Amy Adams Says Playing Lois Lane is a Childhood Dream

She’s feminine, she’s intelligent, she’s a go-getter. She’s somebody I have identified with since whenever.

I’m like the luckiest girl in the world. I’ve gotten to be a princess, I’ve gotten to work with the Muppets. A lot of my childhood dreams about who I wanted to be when I was a grown-up, I at least get to play them in movies. And Lois Lane is one of them.

–Amy Adams on Lois Lane here.

It’s something that all geeks like to see: that the actor who is playing their hero on the big screen is just as into the character as they are, and understands why it’s such a big deal. There’s no telling at this point whether Zach Snyder will deliver a Superman movie for the ages, but it seems like Amy Adams was a good choice.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
