- According to the Blue Book of Pianos the average Steinway Pianos weighs between 540 lbs and 990 lbs depending on model.
- Lex Luthor bought a custom, ultralight weight piano so he can push it around easily and pretend he's Superman.
- Then what's wrong with that mook who got crushed by it?
- That is, conservatively speaking, an extremely far stretch.
- Lex Luthor bought a custom, ultralight weight piano so he can push it around easily and pretend he's Superman.
- Seriously though, has anyone done the math on this? If Richard and Lois (and therefore everyone else) genuinely believe he's Richard's son... it's a pretty small window of opportunity, is what I'm saying.
- I don't think they DO think that he's Richard's son. It's more realistic to think that Richard met and fell in love with Lois while she was pregnant. The two got engaged, they put Richard's name on the birth certificate, and no one cared beyond Jason now having a father.
- Either that or Superman's sperm has rejuvenating qualities.
- Alternately, she doesn't think she was raped but she knows something happened that she can't remember and Superman is hiding from her.
- Sadly, they decide to reboot the thing for the...god knows how many times instead of expanding this interesting bit.
- And in the movie, Jason gets an "A" on his report card in science, supporting the "golden age of science and technology" part of this WMG.
That leaves Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and the Flash - perhaps one of the pilots escorting the Space Shuttle flight was Hal Jordan?
- Green Lantern (2011) may have intended to be part of this continuity. Since Superman was going to have a cameo as a potential successor of Abin Sur's ring.
- The movie opens with Krypton. We meet Jor-El and Lara. Jor-El learns Krypton will explode. The Science Council refuse to believe him. Jor-El and Lara send Jor-El in a rocket. The rocket goes into lightspeed the moment Krypton explodes.
- The opening credits.
- The Kents finds Kal-El.
- Montage of Clark's childhood. Which includes meeting Lana Lang and Lex Luthor.
- Clark learns of his alien heritage and forms the Fortress of Solitude.
- Clark moves to Metropolis. Works at the Daily Planet. Meets Lois Lane, Perry White, and Jimmy Olsen.
- Lex is CEO of LexCorp. Kitty Kowalski would be his secretary.
- Clark becomes Superman and saves the plane.
- Lex finds out he's an alien and stole a crystal from the Fortress.
- The rest of the movie would pretty much be the same, minus Richard and Jason White.
- Lex is exposed at the end and is a wanted criminal. Lex swears revenge.
- The plot of Man of Steel could have easily been the sequel. With people getting used to Superman as he's praised as a hero, until Zod and the other Phantom Zone criminals appear to take over Earth. Superman would also have to deal with the public turning against him.

- Apparently jossed, as the Green Lantern movie and Supergirl each take place in their own universe separate from the Donner/Singer movies. Although the Donner/Singer universe was hinted to have intended to be merged with the Arrowverse and Black Lightning's Earth during Crisis on Infinite Earths, until the Lex of Earth-38 rewrites the Book of Destiny.
