    My friend writes on this very topic and suggests Rashida Jones.

    Rumour has it that because Batman Begins was so top-heavy with Brits (Bale, Caine, Oldman) and Irish actors (Neeson, Murphy), WB were insistent that the leading lady be an American (Katie Holmes). I'd imagine that with a Brit Superman, the same will occur here.

    ^ I also think Cavil was cast so they could have a more high profile actress as Lois Lane. Similar casting occurred with "Superman Returns". Brandon Routh was unknown while Kate Bosworth was known at the time for "Blue Crush" at the time.

    I like your choices. Missy Peregrym never occurred to me but she could be quite good. I really like her in Reaper.

    I was also going to suggest Stana Katic or Mila Kunis.

    As to the casting of Cavil as Superman/Clark Kent, I haven't seen any of his work but I'm going to assume that the fact he was in The Tudors bodes well. Also he totally looks the part.

    As much as I love Mila Kunis I just can't see her as Lois Lane.

    Just like the racial casting ideas bandied about here, another fine idea sure to provoke neocon reaction, all of it negative.

    Alternatively, it might just be a joke.

    My top tier picks for Lois at the moment are Rebecca Hall, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Evangeline Lilly, and Rachel McAdams.

    You really think someone with that signature could tell a joke if his life depended on it? :lol:

    You obviously don't even know what "neocon" means.
