Did he give her one?

Some heroes don't wear capes or catch planes, some just give a well-timed hug.

I was in a car accident several years ago and once one of the bystanders saw that I was physically okay but emotionally very shaken, she offered me a hug. That hug was very welcome and definitely helped calm my 22 year old nerves.
thebonesofmyancestors
How funny. When I was in a car accident around age 20 that happened to me. I was shaking like a leaf, but otherwise okay. An old lady just came up and asked if I needed a hug. I did. She hugged. It made everything much better.

Yeah, I would not be put at ease if Henry Cavill hugged me. I'm pretty sure I would be confused, aroused, and wanting.
LuminoZero
RIP, Dan Turpin. I loved the call back when Supes was fighting Darkseid. He took that PERSONALLY.

NarratesTheDarkerStory
Having someone powerful enough to punch a planet around to help you out occasionally is pretty rad though. I'd like one of him around.
jammer909
Sounds like a little something I'm planning for my dad's eulogy whenever he does finally die. "He spent his whole life angry that he wasn't a great man, that he never stopped and realized all he ever needed to be was a good man". I got hit a lot, as a child.
CleverSquirrel
How dare you. How dare you make me relive that scene. Rest in peace, Jack Kirby

Having a Superman, though, doesn't hurt.

it hurts the badguys :3

Although, honestly, far less than, say, Batman or Daredevil.

WE DONT SEXUALIZD ANNIE!!

The fact Alison Brie came out recently as bisexual adds a certain nuance to this scene, and when she and Gillian did the vintage lingerie pictorial in GQ.

Annie's pretty young. We try not to sexualize her.

How many of you would be terribly, awfully scaroused thinking he could crush you like nothing, when he's hugging you?

See Larry Niven's short story, "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." https://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html

Like that scene from the incredibles where Bob threatens to crush Syndromes girlfriend?
3Davideo
You know, I don't remember the movie ever specifying whether they were together or not. Certainly suggested it, though.
Scruffy2
Actually I think you're right, implied, but not stated.
AlmostClever
There's a line from the Justice League animated series (Unlimited, I think) when he's fighting Darkseid and says something like "most of the time I have to treat everything like it's made of cardboard, don't think that's the case with you." I think about that a lot.
Shaodyn
He finally has a chance to really let loose, without worrying about literally pulverizing the other person. After literally a lifetime of holding back.
Areliae
From memory... "I feel like I live in a world made out of cardboard. Always taking constant care not to break something. To break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control, even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you big man. What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose, and to show you just how powerful I really am."
AlmostClever
there it is! what a line!
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
It was such a heavy scene. It was very anime in all the best ways. And watching him absolutely cave Darkseid’s skull in the way he did and force him into using a sneaky Trump card to win was just amazing
TheLastBootyBender
*proceeds to cause millions of damage to the city*
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
I mean, relatively minimal damage compared to what would happen if Darkseid won
TheBigBadBonerBiter
That's in the final episode. Such a boss moment that gets completely undercut by Darkseid pulling a deus ex machina out by way of the Agony Matrix just so Luthor can be the one to save the world. I love me some DCAU but that stands out to me as some ol' bullshit.
CplBUSMC
I like the whole season, and the villains fighting with the heroes on the principle that if "Darkseid wins we're all hosed". The badguys have to live on earth too.
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
Think Atomic Skull says something to that effect
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
I dunno, Lex walking up saying "I'm sorry I'm late, I had to get my power suit." Was kinda awesome and it pretty much completed his arc since Brainiac. Was it odd that the final episode was actually the fulfillment of both the primary antagonist arcs and not any of the heroes? Yeah. But I do think it worked. Mostly because Clark and Bruce didn't really have an arc to go through since Cadmus. The last season was really less connected except Luthor's ongoing plot.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
I'm just saying, giving Supes this big moment about finally getting to let loose only for Darkseid to literally pull some bullshit out of his pocket to stop it kind of makes Supes look like a mook. Maybe the big speech would have been better served in like S:TAS or something. I haven't watched it in a while so I don't remember if he gets an equivalent speech there.
ChazzK
To be fair, I'm pretty sure a *literal god* is allowed to pull a Deus Ex Machina.

It's cuz they were named Regan. I once met a kid named Nixon. Felt sorry for the kid

I always think when I see that, that he's probably hearing the phone hit the ground thinking ah, should've caught that, sorry about the phone...
samuelwestphalia
Until you just said this, I never knew that was meant to be her phone lol. Thought it was a scrap of fabric or something like that. Of course, though, because of the doctor being mentioned. That was her final cry for help. Geez...
...anyways, Supes totally should've caught that phone lol

it often is as bad as it seems, though. if not worse.

What's really big here is that Superman was dying at the time. Yet he still took the time to save people.
StormofWyverns
Cause that’s what Superman does, simple as that.
Sensiblyinteresting
All star superman is one of the best runs of superman. The only run I like more is red sun superman
samuelwestphalia
Have you read "A Superman for All Seasons" by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale? I actually prefer it to "All-Star", though I don't think it's as technically/structurally impressive. But still a very sweet, touching portrayal of Supes

It makes me so sad that modern hollywood bullshit just can't seem to get Superman right. And yet, a single page from a comic can hit it on the head.
GuggelPlayer
Superman & Lois 1st episode intro is THE best live action superman ever
ventiseii
Superman & Lois s4e7 has a scene told entirely in looks as a bullet travels in slow motion and it's honestly the best thing that DC has done with Superman in decades.
JonSnowAKAAegonTargaryen
Hollywood in recent times has failed to understand what makes a character great. Making them human. There is a reason why Batman the Animated Serious and JLU are considered some of the greatest. The heroes are still 'human', and not flawless.
DanSapSan
I trust in Gunn. He was always great at giving humanity to his stories, no matter how outlandish. Also, The Batman was very cool in that regard. The biggest heroic moment in that movie was Bruce learning to not just put fear into criminals, but also give hope to Gotham.
Sypurist
Superman is not a fantasy about how good it would be to have power, but what if someone with power was good.
gablestout
Here's to hoping James Gunn can unfuck DC...
FireSolvesProblems
I got a good feeling.

Watch My Adventures with Superman. Seriously.
ydwyrd
When he dropped what he was doing (trying to track a villain to get some information out of him) to help a crying little girl find her mom, I stood up and cheered, cause THAT is the Superman I signed up for. A man with infinite power who will drop everything to help with even the little things.
dudds6699
Also Superman and Lois.
jayman0123
superman and lois is the superior show, but it's in it's last season. But my adventures with superman is good stuff too
dudds6699
Both are good
thekeyofe
Supes' greatest power isn't his strength, or his speed, or his flight, or his eye beams, or his invulnerability. It's his compassion.
LariCheltsy
And ironically his Humanity
jayman0123
He's not a hero because of the super, he's a hero because of the man
NoNameFred
Lex Luthor is the story of "wouldn't it be good to be that powerful?" Superman is the story of "what if someone that powerful was good?"
Itslukus
I could cry sometimes, when I think too deeply on that...
keelindsey
This is one of the things I loved about the first few seasons of Supergirl. They really showed her compassion, her kindness. Just because you can punch someone into outer space does not mean that you have to solve every problem like that.
samuelwestphalia
I'm happy to know that. I'll put the show on my "to-watch" list :)
LtGenObvious
One of the best moments of season 1 was when she'd lost her powers, and she still talked down a robber while standing in front of his gun barrel, knowing full well it could kill her in that moment.
keelindsey
I love that moment. Powerless, broken arm, still suits up and does what she can. And does it without having to throw a single punch. She appeals to their better angels, when she can.
DirigibleOtter
We don't need a three-hour origin story for Superman. Grant Morrison did it... with eight words... in a cave!
