Well, yeah, but BB is an origin story. While we're at it, Superman: The Movie takes even longer to unveil our hero. The great thing about sequels is you have the opportunity to hit the ground running with established characters. And if you check out Donner and Mankewicz' commentary on the new disc, that's what they think they're doing with the Lois-out-the-window sequence. I like the scene, but it comes too early in the film to do Lois' character arc any good. I'd keep the bit where she doodles glasses on the picture, but cut the jump and wait to use the now-deleted Niagara swim instead.
