Did You Know In MAN OF STEEL…

Superman learning to fly is actually a nod back to the first Superman comics. In the movie, when Clark was first learning to fly, he was only able to make a few gigantic bounds. Similarly, in the first few Superman comics in 1938-9, he was not able to fly, but could only leap about an eighth of a mile like a high-powered kangaroo. The first cartoons and movies decided that this looked undignified, and made him fly, giving him a more majestic look.

Best part of the movie when he learns how to fly. He flys all over the globe then space at the end plus the Superman music throughout just a epic scene.

Isn't that where the phrase "Leap tall buildings in a single bound" came from?

I appreciate Zack Snyder for that he always used the comics when making a movie

[rocketblooom]

Knew about that. Every time i watch it, i think about how cool it was to see it and how Snyder put that in. Also felt authentic in a way since it was his first time knowing that he could fly.

Damn...!!! I still need man of steel 2

[ahgksi]

That Learn to Fly scene is one of the best scenes in Cinema history. That music, that vibe, that rage

[BroughtCat]

Zack understood the assignment. #restorethesnyderverse

Masterpiece of a movie. And the score gives you chills.

Such an underrated and overhated movie

I'm realising a trend where older movies are now being truly recognised and many people have come to stop judging them harshly. Man of Steel and The amazing spiderman 2 are great examples.

Best dc comics movie adapted for tv I have ever watched

[weskintime]

It was a radio show that gave him the ability to fly if I’m remembering correctly.

Henry Cavill is just the best Superman ever 🙏💙

[phenomsrandoms]

It wasn't because "it made him look undignified" it was because animated shows had to be completely hand drawn back then, which was difficult and expensive, so they decided to change him to flight in order to use looping/sliding frames of buildings.

And yet some people still say Zack doesn't know 👍☺️

It took 10 seasons for Superman to fly in the series Smallville. LOL

[LXW-Arts]

Hulk: Wait a minute giant leaps that's my thing

[obedgene]

Don't forget Smallville, he didn't fly in that show either, only jumped around until the 9th or 10th season I believe.

Gives me goosebumps. Every time. That musical flourish and buildup, his dad talking in the background, all of it. I think I was 8 or something when this movie came out and I was absolutely filled with childlike wonder at it. I still think it was a good movie

i like how in the subtitles it says “Men of steel”
