From heroic hilarious: 7 most memorable Superman (2025) Quotes
1) “Your choices. Your actions. This is what makes you who you are.” – Jonathan Kent


Clark Kent turns to his adoptive father during a crisis of identity and faith. When he returns to Kansas, he has an emotional conversation with Jonathan Kent. Papa Kent tells him that it is not the duty of parents to tell their children who are supposed to be, referring to the questionable message that his biological parents have left him.
He gently reminds her:
“Your choices. Your actions. This is what makes you who you are.”
This line is a masterclass in emotional resonance, reminding fans that under the muscles and the hypermasculin charm, the true strength of Superman resides in the center of good choices. He wakes up every day and chooses to be good, rather than having him handed over his heroism.
The recall invigorates his courage to stand with humanity. It is also a sweet reminder to the public to look inside.
2) “Hey my friend, eyes here.” – Superman


James Gunn makes the personality of the steel man shine even in chaotic and full of action moments. Example: when Lex Luthor unleashes a monstrous Kaiju in Metropolis, putting Superman with the rescue. After checking the smoke and the rubble for the civilian victims, he takes the giant head on, with a humorous turn on a generally flirtatious dialogue:
“Hey my friend, eyes here.”
From the moment the film’s trailer dropped, this emblematic line cemented the essence of the character of the superhero. He is multiple facets, fully aware of his physical prowess in impressive air fights. However, below, he is fiercely protective, using his mind to distract his opponent to harm more people. David Corenswet embodies Superman, delivering the line with an effortless charm and timing.
3) “My desire is a call.” – Lex Luthor


Each hero needs an antithesis, and no one is better matched for the superhero than Lex Luthor. Through the Superman Films from the extended universe of DC (DCEU), his wickedness grew up to correspond to the emotional resonance of the superhero. It makes Lex Luthor of Hoult the most convoluted villain of all time. He reveals his real patterns in a large monologue while Superman confronts ultraman:
“My desire is a vocation. It is the only hope for humanity, because that is what pushed me to destroy you.”
His frightening admission goes beyond the usual enmity and establishes Luthor as a deceived man. He believes that he transforms his negative feelings to the superhero into a prophetic cause for the greatest good of humanity, without taking into account the disastrous consequences. A single line adds immense depth to the antagonist.
4) “Krypto, what is devil, guy?” – Superman


One of James Gunn’s strengths Superman is the introduction of the Supergirl dog, Krypto. Completely shamelessly in its mischief, the soft white dog is not aware of its full strength. He saves the superhero when he is at his weakest and helps him defeat Lex Luthor, but he also tears the fortress of solitude just for pleasure, forcing Superman to say:
“Krypto, what is devil, guy?”
This creates a funny human moment between a man and his best friend, the superhero returning to the fortress to realize that he cannot leave his dog unattended. He also highlights the deep affection he has for Krypto, who degenerates from rage when Luthor withdraws.
5) “I have not really crossed your writing, Clark. Knowledge is worth many sacrifices. It is not one of them.” – Lois Lane


Clark Kent’s relationship with his colleague journalist, Lois Lane, is an integral part of his scenario. Instead of being a stereotypical female leader who stands while the superhero speaks, Laws assert himself, treating Kent like any other colleague. When she approaches Clark on a thug event, he reminds her that the details are in her article. Without missing a beat, it is again:
“I failed to cross your writing, Clark. Knowledge is worth many sacrifices. It is not one of them.”
Its playful jokes produce some of the best dialogues in Superman. It shows fans from the start that she is not afraid to challenge the thoughts and morality of superheroes, who culminates intensely when she interviews her actions in Boravia. Their relationship is built on a battle of mind.
6) “They have always been wrong on me. I love it. I’m afraid. But it’s human. And it’s my greatest strength.” – Superman


The intense accumulation of the highest point, where Superman defeated Ultraman, has all the fans on the edge of their seats. But it is not only the action sequences that remain impactful, but what he said to Luthor afterwards. He thinks poignantly about his identity, making his vulnerability his true strength, saying:
“I am as human as anyone. They have always been wrong on me. I love it. But it’s human. And it’s my greatest strength.”
It reshapes what it means to be a superhero, showing that the real heroism comes from the choice every day to give your best. It is a succinct summary of what James Gunn’s vision for the superhero is quite and draws the strings from everyone’s heart. After his conversation with his father, he chooses to kiss his human side.
7) “Hope vitalizes our love.” – Lara Lor-Van


The knot of Superman Resides in the damaged message from Kal-El’s parents with which he came to Earth. The superhero replayed him in his fortress of loneliness, holding him like his comfort raft. Although the second half of the message finally becomes its loss, the first half is a powerful reminder of her mother, Lara Lor-Van:
“Hope vitalizes our love.”
Hope is a strong feeling in his trip as a superhero to a safe land where everyone is out of danger. This helps him maintain each curve that is launched and defines his goal. So, with a line at the start of the film, Lara d’Angela Sarafyan feeds the whole film.
