Superman Quotes

I identify with Superman. I am adopted, I am an only child, and I love the idea that he comes from another world, that he’s the ultimate immigrant. He has all these extraordinary powers, and he has a righteousness about him Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I loved the whimsical Superman and Batman stuff, and as a teenager, Marvel was more angsty, and that appealed to me. Marvel dealt with more stuff I could relate to as a teenager Picture Quote #1

Whereas Superman is a godlike guy from another planet and Batman is this mysterious, unknowable billionaire, everyone in ‘Spider-Man’ is human and flawed Picture Quote #1

I’d have to be superman to do some of the things I’m supposed to have done, I’ve been at six different places at six different times Picture Quote #1

I could do Superman, the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, this kind of stuff [at school]. And kids would give me their lunch money to have these things Picture Quote #1

Prior to ‘Action’ and ‘Justice League 1,’ there was no label ‘superhero’ for a superpowered being. It’s really the emergence of Superman and the Justice League that gets the public comfortable with the idea of people amongst us who have extraordinary power and that they’ve agreed to be our champions Picture Quote #1

Like a lot of kids, I had a Superman cake or different theme cakes, but then I hit the age where I think my mom thought I was ready for the German chocolate cake that she makes for my dad. Just the sight of that, the taste of that frosting, just reminds me of being at home with my mom and my dad and my sister and my friends Picture Quote #1

Whether someone else would have played Superman better or worse would be up for a lot of debate on the internet forums, I’m sure Picture Quote #1

I was a big Superman fan, growing up. I’ve always been a big superhero fan Picture Quote #1

I always loved Batman, the Michael Keaton ‘Batman.’ I loved those films, and Superman, but I was never a real comic book geek Picture Quote #1

When I first started lifting I wanted to be a Super Hero.. But that was my motivation. I was huge into comics at a very young age and nothing made me feel better than helping people. So I wanted to build muscle to be like Superman, Captain America, Wolverine, etc Picture Quote #1

When Captain America is in a room full of Marvel superheroes, he is always Top Dog, even though his powers are pretty modest. He could be stood next to Thor, Iron Man, whoever. He is the one that everyone looks up to. To me, that is Superman, too. Even de-powered in the Legion arc, he was still Superman. Still Top Dog Picture Quote #1

The way you challenge Superman is by having things happen very, very quickly in different places and then asking, ‘Who does he save first? What powers must he use to save each person or stop each disaster?’ That’s one of the ways you make him interesting beyond the thematic and moral issues that make Superman Picture Quote #1

The only way to change the world is to quit thinking it’s a job for Superman. Real power lies in your own hands Picture Quote #1

Batman and Superman are very different characters but they’re both iconic and elemental. Finding the right story for them both is the key Picture Quote #1

Christopher Nolan’s astounding third Batman feature, ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ represents the true maturation of the superhero movie - and provides the key to understanding the bottomless craving moviegoers have for these films, 34 years after the Christopher Reeve Superman gave birth to the genre Picture Quote #1

Christopher Reeve so completely inhabited the character Superman when he was in that costume, and that had such a huge effect on me as a child, watching those films back in the 70s. There was so much of that character that was, for me, Superman Picture Quote #1

Superman was my first comic back in the 50s; that was me under the bedspread with the flashlight reading comic books Picture Quote #1

Superman was created in the late 1930s, and humankind’s idea of what the future would be was very different Picture Quote #1

Each woman is made to feel it is her own cross to bear if she can’t be the perfect clone of the male superman and the perfect clone of the feminine mystique Picture Quote #1

I used to make love to Green Day’s music. But 9 minutes? I’m not Superman Picture Quote #1

When Superman was originally created, by Siegel and Shuster, they were two Jewish immigrants that were desperately trying to assimilate into America. They were having a hard time because they were Jewish. They wanted to get in to mainstream publishing but they couldn’t. That’s why they, and a lot of Jewish guys, went into comic books Picture Quote #1

Superman has been around for so long; he’s been around for, what, eight decades now? And he goes through these different eras where different aspects of who he is get emphasized Picture Quote #1

My ever-present mania meant I was never phased by staying up twenty hours a day or by the different time zones. I was Superman Picture Quote #1

It’s not like I walk around being Superman in real life. But when you read the script and put yourself in the position that Superman is in - I mean, he’s always saving the planet, for God’s sake. When you realize that, it’s not difficult to take the gravitas of the situation and make your voice do what it needs to do Picture Quote #1

Everyone enjoys stories of double lives and secret identities. Children have Superman; intellectuals have Wallace Stevens Picture Quote #1

Remember when you’re young and you think your dad is Superman? And then you grow up and realized he’s just a drunk who wears a cape Picture Quote #1

This character matters so much to so many people. I want to get that right. I want to do it justice. I want people to believe in the character and have faith in the character and kids to grow up wanting to be Superman. Or, God forbid, there’s people who are going through hardship and wishing that this character would turn up and save them Picture Quote #1

In this universe of ours, with its wealth of errors and legends, historical data and false information, one absolute truth is the fact that Superman is Clark Kent. All the rest is always open to debate Picture Quote #1

Why is monotheistic faith better than polytheistic? I mean, either you believe - if you believe in, like, a magic person who can do magic things, why is it different - so different if it’s Superman or the Fantastic Four? Picture Quote #1
