Superman Returns saw the Man of Steel face down another diabolical Lex Luthor scheme, but DC fans have since pointed out one fundamental flaw.
Bryan Singer's Superman Returns has been called out by DC fans for an overlooked - but fundamental - flaw in villain Lex Luthor's master plan. The 2006 superhero movie, starring Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel and Kevin Spacey as his follicle-lacking arch-nemesis, was a continuation of the original Superman film franchise. Although a sequel had been slated for a 2009 release, the movie neither met box office expectations nor proved to satisfy mass audiences .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY A Reddit thread posing the question of 'Which continuity error or plot hole in a movie always sticks out in your mind?' has sparked a resurgence of fan criticism for Superman Returns, highlighting a significant oversight in Lex Luthor's diabolical scheme. In the film, while Kal-El returns to Earth after a five-year absence and reunites with Lois Lane, Luthor steals Kryptonite from the Fortress of Solitude to create a new continental landmass .
"He's going to destroy the majority of the earth and sell salvation on a barren radioactive rock to the rich and powerful. WITH WHAT MONEY LEX. Congrats you're the king of nothing on a pile of worthless money because money has no value if you cause a global apocalypse"Comment from discussion thamonsta's comment from discussion "Which continuity error or plot hole in a movie always sticks out in your mind?" .
Despite the lukewarm attitude towards the film itself in subsequent years, DC fans have fully embraced Routh as a deserving incarnation of the character. His return to wearing the cape as part of the Arrowverse's 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' TV event was a major talking point for fans of the show and DC fans, most of whom warmly welcomed Routh back to the role thirteen years later.
Part of the reasoning for why Luthor's major planning oversight in Superman Returns escaped scrutiny for so long might also be explained by DC fans focusing more on the machinations of Jesse Eisenberg's incarnation in recent years. The Luthor of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, while shown to be a capable manipulator of mortals and superheroes alike, was the subject of criticism for having schemes that felt overly convoluted and underpinned by a thinly plausible rationale.
