This unused scene, which cost $10 Million to shoot, would have been the opening to Bryan Singer's Superman Returns but the director chose to leave it on the cutting room floor..
"In the context of this movie where this movie needed to begin and what it needed to be about, I didn’t feel it. It’s just one of those things. No one told me to do it, to make these cuts. I had no time restrictions nor pressure whatsoever. I just felt the movie doesn’t need this, so I did something else instead."
The scene is a feature on the eight disc
