The main love interest in the film is Lana Lang. Lana is typically associated with Clark's early years living in Smallville. But she did show up in Metropolis as an adult in later comics. This led to a rivalry developing between Lana and Lois for Superman's affections during the Silver Age. Curiously, neither of them was too interested in Clark, whereas in the movie Lana is more attracted to Clark than she is Superman. This reflects the changing dynamic between the characters during the Bronze Age era. In the following example from Action Comics #543 (May 1983), Lana describes how her feelings of friendship towards Clark are maturing into feelings of a romantic nature. Clark in turn realizes that Lana is finally more interested in his civilian alter ego than his costumed persona. The film presents a similar take on their relationship.
