Superman as a film series started to fall off around II. Richard Donner was removed, and Dick Lester was put behind the camera to finish shooting. Dick Lester was much more a comedic director (the man directed the Beatles first two films), and as he continued directing on Superman III and IV, inserted comedic elements that were definitely not needed and undercut the films. Superman III and Superman IV were also not well reviewed.

So what if the downfall of the film series did not occur and, even if not highly critically praised, III and IV were not savaged by critics, and how can that be made to happen? The element of Reeve not being injured and thus being able to participate in an ATL continued series is also there as well.
