James Gunn’s Superman Quote Ended the Man of Steel Era

The movie Man of Steel presented a much more serious and realistic take on Superman, similar in style to The Dark Knight, moving away from the classic, more upbeat Superman stories. In contrast, the later Superman film offered a hopeful and inspiring hero. The film culminated in a powerful moment where Superman told Lex Luthor, “…That is being human. And that’s my greatest strength.” This quote signaled a key change in Clark Kent’s character, emphasizing his humanity as a source of strength.
