This is one of my favorite moments in Superman The Movie because it was so jarring to see Superman going through these emotions, but it worked because Reeve portrayed Superman as positive and hopeful until that moment.

Superman in BvS doesn't have any good emotions to balance out the bad ones. He's just alternates between moping and anger.

Couldn't agree more. I think it might be the best portrayal of pure fury in any CBM movie ever.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

It's such a raw moment that goes from helplessness to anguish to rage that as a kid I remember being a little shocked by it.

 

[Snake Plissken]

You know what, now that you mention it when I saw it when I was little it actually made Superman a little scary to me

 

[GeneralZodLives]

This is the scariest moment in a Superman movie for me. As a kid this scared the **** out of me.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Which one is that one from? I honestly only saw the first two, bar the fight with Nuclear Man on the Moon

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Superman III

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Superman III is worth watching just for the Evil Superman vs. Clark Kent fight.

 

[Snake Plissken]

It's got Richard Pryor, right? one of these days I'll give the three and four a whirl.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Yeah, Richard Pryor must have needed the paycheck for coke. It has some awful, goofy moments in it, but the good ones make it worth watching at least once. Superman IV makes Superman III look like Godfather quality cinema. Watch it if you must, but even seeing Reeve as Superman one more time can't save it from being ****.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah, what an obtuse choice to stick in a Supe film... any type of comic would be weird. But he was big at the time so...

I saw one of the coolest things I've seen in a while the other day. I didn't take a picture but it was an original 1939 Supermen of America fan club set. It had a patch, pin, and papers documenting membership. They wanted like $800 for the whole set. It was apparently a mail-in rebate from the original superman comics.

I now want a set to save and preserve for eternity lol

That'd be totally worth it

 

[Shawpaw]

It was just like these (per google images) but had a little patch that was with them.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Too bad they stopped doing things like that

 

[Shawpaw]

That'd be totally worth it

It's probably the closest thing I can get to an Action Comics #1 or Superman #1

I know I have one of those somewhere, but it's a replica set. I'd love to get an original unused set some day. I like looking for vintage stuff like that--just wish it all didn't cost so much. I did find a Superman automobile head ornament that I absolutely love. This isn't my pic, but this is the type I have.

I'd love to get a late 30's Mercury to put it on.
