Would you like to see some of Superman's supporting cast in the cinemas? Someone like Steel, Krypto, Shay Veritas or maybe, just maybe supergirl?

( lets keep powergirl & superboy as far away, they would so not work in the movie world )

I would like to see shay, if I'm going to give Lobdel the credit for anything it's creaing Shay Veritas, this way superman does not need the justice league or batman for every stupid little problem. He has a scientist in his own supporting cast.

Well Jimmy Olsenhas to show up in the Man of Steel universe. Clark needs his best pal. The Jenny character was pointless.

As for others:

• Steel could easily make it on the big screen. I'd like him to start out as John Henry Irons before we get Steel.
• Krypto won't work in the DCCU, but could easily be the name of a dog that Ma Kent owns on the farm in reference to the character.
• Bibbo should've shown up in the scenes where Clark was working on a boat or in the bar scene.
• Pete Ross's character was messed up in the movie and works at IHOP instead of his comic counterpart who was V.P. under Luthor's presidency.
• Lana can still show up down the line, but most likely as a cameo.
• General Sam Lane should've been used in the military scenes.
• Dr. Hamilton shouldn't have gone in the Phantom Zone but instead transformed from good guy to bad guy like in the comics.
• Superboy and Supergirl could work, but I don't see WB/DC going down the sidekick path for anyone except Robin.
• Mercy Graves and Otis should definelty show up if Luthor does.
• The Daily Planet should have more of the classic workers show up. We have already seen Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Steve Lombard and Perry White. Jimmy Olsen should appear, as should Cat Grant, Ron Troupe, and Angela Chen.

@martianmanhunterisbetterthancy: I like the krypto idea.Steel would be really nice to have on the big screen again. ( this time hopefully better executed )

It would be cool if that happened with hamilton. But there is still time.

Was suprised they didn't already put Jimmy, but maybe they want to make him a rookie who got employed after Clark?

Also agree that Lane should have already been seen.

Would like to see the robot bodyguard that luthor had in YG more.

Hopefully that is the plan.

That was Mercy Graves.

@martianmanhunterisbetterthancy: it would be cool if krypto was just an easter egg refrence like you said but then later when someone shows up like Zod did in MoS it turns out to be the actual kyrpto. we find out Clark left there to protect his mother in case something like that were to happen again... huh? pretty good eh? did i blow you mind? be an awesome WTF movie moment. people would joyfully and tearfully applaud in the theatres.

supergirl, steel, jimmy olsen, lana and luthors gang should be there. the others are not needed

But how would Krypto get to Earth?

jor-el test run for his son

That's an interesting approach. But if Krypto does show up, he shouldn't look like a traditional dog. He should be more like this:
