Superman (2025) quotes

View Quote Jor-El: [in Kryptonian] We love you more than heaven, our son. We love you more than land. Our beloved home is soon to be gone forever.
Lara-El: But hope vitalizes our hearts, and that hope is you Kal-El. We have searched the universe for a home where you can do the most good, and live out Krypton's truth.
Jor-El: That place is Earth.
Superman: I don't get it, what's bad about that?
Jor-El: 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-El: 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.

View Quote Kara Zor-El: [to Superman, regarding Krypto] Thanks for watching him, bitch!

View Quote 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.

View Quote Lois: [about Eve Teschmacher] This girl is obsessed with you?
Jimmy Olsen: Uh-huh.
Lois: ...How do you do it, Jimmy?

View Quote Lois: Oh, my God! Why does he always trust everyone?!
Guy Gardner: He doesn't! Just us, because we are also of the cloth!
Lois: "Of the cloth"?
[Guy gestures to his own super-suit.]

View Quote Lois: Ready?
Clark: Let's do it, Cronkite.
Lois: Superman.
Clark: Miss Lane.
Lois: Recently, you've come under a lot of fire for what some might--
Clark: I don't know if it's a lot of fire, but--
Lois: It's a lot. Today, the Secretary of Defense said he was gonna look into your actions in Boravia.
Clark: (exhales)
Lois: That-- that's funny?
Clark: It's not "funny" funny, it's just, um... I mean, come on. My actions? I stopped a war.
Lois: Maybe.
Clark: Uh, not "maybe." I did.
Lois: Okay. How?
Clark: Well, Boravia invaded Jarhanpur, and I showed up and told them that wasn't right.
Lois: And?
Clark: And... smashed some tanks and things and a couple of planes and some other stuff. There were no casualties and no significant injuries.
Lois: Did you interact at all with the President of Boravia, Vasil Ghurkos?
Clark: A very small amount.
Lois: What's a very small amount?
Clark: That was between us.
Lois: (pauses the recorder.) This is all on the record.
Clark: Yeah, but that conversation was between the two of us.
Lois: Yeah, and I would ask that question whether or not I knew the answer to it.
Clark: Really?
Lois: Really.
Clark: (tape recorder beeps) After I stopped the war, I went to see Ghurkos.
Lois: Where?
Clark: In the capital of Luchebic, at the Royal Palace.
Lois: And?
Clark: And I took a private audience with Ghurkos.
Lois: How?
Clark: I flew him out to the desert, and I...
Lois: And you...
Clark: And I placed him against a cactus.
Lois: A cactus? So... torture.
Clark: No. Not torture. Its spikes were like... not even that big.
Lois: What did you say?
Clark: I told him that if he ever messes with Jarhanpur again, he'll have to personally answer to me.
Lois: What did you mean by that?
Clark: That if such events occured, we would have a more serious problem, that's all.
Lois: More serious than tearing up his back on a cactus?
Clark: Ghurkos was gonna kill people. You seem to keep forgetting that--
Lois: So, in effect, you illegally entered a country, inserting yourself in the midddle of an incredibly heated geopolitical situation siding with a nation, Jarhanpur, which historically has not been a friend to the US against a nation that's technically our ally, and then threatened to murder their head of state.
Clark: [overlapping] No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on a second. Jarhanpur has changed. First of all, whether or not Jarhanpur is an imperfect country does not give another nation the right to invade it.
Lois: Yes, but the Boravian government maintains they're freeing the Jarhanpurians from a tyrannical regime.
Clark: Yes, but you know that's very silly.
Lois: I do?
Clark: The Boravian goverment, of all people, is saying this? Come on!
Lois: This is on the record, Superman.
Clark: Now--No. Now, see... Now you're being dishonest, Lois.
Lois: How am I being dishonest? What are you--? Stop.
Clark: [looks for stop button] Where's the button? You're being dishonest because you know as well as I do that the Boravian government is not well-intentioned.
Lois: I think that's almost certainly the case, but do I know that? No, I don't. Can we go on now?
Clark: Yeah, fine. [tries turning the recorder on] I don't-- You do it.
Lois: You think this is going well?
Clark: Do I think this is going well? Um... I think I'm doing a good job.
Lois: Superman, did you consult with the President before entering Boravian airspace?
Clark: [deep, heavy sigh] No.
Lois: The Secretary of Defense?
Clark: No.
Lois: Or any U.S. official before you took matters into your own hands and decided unilaterally how to handle this extremely delicate situation--?
Clark: Ghurkos and his goons were going to kill people!
Lois: Yes, but the results of you seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world! More than a war that lasted between twelve and twenty-four hours!
Clark: [overlapping] I wasn't representing anybody except for me and-- and-- myself and, and, and good! I don't know, doing good!
Lois: It was just replacing one tyrannical regime with another!
Clark: Is that really how you feel?
Lois: 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, consider the consequences!
Clark: PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!

View Quote Pa Kent: Parents aren’t for telling their children who they’re supposed to be. We are here to give y’all tools to help you make fools of yourselves all on your own. Your choices, Clark. Your actions. That’s what makes you who you are. Let me tell you something, son, I couldn’t be… more proud of you.

View Quote Peacemaker / Chris Smith: He thinks he's better than everybody else! It's his declarations against killing people unless it's absolutely necessary. Really, dude? Yeah, it kinda sounds like you're trying to make the guys who are a little more edgier than you look like jerks, you know what I mean? A lot of these guys -- these, uh, heroes in the magazines -- they're obsessed with me. 'Cause I'm more jacked than they are.
