“It’s beyond super. It’s superb.” —Richard Corliss, TIME

During the five years Superman sought his home planet, things changed on his adopted planet. Nations moved on without him. Lois Lane now has a son, a fiancé and a Pulitzer for Why the World Doesn’t Need Superman. And Lex Luthor has a plan that will destroy billions of lives. Filmmaker Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2) honors the legend and takes it in a powerful new direction. Brandon Routh in the title role leads a top cast that includes Kate Bosworth as Lois and Kevin Spacey as Lex. And the thrills—from a sky-grapple with a tumbling jumbo jet to a continent–convulsing showdown—redefine wow.
