Omega Underground has found a casting call for the role of Lois Lane on Supergirl. The character will reportedly make her first appearance at the end of this season or sometime in the show’s fourth season (assuming it’s renewed). The site also found an audition tape for the role,…

FEATURE: Why Lois Lane Deserves a Solo Movie
The year is 2013; the movie, Man of Steel. As Krypton breathes its dying breaths, an alien craft approaches Kansas, its special cargo safely inside. As the fireball approaches Earth, the scene SMASHS to… Zod’s arrival, a Daily Planet staff gobsmacked, and a star reporter who alone can track down the hero Earth needs.

When we meet Lois, she’s on assignment in the arctic, covering the discovery of an object beneath the ice. Clark saves…

Review: MAN OF STEEL
If you know me by following me on Twitter, you’d know I love Man of Steel. I’ve been in love with it ever since I saw it on June 14, 2013 (the day it came out), and have continued to defend it to this day. In case you didn’t know because you’ve been living under a rock the past three years, Man of Steel is one of the most divisive films to come out this decade. It either lived up to your expectations or it disappointed you heavily. Man of Steel lived up to my expectations; and then some. In Man of Steel, the planet of Krypton is on the verge…
