This underrated Superman sequel worked better as a nostalgic throwback than 'The Flash.'
The Big Picture Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for The Flash.In an industry in which no project seems to be greenlit if it doesn’t relate to some form of pre-existing IP, two forms of storytelling seem to have taken root as the most popular.
Brandon Routh essentially does an impression of Christopher Reeve in a performance that generally deserves more credit. On a story level, this makes sense; Superman doesn’t age, so there’s no point in trying to have an older, gruffer version of Kal-El in his version of Logan wouldn’t be the right direction to take the character. However, it’s also more powerful on a thematic level to see Routh playing a version of Reeve’s Superman that seemingly hasn’t aged a day since the end of Superman II .
In a parallel to the post-9/11 arms race, Luthor is attempting to replace Superman with another superweapon that shares his destructive capabilities. This is also what allows Superman Returns to hit on an emotional level, as Luthor’s only solution is to find another Kryptonian. Superman’s race may have been eradicated, but he did leave behind the illegitimate child Jason with Lois Lane , who is now in a relationship with Perry White’s son, Richard .
