So Amy Adams Is The New Lois Lane...

[fembuck]

I never would have guessed this in a million years but now that the announcement is here ... I kind of like it.  

When I was considering Lois Amy Adams name never entered my mind, but thinking about it now that she's been cast she seems like a good fit.

There's no way she could possibly not be a step up from Kate Bosworth.

So true! *remembers Bos-Lane...shudders*

Honestly, at worst I see Amy just being 'okay' in the role. She has the potential to be really good though, which is a nice.

I'm still having trouble picturing that one. It feels like Chris Nolan wasn't even trying when he made that decision.

This. I feel like Nolan really doesn't give a shit about the female characters in his films, and just casts anyone who has some buzz about them at that moment in time. So, in a way I'm glad that I didn't get my ideal actress for Catwoman cast since I'm sure the character is going to be under-written and side-lined anyway.

I feel the same way about both the Hathaway casting and the fate of Catwoman in Dark Knight Rises.

Between Amy and Anne, I think we should be more worried about Anne for two reasons.

1. Talentwise, I see Amy being the better of the two. Anne has just not completely proven herself to me yet.

2. Lois is likely going to be better written than Selina. David S. Goyer is penning the Superman film. His record with female characters varies, but he was the creator for Blade the series. A show where Jill Wagner and Jessica Gower were getting the most praise for. Nolan on the other hand, best female characters he's done so far is in Inception, and they were still pretty forgettable. And Nolan also happens to be one of the writers for the Batman film.
