Meet the Kents

 
It’s official boys and girls, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner are Ma and Pa Kent.  I have such mixed emotions about this.  My first thought is, aren’t they too young?  This isn’t Smallville.  But then I realize that a lot of time has passed since Bull Durham and Streets of Fire.  Poor Michael Parѐ.  But I digress. 

I am a Costner fan, I will proudly admit to watching Waterworld, and I like Diane Lane.  She has a tough chick quality that I’ve always found endearing…which is another reason for my mixed emotions about the casting choice.  But Kevin and Diane have moved on to playing parental types and I’m alright with that.  It’s going to be a younger, prettier, and possibly grittier Superman.  Bring it on.
