Lois Lane ...

I thought exactly the same thing when I her Zack Snyder was directing the new Superman movie. Put a dark wig on her and she's perfect for the role. And I hope they keep Brandon Routh as Superman, I think they would be great together.

First of all, the last twists in her career that I would like Abbie Cornish, one of the most versatile and intense actresses today, to take would to be in a Comic book film. Unless it carried the gravitas of the Batman franchise.

Second of all, you must be the only person that wants Brandon to return as Superman, including the people in charge of this film.

Hey, the characters of Leonidas and Gorgo, didn't exactly harm Butler or Lena's acting career.

I'd say every single actor who's been in a Snyder film has been good for their acting career. He just directs films with fully realized well written characters.

She'd be great as lois lane, although who is playing Superman is crucial.

What exactly is wrong with a film based on a comic? There have been many astounding films based on comics other than Batman. Like:

Road to Perdition
Ghostworld
A History of Violence
Scott Pilgrim v. the World
Watchmen
30 Days of Night
American Splendor
Persepolis
A History of Violence
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Blade

And I'm sure there will be a lot more in the future.

Graphic novels are not comics.



"I'd never ask you to trust me. It's the cry of a guilty soul."

A lot of movies advertised as being based on an "acclaimed graphic novel" were monthly maxiseries (like Watchmen and V for Vendetta) or miniseries (like 30 Days of Night) or just regular monthlies (like Ghostworld or Blade). In collection form they are generally referred to as trade paperback, but calling them graphic novels has been the industry way of not scaring off people afraid they're going to be seeing something "childish." In addition, there are many superhero comics that are genuinely good, mature stories. If you're feeling adventurous and not narrow-minded, I recommend the following:

Incognito by Ed Brubaker
Squadron Supreme by J. Michael Straczynski
Wildcats Version 3.0 by Joe Casey
Sleeper also by Brubaker
Echo by Terry Moore
Runaways by Brian K. Vaughn
Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon
Alias by Brian Michael Bendis
Powers also by Bendis

All are collected by now, except for later issues of Echo and the current follow-up to Incognito.

Ah that would be interesting.

But she's a little too strong looking though. The actor portraying Superman would have to be huge, muscular.
