I went to Egotastic earlier and discovered that they had a Q$A video from YouTube where Kevin Smith explains his bit in the process of getting Superman on the screen. Before the current incarnation of Superman Returns, there where several aborted attempted to get it to the screen, one of which is Kevin's. Its worth watching as you get a little insight in just how strange Hollywood can be and why such utter obvious crap seems to make it to big screen. The story involves many execs, a no flights or tights policy for the movie, Sean Penn, and Jon Peters. Truly hilarious.
Even more fun was finding other Q&A videos on YouTube.com from various sessions he has done. I highly recommend going hunting for them as Kevin Smith has a gift in telling stories to an audience. Just go to youtube.com, search for Kevin Smith and check out the videos where the thumbnails tend to have a single color background.
Some videos to check out with Kevin Smith:
