@@SteelNight7 Superman's actual super power is "Hope". When he needs to do whatever it is that needs doing, he just hopes he can do it and does it. It's like his capability scales with increased levels of hope. Like how the Hulk gets stronger as he gets angrier. Now, this isn't the LITERAL explanation of his power, but as a character in a story that is his power. Over the decades his power levels have shifted and we've over explained the strongest superhero but it really all boils down to hope. And honestly? It symbolically makes really good stories, and that's what we love most about him. When his theme song heroically starts up, you get hyped, the hope climaxes, and you explode into cinematic triumph.

I agree completely. There is something that the Snyder movies didn't really capture (until the the Snyder Cut I think) of Superman which is apparent in the Timverse. There was a bit too much edge to him as a norm in the former, whereas the latter had his more angry and human parts come out when it made the most impact. It was the opposite of the 'The Joker is scariest when he stops laughing' Supes is scariest when he just doesn't have anymore faith in you.

Yes, yes, yes. I agree 100%, Superman Returns has always been underrated, and I never understood why. I still periodically rewatch it and say to myself “Nope, I still can comprehend why everyone doesn’t like (or love) this movie.”

that is my only problem with the zack snyder cut. they cut the "do you bleed" line superman says to batman. that line was so great considering batman v superman.

The special effect of today is what makes this Superman great. You can do so much more to show how strong he is, and they have the right actor to pull it off.

IMO the best Superman flex is when he lifts an entire continent of Kryptonite off of the planet and throws it into space, showing an unbelievable amount of power despite being surrounded by his ultimate weakness.

mate thank you! so glad to finally see someone applying some logic to the whole superhero discussion ''superman cant do this'' ''superman would never win in a fair fight against Batman'' look there cant be a fair fight.. IT'S SUPERMAN a being who have been downscaled in power to fit in the franchise with all the other absolutely great hero's. I'm sure that if Superman decided to clap as frickin hard as he could not being downscaled for story or movie purposes', my guess is that he would create an impact with enough power and friction that would put the downscaled Tsar bomb to shame while also causing a chain reaction of unfortunate events resulting in natural disasters and all sorts of shit.. Yes I'm team Superman so that does have an impact on the way I see this of course but even if I wasn't I would still come to the same conclusion with logic, physics and human biology according to how things work *on earth. I think one of the reasons why people have these mixed feelings on where to stand and who is stronger or who would win this or that is because superman is always scaled too the heroes he is with or the scene he is doing something in which is so vastly different from movie to movie, he has gone through so frickin many iterations (like many other heroes, I know) but if Aqua man picks up a ford truck and slams it somewhere because he is pissed we sit there and smile and in my case gets excited because I apply logic and physics to everything in order to measure how cool it is. I know that shit is heavy and to just pick that shit up and jamming with it or doing something funny that give us as viewers a sense of scale and power we can interpret. Superman on the other hand he is expected to not show any struggle or any other kind of hardship from everyday stuff these heroes go through, which is why amongst many other scenes I won't mention as it's beside the point, scenes like the one in Man of Steel where he saves the guys from the exploding/burning oil-rig, when the metal/ steel pillar starts to come down and he catches it so the helicopter can fly off safely, it annoyed the piss out of me that that was a thing where they tried to convey how strong he is.. bro I don't care if that thing weighted 100ktons it should not be such a big deal for him. in superman returns he lifted a whole continent up from the pacific and flew it to outer space for frick sake, and the mineral composition was mainly kryptonite, hence why the dude fainted and fell from the sky and needed to be treated by paramedics! that is the way you should do it, but in a smarter more modern way. why do you think one punch had to go to a weight in with all the other heroes and do all these physical test, yes he scored poorly in all his test because he was so overpowered and the universe he's in cant fathom a being being that strong and the test was not meant for someone as strong as him, so every test was faulty or the equipment where and no one expected it was him (except one). but for those seeing the series it worked like a charm, it showed his power in a way we can absorb and in some way we can sort of relate to. One punch is perhaps a little odd example because it's a series about a dude who has insane fights where we see his power all the time but I just wanted to mention the fitness test as a way they could test superman too as the universe he's in knows who he is (sort of at least) but have no idea what he is capable of, I am sure he is not even fully aware himself. A scene that stood by me to this day from when I was younger was the scene with (correct me if I'm wrong here as I'm bad with names) Johnny flash from fantastic four, where they build a heat chamber to withstand the heat he would produce, yes he ended up melting the cooled and ventilated titanium chamber as he was reaching 4k kelvin or approx. 3700 degree Celsius or for you crazy Americans approx. 6800 Fahrenheit also added that had they not stopped him he may have gone supernova which is simply the end of a suns life where it explodes and emits more energy then the sun would have in its entire lifespan over a short span of time. I'm rambling and English is not my first language so bare with me if you have made it this far - but I think to conclude; that we need, whether or not we are team superman or not a test - the world forces should go together and develop a test program to test how capable, how strong whatever they can come up with of insane great visualizations of *who and what are Superman and what is he capable of. Yes just like One punch he may end up destroying every test even though they are build for him in mind and not the averrage4 joe but with the world forces combining their tech, and top scientist and mathematics and everything between they would be able to come up with an idea on how to get an estimate of his powers *AND weaknesses and log all that data and convey that to us viewers in the simplest of forms *not being able to comprehend what those numbers are, when people in science of any kind lose their composure and are mind blown by the data presented, that his grip pressing force measured 2 mil pounds pr. square inch before the measuring equipment failed and the friction and air molecules evaporated everything within 100 meter or a water compression test, as we all know as a rule of thumb *water cant be compressed ** but it can so seeing him compress water to a state where it's known properties changes and the physical state turns from a liquid to a solid state with different properties or to a crystalized phase like Ice 6 would be so frickin sick, you best believe I'd be watching that at least a 100 times.. seriously I can go on about this so I wont bother you anymore, I also have to mention I have ADD so I may have gone off topic and there may be places where I'm talking about something and then talking about something completely else, sorry for that, hope you get something out of this even if it's just a laugh - If you got this far let me know if you got something to discuss and I'll get back here for a good discussion - to anyone wanting to be rude, aim for *over my head so I can have a chuckle (I wont respond to rudeness unless it's justified and or slightly smart - byeeee

Superman's biggest flex ever is the bar scene in Man of steel. Not of his strength but of his restraint.

Superman taught me how to code. He taught me how to be Lex Luthor.

His mere existence is a permanent flex 🙃

The best (#1) flex is when Superman in "Superman Returns" stops the bank robbers and stops a bullet with his eye at point blank range.

I always felt they were onto something with Superman Returns and the idea that a core challenge for Superman is he's practically a God, but isn't. He's so powerful that he feels the responsibility to save everyone and fix everything... but in the end he's a man. So he's still finite and limited and thus in his own eyes is always failing and falling short of his own expectations.

I completely agree with the superman returns being underrated

When Superman was fighting the Justice League he could have easily ripped them into pieces and left them laying on the ground. He showed great restraint.

Superman's real weakness is his genuine moral code. No one would even get a chance to deploy kryptonite against him if he just killed his enemies at the first sign of trouble or stopped bringing the worst ones to jail and letting them get additional chances to escape and try again.

Well said Agreed 💯

CRIMINALY UNDERRATED, YES! Superman Returns is AWESOME!!

God, I wish they would make another Henry Cavill Superman movie and let him be funny. The actor is hilarious, and Superman is supposed to be snarky.

Every time I see that "What does the S stand for?" scene, I can't help but to see Nicolas Cage's face in Lois' Lol!

I love Henry Cavill as an actor, but his Superman always looked like he was about two seconds away from having a psychotic break and rage killing everyone in the room. Brandon Routh's portrayal was very humble, which is more in line with the character, but perhaps a little too soft to be inspiring. Christopher Reeve was the best combination of both, with an almost comical amount of "big blue Boy Scout" thrown in for good measure.

Dr. Manhattan is the real flex. Wouldn't last a second to him.

Okay. Clearly you two never read Doomsday Clock. Dr. Manhattan himself pointed out he couldn't hurt Superman. He failed so hard to erase Superman that the universe itself fought back and at the end Dr. Manhattan freaking dies. So yeah. I'd Dr. Manhattan dies from the universe punishing him...

I remember going to the theatre and watching Christopher Reeve in what I consider the best Superman movie ever created. Now than being said I will admit that Henry Cavill is an amazing Superman and he is the only one that should do it from now on. I will also admit that I did enjoy Brandon Routh's version of Superman.

You forgot the biggest flex of all. In the original movie he flies around the earth so fast that not only does he change its rotation, but he turns back time, too. He’s so powerful that he defies logic and physics.

You didn't know that all you have to do is reverse the rotation of the Earth and it will turn back time? You don't even have to reverse the revolution around the sun, or the sun around the galaxy, or the galaxy around the supercluster. etc. Nope, just make the Earth spin backwards. And don't worry, slowing down and reversing Earth's rotation that quickly, won't have any negative effects!🤣

@@somersetcace1 Sometimes it is necessary to put science in fiction, and sometimes its best to just let a super hero be a super hero for the entertainment value. When I saw that scene as a little kid I got all hyped about it and I didnt care that it was actually stupid. I still dont, but hey be a spoil sport for someone else if that is what makes you happy.

I love how he can throw Batman with the flick of a finger, now with that amount of strength and the other powers that he has, just makes him the OP superhero of all DCEU.

I gotta say, I think Henry Cavill is my fave Superman. Even among the legendary Superman actors from back in the day.
