Go reread the Abrams script. A LOT of that is at play here.
Gave the script a quick glance, read some more about it online, and... uh... wow.
Seriously, this is Superman we're talking about here. Bolting on a bunch of horseshit that looks pulled from The Phantom Menace, flipping between Krypton and Earth, Luthor as a Kryptonian... none of it is necessary. Fuck it, go pull John Byrne's Man of Steel run, make a flick out of that. Or, since we all know who Superman is, fuck the backstory - do it as a bunch of comic panels during the opening credits, with the film opening up with a fully established Superman stopping crimes in Metropolis. Brainiac invades Earth, Superman fights an increasing amount of robots, has a big showdown with Brainiac, saves the day, done. For the sequel, Luthor creates Bizzaro, and they both take on Superman.

This shit isn't rocket science, it's comic books.

For what its worth, all I keep hearing is how pleased they are with The Man of Steel. And no, all the insane "Krypton never exploded" and "Lex is a CIA agent/Kryptonian" is not what I'm referring to.

They were pleased with Superman Returns until a month before release.
