I love Family Reunion. It's a great story.

Somewhere online I saw scenes that were cut out of the beginning of SR that showed Superman looking around the remains of Krypton from his spaceship. It was a bunch of big, crystalline rocks in space that were faintly green. At one point he finds his S carved into the rock face, if I remember correctly. I don't know why they cut it out - it would have made the beginning of the movie make more sense. But I guess that still wouldn't solve the stupid plot problem.

"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
