It's been twenty years since Superman was last seen in the movies. Now, the Man of Steel is back in "Superman Returns," directed by Bryan Singer. In this story, Superman had gone off for five years in search of traces of Krypton, his home planet. In his absence, Lois Lane has become a mother, while archenemy Lex Luthor is planning his next criminal empire. The latest chapter in the Superman saga makes an impressive splash! Brandon Routh is well cast as Superman, proving himself a worthy successor to the late Christopher Reeve. Kevin Spacey makes a fine Lex Luthor as well. The filmmakers give us many facets of the Superman legacy, referencing the character's first appearance in the comics, and even reviving John William's memorable score from 1978's "Superman." All these factors have made the wait worth it for fans.
