[edit] Deleted footage

There is no source for this footage, even if it's true, we need a reliable source to confirm. Bignole 17:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's on the SUPERMAN IV Special Edition DVD. Mcflytrap 21:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

This comment was left awhile ago when the section was in terrible shape. Also, it also addressed the "deleted scenes" being listed, as this is unencyclopedic. Bignole 21:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Mcflytrap 14:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Worth mentioning?

• The Metropolis Subway sequence looks nothing like the New York Subway - not surprising, since it was actually shot on the London Underground with its distinctive round tunnels and trains shaped to fit.
• One of the posters on the wall mentions New York City, which is paradoxical since in the movie Metropolis is "played" by New York.
• A headline on the tabloid Daily Planet mentions "your favourite newspaper" - note the UK spelling which somebody didn't check.

There are probably hundreds of others but those are the ones that particularly caught my eye. Lee M 17:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cast

At no point in the article is it noted which actors played which characters. Some are quite obvious, but e.g. "Lacy" is not. -- Jon Dowland 15:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, 1 of 2 things need to happen. Either a "Cast" section needs to be added, or, someone should go into the plot and add the actor's name, in paranthesis, next to their respective characters.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special Powers

This film gives the Man of Steel powers with which he had never before been portrayed. Among these, after the Nuclear Man destroys part of the Great Wall of China, Superman restores the wall by gazing at it, causing the wall to rebuild itself, apparently by use of telekinesis, a power never ascribed to Superman in the comics.

While never seen in the comics, I beleive that the Phantom Zone criminals demonstrate this power in Superman II.

[edit] Not that bad.

OH COMON!!! THIS MOVIE WASN'T THAT BAD!!! IT'S BY FAR BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS 3 CRAPPY ONES. —Preceding unsigned comment added by King of the Dancehall (talk • contribs)

[edit] Masonry vision

General Zod had telekinesis powers in Superman II, levitating a farm boy's dad, and since Superman and the Evil guys were equal in abilities, telekinesis isn't so far fetched. Zod's telekinesis came out of his index finger though. 70.177.90.238 08:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Protected

Over edit war on whether sequence of films listed should be on basis of continuity or production order. The conversation is at Talk:Superman Returns#Protected. -- Samir धर्म 06:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The other dispute has been resolved, this page can be unprotected. CmdrClow 09:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

In conjunction with the agreement reached at the Superman Returns page, I've removed the Followed By box. Please do not re-add it. CmdrClow 02:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Even though?

Even though it tried to send a strong message against the use of nuclear weapons, the movie was not well received by either the general public or movie critics.

This implies that a movie will be inherently well received simply because it has a strong political message. Having a political message has nothing to do with filmic quality. 67.171.163.212 16:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

What's up with that "references" section? Is it meant to be for footnotes or citations? I notice that some text I added to the article a while back has been moved there, but it's not a reference.

Fourohfour 16:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cemetary scene

In the deleted scenes section there's no mention of Superman in the cemetary seeing his foster parents graves.Does anyone have sources of that so we put that in.Apparently I beleive this is not included in the "deleted scenes section" of the DVD delux edition.-Vmrgrsergr 19:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special powers

How (not) on Earth does Lacey (Mariel Hemmingway) breathe in space? She clearly has no breathing apparatus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.40.61 (talk) 00:23, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 05:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Superman iv.jpg

Image:Superman iv.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
