Superman Returns Superman Returns Prequel Comic #4 Clears Up Some Issues About Lois Lane and Jason

[LongshotRules]

They could always say it was because of a kryptonian/human birth that maybe she didn't know or appear pregnant until months after...I know that is a stretch but it would also make people not call Lois a "****" (Although I never saw her as one anyways) since it would have been months before she moved on with Richard.

Can you explain how her egg can be impregnanted and not know about it? Did she have any periods between the time she got knocked up by Supe and getting hot and heavy with Richard? I am sure even if Kryptonian sperms act differently than human's her egg still would still behave the same. Imagine having two eggs out at the same time every month. Not possible.

 

[charl_huntress]

You can be pregnant for a while and not know. Some women have irregular periods and some just forget when they do or don't. Not all women are carrying around a pocket book marking the date down. Some do...some don't.

It's plausible that she got with Richard very soon after Supes...it could be within three months, but then that would mean they bumped uglies early on. I could buy that...it was probably rebound sex or something.

Watch this:

Luthor looked pretty upset that the Kryptonite didnt affect Jason at all.

Jason didnt seem to be holding back either and trying to restrain himself, since they cut to a shot of him at the end of this clip....hes still staring...not even phased by the Green K.

Jason looks exactly like he didnt when Luthor was given in 'Wrong' speech. No affect.

that's even clearer than i expected. thanks dude.

that should settle the argument about whether or not Jason was affected:

HE WASNT

 

[Spare-Flair]

When I go home, I'll watch the movie again for the scene where Jason reacts to Kryptonite and grab you guys some screenshots.

 

[Steelsheen]

dude, dont you see Kane's link? he has the whole 1 min of the concerend scene in living color.

 

[Punch]

there it is plain as day

No reaction

Yes he's Superman's son

 

[Conundrum]

I didn't see any reaction to the Kryptonite from Jason. None of Jason's superheroics were definite - he wasn't shown pushing the piano, Richard opened the door just before Jason did, he saw Superman when he swam to the surface. The only thing that indicated he is Superman's son is the speech at the end, although even that isn't hard evidence.

I believe that Singer et al. have made the matter vague and are waiting to see the response. If it's good, then he'll be Superman's son, if it's not, then they'll have an explanation.

Perhaps he could be Cadmus's Superboy - they may have needed a human host for the embryo - which could be explained through flashbacks, but that's a bit farfetched I think.

 

[Junfan]

I didn't get any reaction from the kid, which is why Lex's questioning Lois on it was wierd. It's like that literally came out of the nowhere...with no context.

Not out of nowhere, Jason is clearly staring at it, he can't take his eyes off it.

Good points, however his arms were extended out in a "push" position after they pan back to Jason, and obviously the ending makes it pretty definite, at least IMO.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Pretty much. Although, I'll agree.....I couldn't see any reaction to the Green K.

 

[X Knight]

hey all. I just saw the movie yesterday. Loved it!!!

I'm not 100 % enthusiastic about the kid being Supes, but it was "tastefully done"

Anyways, I watched that scene closely. I did NOT see any reaction by the Jason to Kryptonite. He actually remained pretty calm throughout the whole period. Perhaps he was looking at the Kryptonite because he was curious and fascinated by the green object. But, he did not get sick or anything.

Of course, pushing the piano halfway across the room kind of gave away his heritage.

 

[Andante]

1) They had sex when he was depowered so one would think any offspring would be normal.

2) Lois doesn't even remember having sex with Clark/Superman thanks to the super-kiss at the end of II, so really she should be all kinds of confused.

3) For either Lois or Richard to believe Supes wasn't the father means she must've been knocked up not even 3 months after his departure. Didn't take her much time to get over him, huh?

EXACTLY!

 

[fanboyhunter]

I'm not sure if anyone brought this up on any other thread about "Supa Jason" but did it ever occur to anyone that they were on a ship in really choppy water when the piano was launched at the thug. Maybe one could assume that the piano was helped by the elements (reguardless if his hands were outstretched?) Outside of that there really wasn't any other scene diplaying "the power"

 

[thechubbysaint]

^How come Jason didn't go flying with the piano?

 

[Sub-Zero]

i'm pretty sure everything was nailed down so it wouldn't move. i thought about the waves causing the piano to move as well, but it you're going to have a piano, pool table, etc you should nail everything down so that it doesn't sway and kill you. but that's just me.

 

[bearhulk]

I'll watch it over again BUT I was looking for it and I didnt see it. His face looked exactly the same as Lex came closer. He didnt even move.

Clark would be barely conscious and on the floor by then and his eyes would get all messed up like Rouths did.

i already watch movie of superman return so it clearly myself understand i watch more than 5 times it's superman's son jason ... nobody help lois so only jason help so that answer JASON IS SUPER KID so will ya less worries just wait unit superman return 2 or whatever it called ok relax we will find out more later anyways relax kane ....

i don't think kane is denying the fact that it's superman's kid. i think he saying that when lex held the kryptonite up to his face it didn't effect the kid at all. i agree. the kid, who it may or may not be superman's, isn't effected by kryptonite.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, to me, it didn't look like it affected him.

But, he's Superman's son fo sho.

 

[Steelsheen]

that's what i always thought the child of Superman and a Human would be: perfect. has all of Superman's stregths and none of his weaknesses. no need to mention the boost of such a child on our species.

of course the biggest catch is which Human female can get it on with Superman without being ripped in half and after that carry the child to labor. as much as i support the Superman+Lois cannon, when it comes to having his children he needs to have a woman that is his match. hence Wonder Woman

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, maybe it's something like Blade. Isn't he Half Human and Half vampire? All they're strengths....none of they're weaknesses. ****ing gangsta....

 

[Steelsheen]

^^ DNA loves variety

 

[Kryptonite]

My only explanation is that if Jason's powers arent developed yet, maybe his sensistivity to Kryptonite isnt either

Or maybe he is only half as powerful as Superman and half as sensitive to K

My big Q is how does Superman know that Jason is his, so that he can go and give him the speech? Or maybe because Lois assumed and told him?

well that's another way of looking at it.

remember the hospital scene where Lois said that folks who are commatosed can still hear people around them? then she whispers something to Superman's ear. it must be somewhere along the lines of "Jason is your son".

 

[Mr.Phunk]

maybe jason is like blade, he was all the powers of superman, and none of the weaknesses, except the thirst lol. sorry if someone already pointed out that similarity, i could only bring myself to read up to page 4

 

[LostSon88]

Heh, maybe Singer should've considered this before adding Jason?
(you've probably seen it but its funny as f*** so i'm posting it again)

Regardless of the details, Superman is the father. I suspect that Singer not wanting to address the complicated issue of how Superman would knock up Lois (including why she believe Richard the father) is the only reason Superman I and II are called "vague history." Otherwise, I suspect Singer would have called Superman Returns an outright sequel.

But as it stands, since the previous films are, in fact, only vague history, I suggest we simply accept the fact that somehow, some way, Superman is the father and move on.
