Donner putting a toilet in the FOS probably WAS an example of verisimilitude right???
Isn't it in keeping with reality that Superman would need somewhere to crap in?
Otherwise Supes would have to crap all over the fortress floor.... it would have killed the moment of romance if Lois accidentally stepped in Superman's poo whilst she was touring the fortress.
It would have made an interesting fortress battle with the villains having to constantly watch out for Superman's shiit lying all over the place.
Imagine Ursa trying to kick Superman but her leg going right through him because it's a decoy made of shiit.
Also Non trying lunging at Superman but ends up face down in a pile of Supes' poo...

When there's a bathroom on airplanes, what do you think happens when toilets are flushed? Hence, a being that flies doesn't need a toilet.... Unless he becomes human. Oh.

I know this isn't a serious topic but I'm so glad they didn't use it in the theatrical cut. It's more like something Lester would do than Donner yet there it is in Donners cut

The toilet wasn't in the Donner Cut. The toilet WAS the Donner cut.

The toilet wasn't in the Donner Cut. The toilet WAS the Donner cut. All kidding aside, it was pretty weird that the Donner cut expanded the comic elements and trimmed out some of the more serious Donner villain material that was shown in the IRC...

I actually preferred having the toilet flush sound effect instead of just Mrs. Teschmacher yelling "I found it!" without any flushing sound as seen on the RIC cut.
I thought is was sorta gross that Teschmacher would essentially crap on the fortress floor in the RIC... at least in the Donner cut there's a proper fixture with a flushing apparatus which makes the scene less gross.

I could have done without the whole joke, even if it's in the Mank script. Some things better unspoken of. On another note- thought it interesting that Lester had a bed designed in the Fortress of Solitude, (in the Mank script, there's a somewhat corny bit where Lois and Supes are spontaneous off-camera on the FOS floor!)- I know Jorel says he anticipated his son making the wrong choice, but I was suprised that he designed the Fortress to have a bedroom built in for that choice already! (Though apparently no Kryptonian condoms in Verisimilitude- opening the door for Superman Returns. Huh.)

Maybe Ms. Teschmacher thought the crystal chamber was a bathroom??
It DID have a nasty stain on it...
