Superman: Ranking All Lois Lane Performances - Worst To Best

7. Kate Bosworth - Superman Returns

While Superman Returns may not have been the most exciting Superman film ever made, it had a talented group of actors involved, including Kevin Spacey, Frank Langella and the relative newcomer Brandon Routh playing the Man of Steel. Lois was played by Kate Bosworth, and she was perhaps the most unique version of the character to ever be presented. She was a touch more hostile than previously seen, but Bosworth managed to interject a bit of humanity in a rather dull script. Bosworth's Lois was a touch above the film itself, much like Routh's Superman. The chemistry between Superman and Lois was there, and Bosworth does have the rapid-fire delivery you might expect from the character. The issue lied in the fact that the film just never quite took advantage of the character, which left an aloof feeling to her. But even as the film doesn't work the way it should, Bosworth does deliver a bit of reality to the character. She may be ranked at the bottom, but Bosworth did maintain a nice grip on the character, regardless of how criminally short her reign was.
