Brief Synopsis:
Inspired partially by a scene from the ending of the Superman II redux by booshman, this "fourth option" edit allows you to view the Donner cut of Superman II in almost it's unaltered entirety with yet another alternative outcome, one that does not include the time travel, amnesia kiss, or even the heartbreak of a Lois/Clark break-up.
Intention:
I've grown up a Lois/Clark fan all my life and am a huge fan of their relationship in the comics, and they've never walked out on one another there. They're one of the strongest, most durable married couples on the printed page and I want my movies reflecting that godammit!
Special Thanks:
booshman for his amazing work on Superman II: Redux and inspiring the ending of this edit

I like the movie especially the ending. I don't mind Louis asked for a Pizza, it's nice Clark paid for it. I like you took out Superman destroying Fortress of Solitude. I don't know why he destroy it, he did not even say why? The thing I don't like much is the test footage. Clark is too skinny with different glasses and Louis makeup looks different or too much makeup. But audio & visual is nice. The editing is good .

A labor of love and talent, this great edit combines all that we ever loved about Donner's Superman films with a much more satisfying ending. The modifications really work since you really wont miss anything and just enjoy the ride til the very end, just like it was supposed to. My favorite edit of Superman II and the only one I recommend without reservations.
