Superman Quotes - page 3

James Brown is the perfect example of flashy but classy. Classy doesn't have to mean boring. His gear was flamboyant but without being so over the top. The cape was probably the biggest part of his persona. He looked like Superman. (Mayer Hawthorne)
My absolute favorite growing up was 'Super Friends.' The assemblage of so many mighty heroes in one place was, to me, mind-blowing. It was Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, and then sometimes Hawkman and some other, lesser heroes. View quote
Michael Ian Black
I read Superman comics when I was a kid. View quote
Robert Vaughan
I'd like to rescue people in trouble, like Superman. View quote
Sheridan Smith
For a lot of people, Superman is and has always been America's hero. He stands for what we believe is the best within us: limitless strength tempered by compassion, that can bear adversity and emerge stronger on the other side. He stands for what we all feel we would like to be able to stand for, when standing is hardest. View quote
J. Michael Straczynski
I can easily come up with ten really iconic stories/trade paperbacks for Superman, Batman, others... name me ten equally big, iconic Wonder Woman stories. Much harder. That ain't the character's fault, that isn't sexism, that's just not servicing the character. View quote
J. Michael Straczynski
On a purely personal level, it's very strange, because as a kid, Superman informed my personality. Now I've been given the job of forming Superman's personality and, in some ways, drawing on my own background. View quote
J. Michael Straczynski
.. you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent. View quote
Leonard Cohen
Television is not the exclusive target of promoters. Is Superman really worthy of a Newsweek cover? View quote
Phil Donahue
I didn't know the Green Lantern comics at all. I was a Superman reader. View quote
Geoffrey Rush
Someone told me that there's a connection to Superman, that in an early edition of the Green Lantern comics, Tomar Re was the envoy to Krypton. That was fascinating to me. (Geoffrey Rush)
You misunderstood my words when I said that Michelangelo was a stupid artist... Because I have drunk from another source and a new and marvelous thirst burns my lips – how can I still believe in such artists?! I know what you are thinking when you ask me: 'isn't David a superman? This is how I used to feel, this is what I used to think. The majority of the world's great spirits thought it so.... but now a new air has entered my soul, a new song has reached my ears and the whole world appears totally changed – the autumn afternoon has arrived, the long shadows, the clear air, the serene sky –, in a word: Zarathustra has arrived, do you understand??.... It is only with Nietzsche that I can say I have begun a real life. View quote
Giorgio de Chirico
What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. View quote
Christopher Reeve
The superman exists and he's American. View quote
Alan Moore
Walk amongst the natives by day, but in your heart be Superman. View quote
Gene Simmons
Now, having a play on the same bill with a play by the one and only, the good and great, the impish and noble, the man and superman, George Bernard Shaw, is for me an honor, and I think a most fitting thing. View quote
William Saroyan
It is, not to put too fine a point on it, a piece of propaganda ... Superman punched out Hitler. So did Captain America. That's one of the things they're there for. View quote
Frank Miller
The great thing about Batman and Superman, in truth, is that they are literally transcendent. They are better than most of the stories they are in. View quote
Neil Gaiman
The star rating system is relative, not absolute. When you ask a friend if Hellboy is any good, you're not asking if it's any good compared to Mystic River, you're asking if it's any good compared to The Punisher. And my answer would be, on a scale of one to four, if Superman (1978) is four, then Hellboy is three and The Punisher is two. In the same way, if American Beauty gets four stars, then [The United States of] Leland clocks in at about two. View quote
Roger Ebert
You'll fold faster than Superman on laundry day. View quote
Jerry Seinfeld
And that's when I realized, when you're a kid you don't need a costume, you ARE superman. (Jerry Seinfeld)
Small boys everywhere know that in a fight between Superman, James Bond and the Terminator, James Bond would win. Well, it's the same story in Star Wars. In a fight between the Enterprise, Stingray, Thunderbird 2 and the Millennium Falcon, the Falcon would reign supreme. It just would. The end. View quote
Jeremy Clarkson
think about it: Romeo and Juliet bucked the system, and look where it got them. Superman has the hots for Lois Lane, when the better match, of course, would be with Wonder Woman. View quote
Jodi Picoult
There's some illogical part of me that still believes if you want Superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving. View quote
Jodi Picoult
For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously. He's not from another planet, or filled with radioactive gunk. I mean, Superman is essentially a god, but Batman is more like Hercules: he's a human being, very flawed, and bridges the divide. View quote
Christopher Nolan
