Superman II (1980)

Question: This was in the Richard Donner cut: Why does Lois want to expose Superman's identity? That and why doesn't she think it through? She's risking the safety of his family after all.

Answer: Like many reporters, she feels she has an obligation (and the right) to uncover the facts, even though it could potentially cause harm.

Answer: I never got the impression that she wanted to expose him, more that she just wanted him to admit it to her. Even if he had turned into Superman when she jumped out of the window, no one would have seen that, and she could have kept his secret.

Superman II (1980)

Question: How does Superman know who Zod is when he is in the bar with Lois and the President makes the emergency broadcast?

Answer: Superman was well educated regarding his home planet's history. All this information was left for him by his parents at the secret installation at the North Pole.
