Yeah, can't say I'm real impressed with the suit.

Plot Synopsis from WB:
"Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world's most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman's bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space."

Thanks for the info. I thought they were making a new sequel a few years back starring Nicholas Cage but I guess plans for that fell through.

If memory serves correctly, that one was supposed to be directed by Tim Burton and was going to be based on the graphic novel "The Death and Life of Superman", but it fell through. Not sure why.
Don't quote me on this, but from what I've heard, this one picks up several years after the events in Superman II. Superman left for a while, but now he's back. I guess they're just pretending that Superman III and IV never happened (which, given the "quality" of those movies, is probably just as well
).

There was one that Tim Burton was pushing for that fell through, but the Nicolas Cage version was another adaptation. The treatment was written and was going to be directed by Kevin Smith. Kevin Spacey was tapped to play Braniac in that version. I find it interesting that Kevin Spacey's back in this one, only as Lex Luthor. He must be a fan.
