Same director, [[KevinSpacey same actor]], similar mannerisms, a penchant for disguises and aliases. It all adds up. ''Film/TheUsualSuspects'' is set in BryanSinger's Superman universe. Keyser Söze is a myth invented by SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor to scare people, while Verbal Kint is a simple cover alias.

\n[[WMG:Had SupermanReturns had been more successful, the movie would have been the setup for a JusticeLeague film.]]

Think about it - Lex Luthor tries to create a continent in the ocean made out of Kryptonite, probably messing up marine life for thousands of leagues, and pissing off Aquaman. Gotham City is mentioned frequently in the movie - at one point, when Lex Luthor sets off his device, the map shows that Gotham City is not far from ground zero, so it too would have been affected, getting Batman involved. Depending on how far the Kryptonite affected the oceans, it could have affected the Amazons on their island, bringing in Wonder Woman to be sent as an envoy to the "World of Men".

Early in the film, Perry White mentions "that birthday clown massacre thing." He doesn't go into details, but one way of interpreting it is that the clown was the killer, as opposed to someone massacring a bunch of birthday clowns. Following on from this, Brutus has a tattoo of a scary clown face which the movie focuses on as if it means something. Ergo, Brutus is a former MonsterClown who murdered a bunch of people, kids included, at a birthday party.

Remember, Superman erased Lois's memory of their time together with his amnesia kiss in ''Superman II''. To Lois's perspective, she never had sex with Superman or anyone else, but she somehow gave birth to a baby with superpowers. What else is she going to think?

Superman and Metropolis are mentioned in BatmanForever[=/=][[Film/BatmanAndRobin & Robin]] and Gotham in Superman Returns. Plus after Batman Returns the events of Superman Returns takes place. Lex Luthor's crystal continent could have caused damage not only to Metropolis but also (and maybe to a larger extent) Gotham. With most of Gotham in disrepair the city is completely renovated replacing all the gothic architecture with the bright neon lights shown in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.
