June 28, 2010: Cary Bates Recalls "Superman V: Superman Reborn"

    "It was during my tenure on that [Superboy TV] series that I showed Ilya a treatment I had written on spec the previous year for a Superman movie," Bates said. "The premise involved a new take on the whole Brainiac-Kandor portion of the Superman mythos. As it turned out, Ilya and his father Alexander Salkind had already been considering returning to Superman since the one-picture option they had given the Cannon group (which resulted in Superman IV) had expired. Using my treatment as a starting point, they commissioned me and Mark Jones [the other story-editor on the Superboy series] to write a full script."
