What year is superman returns set in?

i know superman has been gone for 5 years, so dont try to make that your answer. 5 years from what?What year is superman returns set in?I would have to guess 1985 or so. It's not specifically five years, though that is an approximate guess. But it's supposed to be a direct sequel to 1980's Superman 2, and those movies were set in "current time." So, that means that it S2 occurred in 1980, making it 1985ish when Returns is supposed to be set.
