Right it reminds me of the old A-Team show when cars would roll like 10 times after getting shot up and the people would just crawl out and shake there head's and have not even a scratch on them.
Person who talks in the video. You're ignorant about the "save Martha" scene. Stop fitting in the crowd of "that scene was gay". You should know way better than that. Superman thought batman was gonna kill him and before he died, all he could think about was his mother who lex was gonna kill. It was just pure coincidence that batman mom was named Martha as well. Why didn't you understand that? At least when you make a video, dont diss the scenes that you are ranking as badass.
That “Oh shit,” look is so classic…lol Especially because he’s holding freaking Wonder Woman in one hand and Aquaman in the other while Cyborg is trying to push against him lol
I remember being in the theater when Reeves made that 1st appearance in the blue and red suit. The screams and the applause rivaled thor's appearance in Wakanda or when Cap wielded Mjolnir. It was chilling and exciting.
Same here. I was 6 years old when my parents took me to see SUPERMAN THE MOVIE in theaters back in 1978. The hair still stands on my neck when I see that moment over and over again on my laptop.
The same in in the UK. I was 10. The moment I never experienced before in a movie. Superman caught Lois falling from the Heli and she said "if you've got me, who's got you?". When he caught the Heli in one hand and holding Lois in the other, I tell you the entire audience applauded and we're still doing so until he gently placed the chopper on the roof. It took our breath away. My neice couldn't stop talking about Supes not only catching up with the jumbo jet but they way he put it down in the baseball stadium. Her little face lit up and I remembered my 10 year old self. But when he picked up that cancerous chunk of Kryptonite, I couldn't get enough of the displays of mega strength. This scene, well I just watched the bullets bouncing off and the eye shot. I just didn't expect that his eyes are bullet proof too.
@@malbourne805 hands-down anytime I ever see Reeve as Superman and hear that music the hair stands on the back of my neck as well. No other film superhero has ever elicited that sort of emotion as far as I’m concerned. The Richard Donner Superman films are iconic and will never be surpassed. And Reeve is the BEST to ever portray the character.
Superman has always been my only hero. I’ve tried to live my life morally as he would . I’m not a child anymore at 71 ..but in trying to live up to his moral compass I have the respect of my family, my friends, acquaintances wherever I go. All because of a comic superhero.
Are you also disappointed that George Reeve was not brought up? George was the Superman who was faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's Superman Yes, Superman. A strange visitor from another planet. Disguised as Clark Kent, a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, he stands for truth! Justice! And the American way! ua-cam.com/video/Q2l4bz1FT8U/v-deo.html
Superman Returns - Lifting that huge Kryptonite land mass should have made this list. First he's almost killed by Luthor with a Kryptonite shiv and thrown in the ocean. No sooner has he been saved by Lois he returns to stop most of America being destroyed. Knowing that it would probably kill him again but still putting the world first, that's Superman in a nutshell.
It showed what a true hero he was. He was fighting trained soldiers just as powerful as he was. I can't even imagine fighting a several trained soldiers as a civilian.
I loved the flight scene in MoS. It started like the comics - leaping over buildings in a single bound - as he tested the waters. Then yup... eventually, flight. Sonic boom and all.
I can’t remember if he actually flew in the old animated show when he was fighting Nazis. It was leaping everywhere before flying. Or I guess flying invisible jets for WW. 😆
Fav. Moment in first christopher reeves superman 🦸♂️ at the end when he flies into space, looks left, looks right and smiles at the camera. "I got this" moment. Perfect
I personally think his speech in the animated justice league unlimited final fight with darkseid is the best. "That man won't quit as long as he can still draw a breath. None of my teammates will. Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am." This was superman being a bad ass.
I looked it up because of your comment but I couldn't help but laugh at the fact he says people could die if he doesn't hold back then he punches Darkseid through many buildings, likely killing many
My favorite Superman scene is from Man of Steel. When he's forced to kill Zod in order to save the family who are about to be burned. The agony and pain in his scream was hauntingly beautiful. It exemplified everything Superman stood for. And eventhough he never wants to take a life, his human side shows the pain he bears from being forced to do so.
My favorite Supes moment is him against Darkseid, explaining how he always holds back, like the world is made of cardboard ... Animated Supes, sure. But still EPIC
Yeah! That deserves a mention. There's one where he knocked out Darkseid in the 1st episode of the JLA season 2 IIRC. That's why it's so sad Zack Synders universe has come to a halt cos it'd be badass to see Superman take on Darkseid.
@@peluminova2515 There's no reason to have DC heroes 'Roided out. DC is the label that BENEFITS from showcasing the heroes as standing apart from "mere mortals". Look at the animated Batman and Superman, as well as the JLA. NONE of them were ever shown roided out or unapproachable ... but the challenges they faced would have destroyed mortal humans by flexing a pinky finger.
The airplane scene in Superman Returns is one of the greatest, most sharply edited, most beautifully conceived and executed action sequences in any film ever. It also epitomizes perfectly what Superman is about - saving people. I think this film is woefully underrated.
@@kelvendyson1508 no guys.. The scene where superman flies himself underground and then picks up the ENTIRE San Andreas fault is what supe is all about. Hes underground in heat that would melt iron, while picking up a mass the size of a mountain range. Ive paused the video so many times at the moment he has the san ANDREAS fault over his head. Its one of the most badass scenes ever. WATCH THE SCENE HERE !! 1:58 SECONDS TO 2:03 SECONDS ua-cam.com/video/3oIQCt6GVcY/v-deo.html
Heh, s’ funny as Homelander’s just a wimpy pretender compared to the Man of Steel. You’d honestly be surprised at the fan art that people make where Superman takes care of Homelander and other pretenders easily
Totally agree I personally think superman returns is one of the best superman movies to date and Brandon Roth plays cracking part, massively disappointed they didn’t cast him again.
The confused Superman in sweatpants facing the Justice league with Wonder Woman was epic. Especially the scene when he side-eyes the Flash trying to run around him, done all in slow-mo. Epic stuff.
The Superman, bullets bouncing off chest has been done many times, but none so well as the one in superman returns. I love the bullet in the eye at the end, a very original touch.
Superman returns is highly underrated. Routh was great and the CGI was fantastic. My favourite scene is when he’s been saved by lois and he’s weak. Than he fly’s through the clouds to absorb the sun. His eyes closed and with the beautiful score is such a great scene.
There’s so many in that movie I don’t understand it was hated to me it was really superman like him being loved not to dark but just dark enough nd the hope throughout the movie was just golden. Favorite parts when he saves the plane nd when he’s flying saving metropolis nd his son pushing the piano
Highly underrated? Its literally one of the worst superhero movies of all time. The cgi alone doesnt make a film good. Even mcu films are better and thats a very low bar
Spot on with the number one. Can’t really put into words quite how the audience reacted to that first scene of Superman catching Lois and then the helicopter. It was magical. Cheering, wild applause, laughter..just a fantastic moment in cinematic history. Another great, great sequence is when Luthor communicates with Superman through the ear piercing, high frequency soundwave. The sequence where Reeve jumps out of the window, changes into Superman and then does that glorious sweeping arc is, in my opinion, the single best flying special effect in any Superman movie, of any era. There’s just something really special about that shot that elevates it above all the later cgi effects. Add in Gene Hackmans brilliantly dry voice over and that’s another classic scene, in a movie that’s packed full of them.
I can only imagine. I wish I could have seen that movie when it first came out as a kid. There was nothing like it before in Cinema up to that point. The first real Super Hero Movie. I know the posters at the time stated, "You'll Believe a Man Can Fly" and they sure did make people believe! Another scene that I love is when Superman catches the thief scaling the building at night.
I think my favorite was 2013's Man Of Steel with Henry Cavill. The story brought Superman "down to earth" so to speak. Showing his struggle as a child to understand exactly who he was was touching , and brilliant. Though I was never really particularly fond of Kevin Costner, I believe his portrayal of Johnathan Kent , was just spot on magnificent.His depth , and wisdom as the Father of a living miracle from space, was truly inspired. My Favorite by far.
@@DVankeuren then you're just living in a bubble. The beauty of comic-book characters is that they can be portrayed in multiple ways from different perspectives to represent different ideologies, themes and psychologies. Those people are narrow-minded who are stuck to just one perspective of a thing.
The helicopter save is hands down the BEST hero intro Nothing has come close in 44 years And if you say it has, you haven't been around long enough to have seen the original 😁
Superman: "Don't worry ma'am, I've got you" Lois: "But who's got you?" That moment was just amazing, well aside from the whole flying with Lois through the night later, but what a GREAT way to introduce the world to what was about to come!
Well, I could argue that the opening Scene in Superman Returns was the best I've seen. He hears about trouble with the space shuttle flight, instantly flies up there, uses his eye lasers to detach the space shuttle from the jet, saves the out of control air force jet and all its passengers, puts it down in baseball stadium to cheering crowds, rips off the door, sees Lois and makes that funny quip about how flying is still the safest way to travel. Simply awesome opening with state of the art special effects after a 20 year absence
That first appearance of Superman in 1978 cause my eye balls to drop into my lap! That visual moment isn’t CGI and yet for me it still the best introduction of a superhero.There have been plenty of scenes in comic book movies over the decades of time but that magic of believing a man could actually fly so good makes that scene priceless!
@@ratfinkie62 yes! But I’m talking about with all the hype about believing a man could fly! It was done beautifully! I grew up watching George Reeves with the same background as he leaps out on to a mattress and Kirk’s was done with animation.
I was only 8 years old when Superman hit the screen in 1978, so obviously Chris would be my favorite. But there's a lot to appreciate from Routh and Cavill. All three were great in their roll and I appreciate the behind scenes of putting together these films. It's a lot of work and I commend their dedication and effort.
The fact that the only Superman I will ever feel inherently SAFE around is Brandon Routh, speaks to the integrity of the character himself inasmuch as the way he's portrayed.
He had the potential to be a Great Superman, but unfortunately, the script he was given to work with could have been better written and he was held down by trying to imitate Christopher Reeves Superman performance. It was certainly a good imitation, but I feel if Routh had been given more freedom in his performance and given a script that wasn't trying to be a sequel to Superman II but instead its own thing, I think his Superman film would have been a big hit.
The death scene in Batman v Superman. To start with the "You are my world" to Lois tears at your heart. Slamming the spear into Doomsday, getting impaled himself then forcing it further into himself to put the spear all the way through Doomsday. That's sacrifice, that's a hero.
My all time favorite Superman scene is the last scene of Superman The Motion Picture. When he’s flying in space and is looking out and all of a sudden he smiles at the camera and flies off. They tried to recreate it in Superman Returns but Christopher Reeve kills it!!!
They did a little bit of it again with Brandon Routh, in The Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths cross-over event. Knowing that the Superman portrayed there is meant to be the older Superman of Christopher Reeve's portrayal, adds a nice touch to it.
My all time fav is Superman meeting his father and flying in MoS. Beautiful dialog over beautiful scenes amongst beautiful scenery with cool vfx and flying.
One scene that stuck out for me was in Returns. Supes was heading out to sea to find Lois but realized there was a huge fissure heading towards the city. For a moment you saw him hesitate… save her now or head back and save millions in Metropolis leaving her at risk. You saw the love he had for her but also the responsibility of being Superman.
My absolute favorite is number 2!! That scream and anger that superman normally holds back, was unleashed and you see just how powerful he really can be.
Christopher Reeve's scream still haunts my dreams. Luther is DAMN lucky that Superman chose to turn back time instead of hunting down the man who killed his love.
yeah I think we had a taste of Dark Superman when the Justice League first woke him up in that movie and he didn't know who he was yet...I swear the theater dropped to absolute zero when he delivered his "Do you bleed?" line to Batman
@@davari9032 Not even close. Cavill's Superman was anguished at having to make a hard choice to save others and worn out from his battle. Reeve's was a terrifying howl of sheer rage and anguish that was one second away from tearing the entire world apart just to kill Luthor.
That scene was so dumb. First, sure, the scream of anguish is great, but it's completely undone by Superman, well, undoing it. Plus, flying around the Earth backwards really fast reverses time?! Of all the shark-jumping bullshit Hollywood has ever unleashed, that was probably the smelliest.
@@Tantalus010 Yup lol. From that point on, there was no problem he could not over come, no matter how large or how small. That's called "writing yourself into a corner". Every moment before and after that was meaningless because he could just go back in time and fix it right? 😂
I remember watching the first superman film with my dad. Coming out of the cinema thinking I could fly ….. being a kid was the best time ever. Now I’m 50 and still that kid in me never leaves me !!! Happy days … can’t wait for a new superman film 👍🏽😀
Totally agree. i am 54, and have the same memory. Very similar to coming out of watching Rocky 2. I was not an overly athletic kid, but no joke, i was so stoked, I ran full speed, at a sprint all the way home. I had no idea I was capable of doing something like that. I remember the feeling of being impressed with myself, being able to run like that. it wasn't anything impressive, just not something i thought myself capable of. Something primal about what Superman, and Rocky tapped into for young minds.
The 1st time Christopher Reeves caught the helicopter in the Superman 1 movie, was a childhood memory I still cherish. Everyone in the cinema jumped out of their seats crying & screaming with joy, & there may have even been popcorn etc being thrown around too. Ok maybe I'm over exaggerating, but I remember it was an incredible moment I'll never forget.
You should have included the scene from Superman Returns where Lois, Richard and Jason were in the ship sinking and then you see the boots hit the window and the iconic music hits and Superman looks to the sky and lifts them out of the water, gives me goosebumps everytime. Man I wish they would have done a Superman Returns 2. Brandon was great.
We have to realize it’s a generation thing. Reeves was our Superman, but Henry is it for this generation. I hope he’ll get to be Superman one more time. Warner Bros is trash!!
Especially impressive given that the island was built out of grown kryptonite (that was still growing!) and he was already gravely wounded by a kryptonite shank in his back.
The scene when Superman saves Lois Lane from falling to her death from on top of the Daily Planet is how you introduce a goddamn super hero to an audience. Epic scene.
"You've got me....who's got you???" Superman chuckles and carries Lois and the helicopter safely to the rooftop and then reminds her that flying is still the safest way to travel. That line was so great that it was reused in Superman Returns when he put the plane down in the ballpark.
@@LAALLARD Oh yeah, I remember that now that you mention it. For me Superman Returns spends way too much time on the relationship between Superman & Lois that the rest of the movie suffers. Though I do like the original Jimmy Olson playing a bartender in the movie.
What I didn’t like about the helicopter scene, is that Clark leaves the building and realize there’s a commotion, crosses the street and changes to Superman. Then flies off. The problem is that they make it look like he’s miles away and the Daily Planet has hundreds of floor, or Superman was flying extremely slow. Also, would the spot where Superman is holding the helicopter be strong enough to support the weight of the helicopter? It’s like the plane crashing scene where Superman stops the plane from crashing in the baseball field. Would he really have been able to stop the plane or would the whole thing just disintegrate around him?
@@danieljette7409 the scene is he at the daily planet but he’s behind the crowd most building in the downtown area take up about six addresses so it didn’t make him seem like he was down the street if look you see ppl running past him scared as he approach the phone booth
Man of steel is a masterpiece so to is all of Zack Snyder universe Bryan’s airplane sense is one of the best moments in all of the live action superman film’s
Superman reversing time was the coolest thing i ever saw as a kid and stayed with me. The bullet off the eye in Superman Returns was a nice touch never touched on before.
I can’t believe I never watched most of the og super hero movies , that’s gonna be on my list now the super man saga. Zach Snyder went overboard with justice league , it’s amazing .
Man of steel is my favorite Superhero movie. I think Henry’s portrayal was well written because it shows Superman’s more human side and doesn’t crack jokes every 3 seconds!
My favorite scene was when Superman was screaming for vengeance after Lois Lane died, the scream which could have led Superman to be a villain with heart ache. I can imagine during that scream of anger turns Superman's blue and red suit transitioning to black while flying to go after Lex Luther to annihilate him which could have been cool.
Lord, that was a fantastic compilation. Superman was always my favorite hero of them all. I was in the theater watching Avengers Infinity War, and the scene in Wakanda where the heroes are being overwhelmed by the Star Striders, I yelled out, "THEY NEED SUPERMAN!!" I got several laughs, but the truth is in my heart, I wanted to see Superman save the day. In the Schnyder cut of the Justice League, when Steppenwolf's axe hits Superman instead of Cyborg and he says "Not impressed" I screamed "YESSSSSSS!!" so loud I scared my room mate.
Actually one of my all time favorite Superman scenes in any of the movies is the deleted "Return To Krypton" scene in Superman Returns, where he flies a crystal ship all the way there just to almost die as he finds a blown out shell of a planet with a vast amount of Kryptonite everywhere in the debris.
It is great to see that the fortress of solitude made it to Lois and Clark and Smallville series. They used the same set (with a few modifications) all along the series.
Dude, I thought you were gonna show the part where Christopher Reeves was chasing down the missiles. Christopher Reeves first appearance as Superman was dope, his fit of rage turning back time when Lois Lane died was dope, him taking those bullets at point blank range was dope. You could've added the part where he had to sit back and watch his father dad die during that tornado, that was a very sad scene. Still, this was a dope video. You made me want to watch all these movies over again. 👍
I agree with almost all the moments mentioned. However, I myself would have ranked a sequence not mentioned into the top 10: In “Superman Returns” when he saves Metropolis near the end. We see him use almost all his powers in one sequence alone. Faster than a speeding bullet? He flies super fast from the ocean into the city to save civilians when he first uses his x-ray vision to see the ground under the ocean opening towards the city. With that speed, he flies in to first stop the Daily Planet’s humongous globe statue from crumbling many people on the street. Then as he flies through the city, Superman notices glass falling so he flies upside down and uses his heat vision to break down the big pieces of glass into smaller pieces so that the people won’t get cut. Superman then notices fire coming from under the pipelines in the city, heading towards a gas plant. Superman flies underground, faster than the fire, stops in front of the gas company and blows cold air towards the fire to put it out. C’mon man, how was this sequence not in the top 10?
When he screams to lex luthor, “where is she!!!”. And when he takes down the terrorist leader in nairomi africa as he tries and threaten supes while keeping lois lane on the tip of his gun in BvS. When he was shown saving people across planet from disasters and people reacting to him as a deity in BvS. When he comes to see and torture Batman during the knightmare sequence and his army bows down before him in a bunker in BvS. When he breaks general zod’s neck, and when takes the first flight in MoS. When he manhandles steppenwolf in ZSJL. And many more from the zack snyder’s trilogy
While the Martha scene showed his selflessness, I think the death of Superman in BVS showed his determination and courage more. It definitely belongs on this list.
Yes, right. Or say, Save Martha scene and his death, both showed Superman's selflessness to us and the world, his world. Especially to Batman because he was the only who witnessed Save Martha scene too. That's why he changed and stopped killing and redeemed his faith in mankind after Superman's death. Superman's death made Superman the greatest symbol of hope for the world, even though he was no longer there among the people of the world.
I'd like to add 3. 1) Superman actually doesn't know how to fight. In Superman 2 after Clark gives up his powers, he gets his @$$ kicked. That was amazing. Why would Clark know how to throw up a block, dodge a punch or watch his back? As Superman, he could stand there and let any human break their bones trying to punch or kick him (as he does later). But the scene where poor helpless Clark gets beat up easily is amazing. 2) Superman 2- When Zod breaks into the White House, the President kneels and says "What I do now I do to protect the people of the World... but there is one man on Earth who will never kneel before you." That gave me chills. Even a world leader respects his power and what he means to the human race. 3) Man of Steel- when Zod takes off his helmet for the first time and his senses are bombarded. Clark has had years to get used to dealing with his super senses, it's a great scene to see how this affects another Kryptonian fresh off the boat. I often wondered why superman used doors at all, how does he tone down his xray vision to see a thin wall or another obstacle in his way?
The scene that stands out the most to me in the recent movies is the scene where Clack, as a teen gets bullied by his peers. They push him against the fence and get him to kneel down. He never laid a finger on them, but seeing the bent poll as he walked away from the fence was incredible, and shows humility.
Not sure who here is old enough to remember when George Reeves played Superman. Superman standing in front of the bad guys as they unloaded their submachine guns on him as he had his fists on his hips and thrusting his chest out to show everyone how manly he was just before he ducked out of the way as someone threw a .38 at him was always the iconic Superman for me. (And, yes, totally hilarious.)

The black suit helps him heal faster
@@whynot9771 yes it does on the account that it absorbed the Sun's uv rays faster and holds them longer kinda like batteries.
My fav Sup moment was when Barry Allen aka The Flash realizes that Superman can see him in the Speedforce in Justice League...
Good one. To us, we see Superman slowly lock his eyes on Flash then try to grab to him. To everybody else all of that interaction was just a blur.
That “Oh shit,” look is so classic…lol
Especially because he’s holding freaking Wonder Woman in one hand and Aquaman in the other while Cyborg is trying to push against him lol
Barry wasn’t in the Speed Force-

Man of Steel... The smallville fight. Badassery on high levels.
Exactly what I was thinking. It was so well done.. damn
It showed what a true hero he was. He was fighting trained soldiers just as powerful as he was. I can't even imagine fighting a several trained soldiers as a civilian.
True story
Badassery, but a bad decision. Why did he take the fight from an isolated corn field to downtown Smallville that was full of civilians.
An amazing fight
I loved the flight scene in MoS. It started like the comics - leaping over buildings in a single bound - as he tested the waters. Then yup... eventually, flight. Sonic boom and all.
I agree 👍🏿
Really like the sonic boom effect
I can’t remember if he actually flew in the old animated show when he was fighting Nazis. It was leaping everywhere before flying. Or I guess flying invisible jets for WW. 😆
That scene is bloody beautiful
Yes! It felt the most convincing that it could really happen
Fav. Moment in first christopher reeves superman 🦸♂️ at the end when he flies into space, looks left, looks right and smiles at the camera.
"I got this" moment.
Perfect
I personally think his speech in the animated justice league unlimited final fight with darkseid is the best. "That man won't quit as long as he can still draw a breath. None of my teammates will. Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone.

Definitely. He still didn't want to kill Darkseid, but was totally at the point where he'd had enough.
I looked it up because of your comment but I couldn't help but laugh at the fact he says people could die if he doesn't hold back then he punches Darkseid through many buildings, likely killing many

Animated Supes, sure. But still EPIC
Yeah!
That deserves a mention.
There's one where he knocked out Darkseid in the 1st episode of the JLA season 2 IIRC.

There's no reason to have DC heroes 'Roided out.
DC is the label that BENEFITS from showcasing the heroes as standing apart from "mere mortals".
Look at the animated Batman and Superman, as well as the JLA.
NONE of them were ever shown roided out or unapproachable ... but the challenges they faced would have destroyed mortal humans by flexing a pinky finger.
But you can take it big man can’t you? This is one of those rare moments…
The airplane scene in Superman Returns is one of the greatest, most sharply edited, most beautifully conceived and executed action sequences in any film ever. It also epitomizes perfectly what Superman is about - saving people. I think this film is woefully underrated.
Good call!! I put it up there with the scene from the 1978 movie where Superman was chasing the missile!!
@@kelvendyson1508 no guys.. The scene where superman flies himself underground and then picks up the ENTIRE San Andreas fault is what supe is all about.
Hes underground in heat that would melt iron, while picking up a mass the size of a mountain range.
Ive paused the video so many times at the moment he has the san ANDREAS fault over his head. Its one of the most badass scenes ever.
WATCH THE SCENE HERE !!
1:58 SECONDS TO 2:03 SECONDS

Christopher Reeve will always be the quintessential Superman but I have to say Superman Returns with Brandon Routh was hugely underrated
Henry Cavill, all the way. But Dean Cain actually wasn't that bad, during the TV show run, in the 90's.
I agree Christopher Reeve is the one and only Superman.
HENRY CAVIL AFTER REEVES....Ruth was a mess 😂
Totally agree I personally think superman returns is one of the best superman movies to date and Brandon Roth plays cracking part, massively disappointed they didn’t cast him again.
Routh was an excellent Superman.
I place him at #2 behind Reeve..
The confused Superman in sweatpants facing the Justice league with Wonder Woman was epic. Especially the scene when he side-eyes the Flash trying to run around him, done all in slow-mo. Epic stuff.
Yeah, that scream Christopher Reeves did was truly memorable. You can see the pure emotion, such a good actor.
Guttural
Definitely, you might even call it a back breaking performance.
Reeves is a LEGEND!!!
@@j-bwitch agreed
yeah, the scream is one of the strongest moments in film history...and life.
The Superman, bullets bouncing off chest has been done many times, but none so well as the one in superman returns. I love the bullet in the eye at the end, a very original touch.
The black suit, the speech, the flight...i am so glad we got the Snyder cut!
Christopher Reeves end scene bar fight in Superman II.
"I've never seen garbage eat garbage before..."
My bullied in school self LOVED that scene.
🤣🤣🤣
AGREED! that first appearance of him in the 70s. was AMAZING! i remember seeing it when i was a kid and it was AMAZING!
Superman returns is highly underrated. Routh was great and the CGI was fantastic. My favourite scene is when he’s been saved by lois and he’s weak. Than he fly’s through the clouds to absorb the sun. His eyes closed and with the beautiful score is such a great scene.
Yes yes... all day long yes. The lifting of the new island too
There’s so many in that movie I don’t understand it was hated to me it was really superman like him being loved not to dark but just dark enough nd the hope throughout the movie was just golden. Favorite parts when he saves the plane nd when he’s flying saving metropolis nd his son pushing the piano
Was a boring story tho
Highly underrated? Its literally one of the worst superhero movies of all time. The cgi alone doesnt make a film good. Even mcu films are better and thats a very low bar
@@vegeta9727that’s your opinion. Unfortunately, it’s an incorrect one.
Spot on with the number one. Can’t really put into words quite how the audience reacted to that first scene of Superman catching Lois and then the helicopter. It was magical. Cheering, wild applause, laughter..just a fantastic moment in cinematic history. Another great, great sequence is when Luthor communicates with Superman through the ear piercing, high frequency soundwave. The sequence where Reeve jumps out of the window, changes into Superman and then does that glorious sweeping arc is, in my opinion, the single best flying special effect in any Superman movie, of any era. There’s just something really special about that shot that elevates it above all the later cgi effects. Add in Gene Hackmans brilliantly dry voice over and that’s another classic scene, in a movie that’s packed full of them.
I can only imagine. I wish I could have seen that movie when it first came out as a kid. There was nothing like it before in Cinema up to that point. The first real Super Hero Movie. I know the posters at the time stated, "You'll Believe a Man Can Fly" and they sure did make people believe! Another scene that I love is when Superman catches the thief scaling the building at night.
Meh.
I think my favorite was 2013's Man Of Steel with Henry Cavill. The story brought Superman "down to earth" so to speak. Showing his struggle as a child to understand exactly who he was was touching , and brilliant. Though I was never really particularly fond of Kevin Costner, I believe his portrayal of Johnathan Kent , was just spot on magnificent.His depth , and wisdom as the Father of a living miracle from space, was truly inspired. My Favorite by far.
no, they did Supes wrong with that movie. Superman is not supposed to be down to earth, nor is he supposed to be dark.
@@DVankeuren - Never read the Injustice series, I take it
I watched Christopher Reeve Superman back in 1978 he will always be my Superman
@@DVankeuren then you're just living in a bubble. The beauty of comic-book characters is that they can be portrayed in multiple ways from different perspectives to represent different ideologies, themes and psychologies.
Those people are narrow-minded who are stuck to just one perspective of a thing.
The tornado that took Johnathan Kent. He could have been saved, but at too great a cost for his son.
Powerful scene.
My favorite badass scene is when he tricked Zod and crushes his hand... get chills evertime I see it lol
The helicopter save is hands down the BEST hero intro
Nothing has come close in 44 years
And if you say it has, you haven't been around long enough to have seen the original 😁
Superman: "Don't worry ma'am, I've got you"
Lois: "But who's got you?"
That moment was just amazing, well aside from the whole flying with Lois through the night later, but what a GREAT way to introduce the world to what was about to come!
Well, I could argue that the opening Scene in Superman Returns was the best I've seen. He hears about trouble with the space shuttle flight, instantly flies up there, uses his eye lasers to detach the space shuttle from the jet, saves the out of control air force jet and all its passengers, puts it down in baseball stadium to cheering crowds, rips off the door, sees Lois and makes that funny quip about how flying is still the safest way to travel. Simply awesome opening with state of the art special effects after a 20 year absence
Truth right here. Nothing beats him catching the helicopter.
"You've got me! Who's got you?" I've always loved that line.
RIP Margot Kidder...her contribution to the franchise is underrated
Her exasperated yet incredulous look when she replied to what Superman said just nailed the scene.
That first appearance of Superman in 1978 cause my eye balls to drop into my lap! That visual moment isn’t CGI and yet for me it still the best introduction of a superhero.There have been plenty of scenes in comic book movies over the decades of time but that magic of believing a man could actually fly so good makes that scene priceless!
The first Superman was Kirk Allen in the’40’s.
@@ratfinkie62 yes! But I’m talking about with all the hype about believing a man could fly! It was done beautifully! I grew up watching George Reeves with the same background as he leaps out on to a mattress and Kirk’s was done with animation.
I vote for "Not impressed" - black suit Superman versus Steffenwolf from Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Steppenwolf
I was only 8 years old when Superman hit the screen in 1978, so obviously Chris would be my favorite. But there's a lot to appreciate from Routh and Cavill. All three were great in their roll and I appreciate the behind scenes of putting together these films. It's a lot of work and I commend their dedication and effort.
The fact that the only Superman I will ever feel inherently SAFE around is Brandon Routh, speaks to the integrity of the character himself inasmuch as the way he's portrayed.
Good call cause reeves had some crazy in him too
Brandon Routh's movies are kinda slept on. Man he looked so much like Reeves and his movies had that classic look and vibe.
He had the potential to be a Great Superman, but unfortunately, the script he was given to work with could have been better written and he was held down by trying to imitate Christopher Reeves Superman performance. It was certainly a good imitation, but I feel if Routh had been given more freedom in his performance and given a script that wasn't trying to be a sequel to Superman II but instead its own thing, I think his Superman film would have been a big hit.
as a kid i thought brandon routh is christopher reeves son
@@rajgandhi3358 Man seeing him almost brings a tear to your eye.. Loved both actors and he embodied Reeves so much.
When Superman squeezes and crushes General Zod's hand at the Fortress of Solitude
I didn't like that. Too cruel. If it gets out that he might crush peoples bones, people might fear him. That's batman's bag.
The death scene in Batman v Superman. To start with the "You are my world" to Lois tears at your heart. Slamming the spear into Doomsday, getting impaled himself then forcing it further into himself to put the spear all the way through Doomsday. That's sacrifice, that's a hero.
The late & great Christopher reeve's scream was epic. and the look on his face.. real actor! using real emotions
#2 ALWAYS GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS, EVEN AS A KID. Long live Reeves!
Man of Steel is a masterpiece...🔥
Factz
Always will be
It's my favorite Superman movie tbh and superman is my favorite dc character
Yes mos is masterpiece
All it needed was a health bar for Metropolis 😂😂
My best loved Superman, played by Brandon Routh. The flashback of his teenage days in smallville learning how to fly is simply too good.
My all time favorite Superman scene is the last scene of Superman The Motion Picture. When he’s flying in space and is looking out and all of a sudden he smiles at the camera and flies off. They tried to recreate it in Superman Returns but Christopher Reeve kills it!!!
They did a little bit of it again with Brandon Routh, in The Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths cross-over event. Knowing that the Superman portrayed there is meant to be the older Superman of Christopher Reeve's portrayal, adds a nice touch to it.
Routh got the role in Superman returns partially because he looked a lot like Reeve.
My all time fav is Superman meeting his father and flying in MoS. Beautiful dialog over beautiful scenes amongst beautiful scenery with cool vfx and flying.
One scene that stuck out for me was in Returns. Supes was heading out to sea to find Lois but realized there was a huge fissure heading towards the city. For a moment you saw him hesitate… save her now or head back and save millions in Metropolis leaving her at risk. You saw the love he had for her but also the responsibility of being Superman.
My absolute favorite is number 2!! That scream and anger that superman normally holds back, was unleashed and you see just how powerful he really can be.
Then, decades later, the government being concerned about Superman makes complete sense.
How terrifying any being can be is directly proportional to the power possessed by that being when he is angry.
9:33The look of rage on Christopher Reeve's (Superman's) face is almost scary. Incredible acting.
Christopher Reeve as Superman ...for me, growing up, HE was Superman! Still is, he never gave up.
That Scream with Christopher Reeves always gets me I feel it in my soul. He made me believe it!
5:56
"And what does Clarke Kent do?.... Everything that Homelander doesn't"
Lol nice choice of words
I can't help but get emotional every time I see Christopher Reeve as Superman. He has been and always be the best Superman EVER!!!!
Agreed, hard for Me to hold back tears.
Agreed! It brings back great memories from my childhood.
No he isn't, and no he won't.
he's the best just like Sean Connery to James Bond
Nostalgia juice goes hard.
Christopher Reeve's scream still haunts my dreams. Luther is DAMN lucky that Superman chose to turn back time instead of hunting down the man who killed his love.
yeah I think we had a taste of Dark Superman when the Justice League first woke him up in that movie and he didn't know who he was yet...I swear the theater dropped to absolute zero when he delivered his "Do you bleed?" line to Batman
Cavil's scream>>>
@@davari9032 Not even close. Cavill's Superman was anguished at having to make a hard choice to save others and worn out from his battle. Reeve's was a terrifying howl of sheer rage and anguish that was one second away from tearing the entire world apart just to kill Luthor.
That scene was so dumb. First, sure, the scream of anguish is great, but it's completely undone by Superman, well, undoing it. Plus, flying around the Earth backwards really fast reverses time?! Of all the shark-jumping bullshit Hollywood has ever unleashed, that was probably the smelliest.
@@Tantalus010 Yup lol. From that point on, there was no problem he could not over come, no matter how large or how small. That's called "writing yourself into a corner". Every moment before and after that was meaningless because he could just go back in time and fix it right? 😂
I remember watching the first superman film with my dad. Coming out of the cinema thinking I could fly ….. being a kid was the best time ever. Now I’m 50 and still that kid in me never leaves me !!! Happy days … can’t wait for a new superman film 👍🏽😀
Totally agree. i am 54, and have the same memory. Very similar to coming out of watching Rocky 2. I was not an overly athletic kid, but no joke, i was so stoked, I ran full speed, at a sprint all the way home. I had no idea I was capable of doing something like that. I remember the feeling of being impressed with myself, being able to run like that. it wasn't anything impressive, just not something i thought myself capable of.
Something primal about what Superman, and Rocky tapped into for young minds.
@@ckmoore101 best days of our lives buddy 👍🏽😁
This is such a beautiful memory! I love this!
The 1st time Christopher Reeves caught the helicopter in the Superman 1 movie, was a childhood memory I still cherish. Everyone in the cinema jumped out of their seats crying & screaming with joy, & there may have even been popcorn etc being thrown around too. Ok maybe I'm over exaggerating, but I remember it was an incredible moment I'll never forget.
You should have included the scene from Superman Returns where Lois, Richard and Jason were in the ship sinking and then you see the boots hit the window and the iconic music hits and Superman looks to the sky and lifts them out of the water, gives me goosebumps everytime. Man I wish they would have done a Superman Returns 2. Brandon was great.
Christopher Reeve, is to me, the best superman actor of all time.
Nope
Tom welling and Henry cavill are better
We have to realize it’s a generation thing. Reeves was our Superman, but Henry is it for this generation. I hope he’ll get to be Superman one more time. Warner Bros is trash!!
Reeves is classic but the main reasons I don't like him is cuz of the 3rd and 4th movies
@@lifeisberserk9566 well that was for the pay by then. However, yes, he was the classic.
I agree number one is the Man of Steel first flight was epic. A masterpiece
“Not the speed of Neymar falling on the ground” literally had me on the ground 😂😭🙌🏻 3:33
Here after he’s injured and now I feel bad for laughing 😭
My favorite badass moment was in "SuperMan Returns" when he picked up the island & threw it into space..
That really showed supermans true strength
Especially impressive given that the island was built out of grown kryptonite (that was still growing!) and he was already gravely wounded by a kryptonite shank in his back.
Superman's "World of Cardboard" speech moments before he puts a thumping on Darkseid. It gives you a look at what life is like for Superman.
OMG I love Superman Returns so much 🥰 I think I saw it about 250 times so far, I just love it.
The scene when Superman saves Lois Lane from falling to her death from on top of the Daily Planet is how you introduce a goddamn super hero to an audience. Epic scene.
I agree. Although I loved MOS, it irritates me that there was no big epic reveal like the helicopter scene.
"You've got me....who's got you???"
Superman chuckles and carries Lois and the helicopter safely to the rooftop and then reminds her that flying is still the safest way to travel. That line was so great that it was reused in Superman Returns when he put the plane down in the ballpark.
@@LAALLARD Oh yeah, I remember that now that you mention it. For me Superman Returns spends way too much time on the relationship between Superman & Lois that the rest of the movie suffers.
Though I do like the original Jimmy Olson playing a bartender in the movie.
What I didn’t like about the helicopter scene, is that Clark leaves the building and realize there’s a commotion, crosses the street and changes to Superman. Then flies off. The problem is that they make it look like he’s miles away and the Daily Planet has hundreds of floor, or Superman was flying extremely slow. Also, would the spot where Superman is holding the helicopter be strong enough to support the weight of the helicopter?
It’s like the plane crashing scene where Superman stops the plane from crashing in the baseball field. Would he really have been able to stop the plane or would the whole thing just disintegrate around him?
@@danieljette7409 the scene is he at the daily planet but he’s behind the crowd most building in the downtown area take up about six addresses so it didn’t make him seem like he was down the street if look you see ppl running past him scared as he approach the phone booth
Man of steel is a masterpiece so to is all of Zack Snyder universe Bryan’s airplane sense is one of the best moments in all of the live action superman film’s
Superman & Lois when he charge power in the sun that was mind-blowing moment
Superman reversing time was the coolest thing i ever saw as a kid and stayed with me.
The bullet off the eye in Superman Returns was a nice touch never touched on before.
That Christopher Reeve scream STILL gives me chills!!!(THE GOOD KIND)👍
I can’t believe I never watched most of the og super hero movies , that’s gonna be on my list now the super man saga. Zach Snyder went overboard with justice league , it’s amazing .
Man of steel is my favorite Superhero movie. I think Henry’s portrayal was well written because it shows Superman’s more human side and doesn’t crack jokes every 3 seconds!
2:18 "He finally meets his father who is super dead" BRUTAL
Thank you for explaining what's going on on the screen, without you it won't be possible to understand such complicated topic.
My favorite scene was when Superman was screaming for vengeance after Lois Lane died, the scream which could have led Superman to be a villain with heart ache. I can imagine during that scream of anger turns Superman's blue and red suit transitioning to black while flying to go after Lex Luther to annihilate him which could have been cool.
Have to agree on #1. And back in the 70s when there were no CGI, that scene blew people’s mind!! 🤯
This is what i like in Hollywood's movies : so many bullets, but nobody hurt, there is no blood 😂
Just like the A-team.
Hes superman bullet proof duh
Man u haven't seen bollywood
@@avinashalmeida5324 again manor steel it's in his name bullet proof
Dafuq are sayin dude?
Lord, that was a fantastic compilation. Superman was always my favorite hero of them all. I was in the theater watching Avengers Infinity War, and the scene in Wakanda where the heroes are being overwhelmed by the Star Striders, I yelled out, "THEY NEED SUPERMAN!!" I got several laughs, but the truth is in my heart, I wanted to see Superman save the day. In the Schnyder cut of the Justice League, when Steppenwolf's axe hits Superman instead of Cyborg and he says "Not impressed" I screamed "YESSSSSSS!!" so loud I scared my room mate.
I think rescuing the bus full of kids in Man of Steel is better than a couple of entries in this list.
Man of steel... breaking Zods neck and feeling completely conflicted about it he had to scream
And the echo sound waves
Actually one of my all time favorite Superman scenes in any of the movies is the deleted "Return To Krypton" scene in Superman Returns, where he flies a crystal ship all the way there just to almost die as he finds a blown out shell of a planet with a vast amount of Kryptonite everywhere in the debris.
It is great to see that the fortress of solitude made it to Lois and Clark and Smallville series. They used the same set (with a few modifications) all along the series.
AND!!! No one gives credit to that musical genius, John Williams, who wrote the original score! GENIUS!!!
My favorite will always be the way he casually breaks out of his handcuffs
No 2 that scream still sends shivers down my back! And then having the power to do something about it
During the "Saving the plane" scene, all I could think about was The Boys and Homelander talking about punching through the hull
Clark has a power called tactile telekinesis which nullifies that issue physics doesn't apply basically.
Dude, I thought you were gonna show the part where Christopher Reeves was chasing down the missiles. Christopher Reeves first appearance as Superman was dope, his fit of rage turning back time when Lois Lane died was dope, him taking those bullets at point blank range was dope. You could've added the part where he had to sit back and watch his father dad die during that tornado, that was a very sad scene. Still, this was a dope video. You made me want to watch all these movies over again. 👍
What courage does Superman need? He is impervious to almost everything.
Superman returns is massively under rated
The turn back time should be number 1 IMO. I get all the feels everytime i see it
The score in the original is EPIC. Still gives me goosebumps.
The closest we will ever be to mozart.
That score just inspires feelings of HOPE!
John Williams hit pretty much every single score he's done right out of the ballpark!
The John Williams score for the first Superman Movie is the GREATEST SUPERHERO THEME EVER!!

@@imyoursuperbeast8220 "dont be ridiculous! im superman!"
I agree with almost all the moments mentioned. However, I myself would have ranked a sequence not mentioned into the top 10: In “Superman Returns” when he saves Metropolis near the end. We see him use almost all his powers in one sequence alone. Faster than a speeding bullet? He flies super fast from the ocean into the city to save civilians when he first uses his x-ray vision to see the ground under the ocean opening towards the city. With that speed, he flies in to first stop the Daily Planet’s humongous globe statue from crumbling many people on the street. Then as he flies through the city, Superman notices glass falling so he flies upside down and uses his heat vision to break down the big pieces of glass into smaller pieces so that the people won’t get cut. Superman then notices fire coming from under the pipelines in the city, heading towards a gas plant. Superman flies underground, faster than the fire, stops in front of the gas company and blows cold air towards the fire to put it out. C’mon man, how was this sequence not in the top 10?
Excellent video, commentator was freaking hilarious 😂😂. Excellent job brother
Loved the one about Neymar, so true 😂😂😂
5:31. I liked because of this. Best scene for me in Superman Returns. Absolutely nail biting, thrilling and goosepimple evoking.
Superman returns had three of the best superman scenes in all Cinema
This scene, especially we he bust a cap in Supe's eye for crying out loud, was just awesome!
"where is she......" talking to lex luthor when he kidnapped Martha
Your top 2 were my top 2 as well. Nothing beats that scream.
When he screams to lex luthor, “where is she!!!”. And when he takes down the terrorist leader in nairomi africa as he tries and threaten supes while keeping lois lane on the tip of his gun in BvS.
When he was shown saving people across planet from disasters and people reacting to him as a deity in BvS. When he comes to see and torture Batman during the knightmare sequence and his army bows down before him in a bunker in BvS.
When he breaks general zod’s neck, and when takes the first flight in MoS.
When he manhandles steppenwolf in ZSJL.
And many more from the zack snyder’s trilogy
While the Martha scene showed his selflessness, I think the death of Superman in BVS showed his determination and courage more. It definitely belongs on this list.
Yes, right. Or say, Save Martha scene and his death, both showed Superman's selflessness to us and the world, his world. Especially to Batman because he was the only who witnessed Save Martha scene too. That's why he changed and stopped killing and redeemed his faith in mankind after Superman's death.
Superman's death made Superman the greatest symbol of hope for the world, even though he was no longer there among the people of the world.
"you dare to threaten my mother" from man of steel 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'd like to add 3. 1) Superman actually doesn't know how to fight. In Superman 2 after Clark gives up his powers, he gets his @$$ kicked. That was amazing. Why would Clark know how to throw up a block, dodge a punch or watch his back? As Superman, he could stand there and let any human break their bones trying to punch or kick him (as he does later). But the scene where poor helpless Clark gets beat up easily is amazing. 2) Superman 2- When Zod breaks into the White House, the President kneels and says "What I do now I do to protect the people of the World... but there is one man on Earth who will never kneel before you." That gave me chills. Even a world leader respects his power and what he means to the human race. 3) Man of Steel- when Zod takes off his helmet for the first time and his senses are bombarded. Clark has had years to get used to dealing with his super senses, it's a great scene to see how this affects another Kryptonian fresh off the boat. I often wondered why superman used doors at all, how does he tone down his xray vision to see a thin wall or another obstacle in his way?
The Neymar comment is the absolute cherry on top! Well done!!
The scene where Superman first appears in the Fortress of Solitude. That first moment of flight felt so real . Awesome scene!
The scene that stands out the most to me in the recent movies is the scene where Clack, as a teen gets bullied by his peers. They push him against the fence and get him to kneel down. He never laid a finger on them, but seeing the bent poll as he walked away from the fence was incredible, and shows humility.
Shows good parenting the Kent's are why Clark is a good dude
pole, not "poll".
Not sure who here is old enough to remember when George Reeves played Superman.
Superman standing in front of the bad guys as they unloaded their submachine guns on him as he had his fists on his hips and thrusting his chest out to show everyone how manly he was just before he ducked out of the way as someone threw a .38 at him was always the iconic Superman for me. (And, yes, totally hilarious.)
Christopher Reeve always give me chills the best ever !
When Superman (Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh) gave smile to the audience at the end of the movie (tv series, for Brandon Routh)
