End credits.
Fanedit details : DVD NTSC SL 2.0 Stereo
Intention for this fanedit: My full intent was to reinsert all deleted footage as well as restore the complete musical score. I did that by both reinserting the deleted scenes, and in a few cases, inserting still frames and comic panes so that the music would fit. I refused to ever call it a Fan Cut for two reasons. One, I wanted to present it close to what it originally was and not apply any of my own ideas (with a couple exceptions), and two, I am in no way a fan of this garbage movie.

Time needed for the edition: Several Months
persons involved: 1

used parts of the comic book to show missing scenes and the use of still frames to add missing dialogue.

Clark's nightmare sequence had a bad Jor-El voiceover, so a new sequence was designed using footage and audio from STM.
Clark waking up and talking to his neighbor restored.
Extra dialog between Jeremy and his classmates restored.
Superman answering Jeremy's letter restored. Superman's flying shot was unfinished footage, so a flying shot from Superman III was used. Some footage was cut at the end, so still images and captions will be shown to add in missing dialog.

Metro Club scene using images from the comic book has been added. This is done to explain Nuclear Man's interest in Lacy. Footage of Nuclear Man 1 going outside with the lady has been restored.
