I think that Jor El has surivived in some crystlas, as seen in SUPERMAN RETURNS, but not in an interactive way. Not the kind that saved him in the Donner Cut, at least. Anyway, apart from not wanting to see the Fortress destroyed in ANY fan-edit, I would be in favor of a fan edit that combined the two. Provided of course, the main movie remains the Donner Cut.

Because I think there is material in Lester Cut and Superman III and IV, to make one wholly different picture. What if we somehow used the Eiffel tower scenes of SUPERMAN II, and the Evil Superman scenes form SUPERMAN III, along with the rescue of that power plant in SUPERMAN III (you know, where Jimmy Olsen gets hurt - I haven't seen the movie for quite a while, sorry), and integrated them into a new SUPERMAN IV, on which we would also use the film's deleted scenes. My intent here, is to create the ultimate SUPERMAN III, which could partially, in SR retrospect, explain his leaving. Wouldn't it be great to use the above elements and create one better film? I mean, SUPERMAN IV would need work on its own - CGI to improved some of the film's devastating SFX, and some clever storyline to combine them all.

Anyway, what do you think of this admitedly crazy idea?

Well?
