Movie: Superman Returns (2006)

“After eliminating General Zod & the other Kryptonian arch-villains, Ursa & Non, Superman leaves Earth to try to find his former home world of Krypton after astronomers have supposedly found it. When he finds nothing but remnants, he returns home to Earth – to find out that Lois Lane is engaged to a relative of his boss, and that Lex Luthor is at it again – after swindling an elderly, terminally ill woman. The psychopathic Luthor, whose plans to destroy California failed because of Superman’s heroics, vows vengeance against the Man of Steel and contrives a new sinister plot – using the crystals of Krypton to build a continent that will wipe out most of North America! Embedded in the continent’s structure is Kryptonite – the lethal substance that is Superman’s only weakness. Upon learning of Luthro’s sinister scheme, Superman must again race against time to stop the psychopathic Luthor before millions – possibly billions – are killed. Written by Derek O’Cain”

Trivia: There is a framed photograph of Glenn Ford (Jonathan Kent from the original Superman (1978)) on the piano during the reunion scene at the Kent farm. In a delete scene from Clark’s bedroom, photos of Glenn Ford can be seen. These were created by the graphic design team during the film’s production, as seen in Bryan Singer’s on-line video journal #21 “In Graphic Detail”, and were digitally enhanced to include Eva Marie Saint as Martha and young incarnations of Clark.

Goofs: Factual errors: When the plane is plummeting to earth, Lois Lane is forced to the ceiling of the plane, but her hair and name tag and dangle.
