“You’ll see, Clark. I won’t even be a footnote in your legend.” Her sad smile breaks your heart.

“Somehow, I doubt that.” You’re wrong, Chlo. You’re everything.

And in the end, you’re both right. The world forgets Chloe Sullivan ever existed, and the woman who once wore her name becomes a legend in her own right.

Superman is a symbol of hope in a world of crumbling values. He’s a bit flighty - he once disappeared for five years - but people forgive him because they know he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Lois Lane is a constant. She reminds the world that you don’t need powers to stand up for truth, justice and the American way.

She’s so much more than a footnote.
