Synopsis:

Part 2 in this new Trilogy takes the Man of Steel to unexpected places - he falls in love - world peace is threatened - and he is poisoned by the creation of his nemesis.


Intentions:

The Superman of Krypton wraps up the best that Superman III & IV had to offer, with scenes featuring the late Brando as Jor-El from the Donner Cut of Superman II. Krypton is referenced several times, which leads in to Superman questioning his origins for Part 3 of the Trilogy. Also Lois Lane has a tough time in this version, which ultimately results in her disappointment of who she once thought was the man of her dreams.


Change List:

Part 2 is a complete reworking of stories from multiple movies, and hence there are re-arrangements throughout the film. Most conversations have been edited to streamline dialogue or remove redundant topics and silly humor. Some subtle special effects have been added in a few scenes, and a custom television news report overdubbed in another scene. The villains are Ross Webster, driven by greed, and Lex Luthor, who is determined to engineer the perfect Kyptonian weapon to destroy Superman. The fate of the villains differs from the Theatrical Releases however, as is necessary to setup for and lead into Part 3.


Additional Notes:

The original idea of Superman playing a part in nuclear disarmament was lame, so I have added more urgency around nuclear weapons, and in particular nuclear terrorism. Quite a bit of news footage has been used to achieve this.
