Kind of a stretch saying that based on one picture, yes?
Not any more definitive than the rumor, no?

I think Glenn's rumor (for want of a better phrase) is probably true.
WIZARD had an interview with Singer and he did not state the rumor itself, but he did emphasize that a lot of time had passed since the battle with Zod, and that people, including Lois, move on with their lives. He also spoke about the conflict with the new love, and the old love from the past that emerges again. I think the rumor fits that theme-Lois moved on.

It's "real" in the sense that yes, it exists, but not real in any authorized form:
Almost
four years ago, a group of dedicated Superman fans around the world
sent out the call for video recordings of the first televised
broadcasts. Thousands of dollars and countless hours were spent
restoring the footage and reintegrating it into the film. And finally,
the results of their hard work are ready to be seen. The project
leaders have announced that the Superman II: Restored International Cut two disk DVD set has been completed. According to the announcement, the set contains:- The complete two hour, twenty-six minute version of the film.
- On-screen commentary track, detailing what footage Donner shot, and other Restored International Cut trivia.
- Long out of print documentary "The Making of Superman II."
- Long out of print "Superman II Soundtrack."
- "Lost Scene Gallery" featuring pictures of Donner's unreleased work on Superman II.
- "Restoration Demonstration" showing before and after footage examples.
- Complete RIC artwork folder. All the artwork, from the cover to the disc art, it's all included in TIFF file format.
Also included is the following message to Donner, which explains the motivations behind this project:An Open Letter to Richard Donner
Your
work is not forgotten. This restoration project, the Restored
International Cut exists as a tribute to your vision and efforts.
It's
been more than twenty years, and your fans are still patiently waiting
for the real Superman II. Many of us have gone to great lengths just to
get a glimpse of the film we've long been wanting to see. While we wait
for an official release, the bootlegging community has shown no qualms
in charging fans extravagant prices for low quality reproductions of
footage known to exist. It is our hope that this project will offer
fans a more reasonable way of obtaining those scenes.
This
Restored International Cut of Superman II has two main purposes. First,
to give fans the opportunity to see those scenes in the best possible
manner, without having to pay inflated bootleg prices. This whole
endeavor has been done as a labor of love, and is strictly non-profit.
Secondly, to let you, Warner Brothers, and anyone else with influence
know that the fans are still eager to see the rest of your lost work on
Superman II.
Thank you and everyone else who collaborated with
you, for all your hard work on the Superman films. I hope someday, all
the fans of this film will have the opportunity to see the rest of your
vision.
As stated above, the Superman II Restored International Cut
was a non-profit project and thus, it is not available for sale.
However, the creators behind this project want to ensure that Superman
fans everywhere get a chance to see this DVD. Towards that end, free
copies are being made and distributed. And fans are being encouraged to
make more copies to share with others. There is a forum, to request
copies of the RIC, which can be found here. Due to a large number of initial responses, the request list is currently closed, but it should be reopened soon.
A trailer for the Superman II Restored International Cut is already online and can be seen here. It not only demonstrates the restoration of the footage, it also includes a preview of an even more ambitious project: the Superman II Green Cut. The Green Cut
will be a fan edit of the film with spruced up special effects and
reedited, to remove some of Lester's changes, in order to create a film
more in keeping with Donner’s original vision of Superman II.

Sadly, it looks like I will enjoy the S2RIC more than Superman Returns.

That honkin' big forehead on Lois is making me nervous. I think she might be Brainiac in disguise. And her "child" is some kinda killer kid robot. It's the only thing that makes any sense.

That's not a forehead. That's a five-head.
So first Lana has a kid so I guess Lois can get one too. Maybe Superman can sneeze and help the child with bowling.

I would have prefered Evangeline Lilly for the role of Lois. As for the photo, I think it was enhancely enlarged. I don't think Kate's head is really that big. One other thing I found interesting in the photo, it appears the make-up or hairstyle team has applied her with a paste on wig.

**********
Moved on meaning it's not Superman's kid or moved on meaning it's someone else kid?
I hope it's Superman's kid, I know it won't be as clever as JB's Generations series but I hope it could be close. Thoughts?

I'd rather see a brunette wig than a blond Lois.

True. Kate is very pretty and whatever Singer has in mind for her I'm looking forward to it.
