On the doomed planet Krypton, a wise scientist placed his
     infant son into a spacecraft and launched him to earth.

    Raised by a kind farmer and his wife, the boy grew up to
          become our greatest protector ... Superman.

     But when astronomers discovered the distant remains
          of his home world, superman disappeared.

VOICEOVER (Marlon Brando):
"You'll travel far, my little Kal-El. And we will never leave you, even in the
face of our deaths. You'll make my strength your own, you'll see my life
through your eyes. As your life will be seen through mine. The Son becomes the
Father, and the Father -- Son."
