Fan Casting Lana Lang in Wolfgang Petersen's Batman vs. Superman

The dream of a normal life, forever receding in a Kansas sunset. Lana is Clark Kent's first love, the girl next door who has grown into a woman of profound emotional intelligence and gentle sorrow. When Clark returns to Smallville shattered by grief, she reconnects with him not as a potential romance, but as the keeper of his human heart. In the film's philosophical centerpiece, she delivers the truth Clark cannot see: his inability to let people die is not alien, but the most human thing about him. She kisses him goodbye and walks away, releasing him to be Superman.
