I am still soaring from Superman (2025) — a welcome, fresh start to the DCU. While I expected the film to be entertaining, I could not have predicted (from a story about an alien flying around in his red briefs) that it would be as moving as it was.
Here are some Superman quotes that prove kindness is indeed the new punk rock:
1.
“Your choices, Clark. Your actions…that’s what makes you who you are. I’ll tell you something, son…I couldn’t be more proud of you.”
2.
“I wasn’t representing anyone, except for me! And- and myself! And- and- and… good, I dunno, doing good!”
3.
“Sorry, kid. Superman couldn’t make it, so you got an upgrade.”
5.
“Maybe that’s the real punk rock.”
6.
“Parents aren’t for tellin’ their children who they’re supposed to be. We are here to give y’all tools to help you make fools of yourselves all on your own.”
7.
“Yeah, I…I didn’t want him killing my parents’ cows.”
8.
“You have unconventional toes, who cares? There’s other parts of you that people would find very attractive!”
9.
“Good luck with that.”
10.
“I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get it out of here alive. Get it someplace where we can study it.”
11.
“Good gosh, there’s gotta be a better way to do this.”
12.
PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!
13.
“I think I’m doing a good job.”
15.
“They sent me here to serve humanity and help the world be a better place.”
16.
“I don’t need your help. I’m the goddamn Mr. Terrific.”
And lastly and most importantly (of course):
17.
“That is where you’ve always been wrong about me, Lex. I am as human as anyone….
18.
“…I love, I-I get scared. I wake up every morning, and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other, and I try to make the best choices that I can…
19.
“…I screw up all the time, but that is being human, and that’s my greatest strength. And someday, I hope, for the sake of the world, you understand that it’s yours too.”
