If Favreau is directing Iron Man, I'm betting that means Vince Vaughn as Tony Stark. Which could actually be a brilliant bit of casting.

"Is even an iron girdle enough to reign in that gut?" is the question.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
his 5 year absence was spent flying back to the ruins of Krypton specifically to check that out.
But HOW did he get back as the Kryptonian sun would make him desuperfied?
(Fuck, I can't believe I just asked that question.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fuck, I can't believe I just asked that question.
OH! No, it's really good that you did, because it explains something I'd been wondering about.
Which is to say, the answer is kind of spoilery. Not plot-crucial, but still.

Glad I'm not the only one who was wondering that. Although, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm mis-remembering, but I thought the sun went supernova which is why Krypton was destroyed in the first place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Geek alert!
I was trying to out someone as a geek by mentioning their grief at Elves and Men fighting together in the main timeline of the LotR movies, since the Last Alliance was the last time it happened. The person I was outing him to said "No! They fought together at the end of The Hobbit!"
You'd fit right in. But I do want to know the answer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He borrowed a space shuttle?

Possible. My Supes-knowledge has never been great. He kind of, you know, bores me to silly tears. Normally.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I think it was just the planet that blew up, hence all the resulting Kryptonite.
Actually, I seem to recall seeing Krypton's red sun still existing in the comics recently, so the "How'd he get back?" question is valid. Or more specifically, "How did he not suddenly die in space?"
That's been something I've always wondered about the whole Supes being able to fly in space angle is how does he manage the long distances between yellow stars to keep himself "charged up" and avoid accidentally getting too close to a red one.
