(L-r) LAURENCE FISHBURNE as Perry White and REBECCA BULLER as Jenny in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ action adventure “MAN OF STEEL,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.

Now…this one is confusing.Not long ago, Warner Bros. started to release their Man of Steel tie-in books, and one such book referred to the character played by Rebecca Buller as “Jenny Olsen.”That’s been the rumor for a while now, ever since that name showed up on IMDb, and many fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that Jenny was a gender-swapped version of longtime Superman supporting character Jimmy Olsen. Later rumors debunked that claim, although Warner Bros. and the filmmakers have yet to comment on the character at all. The book appeared to be the first official recognition of her role, and drew some attention online.Who, fans asked, was Jenny Olsen?Well, for starters, she isn’t Jenny Olsen.
