You don't even HAVE these questions watching Superman I and II. That's the point. They're their own island, just as Returns is on its own island as well. There is no pregancy, no plans of leaving (so as to Return), no other boyfriend. That is all copyright 2006. Why does any regard NEED to be taken with respect to Returns if making a NEW version of Superman II, other than, it'll make you feel all gooey inside?

For the 100th time: Returns ALREADY "ties in" with the old fucking movies as is. It's done. It's on DVD. Good night. So a cool new version of the old movies or a Superman II hybrid is its own thing-- maybe it ties in, maybe not, who cares? Not to mention the fact that all the Superman movies thus far have pulled stuff outta their ass in terms of "canon", so cinematically Supes has been all one big open field. Have fun, and don't think so much about a fan edit of an already bastardized film having to tie into another bastardized film.
