He goes back to the diner to beat up a guy who now didn't beat him up in the first place. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And taking world back in time to solve the problem of Lois knowing he's Superman is a copout. And how can she be pregnant and have a kid for Superman Returns if she now didn't sleep with Superman? Makes no sense.



The scene beating the guy up in the diner never worked in either version, in my opinion. It was too out of character for Superman. So that for me is a wash.

As far as the other point, let's face it: Singer was bound and determined to put "Super Son" in a movie so he could make his heavy handed, self referential, message about adoption no matter what.
