Carla Gugino As Lois Lane
As Robert Rodriguez said on the Sin City commentary.
shareThat would have worked!
shareShe can not only played a snarky woman but she's also a dashing leading lady. Partnering Routh with a more mature actress would've worked for him better.
shareGood point and I agree. Bosworth felt out of place in that role, especially with this Lois being a mom.
shareBosworth was like 22 years old at the time, she looked like a 15 year old school girl than a fearless reporter, she doesn't have that tough edge that Margot Kidder had or that tough edge you need for Lois. Gugino looks like she could play a mother who could yank her son out of bed.
shareGugino has that nice curvy frame that Erica Durance has, Bosworth doesn't have that, she has the body of a 14 year old and doesn't have that beauty that they have.
shareGugino looks like she can play a bantering Lois which was something missing from SR, Clark and Lois banter is kind of a must with them, here she just feels like a generic girl next door or actress playing a role that we've seen brought to a classic status before.
shareThat's another good point. It's almost like this was the "generic" Superman movie. Reliable, but mostly bland and flavorless.
shareLois & Clark, TAS and Smallville had their classic banter but you don't get that with SR or MOS.
By the time the Clois/Blur seasons of Smallville everyone had just forgotten about SR Lois at that point.
