The Hollywood Reporter states that Diane Lane will be playing Kansas farmer's wife and adoptive mother to Man of Steel Clark, Martha Kent in Zack Snyder's Superman re-boot.

If correct, then Snyder seems to be aiming for the A-list casting equivalent of Smallville's Annette O'Toole and John Schneider, with Lane and (rumoured) Kevin Costner definitely mirroring their good-looking, charming vibe.
