Are there any issues that would prevent Superman III from following Superman Returns?.

I'm unique in terms of choosing Superman III as my favorite movie.

So, when Superman Returns erased it from the continuity, I was sorta bummed.

Enter Arrowverse and the, " This isn't the first time I've gone crazy and fought myself", and my hope for III to be canon is restored.

Thinking about it. Couldn't it take place after Returns?. He's not all over Lois in the beginning, and seems more interested in going to back to Smallville than hearing about her trip. He's love struck when he sees Lana. So one could say he's understanding of Richard and Lois.

Thoughts?.
