Yes, it takes place after the events of
Superman (1978) and
Superman Returns (2006), but discounts most of the "history" established in the third and fourth installments (
Superman III (1983) and
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)). It also features characters used in the comic books and in
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993) that were not used in the
Christopher Reeve films.
