Trivia: Henry Cavill was considered to play Superman. He'd later go on to play the part in Man of Steel and subsequent movies.
Trivia: While the film received generally positive reviews and decent fan reception upon release, it gained a moderate amount of backlash in the years since its release due to its slower pace and lack of action in the first half. Director Bryan Singer has admitted that the film is a bit too heavy on drama and light on action, and has stated that if he could go back and re-do the film he would have cut out most of the first act to quicken the film, and would have begun the movie with the famous "plane rescue" sequence to grab ahold of the audience's attention early on.
Answer: I don't believe it is. This is a half reboot sequel to the classic Superman 2 movies and other than being a DC character, has no ties to other properties of the DC comic lore. This is more likely just meant to be something funny they could have Parry White say to get a laugh about him bringing up something random and ridiculous meant to be taken seriously.
