Latino Review has an exclusive that makes us all hopeful for the future of DC's movie properties.

New Zod and Young Ra's

Over the last few days some very villainous casting details have been confirmed for Dark Knight Rises and Superman: Man of Steel (now just titled Man of Steel).

On Friday is was announced that Josh Pence will be bringing Ra's Al Ghul back to the big screen in Dark Knight Returns flashbacks. This makes perfect sense considering all signs point to Ra's daughter Talia making an appearance.

Then yesterday, it was announced that Michael Shannon would be playing the megalomaniacal Kryptonian General Zod. For those keeping score at home, this news means that four out of the five cast members have been nominated for an Oscar for their craft.

The internets are a-buzz with the news of Superman's new Lois Lane. Zack Snyder has chosen three time Oscar nominee Amy Adams to play the feisty gal reporter. It's an interesting choice. Honestly, she is a name that I never considered, despite being a talented young actress. It will be interesting to see if she can pull off the Lois vibe.

Gentle readers, you might come to a geek-themed blog like this expecting to see someone (read: me) complain about how Ms. Adams is a redhead and Lois is classicly a brunette. I will admit that there was a time when that would have bothered me, but now I am just glad to see a great actress getting a chance to play the part. Plus, when a problem can be solved with a bottle of hair dye, it's a pretty small obstacle.
