Returns is a film that I've always loved. It's sad that it didn't resonate more with people like it did for me. It's my second favorite Superman film.

I'm glad you liked it, BatmanFurst. :) People don't discuss this movie much these days, but I know it still has its fans.

It sort of reminded me of this bit from SR.





Sorry, couldn't find a screenshot of Superman zipping past the window.

Anyway. Bryan Singer and other crew members all mentioned "the Return of Superman" (e.g., Reign Of The Supermen) as an influence on the film in some documentary or another.

Good find, colors. The Superman Returns production team were definitely familiar with the Reign of the Supermen arc, having spent years grappling with it during the making of Superman Lives, so I could believe this was a deliberate reference.
