Lois and Jor El

 A sneak peek at Amy Adams and Russell Crowe in costume for SUPERMAN.

Lois Lane Is An Angel

Charlie’s Angels, starring Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights), Rachael Taylor (Grey’s Anatomy) and Annie Ilonzeh (General Hospital), premiere's in the states  a week from today. In an October episode, the divine Erica Durance plays Samantha Masters, a tough-as-nails, Glock-toting CIA operative who shares a romantic past with Bosley (Ramon Rodriguez).  I had every intention of checking out this re-make but now I'm sold.  For those of us who are Erica fans, she will be appearing in Brisbane at the Supanova conference so get your 'fanboy' on and head up north.

They've Cast Lois

Official word is out from director Zack Snyder himself, that Academy-award nominated actress Amy Adams is joining Superman: Man Of Steel as none other than Lois Lane!

“There was a big, giant search for Lois,” Snyder said. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”


“It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relebant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance].”


“Second only to Superman himself, the question of who will play Lois Lane is arguably what fans have been most curious about," Snyder said in a statement Sunday. "So we are excited to announce the casting of Amy Adams, one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today. Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful."

Smallville - Day 3

It's all about the fabulous Lois Lane today.  Star reporter at the Daily Planet, Clark Kent/Superman's sidekick, friend and even eventually - wife!

The appearance of Lois Lane was first based on Joanne Carter, a model that creator Jerome Siegel eventually married and Lois's personality was based on Torchy Blane, a reporter featured in some 1930 films and her name was taken from Lola Lane, one of the Lane sisters who were a singing act in the '20s and '30s.

Depictions of Lois Joanne Lane have varied since her character was created in 1938, spanning the 70-year history of Superman comic books and other media adaptations. During the Silver Age, she was the star of Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, a comic title that had a light and frivolous tone. However, the original Golden Age version of Lois, as well as versions of her from the 1970s onwards, portray Lois as a tough-as-nails journalist and intellectual equal to Superman. One thing has remained throughout the character's 70-year history, however: she has always been the most prominent love-interest in Superman's life and is seen by many fans as the archetypical comic book love interest.

Big shoes to fill for any actress taking on the task of portraying Ms Lane, and there have been many over the years.  Who is your favourite Lois?

Faces of Smallville

Look who has popped up on Smallville again.  Mr Lucas Grabeel - he of the High School Musical fame where he played the hilarious Ryan Evans.

Lucas appeared in various earlier episodes of Smallville playing the younger Lex Luthor and now here he is again in season 10 playing Connor.  Love a good link between shows.  I'm almost as excited as I was when he appeared in an episode of the amazing 'Veronica Mars'.

While we're on the subject of all things 'Super' indulge me while I sigh over this shot of Lois and Clark.... Aaaahh!

Anne Hathaway as Lois Lane??

For all you Superman freaks, rumour has it, that Anne hathaway may play lois Lane in the upcoming SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL hitting our screens in 2012.
