Fortress superman sidekick11/22/2023 ![]() ![]() At the start, he’s still in prison with bumbling sidekick Otis (Ned Beatty) and is without a wig. Also in the film is Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman again). ![]() Zod is self-important and arrogant Ursa has a habit of stealing badges from victims and adding them to her own clothing while Non is a mute and slightly dim giant. Once freed thanks to the shock wave from a hydrogen bomb Superman has flung into space, they end up on the moon, then head off to conquer Earth. It doesn’t last long, however…īad guys: The three criminals we saw briefly in film one – General Zod (Terence Stamp), Ursa (Sarah Douglas) and Non (Jack O’Hallaran) – swore revenge on Jor-El and his heir when they were imprisoned. Reeve then, in effect, plays a third character: Superman in persona, Clark in abilities. As Superman, he takes her to his Fortress of Solitude near the North Pole and chooses to renounce his powers so they can live as a couple. As Lois gets closer to discovering Clark’s secret identity, he becomes more nervous about it – she risks her own life to test her theory, but it’s only when he accidentally burns his hand and there’s no scar that he has to own up. Great mileage is made with the idea that while Clark is in love with Lois, she’s in love with Superman. Later, she and Clark pose as a married couple in a Niagara Falls hotel and are given the honeymoon suite. Lois Lane (Margot Kidder, likewise returning from the preceding film likewise excellent) is caught up in the incident too and needs saving. At the beginning of the film he flies to Paris when he learns terrorists have taken over the Eiffel Tower. Good guys: Clark Kent/Superman is again played by the peerless Christopher Reeve. When Lois Lane begins to suspect he’s really Superman, Clark Kent faces a huge dilemma… Meanwhile, three Kryptonian psychopaths are taking over planet Earth. Spoiler warning: these reviews reveal plot twists. ![]()
