Fan Casting Kitty Kowalski in Michael Dougherty's The Man of Steel

Lex Luthor’s ditzy, neurotic girlfriend, Kitty is stranded on a deserted island with Lex after the events of Superman Returns. She cries constantly, cooks a dog over a campfire, and is ultimately abandoned by Lex when he paddles away without her. Rescued by a fishing boat, she later appears briefly at Lex’s benefit gala, looking glamorous but hollow. Kitty is comic relief and a tragic figure—a woman too self-absorbed to see that Lex never loved her. Her suffering underscores Lex’s cruelty and capacity for betrayal.
