Only the Extended Cut shows Superman flying around with Jimmy. Also, Superman encourages him to keep shooting.
Superman: "Go ahead, shoot."
For some reason, the subsequent shots of the explosions differ and with the villagers running off, the versions are back in sync - even though the Extended Edition also contains similar shots before that.

Jimmy gets his camera: "Miss Lane?"
He takes a picture but she does not like that.
Lois: "Jimmy, my hair! Now."
Jimmy takes further pictures "Ooh, nice. Nice, nice. Front page, Daily Planet... Oh, gosh. I didn't have any film."

After the shot of Superman up in the air, Lex plays Beautiful Baby on the piano. In the background, Otis lets Miss Teschmacher down so that the "babies" have something to feast on. But Superman gets there in time and saves her. This scene is also available as bonus on previous releases.

Lex: "You must have been a beautiful baby. You must have been a wonderful child when you were only starting to go to kindergarten. I'll bet you drove the little boys wild and when it came to winning blue ribbons I bet you showed the other kids how. I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize. I bet you made the cutest bow. Oh, you must've been a beautiful baby 'cause baby..."
Miss Teschmacher: "But Lex, you can't do this to me. Why, Lex, why?"
Lex: "Because I love you, Miss Teschmacher."
Otis, bevor er sie herab lässt: "Miss Teschmacher..."
After Superman saves her, he also says: "By the way Miss Teschmacher, your mother sends her love."
