It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s our expectations for James Gunn’s Superman actually going through the roof!

The rumors are true: superheroes are back in business. Audiences may have felt fatigued by the constant comic book adaptations in the 2010s, but David Corenswet’s kind, sweet, and righteous performance as Clark Kent reminds us that the classic superhero story isn’t dead—it just needed a minute to reconfigure itself to fit today’s modern context. Superman proved that’s still possible.

So to celebrate the revival of the DC universe, here are the 10 best quotes from Superman (2025):

1.

Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan): You think everything and everyone is beautiful.

Superman (David Corenswet): Maybe that’s the real punk rock.

2.

Pa Kent (Pruitt Taylor Vince): Your choices, your actions, that’s what makes you who you are.

3.

Superman (David Corenswet): I’m as human as anybody. They’ve always been wrong about me. I love. I get scared. But that is being human. And that’s my greatest strength.

4.

Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn): The one thing that liberals and conservatives can finally agree on is that Lex Luther sucks.

5.

Superman (David Corenswet): Hey Buddy. Eyes up here.

6.

Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan): You have a flying saucer, but you couldn’t get a faster garage door?

Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi): I haven’t worked on that yet.

7.

Lex Luther (Nicholas Hoult): My envy is a calling. It is the sole hope for humanity, because it is what has driven me to annihilate you.

8.

Superman (David Corenswet): The ship my parents sent me was damaged in transit, so I only ever heard the first part of the message. And I believed I knew how it ended—that my parents had sent me here to serve the people of Earth and to be a good man. I’m not here to rule over anybody, Lois.
