Superman Returns - Return To Krypton - Scored / With Music

This is no fantasy. No careless product of wild imagination.

[@Queen1990bee]

They should have kept this in the movie, because frankly I never understood why he was fainting when he returned to earth and passed out when he reached earth. It also perfectly tied into the ending because the land mass that Lex Luthor created looked like the wasteland that Krypton was. In short they should have opened with this then put in the credits. Plus Brandon Routh looks awesome here and I'm sad that he won't reprise his role in the next movie, he did a great job in this one.

[@Waveride]

@@rao3704 Can you link to this? I'd love to see it.

Luckily he returned as Superman in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event.

[@FrostWolf52849]

$10 million dollars was spent on this scene only for it not to be in the movie, wtf

[@franciscoterra]

It would be the best $10 million spent on the film.😢😢😢

[@kingklank6732]

Right?!

[@davidmelendrez1308]

Hollywood has an obscene sense of frivolously wasting money. All this effort, only to wind up on the cutting room floor because a director or producer decided they didn’t like the flow or the runtime was too long.

[@badabing8884]

What a waste. They should have started with this, followed by the JW theme song then the lex Luther widow death bed scene etc imo. Would have made made more sense.

[@aspeltaofkush3540]

In the novelization it’s explained that the Red sun didn’t destroy all of Krypton and that life could be sustained there. The supernova was said by astronomers to have partially scorched the planet leaving the possibility for there to be some survivors. It was all a ruse as Lex Luther bribed people to feed Superman that lie so he’d leave Earth. It was hoped by Lex that he’d die out there. As we saw, it almost happened.

[@disneyboy3030]

What a jerk move by lex.

[@paulhunter6742]

I can understand Kal-El curiosity about need to know fate of his people. Yet why risk himself? An KryptonIan probe could relate visual images and reading from safe distance.

[@aspeltaofkush3540]

@@paulhunter6742 I think it was born from an intense yearning to see other living Kryptonians that overrode his reasoning. The false info gave him false hope.

[@Daron7181]

The saying “You can never go home again.” hits differently after seeing this scene. This must’ve been both fascinating yet heartbreaking for Kal-El at the same time.

[@femtoeclipse860]

The shape Krypton is in as Superman’s ship is speeding away from it is very sad.

[@GLUBNOIR]

Krypton once served as the home world to a powerful race. Now, it's nothing more than a graveyard.

[@gohanrebelde9888]

It's a waste kal couldn't find kara or any clues about the city of kandor. maybe they should have filmed a post-credits scene in returns, seeing brainiac could generate some interest in the public to see what would happen in the next one but it did not occur to them. really this opening scene in the movie lent itself to it.

[@josephmeza8835]

No your not didn’t u see Argo City anywhere there

[@GLUBNOIR]

​@gohanrebelde9888 Or how about Brainiac being the actual villain of this movie?

[@paulallas7665]

Why was this scene not in the movie. Beautifully filmed with a moving score.

[@tompearce5418]

Because Krypton was reduced to rocks and pebbles in the first movie, and the spaceship shown here is larger than the one from the first movie. Continuity wise this scene doesn't fit.

[@jamesreid2626]

Loved for this to have been the opening. Seeing Krypton in ruins would have been a good setup for Brainiac, as he would've possibly been somewhere near and receiving the signature of another Kryptonian.

[@zarenlug20]

and actually Braniac was supposed to be Superman Returns sequel villain.

[@darthkurland]

@@zarenlug20too bad we’re not going to see that film happen.

[@TheRocketJocky]

Common man, this movie is a great addition to the saga of Superman.

[@sirdelrio]

It has the best scenes of superman's feats. The problem might have been the story and the cast.

[@kathleenhensley5951]

Why didn't they keep this in the movies... it would have added to the movie, immensely, reminding us Superman is a science fiction story with its roots in the golden age of the genre.

[@cyclopstb]

I agree. Brandon Routh deserve another chance.

[@darthkurland]

Without a doubt, he should have another chance to portray the Man of Steel.

[@m.k.m.319]

The actual piece of music that composer John Ottman "mocked up" for this scene is available to listen to on the expanded album for the film, and is titled "Return to Krypton§* (synth mockup)".

Good thing I have that release on CD.

He lived o Earth For 33 years didn't he so he made a Ship out of energy crystal so that he could fly to where his original home once was !​@@paulhunter6742

[@Cwebbussenterprise]

Someone needs to make a fan edit of Superman Returns and put the Krypton sequence in it and post it on KZbin.

[@indyclonejr]

Would say use the planet krypton theme at the start, seriously listen to it while the scene plays out. It fits so well

[@fernandohernandez1692]

That scene was powerful and it explains what he found in his planet. It should of kept it in the movie. That would explain how long it took him to find his home only too find the symbol S . And destroyed no life in that planet. So much money spent not too put that scene in what a shame.

Was a really nice opening. Film was disappointing, but this opening would have made it much better.

At least we’re finally able to see it now.

[@fyoukim1]

Certainly more exciting with this soundtrack...

[@JeffreyReddick-ge9ll]

Thank u

[@discombubulate2256]

you'd think the ship would generally protect against radiation.

[@seyumaiayami3536]

I thought crystals could protect against radiation at least somewhat. Superman doesn't really need the protection with our sun, though. It's the homeworld Kryptonite in that huge mass that got to him.

[@5keeper7ful]

I would have totally preferred the entire movie be about Superman during his time gone. Like in the video game, he fights Mongul and other villains on the planet "Warworld". How awesome of a film would that have been, instead of this crap?

[@thebatman1889]

Could have encountered braniac who was preparing to invade earth Twist Braniac was the one who destroyed Krypton on the first place

[@dereklarner6298]

If the planet exploded, would there have been debris that size and composition?

[@capnjackgallows3204]

No there wouldnt be , bit daft but still fantastic to see this clip kind of chilling too

[@RedHeadKevin]

If Superman went to find the remains of Krypton, wouldn't he know it would be just a giant debris field of Kryptonite? It seems like he could piece that together.

@@seyumaiayami3536but regardless of how it appeared on screen, the common factor in all of these theories is that Krypton was destroyed.

You are right about that being where the opening credits were originally supposed to be.

[@darthkurland]

That is where they were supposed to be.

[@14DaveHunter]

I never understood how the kryptonite affected him. He had no powers, due to no yellow sun.

[@shawntipton5078]

Kryptonian physiology. they are vulnerable to the radiation, really great film and alternative opening scene, always liked the return to Krypton sequence

[@joshsargent9599]

You do think their technology would protect them as it’s a spaceship? Radiation you’d think it could handle

[@thebatman1889]

He may be paranoid It's like looking at your trauma will affect you mentally

[@jennypack217]

I didn't think it would be that detrimental to him. However, it occurs to me that not everything on Earth is good for humans to be around. I suspect the same here. Also, in reality most of his life he wasn't exposed to that level of kryptonite. It was probably more than he could handle. The other thought was his body is used to being super. So it doesn't have the immunity built up.

[@BarefootHippie]

​@@jennypack217Like in Man of Steel when he wasn't able to handle the atmosphere on Zod's ship, but the other Kryptonians had no problem with it, tying into what Jor-El had told him about Krypton having a much harsher environment than Earth.
