Idea: 'Superman Returns - Not the Baby's Daddy' Edition?

I loved Superman Returns, but I hated the subplot that he (predictably) turns out to have a super baby (the boy of aluminum?).

Would anyone be interested in creating an edit of the movie such that he’s not a father? Say, perhaps he THINKS he is, but it was just a mistake?

That would be cool I think, and considering some of the other more creative edits that have been done with movies, it doesn’t seem like that unreasonable of a request…

Consider it a “challenge”?

I would personally love to see that edit. The last 20 minutes may prover to be problematic, though.
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

Yeah, that would be great. I hate that they had Superman and Lois sleep together in Superman II. It's just not Superman. This edit would allow for that to be fixed up.

But even beyond that, now that they've made him Superman's kid, they have to deal with him in future Superman movies. I don't usually have a problem with kids in movies, but we've now had five Superman movies starting with Reeve, and only one villain from the comic books. I would've rather had seen him fight Brainiac and Metallo...even Darkseid (mwahaha) before dealing with a kid. The only thing good I can see coming from the fact that Superman's got a son is that this is now potential to have a version of the Death and Return of Superman, with the son becoming Superboy...maybe? Ehh...

Yeah, it could be tough, but if it's doable, then that would be awesome.

I agree on the sleeping together thing. Its not like Superman.
But wasn't General Zod in the comics? I know he is now, but wasn't he in the comics before too? Maybe not, but I thought he was.
I've heard that Superman III was originally going to have Brainiac instead of the "ultimate computer" why couldn't they of done that?
But anyway, good luck with this edit. 'Superkid' really did alot to ruin Superman Returns for me, and having him not be superman's kid would be great.

I don't think he was in the comics, but I could be wrong. Zod and his posse are super-powered villains, so it's good. Nuclear Man...well, ADM did a pretty good job with him... I was toying with the thought of making a Superman III edit, and I would've tried to get someone to make it so that when the supercomputer boots up, you see something with the word "Brainiac" in it, and/or possibly the Brainiac logo (was that only on Superman:TAS? I'm not well-versed in the comics). It wouldn't be full out awesomeness, but it would be cool just to have that indication.

And if this edit works, then we're gonna need a "Superman II: The Real Boy Scout Edition" to match with it. That would be great.

Zod was in the comics.
