Superman Returns influencing Comics

Superman Returns has taken many nods from it's comic origins, and many feel that it was inevitable for Superman Returns to begin to influence the comics, whether it be artistically or in storylines, and we've already seen some subtle influences show up, including the re-introduction of the crystals to Superman's Fortress of Solitude. In what is possibly the biggest influence yet, Newsarama has posted this page from the upcoming Geoff Johns' "Up, Up, and Away" story arc. Some similarities to note:

* Daily Planet Globe on the roof similar to SR
* Daily Planet Globe at street level
* Wright-influenced pillars inside Daily Planet office, including LCD monitors on them
* The Daily Planet logo on the wall resembles SR
* Perry's office is much like the one in the film

I think it's safe to say that Superman Returns has definitely begun to influence Superman comics. Thanks to Mig El at The Planet for pointing this out this.
