Book Girl: Lois Lane Friday: Book News and My Favorite Live-Action Version

There just isn't enough of Lois Lane in the world so I thought why not have Lois Lane Friday. A column where I can post interesting things about Lois Lane from the funny to the thought provoking.

First, for the book news, there will be a sequel to the popular Lois Lane: Fallout by Gwenda Bond. The next book which according to the author's website is currently in the editing process and will be titled Lois Lane: Double Down. It's scheduled to be released Spring 2016. Now that's something to look forward to especially with the way DC Comics is currently dragging the character threw the mud.

Now for the second part of my post, I wanted to focus on my favorite live-action versions of the character which were played by: Phyllis Coates, Noel Neill, Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher and Erica Durance. They each brought something different to the role and seemed to make it their own.

I didn't include either Lois from Superman Returns (Kate Bosworth) and Man of Steel (Amy Adams) because they were Lois in name only. They were empty shells and rather forgettable.

There's more to Lois than being a great reporter and being feisty, she's smart, highly opinionated, courageous and willing to take risk and she's always looking out for others. She's loyal, driven, hardworking, passionate not only about her career but also her love life (i.e. Clark Kent) and most importantly she's not afraid to be herself.

Although, Lois has undergone many changes over her long history, however the key things never really change.
