Superman Returns (2006) Deleted, Extended & Alternative Scenes #1

[@BraxtonWages]

I want to see to original cut to this film and many others do too. This film needed something like this. I love the fact that there is no speaking in this and it’s just all visual.

[@FACEBOOK6250]

Totally agree with you, they should've kept most of these deleted scene's in the final cut. 👍

[@Lidimont]

This scene really explains the movie title Superman Returns!

[@janalifkreshna9559]

they shouldve left this scene in the movie.. it gives alien impression to the movie..

[@bitaeverythin]

glad to see the original "star" shape for the vessel!!

[@Beastinvader]

I understand why they removed this scene, but it also adds a layer of depth. Just like Krypton was corrupted with kryptonite, so Luther will establish a new corrupted Krypton. Whereas he was too weak to face the Kryptonite on his home world - or save his home world from it - at the end he saves earth by powerfully defying the kryptonite island.

[@BigMac8000]

This would've been my favorite scene in the movie.

[@davidawilliams252]

This scene also explains what Bill Shatner was saying about space: vast, desolate and death-like. The isolation is palpable. And light doesn't bounce off anything unless there are gases nearby and a planet has an atmosphere. The lighting is appropriately almost flat. The light reflects off of our moon but it is still flat.

[@andrewr880]

If the film had been more of this with something for Spacey's Luthor to do, it would of been pretty damn cool. What a shame

[@athansky25]

💎 The HOUSE of JOR-EL symbol was discovered by Kal-EL but repulsed by Green Kryptonite. This scene could have been included as a flashback during conversation with his Mom Martha Kent, saying it's practically dead planet. 💎

[@pHD77]

I get why it ended up on the cutting room floor. It would totally have ruined the pacing of the movie.

[@mutton_man]

That was a cool scene.

[@davidawilliams252]

This scene is so dynamic. It is very soulful. No music...like in parts of 2001. And the whale sounds and water sounds give an impression that the ship is alive or at least responds to Kal-El with a type of A.I. that no one understands...not even the film writers (lol). This scene also debunks Lex Luthor waltzing into the Fortress of Solitude and commanding the crystals to form from the command platform. These crystals are tied to Kryptonian DNA and brain patterns...specifically Kal-El's...the Star Child. There is NO WAY that Jor-El would not have thought of this so as to protect Kryptonian technology from falling into the wrong hands. Superman Returns falls apart for me at that part, and never attempts to redeem itself, with a Superman that was too slow and stupid (or maybe he was just dumbfounded at what he say and heard) Anyway, this should have been the scene that they kept. It explains a lot with less! It only needed to be fleshed out a wee bit more and this would have made the movie come alive in ways that dialogue and music could not. And it quite describes Krypton as it once was...majestic, incredibly technologically advanced and fundamentally ALIEN. And the "sounds" of silence compound the feeling of loneliness and possibly...for the first time in his life...real despair...at the realization that he is truly alone (before he discovered Kandor or Supergirl---a joke to me at least).

[@Nozverah2]

Davida Williams Luthor walked into the fortress in the original first 2 Superman movies. I don't think he would've been able to operate the control console but he could definitely walk right in & maybe steal a crystal or 2.

[@davidawilliams252]

@@Nozverah2 trueness. But I am attempting to understand why he was able to in THIS movie, given that this was supposed to be a reboot.

[@GT_rising24]

Lex Luthor has plot Armor 😂

[@davidawilliams252]

@@GT_rising24 😄😄😄 true and this movie has plot worm holes.

[@welikefood]

Well now it's clear why his "returning"

[@jeremydewitte5952]

it was obvious in the film anyway

[@colliric]

What I would have done: He arrives to Krypton looking for survivors, only to discover from the Kryptonian data-banks he wasn't the only one to escape to earth. He comes back to earth to search for the mysterious other Kryptonian, only for the plot with Luthor to play out first. (And of cause we introduce Supergirl in the sequel). I think that's what Singer should have teased in this scene. As well as some sort of Villain tease too.

[@kyiwintun4253]

I would have loved to see Brainiac. It was such a waste of Routh's talent, and time.

[@srikanthramprasad565]

Guess that explains why the ship crashed landed and Ma Kent found her adoptive son so weak and exhausted.

[@CameornMatlock-sw5bc]

Exactly

[@davidawilliams252]

Supposedly, accorsing to what Jor-El said in the first movie (1978), Krypton was 28 galaxies away. Fasinating.

[@peacefulsuperman8302]

This deleted scene isn't even in the special features of the bluray release.

[@MrHEC381991]

Really? That's a bummer.

[@edbeasant9494]

It's on the box set bluray

[@UpClosewithLawrence]

Bryan Singer shouldn’t have deleted this scene. This explains the movie title.

[@md.abdurrouf3491]

The dark place and graveyard , and the sound was very creepy and scary 🙄😨😨😨

[@elzodrekmastat8507]

this scene sounds creapy

[@matthewmackenzie5773]

So this explains the white suit in the game i guess

[@jprojas2557]

What a big mistake they should’ve never deleted this title scene

[@jgarrison1309]

This should have been the first scene of the movie, with actors credits in the corner, like a television show.

[@dbreiden83080]

And skip over the epic John Williams score with the flashing titles. No thank you.

[@TheTodd5761]

@@dbreiden83080 i think the title sequence shouldve followed this scene. Instead of the pan down to the farm it couldve started right there 🤷‍♂️

[@colliric]

@@TheTodd5761 Yes that was the intention.

[@quiettornado1970]

U would think they'd invent landing gears.

[@vanceamania]

This was really a great scene. On its own or with the film, just so moving. Inspiring

[@perseusshrestha7503]

They could use this scene to get the attention of Brainiac who follows kal to earth n the battle begins along with supe's return story. But something else happened n it was boring.

[@Otaku_shogun69]

That's a smart idea

[@prettyboy1970]

Kool. This scene explains why Kal-El's ship crash-landed when returning to Earth.

[@Barbaroja24]

this scene would be great for the movie

[@jhonnathansangalang7172]

cool superman.

[@Dagarar]

Tarkovsky's Superman

[@manulghost]

The game have this costume of superman

[@matthewmackenzie5773]

I need confirmation that Will Smith was offered that role. No way

[@dariosatriano2104]

he had already turned down the role of Neo in "The Matrix"; another one wasn't a problem :)

[@Knight121198]

Dont mind me im just going to Krypton, a place thats known to have created one of my greatest weaknesses, no why would i need a radiation shielded ship or suit, thats just crazy talk!

[@BernyjackStone]

2001 a superman odyssey

[@blacksuit5614]

That is Cool.

[@matthewmackenzie5773]

Just googled it. Saw photoshopped pics of him in the suit Shit will actually kinda looked dope He got to be hancock anyway. Close enough right ahhh

[@Vero-nica12Andrea]

Que hermoso esta Brandon en esta escena tan genial

[@carlosespondabascunan1277]

They should have left this scene in the movie because it explains much better how superman returns to Earth

[@dobi287]

Should've kept this in the film

[@DarthDJJD]

Does not make sense. Krypton was totally destroyed. It would not be in ruins. It would be like Alderan in Star Wars.

[@th3gov3rnm3nt]

If tou look at the title sequence krypton was destroyed but peices small in a fractured off. They may be small in terms of a planet but since we dont know how big krypton could be they could be as large as citys or small countries.

[@kidsmolina4031]

this scene kinda reminds me of Aliens

[@thisisnotthebestwarmachine978]

Prettt sure it’s supposed to give off that vibe, since he’s an alien and other people said that too

[@nasser674]

Ya it’s kind of remind me in star trek

[@davidawilliams252]

And now it reminds me of Prometheus. And 2001. Only water and what sounds like whale song.

[@FACEBOOK6250]

I thought that the entire planet exploded in the original 1st Movie, after they sent clark to 🌎. Seems good that the bubble that was on Krypton has gone not the planet. They should've kept most of the deleted scenes in the final cut.

[@filipmurzea9211]

Superman 2 known pilot attempts both end in crash landing, come to think of it hes never landed any craft probably doesn't know how, just like Admiral Benson

[@johnmartyp2630]

it looks like from video games

[@DAVIDGARCIA-yu6xc]

Así se ve un Planeta que explota

[@certainly2509]

Why would they delete this scene? It's fantastic!

[@mustafaullah67]

God this scene was sooo sloooowww, but the movie was alright

[@lithium23]

doesn't make sense that kryptonite existed there as technically "kryptonite" is just any part of Krypton irradiated by the yellow sun. Since he isn't near a yellow sun it wouldn't have any ill effects on him.

[@fabiorobertohallhall2467]

Vaz sena Tam linda beautiful depois cortar ,este Superman melhor filme que atualmente , este gente não cansa de assistir

[@randaljbatty]

There was no substantial reason for Kal EL to somehow obtain a Kyrptonian-type ship -- seemingly out of nowhere -- to investigate the area where the planet Krypton was destroyed -- seemingly caused from the explosion of their red sun (if you saw the first Superman film). If the red sun had indeed exploded, there would be nothing left of Krypton except some molecules and gas. This would include the destruction of Kryptonite, an odd element that apparently existed inside the planet. Like everything else out of which the planet was comprised, Kryptonite should have been vaporized along with everything else. In reality there should be nothing left of Krypton, literally nothing. The fact that Kal El could take a ship and zoom around the debris is absurd. Okay, maybe he (Superman) had no way of knowing nothing was left -- although he could have surmised as much and was curious, but this seems dubious as best. A lot of time could have been used by skipping this rather lame excuse for his absence and concentrate on more intriguing matters.

[@colliric]

He had repurposed the ship that initially took him to earth as an infant. Problem is this scene doesn't tease anything. I would have had him go back to look for other survivors and tease his return to Earth in search of Supergirl.

[@randaljbatty]

@@colliric Kal would not know anything about Supergirl, as he was sent to Earth as an infant. Would any "survivors" of Krypton still be hanging around a bunch of debris? No, Superman returning to the vicinity of Krypton really makes no sense. It's a nonsensical way to have him missing for a period of years. They could have come up with a better reason for his absence.

[@colliric]

@@randaljbatty That's my point. I would have had him go back there to access the Kryptonian data-banks in search of other survivors. Instead of scientists discovering Kryptonian debris, it should have been a strange Kryptonian radio signal instead(a warning to the Kryptonian outposts that the planet had been destroyed). Indicating the data banks survived the destruction. I would have him discover he wasn't the only Kyptonian that escaped to earth. Although fans would immediately know that it's Supergirl, I would not reveal that until the next film. After defeating Luthor, he departs at the end of this film to search for the other Kryptonian. That's my main issue with this scene, it doesn't tease anything at all. Like the first movie with General Zod, it should have been the sequel hook sequence. I would have loved for it to have teased Supergirl, and also retcon that crappy previous Supergirl film from the 80s.

[@randaljbatty]

​@@colliric We agree. Superman needed some greater motivation to travel back to the remainants of Krypton than mere curiosity. By making this visit, he forfeited -- what -- five years of life with his mother, with Lois. The motivation needed to be very compelling. They could have emphasized that he needed to go back for emotional reasons -- such as visiting the grave site of his lost loved ones. That might have worked ... I don't know. Something. Yes, the Supergirl film was crappy but I was rather smitten with Helen Slater and disregarded any semblance of a plot.

[@davidawilliams252]

@@randaljbatty you are absolutely right. There is no justification for Kal-El to come back to a dead, 3/4 disintegrated planet. And its actually 6 years...if they would have used the technology of the first movie, Kal-el would have gotten there in 3. Then it would have taken him 3 years to come back to Earth.
