Superman may be faster than a speeding bullet, but Superman Returns took an arduous 117 days to hit the $200 million mark at the box office. The film was generally well reviewed, as was its strikingly handsome star, Brandon Routh so Warner Bros. has greenlit another movie, signing on Routh and director Bryan Singer for another stab at the Man of Steel's quest for truth, justice and all that stuff. The film is tentatively set to open in 2009, but in the meantime, Superman Returns arrives on DVD today. Among the bonus features are a first-rate behind-the-scenes documentary on the film's production. There are also 11 deleted scenes. The good: Kitty (the hilarious Parker Posey) asking Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) about his plans: "So, what is it this time, Lex? Clubbing baby seals or selling ice to Eskimos?" The bad: The missing "return to Krypton" scenes, in which Superman searches for the remains of his home planet. TV Guide checked in with the mild-mannered Routh to see what he thought about the movie, and what's next. "TV Guide: Is there anything in particular that got cut from the movie that you are looking forward to fans seeing in the DVD?Brandon Routh: Well, there's some really good stuff at the farm, some neat interaction with Clark and Martha and James Karen's character, Ben [Martha's new beau], which is funny stuff. It will be fun for people to see that."More...
