Unique...and STUPID as hell too. FAR FROM INTERESTING.Superman Returns used Kryptonite in the most interesting and unique way.

Honestly, Luthor needs a rest about as much as the Krytonite does. I know Luthor is his main villain and everything, I even like Luthor but in the context of Superman movies that's the only guy besides Zod he ever gets to go against. So for movie audiences it's been a bald guy in a business suit and a guy with power that are exactly like Supermans. They're needs to be some changing up here.
Unless you want to count the oh-so awesome Ross the Boss or Nuclear Man.
Lose it. It is tired and uninteresting.
The answer is to de-power Superman. Make him more a Spider-man level of superhuman. He is still super strong compared to the rest of us, but not strong enough to life entire continents.
Anyway, back to Kryptonite. It's become pointless, considering that since its conception, many villains and weapons of equal or greater power than Superman have been created to challenge him. Unlike some, I don't believe it has to be a staple of the character.
If I were in charge of a continuity reboot, I'd personally write it out entirely.
Is that what Angeloz is talking about?
In the movie-verse? Yes, Superman Returns used Kryptonite much more effectively and originally than any of the other films.Unique...and STUPID as hell too. FAR FROM INTERESTING.
Regardless...it's never been for any extended period of time.
