Also, the Salkinds burned a lot of bridges with the original cast during the 2nd film.
if theyd handled it better Donner could've directed about 4 movies (hes said as much and he had no problem doing Lethal sequels) then someone of equal standing could've taken over and the Superman series could've been like the Bond films - Reeve could've done 6 or 7 before being recast, Brando and Stamp could've reappeared in various films, Couldve even teamed up with Batman at some point etc. they could've been on about Superman 15 by now (although theyd have probably done a reboot like MOS at some point as Bond did) -

I'm a sucker for cheap productions from the likes of Cannon films. I'd have liked to have seen it. Indeed,
Superman IV
was intended as a return to the roots of the series by getting Hackman and Kidder back. Boy was that way off, lol. I think a reboot starring Reeve and maybe recasting the others, most if not all, would have been a cool idea. Since Reeve slimmed down and was still young enough, it could have worked. (Reeve is only about a year older than Cavill was in
Man Of Steel
for this film.)
If not a John Byrne post-Crisis style reboot, I wouldn't mind him facing off against Darkseid. Perhaps they could have gotten the rights to the Green Lantern and put him and the guardians in the movie together. They could have addressed the question that all
Superman
media begs: if the yellow sun of Earth turns Kryptonians into Supermen, why have they not conquered it to gain all of this power? A lost war to Oa would explain that one.

I remember reading in an old Wizard Magazine that Superman was going to make an appearance saving Batman and Robin. It was the scene in Batman Forever(Might have been Batman and Robin) when Two-Face had them locked in a giant safe.
