There have been many failed Superman scripts over the years and thanks to a fellow fan we have stumbled upon one that actually had a certain Amazon make an appearance. Boy, what we wouldn't have given to see that! Warner Bros, that could have been a nice way to homage your other heroes who you are so twitchy to risk a movie upon. But then, seeing they are not going to be tying any of these movies together as Marvel are brilliantly doing there franchises, I can't see that they would do this now with the current Superman movie headed by Zack Snyder.
Here is the link.

And below is the part with our favorite heroine.
**************************************************************************
INT. DAILY PLANET LOBBY
A statuesque WOMAN (#2) dressed in a long skirt and conservative
blouse enters. Her body is that of an athlete. Her legs are to
die for. Her skin's like porcelain and her thick jet black wavy
hair cascades down her shoulders to the middle of her back.
She approaches the RECEPTIONIST (#3) who looks up, startled.
RECEPTIONIST #3
(startled)
Can I help you?
WOMAN #2
I'm here to see Clark Kent.
A man walks by in the background staring at her.
QUICK CUT TO:
INT. CITY ROOM
CAT
Hmmmm. More Kansas farm boys?
LOIS
Cat likes 'em big. It must be all the corn.
QUICK CUT TO:
INT. OPENING HALLWAY - OPENING ELEVATOR
The doors open. Everyone in the elevator is at shoulder height to
mystery woman. She exits and they stare. As she walks down the
hall and a man carrying a computer monitor sees her, drops it,
and it shatters on the floor.
QUICK CUT TO:
INT. CITY ROOM
PERRY WHITE sticks his face out of his office.
PERRY
(loud)
KENT!
CLARK gets up and heads for PERRY's office.
CAT
Why are you so hard on Clark, Lois?
RON
She's jealous because she's LOIS LANE: ACE
REPORTER and the story of the century, the
coming of SUPERMAN, was swooped right out
from underneath her while she was there; by
the new guy, the country guy. The nobody who
went to college at Hicksville University in
Kansas. The nobody who never had a
professional gig in his life and not only
does he manage to sneak a story pass the
great and powerful Lois Lane, he manages to
win a Carlin Award in the process...
(slowly)
On his first... time... out.
(Beat, to LOIS)
Green doesn't become you, Lois.
QUICK CUT TO:
INT. DAILY PLANET SECURITY BOOTH
The WOMAN's image is on a wall of monitors. Five GUARDS are
watching her. One signals and two more join them.
QUICK CUT TO:
INT. CITY ROOM
LOIS
(Rant)
You want to know what it is? This guy is a
Boy Scout. He doesn't smoke. He doesn't
drink. He doesn't swear. He calls his parents
everyday. If I had to talk to my father
everyday I'd kill myself. He's honest. He's
trustworthy. He's moral. Every friend he's
got he's had since high school and that just
isn't normal. The guy says grace before his
meals, eats his vegetables first and drinks
milk. And that ridiculous hat! Who wears a
fedora?
(Beat)
For Christ's sake, has anyone ever seen him
use the bathroom?
They stare at her like she's a madwoman.
JIMMY
I saw him help old lady Hayworth across the
street to Berardo's Delicatessen yesterday.
LOIS
That is exactly what I mean. Everybody knows
old lady Hayworth is a cranky bitch.
(Searching for words)
He's like some kind of by-the-book moral,
excellent worker, great writer,
seven-year-old in the body of a linebacker
virgin.
RON
That's it. You're crazy. I hope your medical
is paid for.
LOIS
(Standing to exit)
No. There is something else to this guy.
Things about him we couldn't imagine. Nobody
eats that much apple pie. I can't put my
finger on it but you'll know when I do. Kent
is full of surprises.
She turns and is eye level at the chest of the mystery WOMAN.
CAMERA cuts to a FULL SHOT of the both of them and the woman
(5'11" wearing four inch heels) towering over the 5'7" LOIS.
WOMAN #2
I was told I could find Clark Kent here.
The WOMAN speaks in a very distinct accent (similar to Greek).
Everyone is speechless.
WOMAN #2
Clark Kent. He's a reporter.
More staring.
WOMAN #2
This is the City Room, isn't it?
PERRY's door open and he and CLARK exit. CLARK sees his guest.
CLARK
(Excited)
Diana!
He hugs her. LOIS stares at them both in disbelief.
WOMAN #2 from here on will be known as DIANA.
DIANA
I thought I was in the wrong place.
CLARK
Did you have any trouble getting into town?
DIANA
I'm okay. I have a pretty good sense of
direction.
CLARK
(To everyone)
Everyone, this is an old friend, Diana.
(Introductions)
This is Ron Troupe. Cat Grant our society
columnist. Jimmy Olsen our favorite
photographer. And this is Lois Lane.
DIANA
Clark's told me a lot about you, Miss Lane.
LOIS
Oh really...
CLARK
Let me get my things and we can go. Have a
seat.
CLARK leaves and DIANA sits in his chair. Everyone hovers around
her.
LOIS
So Diana...?
DIANA
Just... Diana.
LOIS
What is it you do?
DIANA
I'm an ancient history liaison for Marston
University in Boston.
LOIS
Is that so?
DIANA
Mostly Greek history and cultures.
LOIS
Are you from Smallville?
DIANA
(Laughing, leans and whispers)
Do I look like I'm from Smallville?
CLARK returns.
CLARK
I'm ready.
DIANA gets up and joins him.
DIANA
It was a pleasure meeting you all.
RON
Likewise.
CLARK and DIANA exit. PERRY enters in time to see them leaving.
PERRY
Geez, where did Kent find the Amazon?
CUT TO:
INT. CLARK'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
The apartment decor is simple. Lots of photos and mementos from
home, high school football trophies and journalism awards.
DIANA's looking at the wall of pictures.
DIANA
This one is new.
clark (OS)
(From the kitchen he looks up at a wall and
answers)
That's my parents and Lana last Christmas.
DIANA
They're such good people.
DIANA gently runs her finger over the image of PA KENT with envy.
DIANA
You know they sent me a Christmas card.
CLARK
(Embarrassed)
I told them you didn't celebrate Christmas.
You should send them a card when Zeus'
birthday comes.
DIANA
I don't think Hallmark makes a card for that.
CLARK steps out from the kitchen with a picnic basket.
CLARK
Ready?
DIANA
Where are we going?
CLARK
A little place I know outside the city.
CUT TO:
EXT. GRASSY PLAINS - NIGHT
CLARK and DIANA are sitting on a large blanket eating by the dim
light of a lantern. Although we can't see the background, they
seem to be in the middle of nowhere with a starlit sky.
DIANA
Everyone misses you, Clark.
CLARK
(Distant)
Really? That means a lot to me.
DIANA
You seem distant. What's troubling you,
Clark?
CLARK
That train. I've caught planes in midair. I
should have been able to stop that. If
Metallo hadn't been there those people would
have died.
DIANA
But they didn't. Be glad he was there.
CLARK
It's weird because I felt fine before I got
there and then I just felt so tired.
DIANA
(Comforting)
It's okay.
CLARK
(Worried)
It's not okay. I don't get sick. Do you have
any idea what it takes to make me tired?
(Beat)
There was a minute where I thought I was
going to die with those people.
DIANA's face turns serious.
CLARK
Have you ever thought you were going to die?
DIANA
(Uneasy at the idea)
I, I've never considered it.
CLARK
Me neither. I swear I was going to get
crushed between those trains. There was a
minute, not even, a fraction of a second,
where something inside told me to get out the
way.
DIANA
Clark...
CLARK
And then in a split second I justified it
thinking if I saved myself and let those few
hundred people die how many more could I save
in my lifetime? A few thousand? Tens of
thousands? Would letting a few hundred people
die be worth saving a few million in the end?
DIANA
But you could never do that. Do you think you
could just let some asteroid drop into the
middle of downtown and whatever happens,
happens.
(Beat)
That's not like you. I know it's a lot of
pressure but you raise the standard. Hal
doesn't tell anybody but I can tell he tries
to run the League like you would. People
strive to be like you and that's a good
thing.
CLARK
I'm afraid one day I'm going to fail them.
DIANA
And one day you might. But you can't live in
fear of that. One day we both might die but
it isn't how you die that's important... it's
how you lived.
There is a long silence.
CLARK
It's nice to have someone who understands.
DIANA
Anytime, Clark. Anytime.
CLARK
This is a really nice spot. I always wondered
why it's here.
DIANA
Do you really want to know?
CLARK
Nah.
The CAMERA pans out and reveals they are sitting in the center of
STONEHENGE.
