Kate Bosworth in 'Superman Returns' vs. Katie Holmes in 'Batman Begins'

[TMC1982]

Whose acting was worse!?

[bettertomorrowamy]

Since there are only two, I think you mean "worse".  Katie Holmes is nice to look at but didn't do much acting in Batman Begins.  Even less than Kim Bassinger in Batman.

[Tripe]

They were both horrible but Bosworth has Bowie Eyes (really noticeable in 3d Imax) and that gives her a couple of cool points.

There was a scary quantity of "Let's not let the female leads outshine our superheroes: Make them horrendusly dull and unmemorable," going around in the DC Movie writers office, I think.

I thought Katie Holmes was entirely adequate in Batman Begins.  I'm not sure if Kate Bosworth has enough spunk in her to be Lois Lane.  Actually, I think Katie Holmes' replacement on Batman Begins, Maggie Gyllenhaal, would make a great Lois Lane.

See on simmilarity of looks alone Parker Posey would have been a better Lois, a thought that occured to me while watching the film (after the though of I want Lex's wardrobe). There a certain Margo Kidder like quality to her

Parker Posey would be a good choice, I agree with Triple

I really thought Bosworth was a bad pick, not because of the blonde-surfer girl thing, but because she wasn't a good enough actress to pull off not being a blonde-surfer girl.  I mean, geez, she was Sandra Dee.

In my dream Superman movie?  Babs Stanwyck would be a perfect Lois.



Or, in costume with fantasy-cast Superman :

I'm not comparing Kate Bosworth to any other Lois Lane, but she was much better an actor than Katie Holmes, who can't act her way out of a wet paper bag(from what I've seen of her), but it would sure be cool to watch something like that! Maybe Cruise could cheer her on from the sidelines, shouting out words of Scientological wisdom.

Parker Posey would be a good choice, but she's apparently too old for the "youthafied" version of Superman.  Stanwyck would've been great too, but what about Rosalind Russel? She basically plays Lois Lane in His Girl Friday!

That frankly sucks, plus she's way hotter than Bosworth.

Amen!  How could I forget Russel?  She is perfect in that movie - except for the big hat thing, I don't care for the hat.

I think I have to go with Katie Holmes on this one.  Bosworth was pretty forgettable as Lois Lane.  Although I liked Batman Begins alot more than Superman Returns.  Superman was pretty anticlimactic.  So Ive only seen Superman one time, and Ive seen Batman multiple times.
