Superman Returns is a 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_in_film) superhero film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhero_film) based on the fictional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_character) DC Comics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics) character Superman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman). It was directed by Bryan Singer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Singer) and stars Brandon Routh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Routh), Kate Bosworth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Bosworth) and Kevin Spacey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Spacey). The screenplay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenplay) was written by Singer, Michael Dougherty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dougherty) and Dan Harris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Harris).
Filming began in February 2005, and the movie was released in the United States on June 28 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_28), 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006) after sixteen months of filming and production. It was the first theatrical Superman film in nineteen years, since 1987 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_in_film)'s Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_IV:_The_Quest_For_Peace). The film received generally good reviews and has thus far grossed over US$ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar)347 million worldwide.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_Returns#_note-boxofficemojo)
The film revolves around Superman's return to Earth after a five-year absence. He re-assumes his secret identity of Clark Kent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Kent), and discovers that Lois Lane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lois_Lane) -- now in a "long engagement" -- has a five-year-old son. Superman's nemesis, arch-villain Lex Luthor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Luthor) has devised a new plan to defeat Superman. Bryan Singer has said that the loose continuity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_%28fiction%29) established in the original Christopher Reeve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Reeve) Superman films serves as its back-story (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-story), or, as he put it, a "vague history".[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_Returns#_note-0) The late Marlon Brando (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlon_Brando)'s role as Superman's biological father Jor-El (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jor-El) is reprised with the help of computer-generated imagery and earlier footage.
