    Before the massive success of the MCU and the DCEU, the superhero and comic book genre was still trying to find its footing on the big screen. Before Henry Cavill donned the red cape, Brandon Routh played the Man of Steel on the big screen… ever so briefly.
    Superman Returns definitely raises some questions. Like why didn’t Superman tell Lois he was leaving? How did nobody realize that Clark and Superman left and returned on the very same day five years apart? Why did Lex hook up with an old lady, and why he is obsessed with this weird island idea of his? Does kryptonite take away Superman’s powers or not?
    To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Superman Returns!

      In Mark Waid's *Irredeemable*, the Plutonian's (Superman expy) coworkers discover his secret identity, and broadcast it over the radio. He has to beat the signal to the satellites and destroy them, then flies back and tells them they now know the most dangerous secret in the world, and are on every supervillain's most wanted list. Most of them commit suicide within a year.

      Maybe its the version I read aling time ago. But Clarks trying to make Jimmy Olsen feel better about not seeing it sooner and that he his a good photojournalist. He tells him something to the effect of "Superman doesnt wear a mask and is moving very fast most of the time. Hes all over the globe. Everyones looking up in the sky for him. Its on record that he is the last one from his planet. That this alien doesnt need to eat or sleep. Thats hes powerd by the sun flys in space. No ones thinking about looking at their neighbour." Clark then takes a step back from the saftey rail the were leaning on on the roof of the Planet. Stands up straighter takes his glasses off along with his shirt revealing the suit and hovers a few feet above Jimmy in the air. In a different tone of voice "You see how different the two are?" Then he flys off as a siren goes off.
      There was like a side by side of Clark Kent and Superman. Like Jimmys brain doung the comparison. To me it made sense. In that world youre so use to seeing Superman as a hero without a mask youre not thinking he has a secret identity. But incase someone was. Clarks voice, demeanor, posture, hair, clothes. Make such a difference.

      @@TheFinalGate_ Man of Stool had sick fight scenes? You mean where you couldn't actually see what was happening, like a blurry messy Transformers movie? That stupid flying/punching Zod in the sky scene that looks like video game garbage?
      Who would you want Superman to punch in Returns?
      Christopher Reeve didn't punch anyone in 1978 Superman either.
      Name a scene in Man of Stool that compares with the airplane rescue scene in Returns. You can't. Because Man of Stool is garbage.
