He best watch red kryptonite, however...though it can't kill him, it could do what Richard Pryor's 'unknown element' synthetic kryptonite did to him in 'Superman III.' And if you followed Supergirl comics in the 60's-70's, you'd know that an entire chunk of Krypton was hurtled into space after the explosion: Argo City, from which Jor-EL's niece, Kara, rocketed to earth around the time Clark Kent graduated from Metropolis University (he'd just had a romantic fling with Lori Lamaris, a mermaid).
its still bull**it, lois lane the best reporter in the world apparently, can not tell that the man laying in the hospital is clark kent, the man she had worked with for years.
I lasted 20 minutes into that toxic piece of shit and I couldn't believe if it was really that bad. Now I see a semi-cool scene followed by the worst acting in this quadrant, perhaps the entire, universe.
biggest c**k up ever in superman!!! krypton is in a different galaxy to earth and has a red sun, which is why earths yellow sun gives superman his abilities, therefore superman would not be able to even get close to kryptons ruins as its galaxy has a red sun which would make him the same as all the other kryptonians, mortal and have no powers, so he wouldnt even make it there let alone return!!!
@MrStevenarthur - The red sun exploded...that's what destroyed the planet....so it wasn't there any more and he's generally safe and still superpowered from a lifetime of growing up around a yellow sun. The only threat is Kryptonite, whose radiation is caused by the explosion...and in the real deleted scene, we see him being affected by it.
@Fugettaboutit A galaxy has billions and billions of suns (stars). If Superman's home galaxy lost a star every day to supernova (like Krypton's sun), it would take millions of years for all the stars to be gone. I'm sure Krypton's galaxy has many different phases (types) of stars, including red, and yellow, and white, and blue like ours does. His father chose Earth for him because it is a liveable planet WITH a yellow sun. That combination gives him his power.
i actually read the superman returns book version and they said that when he got there it was a wasteland and there were nothing but ghost on that destroyed planet were trying to kill him when he got there. and had to fight his way out of the planet to get back to earth. which would explained why he was soooo out of it when he came back to earth in the film.
@Fugettaboutit Nah watch the scene itself and he was definitely out of it because of what happened on krypton but I don't get this idea as the planet was supposed to be destroyed, it just looks in the scene like the planet was deserted.
@akilddddd - but not the actual Superman of those actual comics. This is the Superman of the Donner movies, who as an infant was safely rocketing away when the Kryptonian sun went boom. So he hasn't had to really endure any supernovae yet.
@71kellyn And in fact, you'll find a lot of videos here under a search for "superman returns deleted krypton scene", and chances are NONE of them are the actual, genuine scene somehow extracted from the real movie's editing archives. I assume you're commenting on all their 'fakeness' as well? ;-)
@Sweeney1988 Not 100% sure...the descriptions say "Deleted Scenes including the never-before-seen original opening to Superman Returns", which could mean the original opening titles sequence with the newspaper graphics only. But Since there's no sequel, you figure they'd include the Krypton stuff if they had it.
@Fugettaboutit It has been confirmed that the Return To Krypton scene is include in the Blu-Ray copy. Steve Yunis from supermanhomepage reviewed the scene this week. Goto superman homepage.com and read it. The plan was to originally include it in a sequel but when Man of Steel started production that added it to this new dvd collection instead.
@Sweeney1988 Sounds good. It's about time it saw the light of day. I just hope it doesn't bring a barrage of 'SR would have been a better movie with it'. there was a lot more help that movie needed than just that extra scene.
@71kellyn yes, there was an actual Krypton scene that was cut. I did not say that this was the actual, genuine scene. But since many basically know what was in it, and there's actual concept art for it, this was a different version of where it could have been placed and timed out. Please read more carefully next time.
this is the essence of bad script writing. not taking into account what was established beforehand. Supes has a fortress where he spent years learning about his destroyed home planet & it's history from a program that simulates his dead father, right? when scientists think they discovered Krypton, Kal-el forgets all that knowledge and hops a spaceship for 5 years to find out for himself...only to learn that there's nothing there, which he already knew. that's just bad writing, man.
Hey Superman you ever heard of a telescope? I hear looking through the eyepiece is easier than traveling lightyears to see if your planet still exists.
What a terrible idea and scene. If the sun exploded and then the planet, there shouldn't be any land mass left. The whole idea and story was one big epic fail. I twisted and turned watching this garbage in the theaters.
hmm.... Clark Kent and Superman are both gone for five years and reappear on the same day. Lois at least must know- she has a superpowered son. Either she remembers their affair or she thinks that Superman molested her at some point.
The film would have benefited from keeping this in. Also, what would VASTLY improve it is if they had kept the subplot of Clark actually believing Lois' article and contemplating whether to continue being Superman or not.
Who's noticed theyve based the Superan Etho's on Jesus???...the'Saviour'...The way he falls to earth in a Cross like figure, Martha and Jonathan, Mary and Joseph....Mary Magdaline OR(M.M)..Lois Lane OR (L.L)....HIS DAD TALKING TO HIM FROM THE SKY!!! c'mon! LOL

@oo77i most superheros are based in some manner on jesus, because jesus is all the ultimate fictional/saviour story. jesus himself was based on similar figures before him with death/ressurection, virgin mother, certain abilities, god-like complex, etc. do some research. funny how santa claus and superman are obviously fictional, but jesus is believed by billions
@oo77i They did...Singer said so himeslf. Even the wound in the side caused by Luthor stabbing him with the kryptonite was a reference to the spear in Jesus's side.
@SchitzzEnGiggles I'm black,didn't see that coming did ya o.O?I have nothing superman in my wardrobe thank you very much.I wear whatever I think apeals to me.I might as well spill the beans for you while I'm at this so;No I've never stolen,murdered,raped,soled drugs or gun slung.I dont I like all fruit not just water melon,unlike anybody else,I think of my health.I like all good music and have never tasted KOOLAID.So your Honor,does that make me above,or below avarage in ur stereotypes list? :)
@oo77i oh no dont worry I didnt mean ALL black people just the ones that have a tendency to give all other black people a stereotype im not an ignorant fudge that judges a whole race because of the few
...see everyone we can all reply without arguing :<
@chiefrstrong - He 'thought...hoped...it would still be there...' You mean, the planet that he knew exploded...and was now thrown out of its orbit/solar system far enough to be somehow observable from Earth? You really took it that literally? Interesting.
Don't know for sure...but however he did it, was he nice enough to share that technology with the rest of the world along the way? Probably not, seeing that in the same movie, they were still using space-shuttle technology. Think of all the world's science, medicine, and technology that could benefit from the advanced info he keeps hidden away to all but the same bald dude who waltzed into his unlocked house before. ;-D
Yeah, were did you go Superman? Because in Superman 2 you learned a harsh lesson that the world needed Superman so it seems odd that the next thing you would do is leave Earth, maybe forever, without saying "goodbye" to anyone. Y'know, left everyone to worry that maybe you were killed or a captive somewhere being tortured. But no, you just left to follow your own little task and why? Because Superman is a dick.
@RichYan33 If you read the book of the movie, which I like to do a lot, it explained that the whole "Astronomers found Krypton" was a planted story..by Lex Luthor. He did it because he knew that Superman would not resist going to check it out and with him gone he could get out of jail and continue his plans. That's why he said "You took away 5 years of my life, I'm just returning the favor" when he was kicking him on Lex's crystal island.
I've heard that before. I think the comic kept that stuff. But that doesn't make any sense either. Jor El says the crystals that make up the Fortress have the knowledge of the 28 known galaxies so I would think the location of Krypton would have been in there somewhere. And Jor El says he'll have been dead many 1000s of years so if baby Kal El's trip took that long how did Superman go out and back in 5 years? How? Superman is keeping interstellar travel all to himself. Because he's a dick.
@RichYan33 The crystals having the location of Krypton would explain how Luthor leaked it to the press to lure Superman away.Jor-El's statement of being dead many 1000's of earth years doesn't necessarily mean there was any kind of a "time dialation delay" but could simply be that Kryptons years are much shorter than earths, or a combination of the two. It took him 3 years to get to earth from Krypton and 2.5 each way so maybe his new ship was a little faster than the one he used as a child.
@RichYan33 Here's one possible explination for the difference b/t the two ships. The first was a modified lifepod, sublight speeds. The second is an FTL capable starship, the plans in the memory archives at the Fortress of Solitude. I haven't seen the movie (and yes, you all will say "shaddap and see it first," but that is the first thing that comes to mind.
Considering what's going on in the world right now, which government would you trust with FTL techknowledgy?
@RichYan33 First superman movie where he messes w/timeline anyway 'cause he can't let Lois stay dead includes something about him being FORBIDDEN from messing w/human timeline, so that's likely some basis for "what goes on in the Fortress, stays in the Fortress" as far as E.T. stuff he learns about. Plus, human beings lack the moral depth at this stage to be entrusted with that. They'd spread their wars to the galaxy, cannibalize aliens with the rationale that they taste like chicken, et. al.
I liked Singer's concept but I quite disagreed when the movie kicked off with an intro where you had to read.. it'd be better to tell it in visual with narration. Superman Returns Rating: (*****)!
Argo City is New Krypton in space, astronomers were certain, superman had to follow a voyage the 2 years distance light, in the Southeast sector of the kryptonian space, it go to find Argo City, in fact.
Argo City is New Krypton in space, astronomers were certain, superman had to follow a voyage the 2 years distance light, in the Southeast sector of the kryptonian space, it go to find Argo City, in fact.
@tjatawol Yes, now that's a HOT Lois Lane and one you can see Superman going for and falling in love with. She's gorgeous, tough, loyal, has her vices but her attitude and character give her more reasons to be worthy of Superman than the way she's portrayed in this movie or most other times I'd say.
yea another major plothole is that Jor-el says in the original Superman movie that it takes many thousand earth years for the ride from Krypton to earth so by the time Kal-EL makes it to earth since he was going past light speed a few Thousand years passed, and if this is the case why was everyone the same age in SR when he got back? Hell they were younger looking! And how did Superman find the tech to make the round trip in 5 years now?
@SkywatchersRadioTV And to finish off my post here where did he find that tech? Oh, and why would he go to see if there were any survivors to something that happened what thousands of years ago? Makes no sense! The movie was full of plotholes, and it's because the writers sucked, and the director was a hack.
Biggest problem here is that NOTHING was left of Krypton but scattered rocks. Watch the original and you'll see the sun and Krypton completely explode into a bazillion pieces. There were no big mountainous pieces left over for him to fly by.
@MasterJediDude Not true. When I first saw it on the big screen I noticed a large intact piece of Krypton fly by after the explosion. The part that house the dome bit. It's hard to see on the small screen.
@alexrogers411 Yeah, he could kick his shoes off & walk barefoot through an active volcano & not even break a sweat, unless there's an unplanned for shard of kryptonite he runs across, then that fire would hurt like Hell & he'd be sweating like some preachers. But no guy w/an ounce of morality & modesty wants his genitalia posted all over the New York Times, Washington Post, tabloids, 60 Minutes, Inside Edition, etc. w/captions about the anatomy of an alien or how does your hubby compare??? etc.
The man went to the other side of the universe to see what was left of his planet and race and Lois still has an attitude cuz she took it personally that he left to see for himself to find closure.
Eh, I still think Supes would have more sense than to travel millions of miles through space just to see 'shards' of his home planet. I just don't think he'd do it. Especially since it would mean leaving Earth for so many years. There would have to be another reason (for me anyway). Still, the concept is interesting. More interesting than the crazy Luthor plotline in the final film. SR just doesn't work IMHO. And BTW, keep Nolan AWAY from the franchise!!!!
@ChildofBrando Thank you. Someone else who see's Nolan as a bad thing for Supes. I too want nothing to come of his 'great idea' for a Superman film. Unfortunately the monkeys at Warner Bros think he is the Golden Goose and as such will likely throw money at anything he craps into a toilet.
@fyoukim1 Thanks bro! There really should be an Anti-Nolan petition to get him off the franchise. Besides being the most over-rated filmmaker of our time, I also think his approach is just WRONG for Superman. Singer tried the dark and gritty thing and we saw how brilliantly that turned out! I'm as progressive as they come, but what we need is (dare I say) a TRADITIONAL Superman film! To hell with dark and gritty. Even Frank Miller has disowned that approach, hence The Dark Knight Strkes Again!
@3augusta Sigh....Batman is meant to be dark. He's meant to be an instrument of justice and vengeance and all that anti hero stuff. Superman...there's a reason he's dressed in primary colors with a big red cape. He's meant to be a symbol of justice and hope. When you look up in the sky he wants you to see him and have hope that somehow, someway things are just a little be better and that the impossible can happen. Superman in no way needs to be "darker".
I have heard alot of this infamous missing 'Krypton Sequence' was shot with completed effects work that exists on some hard-drive somewhere. IMHO, Superman Returns would benefit from a major recut, perhaps utilising some of this missing footage. I would love to take a crack it.
Of course, when I say 'what was left', I'm talking about the movie, not Krypton. This little deleted scene was more interesting than the entire theatrical release.
What I don't understand is, if Superman thought Krypton still exhisted, how would that explain Kryptonite? Maybe I'm missing something, but that seems like a pretty big plothole.
Probably wanted to see if there was anything left salvaging of his true heritage. I don't think he expected it to still be there intact or even functional.
Ironically, the 'return to Krypton' scene was what I was looking forward to most about SR. What was left, IMHO, was a total boring mess. Another plothole seems to be the crystals. I mean, I always assumed the green crystal that made the Fortress in S:TM was a special crystal, with micro-infrastructural DNA. In Singer's version, all crystals expand when they come in concact with water. Seems silly, I mean Superman would have to be VERY careful never to get his crystals wet!
@Fugettaboutit No such luck. It clearly says in the scene "I thought... hoped... it would still be there." It's stupid anyway. His eyes could see as far as any astronomer. He could have just looked for it from earth.
When he heard that Krypton might still exist, then he also questioned the origins of kryptonite. Were they really fragments from his home planet? Besides we have fragments from Mars and Mars still exists.
The Planet still exploded. And shards of the planet spread across the Universe. The point of Superman Returns was that Scientists I guess found the Exact place were it went bang , are something like that , so Superman went too see if any Krytoniansor anything still left in the system. At least that what I got. Would'a been cool to see in the movie.
@jayce79 I know. I try to see what Singer tried to do, at the end he could have taken other sources, e.g. the comics, to give the story more depth. For example: what if Superman had some device that could detect lifeforms near from Krypton's destruction, and he may had found Supergirl? How about Brainiac? So many good options to give this movie a fresh start-up. I read Last Son the other day, there is a Kryptonian kid as in SR. He was Zod's.
Well , in my opinion as a movie watcher , some of those little deleted scenes as well as the whole alternate begining with Krypton could of been just been the plot filler's & Razzle-Dazzle that would'a really helped the film .
No...it was a complete scene...he eventually cut it because it took up too much screentime and was a slow and gloomy way to start off an already somber movie. After some early test screenings, it was clear to him that the viewing experience as a whole would benefit without it, so he did the right thing and cut it from the final release, even though a lot of money and effort went into it. It happens with a lot of movies, this one just got a lot of attention for it somehow.
These are scenes that were in the novel version of the movie so it was good to see them. He actually got into some serious trouble as the Kryptonite that was all around the remains of Krypton began to impact against his ship and deteriorate it. The ship was self repairing but the Kryptonite was interfering with the regeneration process. He had to get out of there fast otherwise he would have lost atmosphere and died. Being away from earths sun so long he lost all his powers.
That scene actually worked for me. That whole film was dark and awkward for a superman film. I didn't feel uplifted at the end. But that scene fleshed out an incredibly dull and lackluster scene between superman and Lois. Konichiwa bitches.
no these are actual still shots made by Singer meant to be in the movie. He released shots, and has admitted that an unedited version of the krypton scene is on youtube...originally the scene was supposed to take place in the beginning but he changed his mind to have the scene when he's intervied by Lois.
Folks...Supes was not intended to be naked. For the actual filming, he had a very tight form-fitting silver/gray bodysuit. In the concept art used in this video, they used a simple 3D human rendering for framing purposes...the digital equivalent of a mannequin that they didn't bother to dress up because it wasn't important to the purposes of the concept art's designs.
Superman was NOT naked in the beginning of Superman Returns. Look close or get your eyes fixed. He was wearing a GRAY skin-tight suit with a GRAY "S" on his chest. (No Cape, underwear or belt" Just a gray suit with a gray S.
Eh I already answered that, he isnt naked hes wearing an alternate grey/beige coloured suit. You can see him wear it in the movie when Earth mother looks at the wreckage when his ship crashlands on earth. I also agreed that it looked a little unusual.
He best watch red kryptonite, however...though it can't kill him, it could do what Richard Pryor's 'unknown element' synthetic kryptonite did to him in 'Superman III.' And if you followed Supergirl comics in the 60's-70's, you'd know that an entire chunk of Krypton was hurtled into space after the explosion: Argo City, from which Jor-EL's niece, Kara, rocketed to earth around the time Clark Kent graduated from Metropolis University (he'd just had a romantic fling with Lori Lamaris, a mermaid).

@oo77i most superheros are based in some manner on jesus, because jesus is all the ultimate fictional/saviour story. jesus himself was based on similar figures before him with death/ressurection, virgin mother, certain abilities, god-like complex, etc. do some research. funny how santa claus and superman are obviously fictional, but jesus is believed by billions

Don't know for sure...but however he did it, was he nice enough to share that technology with the rest of the world along the way? Probably not, seeing that in the same movie, they were still using space-shuttle technology. Think of all the world's science, medicine, and technology that could benefit from the advanced info he keeps hidden away to all but the same bald dude who waltzed into his unlocked house before. ;-D

Yeah, were did you go Superman? Because in Superman 2 you learned a harsh lesson that the world needed Superman so it seems odd that the next thing you would do is leave Earth, maybe forever, without saying "goodbye" to anyone. Y'know, left everyone to worry that maybe you were killed or a captive somewhere being tortured. But no, you just left to follow your own little task and why? Because Superman is a dick.
RichYan33 1 year ago
@RichYan33 If you read the book of the movie, which I like to do a lot, it explained that the whole "Astronomers found Krypton" was a planted story..by Lex Luthor. He did it because he knew that Superman would not resist going to check it out and with him gone he could get out of jail and continue his plans. That's why he said "You took away 5 years of my life, I'm just returning the favor" when he was kicking him on Lex's crystal island.
JediMasterRich 1 year ago
I've heard that before. I think the comic kept that stuff. But that doesn't make any sense either. Jor El says the crystals that make up the Fortress have the knowledge of the 28 known galaxies so I would think the location of Krypton would have been in there somewhere. And Jor El says he'll have been dead many 1000s of years so if baby Kal El's trip took that long how did Superman go out and back in 5 years? How? Superman is keeping interstellar travel all to himself. Because he's a dick.
RichYan33 1 year ago
@RichYan33 The crystals having the location of Krypton would explain how Luthor leaked it to the press to lure Superman away.Jor-El's statement of being dead many 1000's of earth years doesn't necessarily mean there was any kind of a "time dialation delay" but could simply be that Kryptons years are much shorter than earths, or a combination of the two. It took him 3 years to get to earth from Krypton and 2.5 each way so maybe his new ship was a little faster than the one he used as a child.
JediMasterRich 1 year ago
@RichYan33 Here's one possible explination for the difference b/t the two ships. The first was a modified lifepod, sublight speeds. The second is an FTL capable starship, the plans in the memory archives at the Fortress of Solitude. I haven't seen the movie (and yes, you all will say "shaddap and see it first," but that is the first thing that comes to mind.
Considering what's going on in the world right now, which government would you trust with FTL techknowledgy?
cabbievonbump 1 year ago
@RichYan33 First superman movie where he messes w/timeline anyway 'cause he can't let Lois stay dead includes something about him being FORBIDDEN from messing w/human timeline, so that's likely some basis for "what goes on in the Fortress, stays in the Fortress" as far as E.T. stuff he learns about. Plus, human beings lack the moral depth at this stage to be entrusted with that. They'd spread their wars to the galaxy, cannibalize aliens with the rationale that they taste like chicken, et. al.

yea another major plothole is that Jor-el says in the original Superman movie that it takes many thousand earth years for the ride from Krypton to earth so by the time Kal-EL makes it to earth since he was going past light speed a few Thousand years passed, and if this is the case why was everyone the same age in SR when he got back? Hell they were younger looking! And how did Superman find the tech to make the round trip in 5 years now?

@SkywatchersRadioTV And to finish off my post here where did he find that tech? Oh, and why would he go to see if there were any survivors to something that happened what thousands of years ago?

Eh, I still think Supes would have more sense than to travel millions of miles through space just to see 'shards' of his home planet. I just don't think he'd do it. Especially since it would mean leaving Earth for so many years. There would have to be another reason (for me anyway). Still, the concept is interesting. More interesting than the crazy Luthor plotline in the final film. SR just doesn't work IMHO. And BTW, keep Nolan AWAY from the franchise!!!!

@ChildofBrando Thank you. Someone else who see's Nolan as a bad thing for Supes. I too want nothing to come of his 'great idea' for a Superman film. Unfortunately the monkeys at Warner Bros think he is the Golden Goose and as such will likely throw money at anything he craps into a toilet.
fyoukim1 1 year ago
@fyoukim1 Thanks bro! There really should be an Anti-Nolan petition to get him off the franchise. Besides being the most over-rated filmmaker of our time, I also think his approach is just WRONG for Superman. Singer tried the dark and gritty thing and we saw how brilliantly that turned out! I'm as progressive as they come, but what we need is (dare I say) a TRADITIONAL Superman film! To hell with dark and gritty. Even Frank Miller has disowned that approach, hence The Dark Knight Strkes Again!

Fugettaboutit 2 years ago 3
Ironically, the 'return to Krypton' scene was what I was looking forward to most about SR. What was left, IMHO, was a total boring mess. Another plothole seems to be the crystals. I mean, I always assumed the green crystal that made the Fortress in S:TM was a special crystal, with micro-infrastructural DNA. In Singer's version, all crystals expand when they come in concact with water. Seems silly, I mean Superman would have to be VERY careful never to get his crystals wet!
ChildofBrando 2 years ago
@Fugettaboutit No such luck. It clearly says in the scene "I thought... hoped... it would still be there." It's stupid anyway. His eyes could see as far as any astronomer. He could have just looked for it from earth.

The Planet still exploded. And shards of the planet spread across the Universe.

At least that what I got. Would'a been cool to see in the movie.
jayce79 1 year ago
@jayce79 I know. I try to see what Singer tried to do, at the end he could have taken other sources, e.g. the comics, to give the story more depth. For example: what if Superman had some device that could detect lifeforms near from Krypton's destruction, and he may had found Supergirl? How about Brainiac? So many good options to give this movie a fresh start-up. I read Last Son the other day, there is a Kryptonian kid as in SR. He was Zod's.

No...it was a complete scene...he eventually cut it because it took up too much screentime and was a slow and gloomy way to start off an already somber movie. After some early test screenings, it was clear to him that the viewing experience as a whole would benefit without it, so he did the right thing and cut it from the final release, even though a lot of money and effort went into it. It happens with a lot of movies, this one just got a lot of attention for it somehow.

These are scenes that were in the novel version of the movie so it was good to see them. He actually got into some serious trouble as the Kryptonite that was all around the remains of Krypton began to impact against his ship and deteriorate it. The ship was self repairing but the Kryptonite was interfering with the regeneration process. He had to get out of there fast otherwise he would have lost atmosphere and died. Being away from earths sun so long he lost all his powers.

Folks...Supes was not intended to be naked. For the actual filming, he had a very tight form-fitting silver/gray bodysuit.
