I have computer issues with downloading, but I still get a kick out of reading and imagining what fan editors have in mind when (basically) rewriting movies.... I'm curious- can you share what the text is that you have for the beginning saying what happened in your version between SIV and your version of SR? Sure
"Many years ago, an infant child born of another world was rocketed away from his doomed planet and sent to our own, that of the Earth, where, under the guidance of his father's great spirit, grew into the protector the people of Earth would identify as "Superman".
As he battled sinister supercomputers, three cunning super criminals and the diseased genius of the mastermind Lex Luthor, the last son of the planet Krypton found love in headstrong reporter Lois Lane, but their romance was a complicated and ultimately doomed one.
In time, Superman began to think he could releive the planet of it's own short-sightedness* and pledged to remove all nuclear weapons from the Earth, but the gamble proved fruitless and after a great battle, Superman became disenfranchised.
Though he would continue to serve the planet and oppose it's great evils, Superman chose to become more of a recluse, and steadily severed all ties with Lois Lane in his guise as protector and his civiilian guise of Clark Kent.
Now, several years later, Superman feels a longing for his own life, but as he will discover, life for Lois has never ceased moving forward"
We then pan down to the Kent farm to Clark waking up (deleted scene), pets the dog, flies off on patrol, and begin our movie. You can tell I'm a massive Trek IV buff with the whole "short-sigtedness" bit |

I'm well underway on a third edition workprint of this and I've made some slight tweeks
-Richard and Lois no longer chat about Superman's height, build, weaknesses or powers. Superman hasnt been away in this cut. Ever. This should be world wide knowledge by now.
-I'm sort of torn on this next one, so would like input. Should Lois still ask if Clark has found a place to live yet?
-Lex Luthor reveals the kryptonite to Lois after saying "front page news", originally it cut off after he said "once again the press underestimates me", but after viewing the Man of Tomorrow Fanedit sample I realized it flowed a lot better
