someone green lit it.

Well, plenty.

Taking a broad view, it was budgetary constraints.

The studio that put it together was having serious problems.

They ended up going cheap, cheap, cheap with Superman 4.

It's why the special effects looks so amateurish. Plus the story itself doesn't make much sense.

Yes, you did a good summary.

Didn't a big chunk of the budget suddenly get diverted to some other project(s)? I seem to remember that.

A big part of the budget were the travel expenses regarding the fight scenes on the moon

Controversial opinion, it was the most entertaining superman film. The third was boring.
