I enjoyed the Superman and Lois version. Probably will like the Superman movie one.

Amy Adams was the worst

Kate Bosworth was the worst, she was so bland, I don't remember anything about her Lois. Amy Adams was also not great.

I haven't seen the new one but I guess Margot Kidder was the best. If "best" equaled "hottest", it would be Teri Hatcher without a doubt.

Agreed on Bosworth. And Adams was fine, but they got her "too old," and she was aging like milk at that point when she's supposed to be like the young firecracker/opposing point to Clark.

Erica, mostly because in her story, she grew and earned her spot in Clark's life at a time where he was fawning so much over Lana.

She's not on the poll, but Noel Neill. I think she is the only one that works 100% for me as Lois. I also enjoy Phyllis Coates, Bitsie Tulloch, Rachel Brosnahan and Erica Durance, but I think Noel is just on another level overall.

Other live-action Lois actresses I didn't found outstanding or they just got on my nerves (Margot Kidder in particular I found so grating).

I voted Brosnahan. The movie was alright, but she was probably the best thing about it other than the Kents.

Absolutely! She was born to play that role.

I dunno. She and the Kents were great, but they were no Krypto or Guy Gardner (now that's pitch-perfect IMO).

Casting for me ranged from meh (none of Lex's cronies really left an impression on me, even the super-powered ones I found kinda generic) and wasted potential (I want to like Nicholas Hoult and he does great whenever he loses it, but the performance is just all over the place) to solid (Lois, the Kents, Hawkgirl, Terrific and Metamorpho fit their roles well), but Nathan Fillion was the one casting choice that I can honestly say was perfect.
