It's already on the drawing board, folks. Plus more great stuff.

Good to see you're "on the case," ADM. I would also like to point out I am a frequent lurker at the Superman Cinema Boards (although I've never joined) and I see you've expanded over to that forum. That place certainly has a lot of character, no?

Without responing to anyone in particular, there are a few things to consider before setting out on a "Superman II: Ultimate Edition." What I would like to see happen is while also making it a respectful sequel to S:TM, I'd also like to see it be able to tie into Superman Returns. Unfortunately Bryan Singer played fast and loose with the continuity, with things like Lex knowing about the Fortress and Lois' son assumably tieing-in to Superman II, but not quite. For example, when Lex activates the Fortress Kitty even comments on how he "acts like he's been there before." Yes, in Superman II. However when the Jor-El recording begins, Lex is apparently surprised that the hologram "thinks [I'm] his son." This is inconsistent, obviously. Then there is Jason White. We can all assume he was conceived in Superman II, as that is when Clark and Lois were intimate. However Singer seems to imply this occured in S:TM with the mention of the "I Spent The Night With Superman" article. That implication aside, assuming Jason was indeed conceived in SII, then wouldn't Lois have no idea why she is pregnant (seeing that Clark erased her memory)?

Ironically, this apparent inconsistency finally allowed me to come to terms with the "Superkiss" which I for so long thought was ridiculous. The way I see it now is that the Superkiss only erased Lois' memory of Superman=Clark Kent. We don't know how that powers works, so who are we to say that's not what happened? Don't ask me to explain it, but it is the only way to reconcile these inconsistencies.

Also, if possible, I think it would be great to include the green "master crystal" from I and II in SR. This could be achieved by coloring the crystal Lex uses green, and in fact would make the plot make more sense as that was the only crystal with the power to create land anyway. The rest were merely data crystals. I think it's a shame that Singer decided to do away with it because today's audiences aren't intelligent enough to tell the difference between that and Kryptonite.
