Here's the full film concept

*The film begins much like Superman II TDC, advising viewers that this is a continuation of another fan-edit they may want to see, and plot points wil be guiding this one along, and that the quality of the deleted scenes used may vary

* Black and white scenes of Clark uncovering the energy module in the hut, Lara's message of this being her "last gift to you" and "using it wisely", cut to Clark baseballing the bat, and the Brando impersonator from the deleted scene's narration, Krypton explodes.

* Donner-like credits, same with Smallville Cut

*Film procedes as normal, Jeremy writes Superman the letter, Superman visits him (again, using the scenes deleted) and turns him down.

*Cut back to the Daily Planet, and we use the newspaper headline of Luthor being arrested, Lois remarking that "this time he's gone too far" at that rather than Warfield exploting Superman's refusal.

*In the secondary Fourtress, Superman asks an elder of how the Earth will suffer the same fate of Krypton. The Elder will be the one from Lester's Superman II, dubbed over with dialouge from the Elder of IV.

*Clark broods in his apartment, the conflicted thoughts being Brando's "you must never interfere" and Glen Ford's "you are here for a reason" echo in his head, then Lois arrives, and immediatly he shifts his priorities to selfishly risking his identity and revealing it to her again. Scene proceeds as normal, Lois tells Clark to go with his gut

*Superman flys into action and prevents the firing of military missiles (scenes from Superman III) and the gigantic missile from the third film almost knocks him out cold

*More footage, from IV, showing Superman on a vigiliante style mission, taking whatever is fired and hurtling them into the sun BEFORE he holds the press confrence and fully makes his intentions clear. Cut out is the ovation he gets

*We return to the "Luthor is captured" newspaper headline, and this time we see the full scene, he raids the museum with Lenny, and they create Nuclear Man. Using a combination of deleted scenes, I can make it very reallistic and more beleivable. No "heart of the sun nonsense"

*Film proceeds as normal, Superman is called away from his double-date to Lex's apartment, faces Nuclear Man, gets infected, gets kicked to the curb. Nuclear Man returns to Lex's base and lights up his ciggerette in an empowering scene of double triumph. Lois scolds the Warfields for buying the cape cheap.

*Clark flys back to the fourtress and is forced to take the risk of healing himself in the red sun chamber,. But this time it does'nt strip his powers, but seemingly has an opposite effect, and cures him of the cancerous illness he has. Lara sacrfices herself just as Jor-El did. (Nuclear Man is an opposite of Superman, and the infection Clark received means there are two distinct Kryptonian energies surrounding his body, when the chamber is destroyed eliminating one, one energy is retained, Clark's very own)

*Nuclear Man becomes infatuated with Lacy, abducts her, and takes her to Lex's apartment. Deleted scene continues as normal. Superman confronts Nuclear Man in the city promising Lacy, battle takes to space.

*Film resumes as normal. Ends much like "redeemed" did, Superman eclipses the sun, and Nuclear Man is shut down before he reaches Earth again

*My intended ending for Luthor is still there, plotting with the Russians over Nuclear energy
