The idea of a seemingly directionless Clark Kent roaming the earth, like Cain, is a bit intriguing … but the film has hims doing this, apparently, for 15 years or so … he couldn't find a better use for his powers? I really didn't like the that angle of the film - that Superman couldn't use his powers at all, lest the…

I've been saying it wrong all these years?! Oh, I've wasted my life …

"I'm … not attractive …"

"It's all coming up Milhouse!"

I can't tell you how many times my buddies and I still drop this one into our conversations …

Somewhat obscure Simpsons-reference avatar … a Community connection … Tenacious D … this comment is one Wire-reference away from an AVClub royal flush.

Is he all CGI?

Yeah, I'm pretty amazed in this day and age of on-set cell phone photos and Internet scooping that Vision has been kept under wraps so well …

pleading with the crowd for … for some of sanity …

Still more insightful and cogent than anything Deion Sanders or Michael Irvin bring to the table …
