I just looked at the actress' age, and she's 37, which means that, as was the case with Cat Grant, Chyler Leigh, and Jeremy Jordan, they ultimately went with someone who was outside of their casting range by a significant margin.
News Next Arrowverse Crossover to Include Batwoman
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
Unfortunately, I never watched Grimm and don't know her work, but I trust these casting people. Plus I'm psyched just on general principles. We have our new Lois Lane! Welcome to a great character and a great legacy, Ms. Tulloch.
She looks like her as well (at least the Gary Frank version).
More so than Amy Adams (who I have no problem with playing the role by the way). You know if Warners statement that there isn't going to be another Superman film for quite some time is correct, then I think they're missing a great opportunity if they don't do an Arrowverse Superman show.

^ There's no reason to do a Superman series set in the Arrowverse because that narrative ground has already been covered/is being covered by Supergirl.
Honestly, rather than a solo Superman series, I'd rather just see him pop up on Supergirl more often, but since he's now got a regular role on the Netflix series Another Life that's probably unlikely.
I liked Bitsie/Elizabeth Tulloch on Grimm, and I think she'll be a great Lois.

Ollie's sister-in-law has been cast as ...
... Nora Fries, wife of Victor Fries, aka Mr. Freeze.
Wow, this crossover just keeps getting more jampacked with Superman/Batman characters. No wonder they didn't have room for the Legends.
No more "Bitsie"?
It was a unique (for this day and age) name.
You meant Stephen Amell's wife, right?
That confused me for a minute, I thought she was going to be Felicity's sister.
Just to make things clear, the actress playing the character is Cassandra Jean Amell, the real life wife of Oliver Queen actor Stephen Amell.
She is definitely not a character I expected to see, but I'm assuming if we're getting her then her husband probably isn't far behind.

Not necessarily. They might be setting the character up for the Batwoman show.
Yes. I just realized I mixed up Stephen and Robbie. And somehow thought they were brothers, not cousins. Boy, did I fuck that one up.

LoL! Going the same route as Supergirl with gender swapped villains.So... Mrs. Freeze then?
I wouldn't be surprised if the Batwoman series included Nora Fries as a member of the ensemble as a way of setting up a potential future storyline involving Mr. Freeze, like how Supergirl included Winn Schott and eventually revealed he was Toyman's son.
Or not.
So I wonder if this will be a pre-illness Nora or a genderswapped version of her comics husband?
Have there been any comics that have dealt with her before she got sick?
There are a number of characters in various DC and Marvel screen productions that have only their names in common with their comics counterparts -- e.g. Arrow's Edward Fyers, or Agent Carter's Roger Dooley. Arguably Felicity Smoak is such a character, though both versions at least have a connection to computers. Sometimes I think DC and Marvel just have their shows and films assign existing character names to what are otherwise original characters so that they can avoid paying royalties to the creators of said original characters. Granted, Nora Fries is less obscure than those characters, but it's conceivable that they just needed a suitable name for a new female character and decided Nora was close enough.
A recent BATMAN storyline revealed that Nora was never actually Freeze's wife; that was just a delusion on his part after he became obsessed with a particular cryonics test subject. But there's no way to know how the TV shows are going to approach Freeze's origin, of which there have been various versions.
