If only there Salkind's had kept goin! Imagine the Superman v Santa Claus film they'd have made! Awesome article. Thanks for the laughs.

Thanks for reading! And while I have given far too much of my moviegoing money to the Salkinds, I would happily buy a ticket to Superman v Santa Claus. I assume their beef starts when Superman builds his Fortress of Solitude right next to Santa's Workshop and ruins his view. Even worse, the FoS is a huge, garish McMansion that's hardly in keeping with the village's rustic aesthetic.

But they'll have to learn to work together when John Lithgow teams up with General Zod!

Again, that's a movie I would happily see. But given that it's 1985 and Lithgow is last seen in the film floating around in low earth orbit, I'm hoping Reagan's Star Wars system got him.

I'm thinking he got trapped in the two-dimensional phantom zone thing with Terrance Stamp and Sarah Douglas. Sorry for over commenting. Great article once again!
