Superman Movie Quotes
Lois Lane
We're so different. I was just some punk rock kid from Bakerline and you're... Superman.
Superman
I'm punk rock.
Lois Lane
[laughing] You are not punk rock.
Superman
I like the Strangle Fellows, the P.O.D.s, and the Mighty Crabjoys.
Lois Lane
Those are pop radio bands, they're not punk rock. The Mighty Crabjoys suck.
Superman
Ah, well, a lot of people love 'em.
Lois Lane
My point is I question everything and everyone. You trust everyone and think everyone you've ever met is, like... beautiful.
Superman
Maybe that's the real punk rock.

Lex Luthor
You piece of shit, alien!
Superman
That is where you've always been wrong about me, Lex. I am as human as anyone. 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. 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.
Lex Luthor
Oh, that's beautiful. But none of this matters, you patronizing clown. The government gave me authority to kill you. If not today, then-

Superman
You're driven by envy, Luthor.
Lex Luthor
No shit. I'm aware envy consumes my every waking moment. I know when they mention Galileo or Einstein or one of these other twits in the same breath as me, I feel a tide of vomit burn the back of my throat! But at least Galileo did something. He wasn't some dopey Venusian catapulted onto this planet just to have the world fawn over him! Because his strength illuminates how WEAK we all really are! So, my envy is a calling! It is the sole hope for humanity, because it is what has driven me to annihilating you! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1! A!

That haircut should be against your vows!

Superman
I'm gonna turn myself in. Maybe they'll take me wherever they took the dog.
Lois Lane
It's just a dog.
Superman
I know, and he's not even a very good one. But he's alone... and probably scared.

Guy Gardner
How do you even know Superman, anyway?
Lois Lane
I... just do.
Guy Gardner
So, you know about the hypno glasses.
Hawkgirl
Now she does.
Guy Gardner
Well, I'm not saying who he is. Just that he wears hypno glasses. They make his face...
[looks at Mr. Terrific]
Guy Gardner
How do they work?
[Looks back at Lois]
Guy Gardner
They make his face look different in your brain when he wears them so that you don't know who he is.
Lois Lane
Yes, I know this.
Guy Gardner
So you know he's Clark Kent.
Lois Lane
Why does he trust everyone?
Guy Gardner
He doesn't; just us because we are also of the cloth.
Lois Lane
Of the cloth?

Gary
[a drunken Kara Zor-El crashes into the Fortress of Solitude] Sir, I think your cousin has returned.
Kara Zor-El
What the hell, dude? Why did you move the door?
Superman
I didn't move the door.
Kara Zor-El
And where is my dog?
Superman
[Krypto flies and pounces Kara as she laughs] Okay, well this is why he has behavioral issues.
🧡

Gary
Sir?
Superman
[seeing Fortress of Solitude become a complete mess] What is this? Krypto!
[Krypto appears and drags Supes's cape by mouth]
Superman
What the hey, dude? I thought you destroyed the whole...
[Turns to his robots]
Superman
Superman robots, I thought I told you to keep an eye on him!
Gary
We feed the canine, but he is unruly. And he realizes we are not flesh and blood and couldn't, in our heart of hearts, care less whether he lives or dies.

[referring to Metamorpho] Maybe he should join the group!
Guy Gardner
Ha ha ha! Please. I mean, no offense, but... that creepy mug is what you want representing The Justice Gang?
Metamorpho
Justice Gang? That's a cool name!
Guy Gardner
You're in.

Lex Luthor
Superman... he's not a man, he's an "it", that's somehow become the focus of this planet's conversation. I will not allow it!

Eve Teschmacher
I thought you wanted to see me, Jimmy.
Jimmy Olsen
I-I do, but Eve, how could I even really see you with Lex still in the picture?
Eve Teschmacher
[upset] You're just trying to get information out of me.
Jimmy Olsen
I swear to god, that's not it. I-I just know that if I could get some real dirt on him, then... maybe the two of us could...
Eve Teschmacher
[lighting up] Could be together again?
Jimmy Olsen
[after a long pause] ... Yeah.
Eve Teschmacher
[Eve smiles for a moment, but looks away upset again] But you said my toes look like someone spilled shrimp cocktail on the floor.
Jimmy Olsen
You have unconventional toes, who cares? There's other parts of you that people would find very attractive!
Eve Teschmacher
Lex tortured a dog the other day.
Jimmy Olsen
JESUS CHRIST!
Eve Teschmacher
I know.

Lois Lane
[Mr. Terrific's T-Sphere finds Superman with Krypto, Metamorpho, and Baby Joey in the pocket universe] Do you have him?
Mr. Terrific
Them. Superman, a mean dog in a cape, a weird baby, and a squiggle man.
Lois Lane
... What?
🧡
👏
🥺

🥱
Mr. Terrific
You brought that dog, man?
Superman
Yeah, I... I didn't want him killing my parents' cows.

Lex Luthor
Superman, we finally meet. Would you like a coffee?
Superman
Where's the dog?
Lex Luthor
Dog?
Superman
The dog, Luthor! You took the dog!
Lex Luthor
[Eve records Superman on her phone] That's right, Eve. Get all of this.
[Superman flips Luthor's desk across the office against the window]
Superman
WHERE'S THE DOG?
Lex Luthor
I have no clue what you're talking about.
Superman
[pause] He's just a dog.
Lex Luthor
I don't know what dog you're talking about.
[holds his mug up to his mouth]
Lex Luthor
[muffled] Ugly dog in a cape?
Superman
What did you say?
Lex Luthor
I didn't say anything.

Superman
[Superman is taken prisoner to the pocket dimension where Luthor is waiting for him] Your obsession with me is getting a little creepy.

Superman
[about Kara Zor-El] She likes to go and party on other planets. Planets with red suns.
Gary
Oh.
Superman
Because of our metabolism, we can't get drunk on a planet with a yellow sun.
Gary
If I had any emotional capacity whatsoever, I'd be concerned about her partying.
Superman
Yeah.
🧡

🥺

🥱
Lois Lane
What's it called again?
Guy Gardner
Justice Gang!
Hawkgirl
Nope.
Mr. Terrific
We're not called that.
Guy Gardner
Yeah, your name is Mr. Terrific. You don't get a vote with a name like that.
🧡

🥱
Guy Gardner
[after the Justice Gang kills the kaiju] Kaiju steaks all around, huh?
Superman
I was hoping we could capture it and take it to an intergalactic zoo or... at least euthanize it less painfully.
Guy Gardner
Come on, bro, don't be such a wuss.
🧡
👏

Superman
[seeing Krypto bash and drag Kara Zor-El violently while the latter is laughing] Okay, well, this is why he has behavioural issues.

Superman
I've been trying to figure out a way to get it out of here alive.
[pause]
Superman
Get it someplace where we can study it.
Mr. Terrific
Oh, come on, man.
Superman
What?
Mr. Terrific
[shouts] Go for its eyes!
Hawkgirl
[Shrieks and Shouts]
[creature grumbles]
Hawkgirl
My knee! Guy, help!
Guy Gardner
I made giant oven mitts!
Hawkgirl
Good for you, asshole! I'm getting blinked to death!
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lex Luthor
I think you overestimate the importance of Jarhanpur to me, Superman. That was just a bonus. I'm not killing you so the Boravian military conflict can proceed. I created the Boravian military conflict so I'd have an excuse to kill you! Once you involved yourself, I knew I could easily get our government's support in nullifying you.
Superman
Why?
Lex Luthor
Because you're destroying us!
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Superman
[a weakened Superman is being taken to a slab to get healed by the yellow sun] Thank you.
Gary
No need to thank us, sir, as we will not appreciate it. We have no consciousness whatsoever. Merely automatons, here to serve.
[gestures to Superman Robot #12]
Gary
Meet Twelve. She's new.
Superman
[looks at Twelve and nods] Hi...
Superman Robot #12
[giggles] He looked at me!

Guy Gardner
You wanna break a federally incarcerated prisoner out of jail?
Lois Lane
Look, I think this is being done to keep him from interfering with the Boravian invasion.
Guy Gardner
No, you look. I'm a Green Lantern, lady. That means I took a vow not to get involved in politics.
Mr. Terrific
Oh, that's part of the vows?
Guy Gardner
It's implied. Yeah.
Mr. Terrific
An implied vow?
Hawkgirl
Every time there's something he doesn't want to do, he says it's part of some vow.
Guy Gardner
Oh I swear to God, I am two seconds away from forming a giant hammer and beating you both to death!

Lois Lane
Okay. What do you know about these biological parents of yours?
Superman
Just that they sent me here to serve humanity and to help the world to be a better place.
Lois Lane
They said that?
Superman
They did. They sent a message along with me. That message is why I do what I do. I cherish it more than anything.
Lois Lane
Because you understand now, there are an awful lot of people out there maintaining you're here for more nefarious purposes. Hashtag Superspy. Hashtag Supershit.
Superman
Supershit! Come on, Lois! You know that one specifically irritates me!
Lois Lane
This is on the record, Clark! I didn't make it up. It's what people on the Internet are saying.

Cleavis Thornwaite
[after the translated second half of Jor-El and Lara's message goes public] But what about all the kind acts Superman has performed over the years, saving countless lives?
Lex Luthor
No. He's grooming us. Lulling us into complacency, so he can dominate without resistance, forging a path for his superpowered descendants to rule the Earth. I will not accept that! Will you?
Cleavis Thornwaite
You seem upset.
Lex Luthor
I'm... I'm scared. I will admit that, I am scared. Because who knows how large his secret harem is already?
🧡
👏

🥱
Vasil Ghurkos
It's no wonder the Kryptonian interfered with Boravia's interests. Boravia wants to save the people of Jarhanpur, and Superman wants to keep them enslaved!
[chuckles]
Vasil Ghurkos
Also, from what I hear, he finds Boravian women the most physically attractive and wants to add them to his secret harem.

Jimmy Olsen
I think it's pretty obvious the goal was kicking Superman's ass.
Clark Kent
He did... He didn't completely kick Superman's ass.
Jimmy Olsen

[the first-half of Jor-El and Lara's message to Superman]
Jor-El
We love you more than Heaven, our son. We love you more than land. Our beloved home will soon be gone forever, but hope vitalizes our hearts. And that hope is you, Kal-El.
Lara
We have searched the universe for a home where you can do the most good, and live out Krypton's truth. That place is Earth.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Jor-El
[the second-half of Jor-El and Lara's message] The people there are simple and profoundly confused. Weak of mind and spirit and body. Lord over the planet as the last son of Krypton.
Lara
Dispatch of anyone unable or unwilling to serve you, Kal-El. Take as many wives as you can, so your genes and Krypton's might and legacy will live on in this new frontier.
Jor-El
Do us proud, our beloved son. Rule without mercy.

Lois Lane
[interviewing Superman] Did you consult with the President before entering Boravian airspace?
Superman
[sighs] No.
Lois Lane
The Secretary of Defense?
Superman
Nope.
Lois Lane
Or... any US official before you took matters into your own hands and decided unilaterally how to handle this extremely delicate situation?
Superman
Ghurkos and his goons were going to kill people!
Lois Lane
Yes, but the results of you seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world...
Superman
[talking over Lois] I wasn't representing anyone, except for me! And- and myself! And- and- and... good, I dunno, doing good!
Lois Lane
[continuing] more than a war that lasted between 12 and 24 hours and was just replacing one tyrannical regime with another!
Superman
Is that really how you feel?
Lois Lane
I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman! But I- I'd question it, yeah! I would question myself in the same situation, and hold off a beat and consider the consequences!
Superman
PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!

Lex Luthor
[after executing Mali in front of Superman] I'll be back later with someone else you've chatted with, and I'll kill them too. Maybe that reporter you always do interviews with. Maybe I'll kill Clark Kent next.
