Teri Hatcher’s big break came in 1993, when she was cast as Lois in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.” This may be hard to believe for you young’uns, but she was one of the sexiest women of the ’90s (I keep telling everyone I know that it was a crappy decade). Really, it’s true. She was one of the most famous and memorable girlfriends on “Seinfeld.” She even beat out Monica Bellucci to be a Bond girl, a decision that I hope resulted in someone being eaten alive by wild dogs.

And now, ravaged by time and Botox, Hatcher will play Lois Lane’s mother on “Smallville.”

For the show’s 10th and final season, producers have scored perhaps their biggest (maybe even the biggest possible) casting coup: They’ve snagged erstwhile Lois Lane Teri Hatcher to play mom to Erica Durance’s Lois Lane!

I know what you’re thinking: But Lois’ mom, Ella, is dead! Follow along now… In episode 8, titled “Abandoned,” Lois discovers old videotapes of her mother. I think you can figure the rest out for yourself. [Ausiello] [Ed. Note: Good God, do I wanna kick that guy in the balls.]

I suppose I can’t feel too bad for Hatcher, what with all the crazy cash she’s making on “Desperate Housewives.” I mean, at least she’s still working. When reached for comment, Dean Cain said, “Hey baby, you ever been jacked off by Superman? C’mon, don’t walk away, it’ll be the best ten bucks you ever spend.”

Most of you Internet veterans out there are already familiar with the phenomenon of real-life superheroes.  Oddee featured ten real-life superheroes back in 2007, Rolling Stone had an excellent article about the subject this past winter, and the World Superhero Registry is a well-traveled destination for those needing to know more about local vigilantes.

However, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a real-life superhero (NOTE: hero may not be super) featured on television, and… hoo boy.  This is either a news report about Cincinnati’s “Shadow Hare” and his team of tubby friends or a pilot for a sitcom.  Seriously, if you asked Michael Schur of “The Office” to make a news report about real-life superheroes, you would get this.  Check out the look the sheriff gives the camera at about the 1:50 mark.  This video needs to go straight to the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
