Superman the Movie
Quotes

Superman 3 Quotes
|
From Superman 3 when a piece of synthetic kryptonite fails to kill
Superman for Gus Gorman, Robert Vaughn replies to Gus on the phone
"I ask you to kill Superman and you can't even do that one
simple thing." - Ross Webster Superman 3 villain
This is like one of my favorite lines of all time. I crack up every time I hear it. Actor
Robert Vaughn says it with such seriousness to
Richard
Pryor's character.
You know a wise man once said, I think it was Attila the Hun, "It is not enough that I succeed, everyone else must
fail." Ross Webster from Superman 3. This sounds just like something Lionel Luthor would have told Lex growing up. |

Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) lays a big chunk of synthetic
Kryptonite on the Man of Steel.

Superman IV
Quote
Lex Luthor: Is the world gonna be incinerated?
Superman: No. It's the same as it's always been: on the brink. With good fighting evil.
Lois and Clark Quotes
|
Lois: If you wanna kill Superman, I don't know why you're going to Smallville or 1966.
Tempus: She doesn't know yet. Oh, this is good. This is really good. Um, Lois, did you know that, in the future, you're revered at the same level as Superman? Why there are books about you, statues, an interactive game. You're even a breakfast cereal.
Lois: Really?
Tempus: Yes. But, as much as everybody loves you, there is one question that keeps coming up: "How dumb was she?" Here, I'll show you what I mean. Look (puts glasses on), I'm Clark Kent. (Takes glasses off) No, I'm Superman. (Puts glasses on) Mild-mannered reporter. (Takes glasses off) Superhero. Hello! Duh! Clark Kent is Superman. Ha, ha, ha. Well, that was worth the whole trip. To actually meet the most
galactically stupid woman who ever lived. |

Actor Lane Davies portrayed the
hilariously evil Tempus on Lois and Clark the New Adventures
of Superman
|
Tempus:
You want to know the future, Miss Lane? No one works, no one argues,
there are 9,000 channels and nothing on!
Tempus: Well, this is a special pleasure, Ms. Lane. I'm Tempus. I'm from the future that you and Superman created.
Lois: Me and Superman?
Tempus: A world of peace. A world with no greed or crime. A world so boring you'd blow your brains out, but there are no guns.
Tempus: Superman, as long as I have you here, just answer one thing for me. Why tights? Why a cape? You're a grown man, don't you feel ridiculous?
Superman: My mother made it for me.
Clark Kent: Superman
is what I can do, Clark is who I am.

Clark: It's just an allegory, Lex.
Lex Luthor: I know. But if one person could do all that, he'd be a formidable enemy. He could conquer the world. He could become a tyrant if no one kept him in check.

Ziget? from the episode Talisman |
