'm a bit disappointed in.  They've had mostly fitting choices so far, and this seems somewhat off key.  At the very least she's a wonderful actress, and I can't imagine it possibly being a "bad" performance.

Fun fact, this isn't the first time Amy Adams has stood next to the Man of Tomorrow.  She played a character named Jodi Melville (whoever the hell that is) on an episode of Smallville.  So at least one character from that show got into the movie, eh?
