I'd like to share some scans from the official comic adaptation of Superman Returns (the trade paperback).

It's a really cool comic that includes the deleted Return to Krypton scene and there are a few differences from the movie, for instance once Superman saves the plane and asks if anyone's alright, he steps up to Lois and touches her face. Lovely "deleted scenes" of Clark on the farm, too, like him reading newspapers that Martha hid and meeting Ben Hubbard.



The resemblance to Brandon Routh is amazing, more so in Clark than Superman, actually. Highly recommended to anyone who loves SR and Brandon!

Singer's 4 issues of SR Prequel comics also exist, showing us what Lois, Lex and Martha Kent have been doing during Superman's long absence. The first issue also has Brando Jor-El and Lara. Lots of young Clark stuff (Superman: The Movie style) in the Martha comic issue, too. I can post those next. :)

ComicBookResources.com did an interview with the artist Matt Haley, "From Page to Screen and Back Again: Haley talks "Superman Returns" movie poster and adaptation".

Not being able to see the finished film was one of the challenges Haley faced while illustrating the "Superman Returns" movie adaptation:

"You're basically being asked to adapt a film they won't let you see, which is why most movie adaptations look pretty different from the final film," Haley stated. "Everything in every panel has to come from reference, there is very little wiggle room, I think more so on this than on other WB film adaptations because they have so much invested in this property. The bar for quality was set for adaptations by Jerry Ordway's 'Batman' movie adaptation which is just beautiful."

A great, must-read interview!

You can get the comic on Amazon! Or try eBay. :)
