NAPOLEON DYNAMITE “Napoleon is more of a ladies’ man than Superman is. I’m not quite as earnest as Superman, not quite as much of a rogue as Solo.”
ON THE ROCKS “I’d be impressed if a girl drank Jack and Cokes with me … and tried to keep up!”
FIGHT RIGHT “You can’t make everyone happy. And someone shouting at you doesn’t mean you’re wrong. What matters is maintaining your integrity.”
TOTAL SUCKER FOR… “Confident women. The world is filled with people uncomfortable in their skin. So someone who hasn’t got a front on is very attractive. I don’t date much. I’m more of a relationship guy.”
PUCKER UP “I was a pretty awkward kid and really didn’t have girls fancying me. My first kiss was outside a dance when I was 12, and it was one snog and out!”
SUPERMOVES "When I go somewhere where there’s music playing, I’m not the guy who runs to the dance floor, I find it awkward. But after a few drinks, I definitely enjoy a dance. Is it a strength or a weakness? I don’t know, I’ve been told some good things from time to time, but I’m no John Travolta by any means.“
CHILL DOG “My pet’s name is Kal. Not Kal El, like Superman, just Kal. He’s an informal dog.”
POWER WOMEN “Strong women are nothing new for the comic book world. I’m glad they are being represented a bit more in film and on TV. Wonder Woman has been around forever, she is an incredibly strong character. She can go toe-to-toe with Superman sometimes.”
SUPERMAN’S LOBSTER: LOIS LANE OR WONDER WOMAN “This is a very long discussion because there are a lot of questions to be asked and answered. I mean who is better for a super-powered alien, a human or a goddess? Yes, the goddess can do all the normal things, which we would think are normal in a relationship, and not have any fear of Superman. But you also need to have that baseline of humanity, which Lois provides. And literally keeps his feet on the ground, keeps him down to earth. So that’s more of a debate than an answer.”
BINGEWORTHY SCOTS "I watched a TV show recently that I thought was absolutely spectacular: Outlander. It’s so good I watched it from beginning to end in almost one night. I couldn’t stop. Jamie is a Scottish Superman, for sure!
BOXERS OR BRIEFS UNDER THAT CAPE? “Superman is a polite Kansas boy and would never tell you either way. It would be un-gentlemanly to discuss.”
I disliked how Lois was portrayed in this situation. She could have done more than just touch his face and say “no” over again.
The man she loves is about to go on a suicide mission. They’ve nearly drowned, Doomsday is tearing the world apart, Diana is holding him as long as possible and they are all in total shock and just trying to survive.
She has no superpowers. Cannot physically stop him. Just literally pulled him from the water so he didn’t drown. He’s eerily calm because he’s decided and realized that he finally understands what his father meant all along and that even if humanity rejects him humanity is worth both living and DYING for and she is the center of his world.
What pray tell would you have this woman do in this moment of stress and peril in the 10 seconds she has to process this? She’s being tender with him trying to get him to look at her before he goes on a suicide mission and she’s saying “no” not because she doesn’t care or something but because she probably wants him to stop and think and consider another way. She spent the entire movie proving how much she loves him. Being the only person who never gives up.
And yet….that’s still not enough for people. She’s not allowed to act like a real human being in a moment of shock trying to stop the man she loves from a god damn suicide mission. I guess she’s supposed to just sit there and nobly accept his death without trying to stop him? Or make some kind of grand speech? Just give him up for the greater good without that moment of struggle? Where is the humanity in that?
I dislike that no matter what this woman says or does—in virtually any medium bc this film is just the newest BS—that it’s never enough for people. Never. It wouldn’t matter what she said or did. Someone would find something wrong with it. It’s too much or not enough. She can never win with anyone. That’s what I dislike.
The scene is pure and genuine. It’s a moment of humanity in a movie bogged down with CGI and often lacking humanity. They are the humanity in this movie which is ironic since they are the ones who seemingly get the most shit from fandom. And yet they are what is good and pure in this movie. Their love, even in this last moment, is good and pure. Protect them at all costs.
television meme → Lois and Clark “Lois, I have loved you from the moment I saw you. I love your humour, your passion, the way you just dive right in, even when you shouldn’t. Because you refuse to just watch the world. You demand that it be a better place, and, because of you, it is. Clark, you’re my best friend. Until I met you, I never had a best friend. And falling in love with you has been so easy, I don’t know why I fought it so long. You have such gentle grace and such quiet strength and mostly such incredible kindness. I’ve never known anyone with as pure a heart.”
When I found out I got the part, I was home playing World of Warcraft. Zack called, and I thought he was calling to let me down easy. But then it dawned on me that he was giving me the part. I had to play it cool. Be appreciative, respectful, professional. But the second we hung up, I just sprinted up and down my stairs cheering and whooping like a madman. I kept looking in the mirror, going, ‘I don’t believe it. I’m Superman? I’m Superman!’ Henry Cavill for Details Magazine (2013)
