Superman Returns cut "Return to Krypton" sequence
Figured I would make this it's own thread since the most recent SR thread is the box office one. Well saw this article on the main page over at the Hype, but the link isn't working.

So, I checked in the boards over there and found the goods, thanks goes to Retroman. Why they wouldn't include this sequence in the movie is beyond me.
And this better be included as a deleted scene with the dvd.

I believe it's confirmed that this will not be included as a deleted scene in the upcoming DVD, but rather as part of a theatrical re-release of the movie sometime down the road.

I think one of the things that most disappointed me about the movie as released was a very big deal was made about Superman "returning," but the movie itself barely touched on what he did while he was away, what he saw, why he went, etc. It felt more like a plot device than anything done for a storytelling reason.

It is a very cool looking sequence though.

Having Braniac target Jason is how you could have Richard sacrifice himself to save Jason (although Richard might still not know that Jason has similar super powers, albeit on a lesser scale, but enough invulnerability to ward off the initial attack, but Richard wouldn't know, and dies trying to save Jason, anyway). Save Zod for the 3rd installment (have it be revealed that it was Zod who had Braniac constructed and he shows up after following Braniac to earth but showing up after Superman has dealt with Braniac in a battle royale, or gets released from the Phantom Zone after their battle).

Although I don't dislike Richard so I'm not cool with killing him off. Your idea makes perfect sense and it does leave the door open for Superman (or, better yet, Clark) to get back with Lois but the one thing I really like from Superman Returns is that, although Lois still had feeling for Supes, she chose Richard over him. It really helped to futher isolate Superman.
