Dude, the posture change, the change in the entire body language, going from the bumbling Clark Kent to Superman. It's insane to me that everyone thinks its just the glasses to this day.
Flavianpec1337 actually he changes how much sunlight gets into his eyes and it makes it seem like he’s another person by changing how we see his eye color
This was honestly genius on Lois's part. She decided to test Clark's reaction to being shot at rather than if he was actually bulletproof. That way she wouldn't accidentally kill Clark if she was wrong.
The 90s television Lois (Teri Hatcher) had actually fallen in love with Clark by the time she found out - so she had a hurt reaction, "The man I risked giving my heart to kept this big secret from me" - which seems understandable in that context, but I enjoy this Lois happy about finding out - like she feels she's "caught" him because she knows. And it does lead to some romance between them. But I think this Lois sees Clark Kent as not existing - just Superman's disguise.
Standing tall and crossing arms is all it takes for him to become Superman. Getting goosebumps even after all those years of seeing this in a cinema when I was a kid.
One of the things I love that I think is overlooked is that this scene reveals Lois' care for Clark. She needs to find out the truth, she's pretty sure she ALREADY knows the truth, but God forbid she's wrong she doesn't want Clark to be hurt. Even if her aim was non-fatal, Clark's safety comes first.
0:35 this reaction is perfect. She’s not shocked he’s alive because she knew there were blanks. She’s in shock because of the realization that he’s really Superman.
I love that people honestly believe that its just the glasses but if you look at him, his entire demeanor and body language changes as well. Even before he takes the glasses off, the aura around him shifts from bumbling to confident.
When people ask how nobody can tell Clark is Superman, I just send them this. This is how. Plus, when he 'switches' hes still wearing the glasses, and its very clearly just Superman in a suit and glasses. But before that? I wouldn't have passed that dude in Metropolis and thought 'hey is that Superman?' _That's_ how the disguise works
@@ccelite3782 Superman can indeed feel. His alien anatomy allows him to shift the density and gravity around him to change his speed and strength. Superman is as powerful as he needs to be as long as there is a yellow sun to give him sustenance.
I really appreciate just how good this reveal is. Her plan didn't endanger herself nor Clark, and she literally outsmarted Superman which is so Lois. I don't know why adaptations after this tends to use her stupid jumping plan instead considering that it ultimately failed.

This is still our best Superman imo in live action and last good one we will probably get because our current one is an edge Lord. Quit mistaken me for a hater.
If I were Superman disguised as a nerdy Clark Kent, I’d desperately check to see if the bullet hit me, only to be shocked that Lois only shot a blank. Then I’d say, “Do you do this to every man you suspect to be Superman? You’re crazy!” Then storm out of the room and leave Lois dumbfounded and confused, then eventually guilty for what she did to me. I wouldn’t speak to her for several days and work in silence. Give her the cold shoulder and a bit of annoyance in her pathetic attempts at apologizing. Then confront her as Superman, save her from her usual shit, then have her open up to me about how she hurt “Clark” and doubting her instincts as a journalist. That’s when I slap her with advice on how to make things better between us. She’ll take my advice and buy me coffee the very next day, admitting that suspecting me as Superman was a terrible mistake. And *that’s* when I forgive her and become friends with her again. Hook Line and Sink her
This scene makes me tear up. Both cuts of the film have their issues but this may be the single greatest depiction of Clark/Superman ever. The way his physicality changes is incredible.

Everyone talks about Reeve's wonderful switch up between Clark and Superman, but I also love his expression at the end. Really sells the "This is the most infuriating woman alive (affectionate)".
It’s such an under appreciated part of the scene. For 1.5 movies Reeve’s either playing Clark (as a clumsy nebbish) or Superman (an infinitely kind God in man-shaped form.) This is one of the very few times where his performance feels … well, human. He just had the greatest look “Jesus fucking Christ I can’t believe I fell for that” on his face.
Kona Fenske well yeah the whole point of Clark Kent is that he’s kind of a weak dork of a guy so no one would think he could possibly be superman. Superman is his real personality. This ain’t hard to understand lmao
I have no idea how he pulled it off, but after the shot he suddenly went from being Clark Kent to being Superman with glasses on. What a phenomenal actor.
Superman: You realize, of course, if you'd been wrong Clark Kent would have been killed. Lois: Well, they're blank. Superman: Takes he's glasses back on. Lois: Clark ! Superman was here !
I like how Clark just stands there after being shot. He wants to maintain his identity as only Clark Kent, but also doesn't wanna make lois believe she actually just shot and killed a man so he just stood there and stared back at her lol
@@t.v.rockwell4504 Well in the whole movie nobody could even realize he resembles Superman which is ridiculous. The whole Superman disguise is just one big joke. The only one they got it right was Smallville
Honestly, perfect part was her mentioning the blanks. If she was wrong, no one would be hurt, worst is she might seem a little more crazy to Clark lmao
Meanwhile, in the alternate reality where Clark isn't Superman, the Daily Planet headline reads "Reporter dies of heart attack. Lois Lane arrested for manslaughter."
It's never discussed in the movies, but in the comics (and the Lois & Clark show from the 90s), he has to concentrate to use his superspeed. It's not always active.
I love the implication that hes so strong he cant even tell he hasn't been shot, he just knows hes caught. His only other solution would be to catch or dodge the bullet, things a normal person couldnt do. He just knows that if she pulls the trigger hes caught.
It was so subtle but with the music and everything it’s such a nuanced but incredible performance. It reminds me of the Batman 1966 episode where Bruce talks to Batman on separate phones and changes his voice just enough to make it sound like two different people
Lois: *shoots gun* Clark: *falls over* Lois: “haha very funny Clark I know you’re Superman now get up...Clark?” *superman enters* hows my twin brother who crash landed with me on earth but wasn’t blessed with superhuman powers doing?
Thank goodness Superman. Some crazed mad man shot your twin brother and ran off laughing with evil intent. He also planted a gun in my purse. How could someone be so evil. The humanity.
I've already seen counter-arguments against this. Clark has been taught to hide his powers so much that at times, he may forget he has them. There's a very human clumsiness inherent in him that comes from how he was raised. The shock of having a gun pointed at him plus the shock of it being fired PLUS the fact that it's LOIS FIRING IT may have grabbed his attention so much that it wouldn't occur to him to look for a bullet It's like the scene in Knives Out where Marta is stabbed with a prop knife. She's been in the house and around that display enough times, she SHOULD know what a fake knife looks like. But learning Ransom is the murderer, plus the shock of him pulling a weapon on her, plus him actually LUNGING TO KILL HER, would all be enough to distract her from smaller details Remember: Clark may not have been born on Earth, but he was raised here. In all important ways, he is human.
@@mc-rn8ro if you see an object moving towards you at 1cm per hour, wouldn't you see it no matter how "shocked" you are? Would you forget you can walk or hear just because you are an actor? Besides Superman is SUPER, he doesnt make that kind of mistakes.
He looked like a disappointed father. "Well, you did it. Are you happy now? Are you proud of yourself? I thought you were better than this?" Meanwhile, Lois is too caught up on that moment to understand the part where that's her problem.
I honestly love how pissed he looks. He's really not happy that she figured it out. This, right here, is why they've had such a hard time getting a new Superman franchise going in all the years after the originals. I'm not sure anyone can ever top Christopher Reeve's performance.
Here is the Original Semitic Text. HERE IS OUR SAVIOR YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Christopher’s acting is just Legendary. Notice that mannerism shift when he switches from Clark to Superman. It’s SO seamless. His voice becomes more assertive, he straightens his back, etc. He was born for this role.
Its a combination of everything: the way he talks, the lack of confidence, the slightly hunched over without a firm stance. The glasses are the cherry on top that sells the identity of Clark Kent.
@@ThatLaloBoy Not to mention that in some instances (not sure about here but def in animated versions) he also wears clothing that's a size or two too big for him to hide his physique.
@@tomcoburn5258he isn’t trying to fool the comic book readers or the movie goers with his glasses identity. He’s doing it to Metropolis city people and the rest of the world within the franchise. That’s what people never seem to convey when watching Clark Kent, seeing glasses and assuming “that doesn’t fool anybody 😂”
The transition from Clarke to Superman in this scene is a masterclass in acting from Reeves and why he is the GOAT. Its not just the glasses that is his disguise but the whole persona that changes from Clarke to Superman.
We're all digging the new Tomboy Lois, but this version of Lois was quite the Cutie Patootie herself. Also, blanks at close range are no joke. It's like having the hot end of a rocket pointed at you.
C. Moore or he’s still Superman but there’s a kryptonite bullet in the gun so she just killed Superman and then goes to prison for life with knowledge she killed Superman
Everyone's losing their minds on Lois jumping off a bridge to make Clark confess in My Adventiures with Superman. Meanwhile, Lois in this movie just pulled out a gun.
I just love how after she busts him, he's in full on Superman mode. He’s not mad that she figured him out, he’s mad because she could’ve really killed someone.
Yeah but honestly it doesn’t make much sense… Superman would’ve seen the bullet coming out of the gun and he could’ve easily told the difference between a bullet (that would’ve come for him) and a blank
Clark: "Lois, seriously, I'm not Superman!" *gets shot and falls down* Lois: "Nice try, Clark." Clark: *Has red bleeding through his shirt* Lois: "V-Very funny, Clark. I know you're Superman." Superman: "Lois, are you alright? I heard a gunshot. What happened to Clark?!" Lois: 😬
Cut to the next scene and she’s haphazardly digging a grave while she crying and muttering to herself about all the reasons why she was sure it was him.
@@TheSpartanL106 yes. With a blank its still assualt with a deadly weapon in Arizona. In Arizona it's assualt with a deadly weapon if the victim believes he's going to die or be seriously injured with a blank pistol. (Bruce Lee's son died because of one of those) For example. I reveal a gun and point it at you. I tell you I'm going to shoot you but... I dont. When the police show up it's revealed I'm carrying a cardboard card. Not a gun... That's aggravated assualt.
Everyone takes the mick that no one recognises him with the glasses but with Christopher reaves it was never just the glasses it’s his posture his facial expression the way he carry’s him self he makes the two characters look sooo different he was truly brilliant
@@joveluna8245 At that range a blank would have terribly wounded him if not killed him. Actors have died from accidents involving blanks. Edit: Based on replies, I was incorrect as the blank would maybe hurt but would not really injure or kill the actor in this scene. However firing a blank at point blank might.
@@blitzwaffe There was at least like 4 feet between them, although it is hard to see with how the scene is shot. Though I wouldn't say Clark would not be able to feel it, I don't think there would be enough force to injure let alone kill him (if he was human of course).
The *second* the gun goes off, he just reverts instantly from Clark to Superman. Everything about him, his posture, his voice, his expression, it all just solidifies into a completely different person. Christopher Reeve was an absolute gift to these movies, and this scene really showcases the night and day between his performances in a matter of seconds.
Really this is the superpower with women. You could take the exact same guy except him being weak and spineless and not assertive and it's going to turn women off no matter how attractive he is. As soon as he changes his mannerisms boom he's instantly attractive to women. It's amazing how many men don't understand this. Doesn't really matter how you look gents as long as you're not a complete slob
In a modern film, a scene like this would get mercilessly roasted and criticized online. But I think it has just the right amount of charm to make it fun over-all.
@@maggs131 Years ago. He was thrown from a horse and broke his neck. He became a quadriplegic and slowly faded away over several years, until he stopped breathing.
Can we complement how great his acting is? His composure change is on the dime, really does feel like I watched Clark leave the room and Superman replace him
You’re right and I mean I don’t mean to nitpick, but Kal-el can see through and verify that the bullets are blanks can’t he? If so, then really all he had to do was behave like a normal person if they thought they’d been shot at. *shrug* Just Saiyan. I haven’t gone Super yet. Doing my 400G trai…*blubbers*…but you know, staying on topic. Right?
Wat about Clark? U mention Lois but wat about Clark? Was it something like he scolding her but u erased cuz u realized that’s much like mansplaing and u don’t want to get cancelled? Well f that. I’m beluga and I can’t be canceled. He supermansplained her
What's freaking amazing is that Reeves portrays and LOOKS so different as Clark that when he straightens up he immediately DOES look like a different person. Its really impressive, especially as in most Superhero films you look at the actor in the mask and are like "yeah, I can tell its him"
Plot twist: that was the 37th man she shot that day in search of superman
Oh I laughed.
Nice one
Lmao!
@Dehydrated Water Sorry for actually talking sense, how remiss of me!
But at least they have not die

Guess people is young and didn't watch these movies, jumping off buildings is classic Lois Lane behavior 😅
Superman: You realize, of course, if you'd been wrong Clark Kent would have been killed.
Lois: Well, they're blank.
Superman: Takes he's glasses back on.
Lois: Clark ! Superman was here !
🤣
I love this comment more than the clip.
Harvey dent, can we trust him
"Takes his glasses back on"
@@MrJ-ro1yr still wrong
The way he changes his stance really makes it feel like he's someone else, it's amazing
Stellar acting and clever use of music

Z Bass best. Superman. Ever.
The way Christopher Reeve physically transforms from Clark to Superman when Lois shoots him is just amazing. Wonderful piece of acting.
I like how Clark just stands there after being shot. He wants to maintain his identity as only Clark Kent, but also doesn't wanna make lois believe she actually just shot and killed a man so he just stood there and stared back at her lol
She could've just taken off his glasses.
*turns on the light to go to the bathroom*
“Oh. My. God.”
That doesn't really prove anything, just that Clark looks like Superman. She had to prove he was without doubt Superman, so she shoot a blank at him.
@@t.v.rockwell4504 Well in the whole movie nobody could even realize he resembles Superman which is ridiculous.
The whole Superman disguise is just one big joke.
The only one they got it right was Smallville
Or she could have just stripped and gave him a lap dance, there's a million things she could have done.
@@Emma_madison how did they get it right on smallville?
Inmate: "I got arrested for robbing a bank, how'd you wind up here?"
Lois: "I shot my boyfriend to see if he was superman"
Inmate: "Common mistake. We have twenty other people in here who did the same thing."
Bet you that something like this has actually happened
It was a blank tho
It Was A BLANK!
YOU DUMBASS!!!!
@@Dark_Force_Of_Wishes Chill man. That kind a caps-lock rage can't be good for your blood pressure.
Honestly, perfect part was her mentioning the blanks. If she was wrong, no one would be hurt, worst is she might seem a little more crazy to Clark lmao
He looked like a disappointed father after he took his glasses off
Lois: “Well they’re blank.”
Batman: “Impressive. Most impressive.”
Darth vader and batman do have a thing for black suits and capes.
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's blanks

@@jamgrams3244 lmao
Why he didn't use his X-ray vision?
Meanwhile, in the alternate reality where Clark isn't Superman, the Daily Planet headline reads "Reporter dies of heart attack. Lois Lane arrested for manslaughter."
lmao
Dude she shot it with a blank
Mr. Random that’s why he died of a heart attack and it was manslaughter you moron
if he died of heart attack there's no way to prove Lois did it.
Pat Rick the point is no one can be blamed for a heart attack
I love how hes fast enough to literally reverse time but cannot see whether a bullet actually comes out of this gun or not.
He was too busy using his X-ray powers on Lois’ Lanes
It's never discussed in the movies, but in the comics (and the Lois & Clark show from the 90s), he has to concentrate to use his superspeed. It's not always active.
Apparently, he can't feel it either. It must be like a mosquito bite to him. 😆
I love the implication that hes so strong he cant even tell he hasn't been shot, he just knows hes caught.
His only other solution would be to catch or dodge the bullet, things a normal person couldnt do. He just knows that if she pulls the trigger hes caught.
Why is no one talking about how amazing Clark's transition into Superman is. Chris is such a talent! RIP
RIP Margot, very sad.
Chris? Like your one of us Americans, get back you creep from india
It was so subtle but with the music and everything it’s such a nuanced but incredible performance. It reminds me of the Batman 1966 episode where Bruce talks to Batman on separate phones and changes his voice just enough to make it sound like two different people
The most amazing thing is how his hair automatically changes from geeky Clark Kent style to Super Hero style.
@@thejoker0262 just bcz u are a american does u own him...dude u r such a dick
Lois: *shoots gun*
Clark: *falls over*
Lois: “haha very funny Clark I know you’re Superman now get up...Clark?”
*superman enters* hows my twin brother who crash landed with me on earth but wasn’t blessed with superhuman powers doing?
I doubt Superman would give such an expositional dump a time like that.
This sounds like a Family Guy cutaway.
Thank goodness Superman. Some crazed mad man shot your twin brother and ran off laughing with evil intent. He also planted a gun in my purse. How could someone be so evil. The humanity.
Most of that is from the Spoof for justice leagues comic con footage if you don’t know what that is look it up it is really funny
Have you noticed that Bruce Wayne and Superman have never been seen in the same room... coincidence, I think not.
Watching this made me cry. "Gone too soon."
there is no way Lois could have fooled Superman like that. He is fast enough to see the bullet was just a blank.
I've already seen counter-arguments against this. Clark has been taught to hide his powers so much that at times, he may forget he has them. There's a very human clumsiness inherent in him that comes from how he was raised. The shock of having a gun pointed at him plus the shock of it being fired PLUS the fact that it's LOIS FIRING IT may have grabbed his attention so much that it wouldn't occur to him to look for a bullet
It's like the scene in Knives Out where Marta is stabbed with a prop knife. She's been in the house and around that display enough times, she SHOULD know what a fake knife looks like. But learning Ransom is the murderer, plus the shock of him pulling a weapon on her, plus him actually LUNGING TO KILL HER, would all be enough to distract her from smaller details
Remember: Clark may not have been born on Earth, but he was raised here. In all important ways, he is human.
@@mc-rn8ro if you see an object moving towards you at 1cm per hour, wouldn't you see it no matter how "shocked" you are? Would you forget you can walk or hear just because you are an actor? Besides Superman is SUPER, he doesnt make that kind of mistakes.
Clark subconsciously wanted Lois to find out his superman
@@donjohn2695 that would work for the original cut but not for this version
"Gotcha"
Superman: throws Lois on the sun.
He cant do that, he's not Sam O'Nella
That's Homelander
kinda warm in here all of a sudden... XD
"gotcha"

The way he completely changes personality and mannerisms in an instant. He was truly remarkable in this role.
Yes, unlike the most recent Batman, that’s exactly the same as Batman and as Bruce.
@@GhostSalOkay, troll.
@@MisterUnknown707 So just expressing an opinion is trolling according to you, that’s absurd you do know that don’t you?
@@GhostSal Sure, whatever you say, troll.
@@GhostSal Thanks for your input, troll.
A genius take on the classic "When did you figure out I was Superman?" "Just now, when you said you were."
Bro was gaslighting HARD with that "we've talked about these hallucinations you've had"
0:38 his face is like "well, you happy now..."
*beatboxes*
herro.
He looked like a disappointed father. "Well, you did it. Are you happy now? Are you proud of yourself? I thought you were better than this?" Meanwhile, Lois is too caught up on that moment to understand the part where that's her problem.
lol ikr
I honestly love how pissed he looks. He's really not happy that she figured it out. This, right here, is why they've had such a hard time getting a new Superman franchise going in all the years after the originals. I'm not sure anyone can ever top Christopher Reeve's performance.
Now he'll have to take her to Antarctica to live out the rest of her life.

Oh man, That's why the flat earthers say we aren't allowed there. All makes sense now! It's superman's house!
Wow i never realized Clark was Superman untill he took off his glasses. 😮
I love the consistent undertones that Lois half-knows. Even as far back as the 1930s animations there were hints of it.
Christopher’s acting is just Legendary. Notice that mannerism shift when he switches from Clark to Superman. It’s SO seamless. His voice becomes more assertive, he straightens his back, etc. He was born for this role.
In my heart he is the only Superman that ever lived .
Don’t over do it lmao y’all stay praising too muc
@@2roly2 .SAME
@VinAr Run :Nah.Fun fact Christopher was actually taller then Henry😊
his voice lines were also good
His acting is really proving that glasses would absolutely be a good disguise for superman
No it most definitely doesn’t lmao
Its a combination of everything: the way he talks, the lack of confidence, the slightly hunched over without a firm stance. The glasses are the cherry on top that sells the identity of Clark Kent.
@@ThatLaloBoy Not to mention that in some instances (not sure about here but def in animated versions) he also wears clothing that's a size or two too big for him to hide his physique.
@@ThatLaloBoy WOW CAP MUCH
@@tomcoburn5258he isn’t trying to fool the comic book readers or the movie goers with his glasses identity. He’s doing it to Metropolis city people and the rest of the world within the franchise. That’s what people never seem to convey when watching Clark Kent, seeing glasses and assuming “that doesn’t fool anybody 😂”
The transition from Clarke to Superman in this scene is a masterclass in acting from Reeves and why he is the GOAT. Its not just the glasses that is his disguise but the whole persona that changes from Clarke to Superman.
We're all digging the new Tomboy Lois, but this version of Lois was quite the Cutie Patootie herself.
Also, blanks at close range are no joke. It's like having the hot end of a rocket pointed at you.
Plot twist, Lois didn't fire a blank and Clark Kent wasn't Superman. Clark Kent dies and Lois Lane is arrested. The End.

Everyone's losing their minds on Lois jumping off a bridge to make Clark confess in My Adventiures with Superman.
Meanwhile, Lois in this movie just pulled out a gun.
She jumped off a building in this movie too
Lois has always been a bit nuts lol
Imagine shooting a gun instead of a bullet
I just love how after she busts him, he's in full on Superman mode. He’s not mad that she figured him out, he’s mad because she could’ve really killed someone.
That was obvious and true to his character actually
“ With a blank ?”
@Clifford Superman Not at that range. Point blank is named for the point at which blanks are lethal, however.
@@KopperNeoman No, it's not
Yeah but honestly it doesn’t make much sense… Superman would’ve seen the bullet coming out of the gun and he could’ve easily told the difference between a bullet (that would’ve come for him) and a blank
Clark: "Lois, seriously, I'm not Superman!"
*gets shot and falls down*
Lois: "Nice try, Clark."
Clark: *Has red bleeding through his shirt*
Lois: "V-Very funny, Clark. I know you're Superman."
Superman: "Lois, are you alright? I heard a gunshot. What happened to Clark?!"
Lois: 😬
Lies again? Gun Oil Durex
Well they're blank
Hahaha, that's dark but 🤣
Lois: "quick help my hide the body!"
Cut to the next scene and she’s haphazardly digging a grave while she crying and muttering to herself about all the reasons why she was sure it was him.
I just love how crazy lois in the film went crazy lois in real life.
I love how after the bullet hit clark, it's like it activated the "superman" switch lmao.

When you find out your husband did martial arts in college...
I love his acting, you can clearly see how his gestures and voice changes once he takes off his glasses
"Lois, I'm arresting you for attempted murder"
From where she shot, it's assault with a deadly weapon.
@@riiddisbuk2496 with a blank?
@@TheSpartanL106 Idk. I just don't think.
General kenobi
@@TheSpartanL106 yes. With a blank its still assualt with a deadly weapon in Arizona.
In Arizona it's assualt with a deadly weapon if the victim believes he's going to die or be seriously injured with a blank pistol. (Bruce Lee's son died because of one of those)
For example. I reveal a gun and point it at you. I tell you I'm going to shoot you but... I dont. When the police show up it's revealed I'm carrying a cardboard card. Not a gun...
That's aggravated assualt.

Unbelievable---before taking off his glasses he was unrecognizable
Everyone takes the mick that no one recognises him with the glasses but with Christopher reaves it was never just the glasses it’s his posture his facial expression the way he carry’s him self he makes the two characters look sooo different he was truly brilliant
spencer moss thats fact, but its also funny his disguise is not wearing glasses
He also parts his hair in the opposite direction
He makes it look like they are just identical
I remember one comic where Clark made himself look bulkier and scruffy to hide himself. While Superman was slimmer and clean cut.
yeah, but they still have the same freaking face. and shoesize. and proportions. and voice. and eye color. and smell. etc
"It is you isn't it?"
Clark : *dead on the ground*
Edit: Hey guess what I know what blanks are guys.
This deserves more respect
@@joveluna8245 At that range a blank would have terribly wounded him if not killed him. Actors have died from accidents involving blanks.
Edit: Based on replies, I was incorrect as the blank would maybe hurt but would not really injure or kill the actor in this scene. However firing a blank at point blank might.
@@blitzwaffe There was at least like 4 feet between them, although it is hard to see with how the scene is shot. Though I wouldn't say Clark would not be able to feel it, I don't think there would be enough force to injure let alone kill him (if he was human of course).
@@austinligid9626 That's good to know. I just felt the need to say that blanks are still dangerous.
"Game over yeeeaaaaaahhhh!!!"
I love the implication that were it not a blank Superman wouldn’t feel it 😂
It's crazy how he looks completely different with his disguise 💀
You just got pranked
gargouenzene she had her suspicions
Robbie Wilson movie fail. superman is able to see bullets . He shoulded know there was non and pretend to be scared.
Patrice Arel he did pretend
@@patricearel He knew, but he wanted to reveal himself
You mean, you just got blanked...
The *second* the gun goes off, he just reverts instantly from Clark to Superman. Everything about him, his posture, his voice, his expression, it all just solidifies into a completely different person. Christopher Reeve was an absolute gift to these movies, and this scene really showcases the night and day between his performances in a matter of seconds.
Yeah, it's something all the actors after him never quite get nailed down. Most of them don't ever try it seems.
Really this is the superpower with women. You could take the exact same guy except him being weak and spineless and not assertive and it's going to turn women off no matter how attractive he is. As soon as he changes his mannerisms boom he's instantly attractive to women. It's amazing how many men don't understand this. Doesn't really matter how you look gents as long as you're not a complete slob
*Reeve
@@DaggerSecurity Personally, I think Routh nailed both parts. He practically channeled Reeve's performance.
@@James_Bee I’ll admit that his performance was closest to Reevse’s but his charisma was zero. He was forgettable. IMO.
Also got to give credit to the music. And all the musicians who played that. Just brilliant. Thankyou.

In a modern film, a scene like this would get mercilessly roasted and criticized online. But I think it has just the right amount of charm to make it fun over-all.

He died?
@@maggs131 Years ago. He was thrown from a horse and broke his neck. He became a quadriplegic and slowly faded away over several years, until he stopped breathing.
Can we complement how great his acting is? His composure change is on the dime, really does feel like I watched Clark leave the room and Superman replace him
I can’t get enough of this kind of commenta
I was thinking the same
You’re right and I mean I don’t mean to nitpick, but Kal-el can see through and verify that the bullets are blanks can’t he?
If so, then really all he had to do was behave like a normal person if they thought they’d been shot at. *shrug* Just Saiyan.

I could watch this scene many times without getting bored. It is just that she looks so cute pulling this krap.
What's freaking amazing is that Reeves portrays and LOOKS so different as Clark that when he straightens up he immediately DOES look like a different person. Its really impressive, especially as in most Superhero films you look at the actor in the mask and are like "yeah, I can tell its him"
She shot the awkward body language right out of him.
Incredible acting!
