Wherefore art thou, Lois Lane?

First off… Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor? DUDE.

Rumor mill says there are several candidates up for Lois Lane in the new Superman Movie:

Meanwhile, Cinescape says the following six actresses are being considered for the role of Lois Lane: Mischa Barton from “The O.C.”, Charisma Charpenter from “Angel,” Mia Kirshner from “The Crow: City of Angels,” Evangeline Lilly from “Lost,” Natalie Portman from the “Star Wars” prequels, and Keri Russell from “Felicity”.

Right off… Natalie Portman? No: she’s just too ladylike for Lois. She lacks the… well. Balls. Lois needs a harder edge, more brass. Hell, most of the girls up there are a little lacking. (Mischa Barton? WTF?) Charisma Charpenter can snark with the best of them, but certainly there’s more than one mouthy brunette in Hollywood? Hell, Smallville found one.

What do you folks think?
