Go with me on this one, folks:
If I remember correctly, Bryan Singer stated during production of the film that “Superman Returns” continues the continuity of “Superman” and “Superman II.”
In “Superman II,” Lois Lane and Supes do the nasty (for the first and only time) after he uses a Kryptonian machine that strips him of his powers. At the end of that movie, he uses the machine to get his powers back and defeat General Zod. He also erases Lois Lane’s memory of his secret identity and their intimate encounter by kissing her. (Yeah, weird…)
In “Superman Returns,” when the super-kid kills that henchman with the piano, Lois realized without a doubt that he was the son of Superman. But if you remember, Superman erased her memory of the kid’s conception! Shouldn’t she have been wondering how his super-sperm knocked her up?
The movie tries to play it off by referencing Lois’ article titled “My Night With Superman.” But if you remember from Superman I, that article was about Lois’ first interview with him, not some steamy sexual rendezvous.
So, what I want to know is, how come Lois didn’t cry “Rape!” And how come the writers didn’t catch this plot hole?
The article is great. XD
Yeah, I think this is your best.
Thanks! As much as I’d like to be lenient on SR since I’m a big Superman fan, I also want to punch the writers in the face with my foot for ignoring this plot hole. Though, I do praise them for X2.
and CURSE THEM for X3
Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris didn’t write X3.
I think the writing on X2 wasn’t as good as the writing on the first X-Men movie. Too much action, not enough story, I think. No X-Men scene has ever been as powerful as the opening concentration camp scene from the first movie and no line will ever be as poignant as when Wolverine told Rogue how it hurts every time he ejects his claws.
My opinion anyway.
I completely disagree. X2 was just as poignant while increasing the action. Anyway, this is a Superman strip, not X-men. We’ll throw an X-men parody your way sometime soon.
I meant curse them for not writing X3 and jumping ship with Mr Singer for Superman Returns!
Also, this movie and this comic just make me think of the Superman sex story from Mall Rats
