The existence of the film within the Archive also raises questions about the "Brandon Routh Cut." Much like the fabled Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut , fans have long speculated about alternate versions of Superman Returns , which reportedly had a longer runtime and darker subplots that were excised to make the film more family-friendly. The Internet Archive often becomes the nexus for these "lost media" searches. It acts as a digital Fortress of Solitude, where the crystals of data are stored, waiting for a historian or a fan to reassemble them. In this way, the Archive fulfills the promise of the "Superman" mythos: the idea that the past is not dead, but merely sleeping, waiting to be awakened by the right person.
