Unfortunately, the film failed to capture the same audience as ''Batman Begins'', and bombed; it would be another seven years before ''Superman'' returned to the big screen with ''Film/ManOfSteel'' in 2013, introducing Creator/HenryCavill in the role and starting the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse.

Brandon Routh reprised the role of Superman in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'s CrisisCrossover adaptation of ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', appearing alongside his regular role of [[ComicBook/TheAtom Ray Palmer / The Atom]] from ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''. This [[https://d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net/wp/wp-content/images/crisisoninfiniteearths-superman-kingdomcome-brandonrouth-700x1050.jpg incarnation and suit]] was based on ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'', but at the same time remained the same character in the film, meaning [[TheOtherDarrin the same one that was played by]] Creator/ChristopherReeve.

By 2006, Creator/DCComics was in a period of success. ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' was in its sixth season keeping the ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' franchise alive on TV, ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' was keeping the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'' alive, and ''Film/BatmanBegins'' from only a year before had reinvigorated the Batman film franchise. Taking advantage of this popularity, it was decided that after nineteen years in limbo, the ''Film/{{Superman|Film Series}}'' film franchise should be revived as well. Creator/BryanSinger, who directed the first two of the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', crafted ''Returns'' as both a sequel and an homage to ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'' and ''Film/SupermanII'' -- while also [[CanonDiscontinuity ignoring]] ''Film/SupermanIII'', ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'', and (probably) ''Film/{{Supergirl|1984}}''.
