Cosmic Booknews got wind that a classic Superman actor will have a role in the upcoming Man of Steel film and some fans are speculating that Annette O'Toole is that actor. The speculation comes from the voice over in the newest 'Man of Steel' trailer. Specifically, the part where your hear a woman's voice say: "My son was in the bus. He saw what Clark did." It is definitely a long shot, but the thought of Annette making a cameo appearance in the film is all kinds of awesome!

Take a listen and see what you think?

"Word surfaced the other day that a classic Superman actor will have a role in the upcoming Man of Steel movie. The possibilities are endless, but could the identity of the actor have already been known? Maybe we just had to look a little harder? Scratch that. Not look. Listen.

CBN reader Andrew Francis pointed out that in the latest Man of Steel trailer where Clark saves the bus, it just might have a voice over by none other than Annette O'Toole. Of course, she played Lana Lang in the Donner movies as well as Ma Kent on Smallville..."

I am also throwing out my own speculation that Lana Lang (Jadin Gould) is in that 'Bus' scnene shown in the trailer. I guess we shall see who is right this summer.

Who really belongs with Clark Kent? Lois? Chloe? Lana? Well, obviously I have my favorite *looks around* and it seems this yahoo contributer agrees...

From: tv.yahoo

"Yes, we all know how the story goes. We all know that this is the final season of "Smallville" and that Clark Kent always ends up with Lois Lane (Erica Durance). But is Lois really the woman for Clark? Wouldn't he be better off with Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) or Chloe Sullivan (Alison Mack)? Here then is each of these women would rate as the better half of Metropolis' Superman.

Lana Lang - The Tragic Girl Next Door

Farm breed and raised next door to Clark, Lana was the Man of Steel's first love. Never mind that she somehow ends up being duped into marring Lex Luther (Michael Rosenbaum) by season six (in the episode "Promise"), or that she has relationships with Whitney Fordman (Eric Johnson), Adam Knight (Ian Somerhalder), and Jason Teague (Jensen Ackles) along the way. After all this show spans 10 seasons and Lana spent a good deal of those seasons trying to get a little bit of honesty out of Clark Kent. But let's put all that aside. In the end, Lana never stops loving Clark and in a moment of self sacrifice she leaves Smallville so she doesn't interfere with Clark's ultimate destiny. So how would Lana fare if she were to marry Clark Kent? First, there is their mutual attraction, coupled that with the fact that they have a friendship based on shared history and you have the start of a good relationship. Add to that the fact that Lana grows from a tragic orphaned figure into a self assured woman who doubles as a superhero by season eight, and you end up with a compelling match for Clark. On a 10 point scale then, let's give Lana a solid 8 as a match for Clark. She would rate higher if she hadn't married the show's archvillain..."

Chloe scored between '6 & 7' and Lois was a '5'.

A nice fan made "Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang" custom figure created by manomight1974. I just wished the image was sharper...

"Since we never got a figure of the incomparable and sexy Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang in the Superboy/Adventures of Superboy TV Series, I set about creating us one.

First, I removed the head and arms from a Season 5 Willow body, and repainted the sweater, T-shirt, and shoes to more closely match the outfit worn by Ms. Haiduk in the Season 4 Superboy episode "The Basement". Next, I used my Dremel to excavate out a new hole in the Seaquest DSV Hitchcock head, remove the small portion of neck from it so that the head and the Willow figure's neck could fit together nicely and neatly, and grind down the sides, top and back to more match the Willow head once the hair had been removed...

Lana Lang is in the feature-length animated film 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1'!

This animated movie is based on Frank Miller's groundbreaking 1986 four-issue limited series of the same name which has since been made available in graphic novel form. The film is divided into two parts: 'Part 1' which was released on September 25, 2012 and 'Part 2' set to be released on January 29, 2013!

Lana Lang plays a small but pivotal role in the story as editor of the Daily Planet defending Batman amongst heavy criticism. Paget Brewster (Dan Vs.) is the voice of Lana Lang and you can learn more about Paget and her extensive career in a recent interview by Big Shiny Robot:

"Paget Brewster has been acting steadily since the mid 90′s, but the name might not immediately conjure a face (unless you watched "Andy Richter Saves the Universe, which you should have, but I suppose that's another article for another day). She has played such iconic characters as Lana Lang and Birdgirl . . . from the recording booth. Ms. Brewster began her voice over career in the late 90′s on an amazing cartoon called "Godzilla: The Series," and credits that as the experience that helped further her talent in voice over..."

The film is directed by Jay Oliva (Man of Steel, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights) from a screenplay by Bob Goodman (Warehouse 13). Sam Register (Young Justice, Teen Titans, Ben 10) and Bruce Timm (Justice League: Doom) are the executive producers.

A cool bit of Lana Lang trivia...voice-actor Townsend Coleman plays Morrie in this film. Townsend happens to be the actor who played the voice of teenage Clark Kent in the1980s Superman Family Album animation series alongside Lana Lang (Liz Georges) in the episode 'First Date'! In 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1', Townsend's character Morrie also interacts with Lana Lang (Paget Brewster) however, this time their characters are at odds with one another.
