In case anyone does not know the backstory for Supes 3...
...Reeves had been trying to incorporate Bizarro as he wanted to play the villain and the Salkinds said no.
EDIT: Salkinds deny it, but during the production of the Special Edition DVD's, for 1 & 2, the idea for a third was Luthor finds Mxyz and they create Brainiac. The blowout with Donner changed it into Vaughn, Pryor and Vulcan Satillite/Super Computer. With Donner and Mank still involved with 3, we could have had all four in one film.
Later versions also wedged in Supergirl for the spinoff. She was dropped and they went with Lana Lang.
...Since Chris was to direct Supes IV, he wrote Bizarro in as a precursor to Nuclear Man. I can't recall if they shot it, but it did make it into the comic adaptation.
I don't know what their Bizarro hangup was as they used him extensively on Superboy.
