Natalie Portman may be Warner Brothers’ number one choice for the part of Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman reboot, reports Moviehole.

Clark Kent says: Seems like Natalie is caught up in a few rumors these days. More news after the jump.

VIA SHH:

The site reports that Portman was in the running for the part as far back as Superman Returns and that the recently rumored addition of Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky to the alleged studio short list may be a sign that negotiations for the part are back on the table.

The project, written by David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan, is to be “godfathered” by Batman Begins and The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan. The recent “short list” is also said to include Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code), Jonathan Liebesman (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Battle: Los Angeles and just-signed for Clash of the Titans 2), Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In), Tony Scott (True Romance, Unstoppable), and Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300).

The first ever actress to play Lois Lane was Rolly Bester, who voiced the character on the 1940′s radio adaptation. Subsequently, the part has been played by over a dozen actresses in a variety of media. Margot Kidder famously played the part in four Superman films with Kate Bosworth assuming the role for 2006′s Superman Returns. Currently, Erica Durance portrays the character on the television series, Smallville.

Clark Kent asks: Can Natalie Portman follow in these ladies footsteps? Speak your piece below in the comments section.

Last week, news broke that David Goyer was exiting ABC’s “FlashForward” as showrunner so that he can again concentrate on his feature career.

Clark Kent says: It’s interesting to see how folks are looking for anything, but Goyer gives up some goodies after the jump.

“As my feature projects have started ramping up again, I felt I was being pulled in too many directions,” Goyer said. “I’m proud of the show and excited about the relaunch. It’s in great hands.”

Once again buried in a story on Deadline Hollywood is the revelation that one of those features is none other than The Dark Knight follow-up:

Of course, Goyer’s feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins, and penned the story for The Dark Knight, and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan’s brother Jonah.
