The film was originally entitled Truth, Justice, and the American Way (after Superman's famous catchphrase). However, DC Comics (which owns the rights to the Superman character) refused to allow that. It also did not allow the Superman "S" insignia to be used in any of the trailers or promotional material of the film, but oddly enough, allowed it to be in the movie.
The film's producers were forced to shoot a new version of the opening credits of the TV Adventures of Superman (1952) when Warner Brothers refused permission for the actual opening credits to be used within the film.
The famous Hollywood sign originally read Hollywoodland, promoting a real estate project in the 1920s. The last four letters were removed in 1949.
The Alvis automobile George Reeves (Ben Affleck) is shown washing in the film is an extremely rare model that was shipped to the location for use in the movie, as it is one of the few existing examples of the car Reeves actually owned.
George Reeves' biographer, Jim Beaver, served as historical consultant on this film, and was offered a role. He was unable to accept, due to conflicts with his Deadwood (2004) schedule. Curiously, two of his Deadwood (2004) co-stars, Molly Parker and Larry Cedar, appear in the film.
"Kenneth Giles: [after defeating villains in a live show] Hey, Superman! Hey, Superman! George Reeves: Well, hello there, young man, what's your name? Kenneth Giles: [brandishing a gun] Kenneth Giles. Can I shoot you? George Reeves: [he sees that it's a real gun and is suddenly very serious] Kenneth, why would you want to do something like that? Kenneth Giles: So the bullet bounces off. Can I? George Reeves: Well, if you did shoot me and the bullet bounced off, it might accidentally hit someone else. We don't want that to happen, do we? Kenneth Giles: No... George Reeves: Why don't you just, you and I... Here we go, partner. Why don't you just give me that? Just hand me that..."
"George Reeves: [about Leonore Lemmon] She makes me feel young. Toni Mannix: [obviously offended] Have you seen yourself, George? Your face is going. George Reeves: Don't do this... Toni Mannix: Here, your eyes, your hair, your stomach. George Reeves: Stop it. Toni Mannix: You think no one notices? George Reeves: Toni, don't do this. Toni Mannix: But you've got your projects, haven't you? You're going to be a director. You'll sit in your little canvas chair polishing your balls. "Thank God I got rid of that hag I had to screw. What was her name? The one who paid for everything! The one who bought me a fucking house!". George Reeves: For God's sake... Toni Mannix: You want publicity? You'll get it. I'll say you're a Red. And a faggot. A lush. Nobody can call that a lie! George Reeves: You know what? You've never helped me. You never helped me! You could've talked to Eddie. You could've gotten me something, but you didn't! Because you liked me where I was, in a fucking red suit! You liked that! Well, that's not who I am, understand? God damn you! Toni Mannix: ...But, George, that's all you were good for. Ten-year-olds and shut-ins. That was the best you were ever going to be. I knew that, why didn't you?"
