Fan Casting Perry White in Kevin Smith's Superman Lives

The gruff, old-school editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet. Perry has run the newsroom for decades and has seen it all—corrupt politicians, costumed vigilantes, and now an alien occupation. He trusts Lois Lane implicitly, even when she publicly opposes Lex Luthor and Brainiac at great personal risk. When LexCorp security raids the Planet, Perry stands his ground, shouting in Lex's face about lawsuits and constitutional rights. Beneath his bluster, Perry has a heart of gold and genuine affection for his reporters. He represents the fading era of print journalism—uncompromising, ethical, and unwilling to bow to power.
