Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they soar back to the Man of Steel’s world in Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns (2006). After a five-year absence, Clark Kent / Superman (Brandon Routh, Dodgeball, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) returns to Earth only to discover that his love, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth, Blue Crush, 3000 Miles to Graceland), has moved on—and even has a young son, Jason. As Clark grapples with heartbreak, he uncovers a nefarious plot by Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey, American Beauty, The Usual Suspects) to use stolen Kryptonian technology to reforge the world in his image. Rounding out the stellar cast are James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men, Enchanted) as Lois’s fiancé Richard White, Parker Posey (the “Queen of Indies” in Party Girl, Best in Show) as tabloid editor Kitty Kowalski, Sam Huntington (Disturbia, I Am Number Four) as earnest photographer Jimmy Olsen, Frank Langella (Oscar-nominated for Frost/Nixon) as Perry White, and Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, Designated Survivor) as Richard’s brother, Stanford White. The spirit of Superman’s father, Jor-El, is heard in archive audio of Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), tying this chapter back to the character’s origins. Don’t miss Tara & Andrew's breakdown of the film’s most iconic moments—from the breathtaking sequence where Superman slows time to save Lois and Jason in that penthouse fall, to the jaw-dropping finale atop Lex’s oceanic fortress, where Superman confronts a golden statue come to life. We’ll discuss the soaring flight through Lois’s apartment, the emotional “son of Krypton” reveal, and how Superman Returns balances nostalgia with new stakes for Earth’s greatest hero. #SupermanReturns #BrandonRouth #KateBosworth #KevinSpacey #JamesMarsden #ParkerPosey #SamHuntington #FrankLangella #KalPenn #BryanSinger #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #AndrewGordon #TaraErickson #React #ReactTo #Reaction #DC #DCComics #Movie #Movies #Film Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/nVjd7mwnqQs All Star Superman (2011) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/Bm_-zHiNhjY Superman: Unbound (2013) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/CUPTekc77lg Superman III (1983) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/xVyYiR298Rk Superman: The Movie (1978) Coy's Reaction: https://youtu.be/mlubceOmcz0 0:00 Checking In! 1:11 Superman Returns Reaction 35:17 SHOPIFY 37:26 Superman Returns Movie Reaction 1:18:02 Patron Q&A + Superman Returns Review 1:47:21 Patron of the Day SHOUT OUT!

There's an extension of the scene where Lois is about to go to the Hospital to see Superman and before she leaves, Perry mentions that the Island settled somewhere just in orbit of Pluto and was Still Growing as it settled, making a NER Planetoid. When Perry asks her what to call it, she pauses then says, New Krypton.

This is a great movie I don’t care what anyone says. Brandon Routh was perfect to continue the Reeve legacy.

I love how after Lois told Superman that "the world doesn't need a savior" Superman then takes her up in the sky and lets her know that the world cries for one all the time.

The plane rescue is my favorite Superman sequence of all time. Hell of a way to reintroduce the character.

FUN FACT: The old guy at the bar talking to Jimmy and Clark played Jimmy Olson in the George Reeves Superman TV show from the 1950's.

I never understood the hate for this movie. This movie came out when I was 16. I loved it then, and I love it now.
