I was reading, for reasons passing understanding, this message board about the content of the new Superman Returns trailer, and somebody asked why there would be flashbacks to Clark Kent's youth if the movie is a 'semi-sequel' that supposes he has been gone for a few years after the first movie ends. The response was that people need to be reintroduced to the character.
Reintroduced to the character? It's freaking Superman. Hello? Truth, justice, the American way? Unnecessary cape and ridiculous briefs? We know the guy, alright. But that doesn't mean we don't like watching hijinks about learning to fly and seeing gratuitous shots of how flat Kansas is.
And never will.
