But HOW did he get back as the Kryptonian sun would make him desuperfied?
He borrowed a space shuttle?
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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

I thought the sun went supernova
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.

Hey. New board.
Also, does he fly a LOT faster than the speed of light? I mean, we're assuming Krypton is pretty far away, right?
Or does he employ relativity for himself + earth-spinny-time-machine when he gets back, erasing hundreds of years of non-Supes Earth history?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In Superman, the Animated Series, Superman needs to wear a spacesuit, and he flies between planets in the spaceship that brought him to Earth.

Hey. New board.
I always assumed that the spaceship he flew to earth in was a standard, close-to-light-speed thing that didn't take too long by his standards thanks to relativity.
Wrong, or never addressed?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

He makes like the audience and waves his hands.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Bravo just did 100 scariest movies--some I've never heard of. But the commentary was fabulous. Rob Zombie has the driest sense of humor. Sadly, I'll probably not watch the films I've not seen because I dislike horror movies.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The movie Superman is essentially the pre-Crisis Earth-1 Superman, who could fly way WAY faster than light. Though it sounds like maybe they're employing some elements of the post-Crisis Superman, whose powers remain even under a red sun until he slowly depletes them through use?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That might have been the special that turned me on to The Audition. When Rob Zombie said it freaked him out, I went straight to Netflix and didn't watch any of their clips.
