I don't want to get into the specifics, because I want to leave as much of what I'm doing as a surprise. But I agree with all of your numbered points, and have already taken care of them. Cutting in scenes from Smallville is an interesting idea. Definitely something I haven't thought of. However, I like the young Clark. Sure, he doesn't have a lot of charisma, but he is a high school kid without much confidence. All that changes when he matures into Superman.
I have cut up the beginning in a few very specific parts. But I like its deliberate pace and I like the serious mood it sets. If I was only worried about time, that would be the obvious place to cut. But I was able to take an hour and half out and leave most of the introduction untouched.
Something I happened to spot in the first movie--
Right after the missiles launch, and the order to abort is given, the guy pushing the button is played by an actor that goes on to play a certain alcoholic mailman on TV...

Just curious what your thoughts were, but I'm sure you've already cut the hell out of the beginning, as it's so damn long.

Did you know he was in Sup2 also? He plays a controller at NASA. *SNIP*
