"Superman Returns" is technically a sequel to the first two Christopher Reeve movies, while pointedly ignoring the latter two (which is understandable). But with an almost entirely new cast (apart from some archival footage of Marlon Brando‘s Jor-El) and a new Art Deco aesthetic, the film also played like a fresh start for the series. Sadly, it didn’t revive the franchise like "Batman Begins" had done for its hero the year before.
