So happy Tim Burton's Superman never happened.

Superman Lives Would Have Brought A Major Twist To Superman's Origin

 

Dan Gilroy, the screenwriter and close collaborator with Tim Burton, illuminated one of the film’s biggest departures. While Superman has always grown up with the knowledge that he is not a human, or of this world, Burton’s Clark Kent wouldn’t have discovered his alien origins until many years into his Superman career, Gilroy revealed to Collider.

 

That revelation, according to Gilroy, would have sent Superman reeling.

 

“This is the worst news possible. This is like my biggest fear: that I’m an alien! You walk around thinking it’s a pathological thing; maybe I have a tumor that gives me strength,” Gilroy explained to Collider. “But to find out you’re an alien, that you’re not of this planet, I smile when I think about it.”

Really? If Clark didn't realize that he was a alien the very second he developed powers then he was one incredible dim bulb. :facepalm:
