After watching the surprise ending to the Donner Cut, I realized SR fits directly into this timeline.
Perhaps Singer (in contact with Donner) was aware of the storyline for the Donner Cut when planning how the SR story would flow.
Basically Superman turns back time on Earth in the end (retconning the Zod Crisis from ever happening...which is why it is avoided in the history presented in the prequel comics).
This also explains why Lois doesnt know that Clark and Superman are the same person.
This allows for Superman to have a relationship with Lois (referenced in the vague history of SR) after the events of Superman II without knowing him and Clark are the same man. After everything that went wrong in Superman II, its understandable why Superman wouldnt want her to know about him being Clark just yet, and probably has devoted himself to doing a better job with the masquerade of Clark (which may explain why Routh's Clark is alot more subdued).
So, I guess it all makes sense now.... or does it?
