Superman Returns ending explained (spoilers)

[chad]

Lex creates a giant kriptonite encrusted Island and stabs Superman with Kriptonite. Superman falls into the sea and it looks like curtains for him when Lois and her husband Richard come and rescue him. Lois takes the Kryptonite out and Superman, half recovered goes back to the island, lifting it up with all his strength. Lex and his buddies go to leave but his henchman get killed and he and Kitty leave in a helicopter, Kitty dropping the crystals as they leave. Superman throws the island from Earths atmosphere and tumbles back to earth with a thump, leaving him in a coma. Superman lives and finds out that Lois Lane's son is his. He says the same thing to the boy (the son becomes the father and the father becomes the son) that his dad said to him. It is left very open at the end, for sequel's sake I take it, but Lois makes it clear she wants Superman in their lives and her current boyfriend is out of the picture. She asks him whether he she will see him around and he replies 'I'm always around Lois' and flies off.

The basic idea:
Jason is Loiss son with Superman, not Richard.

		The story and ending:
		While Superman went on a five-year mission to find Krypton, Lex took the time to study extensively the properties of crystals andwoo a very rich dying widow, who leaves everything to Lex when she dies, including a very expensive yacht with helicopter hangar.

Lex steals the father crystals from the Fortress of Solitude. His plan was to use a crystal to create his own continent which wouldbreak throughmost of the Eastern Seaboard, including Metropolis, killing many people, and later create real estate for him to extort to the world. Lex also combinesone of thefather crystals with a piece of Kryptonite, so that Superman could not destroy his new landmass.

Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) gets herself and her son Jason into trouble again by investigating Lexs home, because of a blackout that Lex caused while experimenting with the father crystal. With Lois Lane and her son kidnapped on his yacht, Lex fires a missile into the Atlantic Ocean, not too far from the east coast, and another Fortress of Solitude-like landmassbegins to form, expanding at a geometric rate. At some point, Jason exerts a powerful amount of energy, indicating that he is Supermans son (in the movie).

Loiss husband Richard (Jason Marsden) and Superman save Lois and Jason from the sinking yacht after Lex, his goons, and his girlfriend Kitty (Parker Posey) escape in a helicopter. Lois, Richard, and Jason, get away in Richards seaplane as the yacht sinks.

Superman flies to the forming landmass and confronts Lex, but is soon weakened by the Kryptonite radiation inside the crystals. Lex and his thugs take the opportunity to get physical revenge on Superman for all the years of torment they suffered in prison. Lex finishes Superman off by stabbing him with a kryptonite shard, breaking it offin Supermans back so he cant pull it out, andSuperman fallsoff the ledge into the water below.

As Superman is about to give up, Lois saves him by getting Richard to fly to Supermans location. She manages to get theshard out of his back with a pair of pliers. Superman uses what is left of his powers to fly past the stormy clouds over Metropolis into the stratosphere, where the Sun revitalizes all of his powers, and then some.

Superman jets back down to Earth, and heat visions his way to the very bottom of the core crystal deep inside the Earth. He lifts up the continent, high above the waters. Lex Luthor knows that he has been foiled yet again, and leaves on his helicopter with Kitty. Kittys conscience finally gets to her, and she dumps the rest of the father crystals so that Lex can do no more harm with them.

Though the kryptonite core is weakening Superman, once he gets the continent past the clouds, the sun gives him enough energy toraise the entire continent into space, where itfloats away from Earth as a very exhausted and unconscious Superman plummets back to Earth. The world is saved once again by Superman, despite a moment where it seems he may have died in the hospital.

Elsewhere, on a very small deserted island, the helicopter has run out of fuel, leaving Kitty and Lex to survive on their own.

Finally, back in Metropolis, Lois attempts to write an article entitled Why the World Needs Superman. In Jasons room, Superman speaks to his apparent son Jason while he is sleeping, repeating verbatim what Jor-El said to him as he approached Earth years ago. Just before Superman leaves,Lois asks him if he will be around.He tells her hell always be around, and flies off into the credits.

Superman stops Lex Luthors plan to send the west coast into the sea by repairing the San Andreas fault, he also puts the Golden Gate bridge back together and stops a town near the Hoover Dam from being destroyed. But Lois Lane gets buried alive by rocks and sand and dies. Superman finds her, goes around the Earth, and ends up going into the past before she was buried. Superman then picks up Lex Luthor and Otis and takes them to the state penitentary. The movie ends with him flying into space with John Williams brilliant main title playing. [To Credits]
