“It's the same as it's always been, Luthor. On the brink. With good fighting evil. See you in twenty.”
Superman
Clark Kent
Lex Luthor
Nuclear Man
Villain's plot:
Lex Luthor uses a strand of Superman’s hair, along with nuclear material, to create Nuclear Man—a villain to foil Superman.
Rankings:
He knows quack fu…
The only addition was Nuclear Man… and just mullet.
The costume didn’t change much over the course of these four films, thankfully.
Every non-John Williams version is progressively worse.
Notes
It started off well enough; in that they basically tried to replicate the success of the first by bringing Lois, and Lex back into the franchise, but the inclusion of Nuclear Man and “Lenny Luthor”… ouch. And the special effects? You can tell the budget was slashed.
