Things We Saw Today: The Arrowverse Finds Its Lois Lane in Grimm‘s Bitsie Tulloch

The Arrowverse has cast Bitsie Tulloch (Grimm) as Lois Lane in their upcoming three episode crossover event. Tulloch will join Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman in the crossover that includes Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl. The event will also feature the introduction of Ruby Rose as Batwoman. Tulloch seems like a great choice for the role, and is already a Lois Lane fangirl, according to her Instagram post about the gig.

Tulloch wrote in her post, “When I started acting, one of my teachers asked me to watch the screen tests for the role of Lois Lane for 1978’s Superman. All of the actresses were terrific, but it was always clear to me why Margot Kidder won the role: she seemed lit from within, full of joie de vivre. Now, at a time when the noble profession of journalism feels under siege, it’s a privilege to join the club of actresses who have played the dogged reporter.”

Tulloch is clearly a fan of the character, and here’s hoping that she gets to recur in the Arrowverse after the crossover event. After all, Kara is barely working at CatCo anymore and somebody needs to pick up the slack, am I right?

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
