Superman Returns Superman Returns doesn't actually contradict III and IV, does it?

[Jakomus]

I think it blows a lot of what II did out of the water. There are several contradictions that I noticed, such as these:

1.) When he consumated his relationship with Lois in II, he did so after he'd given up his powers. He was a normal human.

Query: So how is it that his son--apparently concieved during the II tryst with Lois--can throw fricking pianos???

2.) At the end of II, Clark kisses Lois, erasing her memory of his identity and everything they'd ever done romantically. Neither III nor IV show her having any kind of romantic ties with him fueled off of what happened in the Fortress of Solitude.

Query: So why is Kate Bosworth's Lois getting up on the medical bed whispering to a comatose Superman that he owes her child support? Huh?


Either they had sex in II or they didn't.

Either he impregnated Lois with normal, human semen in II or he didn't.

Either he wiped her mind clean in II or he didn't.


These are glaring plotholes...and a large part of the reason the film doesn't make sense for a lot of fans.

You just assume Jason was conceived in Superman II. There is no eviudence to support this.

And if we go by donners films alone, the fortress of solitude is destroyed at the end of superman 2. Thats why you dont see it in 3 and 4.

Actually it is shown in part 4. Supes goes and talks to the Kryptonian council, and they all yell Betrayed at him, its a pretty crappy scene!

They've also said I and II comprise the vague history. There are refrences to Superman II. For instance, Lex knowing about the Fortress of Solitude and where it is.

Even still, they've said nothing about three and four being in the vague history....
