Thanks for Watching Everyone. Glad to see this Show have such a good fanbase! Btw check my latest vid Where Supes fights Deadline!
Clark should had TOST HIM to the moon broo
Warner Bros. was foolish canceling this series.
@@eyeseer1what do you mean cancel. It has another season coming up
Reminds me of that speech in JLU, when Clark was fighiting Darkseid. “A world of paper”. He was handling everything here with the slightest touch, being ever so careful to not even remotely break a bone. What he must want to do to that individual if only he could take it like Darkseid.
Poor Clark. 😬
I thought he was gonna put that man face first thru the bar lol
Messing with a Superman in a diner is like messing with a Skywalker in a hallway. Is just something you don't do.
IIRC, a lot of Superman scenes like this take place in diners. Don't know why. Maybe Superman likes diner food.
This is a top notch comment and needs more attention😂
That’s not superman. That’s Clark Kent 😊
@@JustJames83 Easy mistake to make, they look somewhat similar.
@@Leofilmperson but nobody seems to notice
"I will come for you!" Clark embracing his inner Batman. 🤣
It gave me Batman vibes😅😅
Liam Neeson approves
Superman has dressed up as Batman to cover for him.
Concordo 😂
Nope. Batman first break bones, than threatens😂😂😂😂
imagine you're holding an egg in your palm and smashing onto the table but trying not to crush it, thats how to be superman.
"A world of cardboard" indeed!
Not just any egg, a chemically washed one with almost all the natural protections of the shell removed
I know Clark doesn't like to use unnecessary force, but it would have been neat to see the counter flexing down a little, from him pushing down on it.
@@hellomark1 the dude's head would've popped before the counter starts flexing down
@@hellomark1apart from the guy being crushed before the counter started to flex, that would be the difference between "this guy is really strong, I better not mess with him" and "oh wow, this dude's obviously Superman"
"I will come for you" is absolutely chilling. That's not the threat of a hero, it's the promise of a father.
And a uncle.
Its refreshing to se Superman as a Clark not playing a weak dumb guy, but just a gay without blue suit who is acting for his closed ones.
Real weird seeing supes making threats and acting like batman...
@@JokerInk-CustomBuilds Well, he growup to be father figure.
@@zanzazaaryou might wanna proofread your comments from now on bud
There’s something so cold about the way he said “You hit my son.” Tyler Hoechlin needs the credit he deserves, he’s definitely one of my favorite Superman actors
I agree completely. Show is underrated.
Dude got out of town quick he sensed something is different with Clark indeed!
Most ass Superman actor
@@OnlyClips808 it's underrated?
@Meister Igi ya totally. it should be up there with Henry Cavill.
I love how even while being completley ready to threaten this guy he walks into the diner so politely.
That's because he's talking to a cockroach. Clark's only fear is that he would accidentally break every bone in this man's body by moving too fast or being just a fraction too rough. The actor portrays that flawlessly. He is offering the man mercy and it shows.
@@rezalasdamn
@@rezalasCompassion, moderately so, when one holds the Compacity to unmake life.. yet is kind (not nice) to withhold. That is a warrior.
Reminds me of man of steel almost
dude is really lucky he was born in the dc universe and not the image universe if he threatened a Greyson my guy woulda learned how far the gap between a nice super and a bad one really is.@@rezalas
“It’s fine Clark I handled it” that line wouldn’t even help any dad or husband.
Yeah. I wouldn't have been as, uh, restrained as Clark was.
Yeah lol that would not placate me at all
@@SlimThrullWhat do you think Sam Lane would've done if he heard Jon got punched and Lois got threatened with a gun?
@@SlimThrull You would have given him the Omni-man treatment?
@@MrJturner74🤣🤣🤣
He is not only good as Superman but his portrayal of the mild mannered Clark Kent is also fantastically done. Even though that piece of shit threatened his family, he showed restraint and said sorry before he left.
It’s a great balance of him playing Clark as nice and decent without playing him as a chump.
there is nothing more terrifying then the anger of a calm man.
@darkracer1252 Or a women. Calm people are secretly terrifying human beings.
I think he was more saying sorry for disrupting people’s dinner lmaooo
This scene remind of man of steal
I love how Kyle thought he might have to step in and both Lana and Sara are like, yeah sit down, he's got this lol
I love that Kyle was just right there willing to help Clark
@Ishaan Hodge Yeah but his reasoning was more about being the man in front of Lana.
Perhaps.
But I do believe that despite his flaws Kyle is still a man of the people. After all he was a firefighter
@@ryanabate1981 I highly doubt it. Kyle's a firefighter and is constantly helping people.
@Ender Duck Yeah no that was not what was happening. This is a guy trying to prove himself to how family again.
That “I will come for you” was terrifying knowing it’s coming from Superman
And the best part is he’s not even doing it as Superman but as Clark Kent.
Yeah it's like he let his Superman briefly come out and then resumed the Clark cover on the exposing line
I can only think that Batman would've been so proud of Clark right there.
@@sendilkrishnan2866 Makes you wonder how Bruce would have handled it without becoming Batman
@@Prometheus-SuperBat That's the difference right there. For Clark, Superman is just the costume he puts on, but at heart he's still just the farm boy from rural Kansas, raised with the small town mentality, and a good heart. Conversely, for Batman, Bruce Wayne is the mask, the costume... Bruce is an entirely fictional persona for Batman to wear as a cover. Batman is who he is at his core.
So, it wouldn't be that Bruce would have become Batman, Batman would have simply resumed being himself.
I just noticed he doesn't actually give HIS name. He says "I'm John Kent's dad....Lois Lane's husband?" He doesn't actually say "I'm Clark Kent." He just describes himself by the people the thug hurt. Interesting directing tip there for line delivery. Nice
Interesting “directing tip” for “line delivery?” 😂 That was written that way. By the writer of the episode. That wasn’t a “directing tip for line delivery”. It’s not like Tyler changed it because the director told him too.
@@jeffbrown8117so you saw the script for the episode, then?
@@jeffbrown8117 yeah fine i misspoke about who wrote it, big deal.
In the movie “Once Upon a Time in the West” each time Henry Fonda asks Charles Bronson he gives him a different name. He slowly realizes Bronson is giving him the names of people Fonda has killed.
@@sleepinggorilla Once Upon a Time in the West...
"Nope." Love that line. Absolutely love it. Chef's kiss.
When Clark says, "I will come for you," *Batman Nods In Approval* 😅
Now I'm picturing Bruce giving Clark intimidation lessons😅
Naw he don't need to give him lessons Bruce and Clark have worked that long together
I imagine Bruce is just listening in the cave like if he don't do something I will
Supes learned from the best, he has seen Batman intimidate enough people to know how it's done.
Reminds me of in the cartoon Superman dresses up as Batman, and after hes done taking care of the villains he turns to Robin and smiles, and Robin has to remind him that Batman doesnt smile lol
You don't tug on superman's cape, you don't steal his son's truck, you don't hit his son, and you sure as hell don't pull a gun on his ill wife.
Henceforth why he’s the superman
@@ArkhamKnight-uj6ww He is also Superman for not pulling a Homelander on his ass
And you don't mess around with Jim
Of all the vehicles he could have stolen, he picked the one that led straight to Superman. He has to have the absolute worst luck.
And if you KILL his wife, that's how you get dictator Superman who gives ZERO fucks and will weed out ALL of humanities evil with absolute permanence.
At the point you put your power into a shove and are the only one to move backwards...just concede the loss.
yeah,guy got henrycavilled
When you throw your weight into another person, and *bounce* off of them, just run.
I had this happen to me in high school, and they didn't run.
They tried to rugby tackle me, and bounced off, then they tried to pick a fight with me (as if I did it on purpose) only to bounce off and land on their ass, but again, jumped right back up and got in my face.
They just could not comprehend that they couldn't hurt me.
Wish this was a humble brag, but it didn't even enter my mind to fight back or be smug. I was too busy being upset that they hated me enough to want to try and hurt me.
Spent my entire high school life not understanding that I could of casually kicked their ass whenever I wanted, since no matter how hard they punched me, the only damage they could inflict was emotional.
@@Trojianmarulmao sure, 500 for things that never happened, Alex.
@@Trojianmaru I had a friend who could do that, and he was autistic enough to say they just needed a hug.
And then small-package them, no matter how big they were.
He was big enough and strong enough he probably could have done it to a Gorilla.
For a man who is used to using violence to get his way and is a bully, there must be a unique fear when you try your usual routine on someone and you bounce off them like they're a steel beam and then they hold you down like you're a very small child.
I think that is what had the guy so freaked out, no matter how he wiggled he wasn't moving at all. I can imagine one could feel the force that wasn't being applied yet, just being held in check.
Sometimes that's the only way to reach the coward within every bully.
"You cannot fathom how hard I am trying how hard *not* to hurt you." - the message Clark sent perfectly
Strength is the only language a bully understands, whether it's some jackass in a diner or a dictator in his office.
This is not a job for Superman!
“He’s not going.”
Well excuse me while I go change my shorts....supes took a backseat, it’s just a pissed off dad....who just so happens to be a sweetheart and can crack the planet in half.
Derek Hale vibes mixed with Sephiroth.
@@omarcogle1965 Well, Supermen tend to also play Sephiroth so gotta love that.
@@JnEricsonx Well 2 Supermen (voice & live action) got to play Sephiroth.
@@omarcogle1965 And I've met one of them George Newbern. Met almost the whole damn JL cast save Carl Lumbly and Rosenbaum. First I ever met was Kevin Conroy-RIP.
@@JnEricsonx Nice, I haven't met George Newbern yet, I have met Kevin Conroy 11 years ago at New York Comic Con, he was signing autographs and posing with fans. I took some candid shots of him. I haven't met the other JL voice cast yet, but have you met Tim Daly yet?
Just shows Clark Kent can be equally as terrifying as superman
A more experienced Clark Kent at that.
Makes me wonder how terrifying Bruce Wayne can be
@@Prometheus-SuperBat Very true, Bruce does that very well and effectively. Still, when it's Clark, Mr. Nice Guy, suddenly channeling that dark vibe it works pretty well too. That's without even knowing who Clark really is.
@@Prometheus-SuperBat Bruce Wayne cannot be terrifying, as that's purely a fiction that Batman wears as convenient cover for himself. Batman is who he really is. Bruce will always be a way to deflect and distract, so he will never be terrifying. If Batman needs to terrify someone, he just stops pretending.
When Clark needs to get to superheroics, he puts on his costume. When Batman goes to work, he puts on his uniform. These are not the same thing.
You ever meet a Kansas farmer who is ... serious? NOT someone you want as your enemy!
I could imagine Bruce Wayne smiling during this scene. Lol
Only subtly, from the sidelines, when he's sure nobody was watching. Batman, on the other hand, might have just have broken out in a rare grin, making a mental note to watch the replay from his suit's cameras after the evening's patrol.
while making sure he still has the piece of emergency kryptonite on his utility belt
No Bruce Wayne in this universe.. Only a woke batesuite in women
@@yousufhossain9768superman and lois isn't in the arrowverse.
@@yousufhossain9768 What is it about women that scares you so much, incel?
The “I will come for you” was so fucking cold. Every nuance of what those words meant was reflected in his tone.
They cut out the best part. At the end he says 'my wife will expose you and everything you've done'. He didn't threaten him as superman, he threatened him as Clark Kent which is honestly everything.
And if he did go after his son and wife again, he'd probably kill them so ultimatum really not that effective. I've never watched this show, but Super-man's credo will definitely get his family killed in this scenario.
Next scene: Clark is on his phone.
Clark: “It worked, Bruce. Thanks for the intimidation tips.”
@@justjeff386superman doesn’t have “a credo”. He just doesn’t like to kill. If push comes to shoves, he has no qualms against killing
@@Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmiam That's pretty much a credo..all life sacred. Many people die as a result of it in Man of Steel. So, like I'm saying, next time this guy will just kill his wife and son and then what? Too late
Definitely a great homage to the diner scene at the end of both versions of Superman 2. A great Clark Kent scene of him angrily protecting his family, while still restraining himself to not severely hurt the person who threatened his family. Superman and Lois is such a great Superman series.
the world is made of wet cardboard for Clark
Diner scenes must be needed in Superman content even Man of Steel had one lol
Also an homage to Man of Steel when the truck driver pushes him and goes nowhere lol
I’m so glad we got to see Superman as a father.
wow. spoiler alter wow
I can only imagine the amount of physical restraint to make that happen though.
Now we just need to see Superman as a grandfather and the set is complete
Dean Cain said it best when he played Superman in an older Lois and Clark TV show: "Clark Kent is who I am. Superman is what I do." But the guy who entered the dinner in this scene was not Superman. It was Clark Kent. A decent, peaceful man who got pushed when his family was directly threatened. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually forgot he was Superman at that moment (it would explain why he apparently forgot to pretend to be impacted when the guy pushed him the first time, especially in front of so many people).
It looked like everyone in that Diner noticed Clark being shoved and not even blinking and was like ummmm ..wait he didn't even flinch.. .. except Lana.. seemed like she knew.
I mean even Lanas hubby was like WHoa when he saw Clark didn't flinch at all when that guy shoved him and he was a well known tough guy i.e. low life.
Something else Dean Cain was wrong about. Long list.
Superman is who he is. Clark Kent is just a mask, shaped by how he sees humanity.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when good writing encounters great acting performances. Bravo!
Loved how it paid homage to the Superman 2 Diner scene but it also took inspiration from Man of Steel. The bar scene where the trucker tried to push Clark with no avail. I love that this series pays tribute to ALL of Superman's live action adaptations.
I think after Christopher Reeve,Tyler is my favourite Clark,and I can hardly describe how great Bitsie is as Lois.
He's great, she's awful. She's absolutely terrible
She is good as a mom there wasn't any Lois who was mom and with Clark.
But my favourite is Erica Durance.
Maybe puma Kyle? After seeing Clark in action, there's no chance in hell he's ever going to complete by the barbecue again lol.
Tyler is my favorite Clark, my second favorite is Dean Cain. My favorite Lois is Teri Hatcher and it is even close.
Agreed! Bitsie absolutely crushed it this season
This show really does encapsulate a modern Superman in this day and age. Fucking good work all around. The simmering rage in his eyes and his voice. The fact that despite all this, he still manages to control himself, and not give in. The way he slams him on the table, the tiniest bit more force, and he could just break his skull. Such great acting.
I love how when he is leaving the house Lois says this isn’t a job for superman and Clark says “oh, he isn’t going”. That was So cold.
Thats somehow MORE terrifying.
That little worm really doesn't understand the gravity of the words " I will come for you" from this mind manner father.
Especially when the father is Superman😅
I think he understood the gravity of those words while he was being held face down on the counter and not able to move by hands that felt like they were made of steel and hearing words as cold and hard as that same steel.
Yeah, trying vainly to struggle with all his strength to get out from under the grip of a man who is calmly and casually holding him down with one hand while showing zero effort being put into it is surely leading him to a false understanding of the dire warning being whispered into his ear. 🤦♂️
yeah, he knew he screwed up after he tried to shove him and bounced off him.@@robertf3479
Mild mannered father?
I like the subtlety of telling the guy “I will come for you “ not “ I will find you “ …. You can’t hide you can’t talk your way out of it all you can do is sit where you are and wait for the end
Clark: “so you’ve chosen death”
Homme complete cut out
Lois: “Clark, this isn’t a job for Superman.”
Clark: “Oh *he’s* not going.”
Literal chills. I am in love with this show’s portrayal of Clark as a father.
lol
I want to see this guy pop back up towards the end of the season with a haircut, wearing a suit, having become a productive citizen, all because Clark threatened him!😂
Or, you know, try and attack him again? 😛
This also shows the amount of restraint he has learned to have. Think about it. Superman, when slamming that guy on the counter, could have "accidentally" (a) snapped the guys neck in the process or (b) threw him through the counter, floor and several layers of the Earth's crust. He has matured into a very conscientious and careful superhero.
He has to. Look up Superman's "World of Cardboard" speech.
@@apokalypsecow9756 I just looked it up. From the cartoon? "Show how strong I really am".. Yet he doesn't even break the glass on the buildings next to where he punches him..
By this scale, Neo AND Smith from the matrix was stronger.
I was half expecting the world to start showing a new fault line, but, no, nothing..
Even the hulk broke a large moon in half with one of his rage punches..
@@ColinRichardson That would have been a lot more costly to animate. Shockwave sent the message well enough, I thought.
Keep in mind, this Superman is a veteran, well seasoned and 20 years experience.
@@apokalypsecow9756Indeed and even in that speech, and the fight that followed, he was restrained because he could have very easily destroyed the planet fighting Darkseid.
He held himself back even by human standards. He could have easily snapped a finger or broken his teeth and no one would think it's out of the ordinary
Remember, he had to restrain himself on a level that we can't even comprehend.
Who else is sad they didn't get to see this guy connect with that right jab, just to watch him break his fist on Clark's jaw?
that's why he didn't let him connect.
I’m not. That would be a Superman move. Swiping the punch away and slamming him on the counter is a Clark Kent move. And I loved it.
I'm more impressed with the control Clark has over his speed. Considering his reflexes and speed the effort to SLOW DOWN so much to make it look like the guy had even a small chance to connect is very fine control. Yes, he is used to appearing as a normal human having done it his whole life. As Clark he stayed away from situations that would risk him exposing who he is. To appear as just a very fast and strong HUMAN while in an actual fight shows how skillful he really is. With all the people around that is handy. Not even flinching when the guy tried to shove him was risky but also a choice I think. A little extra to help make his point clear to that a**hole. I'm making a stand against you and you have no hope of moving me from it. Still, it was nothing that would be extreme enough to make people start asking questions. A lot of gossip for sure. "Did you hear how Clark handled that guy? I didn't think he had it in him! He always refused to fight even back in school. I guess people can change."
There are humans who can tank a punch to the face. There are no humans who can tank a punch to the face without moving at all, and break the attacker's hand in the process. Had Clark done that, everyone would have instantly realized that he's some kind of metahuman.
oh he made a stand. quite literally in fact.
I love the fact that he could have shown up as superman, yet he went as his normal self which made a statement to those who grew up with him, the nerd has grown up and his family is not to be messed with.
Would have blown his cover though - why would Superman show up for a private matter for a completely different person ( as far as everybody who's not in is concerned)? Would raise too many questions.
@@FPAlpha But shouldn't it be common knowledge for anyone following the news that he was messing with that investigative reporter who kept getting rescued by Superman like thrice a week?
@@dschehutinefer5627 Superman puts on glasses and suddenly everyone believes he's Clark Kent and nobody even suspects anything.
That's comic books for you, you either accept some tenets there or you don't.
@@FPAlpha Except there's more to people not knowing Clark is Superman than him just putting on glasses. Something that really makes Reeves' portrayal special, and now for me Tyler too, it's that their Clark Kent and Superman are 2 completely different people. Especially Reeve. He changed his tone of voice, his personality, plays like he's clumsy and goofy, changed his body mannerisms, even hunches a little bit to appear shorter. You can also just go with his glasses being kryptonian technology too as was another explanation in the comics.
To be fair, all the people that knew him in school didn't think he was that nerdy, I mean, he's a farmer, they knew he was a bit tough.
I love the "I've made a huge mistake" look on the guy's face at 1:26
I love the look of OH DAMN, Kyle has just after
“I will come for you” had major Liam Neeson/Taken vibes lol
Liam also was RA'sh- Aghul....
Also Lucifer when he threatens Ela's brother.
I know he wanted to beat the training wheels off of dude 😂😂😂
I bet he had to remind himself he could even hit him with 10% of his power without possibly exposing who he really is
You DON’T mess with Superman’s wife or kids. AT ALL. This guy learnt the hard way lol 😂
One thing I like about this scene is how you see someone accustomed to using violence suddenly find someone he can't overpower. I mean, really think about what it means to be held down by Clark Kent, the guy who can lift trucks one handed like they were toys. The immediate sense of powerlessness and danger must be immense! And I have to say, I love the amount of restraint Clark shows! He easily could have torn this guy limb from limb, but manages to be just the right level of menacing. Maybe he learned it from Bruce. :D
i imagine it would be akin to having a metal beam bolted to the table over you.
Given the friendship between Clark and Bruce it surprises me that Clark hasn't learned other things from Bruce / Batman like martial arts. Let's face it, there are beings out there who can overpower Superman (Darkseid, Doomsday, other Kryptonians ...)
@@robertf3479in All Star Superman when Alex Luthor gains powers equal to Superman his niece says he should just go beat Superman up now and Lex says “Clearly you haven’t seen him (Superman) fight.” As in, it’s not just strength, Superman can fight with people as strong or stronger than him and still win
@@robertf3479This is the Arrowverse. No Batman...mainly because DC wouldn't let them sue him or a few other characters. Which is why Oliver Queen/Green Arrow basically became Batman.
Of course, if this were Oliver, he would have just beat the utter shit out of the dude in front of the entire diner.
It's been established that, on this Earth, Superman is the only costumed hero. Bruce Wayne might exist, but Batman does not. It's possible Bruce found another way. It's also possible that Bruce's parents weren't killed at all.
"Now I know how Bruce feels" 😄
This is my favorite Superman. Ever. We don't just see the nice, polite side of Superman like in literally any other media. We get that most of the time in the show, but we also see a way mire vengeful/protective side that I absolutely LOVE. Protective Superman just does it for me.
One of my favorite scenes ever from Superman and Lois. I love the bemused look on Lana’s face when she puts her hand on Kyle’s arm cuz she knows what’s up with Clark.
His Clark Kent and Superman balance of the character is sooo good!!! They really gotta give this show more seasons.
Sadly cancelled now
@@bleachpong yeah but at least they are getting a final season
@@thee_edward_ Hopefully they give it the best send off. He was an amazing Superman
How many seasons did it get?
Tyler has gotta be the most comic accurate live action super man we’ve ever seen. I’m so glad they gave him his own show not tied down by the CW network
This is the best superman depiction. I really don't like superman because he is ultra powerful but i just love this show and Tyler. The characters of both superman and Clarke are superbly written and have their own challenges and overcome them brilliantly. Just brilliant.
He is not ultra powerful. He gets beat up all the time. Just because he holds back a lot.
He kinda is though and for a while I did not like him cause of it either but when you look deeper into it, he grows on you. A lot of his losses are utter bull shit that happens cause plot needs it. In reality very few can even hurt him, and then you add mental blocks to hold back he put on himself and also that he can just always go and power up more by the sun, or the time when he spent so much time inside the sun that he became literal God and recreated all his friends from scratch.
@@-Mister-_._-Sir- Umm.. this has nothing to do with what the plot needs or doesn't need. This is how Superman works. Try to read comics once in a while. Or see the animated version.
Superman will ALWAYS hold back. If he doesn't, the planet is dust. He is literally that strong.
Second, he always measures opponents, finds weaknesses and how to take them out BEFORE he starts to retaliate. Just look at his BIzarro fights (which is prime example on this strategy). He lost the first two encounters since he had no idea how strong Bizarro was or any of his weaknesses, but once he got a pretty good idea, we had the showdown which ended with Bizarro unconscious. Remember, he doesn't kill, so it has to be done this way.
So no, this is not about what the plot needs. This is about how Superman does things.
@@michaelvedal1907 WONDERFULLY said! People only see the Super of Superman pisses me off when they talk about "great depictions" when they haven't seen Superman Material in the first place this is who Superman is all the time, but nooooo they just see dude who's "super strong."
@@cortezlucious95 you take nearly infinite and godlike power, and give it to someone with strong morals and values. that's what makes him so interesting. power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. except this one person, who despite everything, holds those values and morals.
Great character acting by Hoechlin - you can almost feel the rage he has inside him and his desire to just let loose but he knows that even the tiniest application of Superman level strength will kill the guy and Clark is not a killer.
So much restraint and control even when he slams him onto the counter - he could have easily broken cheekbones or his nose but didn't and that guy threatened his family.
Scumbag begins to realise he miscalculated when he literally hit a brick wall trying to shove Clark. The force Clark uses w/ ONE hand, slamming the dude on the countertop... while maintaining enough control to not crush the dude's skull. And he doesn't just let him up. More like a one-handed yank that easily could've thrown the guy through the building. Satisfying beyond words. Tyler Hoechlin's Superman/Clark Kent is masterful.
Let’s appreciate the acting here, he is holding his rage in so well, he could kill him with his pinkie finger with no effort yet he just slams him down while making it look like he’s trying. He’s had to hold back his entire life.
You cut the best 2 lines out of this whole thing. Lois: This is not a job for Superman. Clark: He's not going.
People with true power do not need to raise their voice, a soft whisper has more effect than the loudest shout. Fear the wrath of the righteous man. A true father will do anything and everything to keep his family safe. When that father is also Superman and you have hit his son and pulled a gun on his wife? Every breath you take, for the rest of your life, is because he allows it. Clark has a nearly flawless memory. Even without it he will remember what was done till his last days. Even more than all his power it's his morals and convictions that has truly set him above all other heroes. I'm sure he had a few passing thoughts on doing something more........ extreme. As always they were just passing thoughts. I will say, for the first time, that someone has gotten close to the (in my opinion) best on screen Clark/Superman. Christopher Reeve of course. Understand that this is extremely high praise. And Tyler keeps impressing me. The way he said "You hit my son" with a stone face and flat detached voice was a distinctive change from the everyday Clark. It came off as scary as if he said "I'm here to kill you." He only needed the tiniest fraction of his power to handle this guy, or kill him if he was that way, and that is all he used. He didn't threaten him either. He explained. If you even think about doing that again or any of the other harmful things you have been doing I will come for you. He came to the diner because of what happened with his wife and son but also took the opportunity to add the rest in. That's just how Clark/Superman is. You know the other things bothered him too. That's what makes him the iconic superhero. I have never lied to myself and thought if I had his power I would be the same. No, I wouldn't take over the world or rampage through the streets because I was angry. However I also wouldn't have the incredible restraint he has dealing with truly bad or even evil beings/people he faces constantly. After the second or third time having to stop someone from trying and/or killing more people I would probably not let there be a next time. I have morals and I don't want to hurt anyone, but if having those morals means people keep dying at the hands of the same person I would have a limit. Superman MAY have a limit but it is so far above anyone else's it is almost the same as not having one. And even though he does not have to he follows the law as much as possible. Turning the bad guy over to the "authorities". Do not kill. So while I might make sure someone does not have the chance to kill more people, Clark/Superman won't let the actions of another person make him change or even bend his own standards. Again - it's his morals and who he is on the inside that make him the best, not his power. There have been others with kryptonian D.N.A. that Clark has had to fight and stop. Other beings with enough power to actually hurt him. Almost all of them are "bad guys" because they end up thinking might makes right. Superman is might FOR right. All the alternate realities where he goes bad or gets controlled are not nice places. To end (and stop babbling on) I say again I wasn't really sure about Tyler because of how they handled him on a certain show before Superman and Lois. But from the start and consistently since he has shown not only to be a very good actor but one who can portray both Clark and Superman very well. Especially when you see the most powerful being on the planet have to work at being a good dad like any other guy! Or when a certain look from Lois can stop him mid sentence. Alien or not he lives as part of humanity and has a family. No superpower is going to make that easier for him than it is for anyone else. Luckily he is just as extraordinary as a person as he is as a superhero. Much respect to Tyler in bringing Clarks struggles along with Superman's to the show in equal measure. He does both very well. Now I'm going to play the clip again and enjoy seeing him do those very things.
Ok, just re watched the clip and had to add just a tiny bit lacking from my post. Tyler was full on badass through every second of the diner part. "Clark, is everything all right?" - slight pause - "NOPE". I grinned at that this time around. Lana was probably freaked. She knows Clark well enough that the simple one word response was not like Clark at all and she also knows he could level the diner with a forceful exhale. I now also think she and her daughter held Kyle back because they knew Clark was in no danger at all but also that it might not be a good idea to get near Clark at that moment. Good writing and great acting. Also, Tyler was full on badass! That guy has no idea how lucky he was.
Guy’s lucky to have simply been slammed on and held by a guy who can move several planets out of orbit in 1 go… That is superhuman restraint right there as he could easily have splattered the guy on the table…
Superman showed Super Restraint. As a father/husband myself if somebody hit my boy or pulled a gun on my wife...daughter watching or not, that probably would have been his last meal.
You would also go to jail
Come on you cut out one of the best lines of the scene when Lois says this is not a job for Superman and Clark says he's not going
I really need to just watch this show, all I’ve ever seen are these short clips on CZcams and they look great! Thnaks for sharing.
I really respect Superman's restraint. He could've Homelander'd his ass and call it a day, but he subdued him (while holding back greatly), and just scares him. Extremley disciplined, and goes with the saying "With great power comes great responsibility."
"boy, he's going to feel pretty stupid when he finds out"
"finds out what?"
"he's f***ing with the wrong family"
Nice😂
This is the scene that I wanted to see in MAN OF STEEL.
"If you had super-hearing, any second you'd hear the... pop!" - Superman vs. The Elite
This is just Derek Hale right here
Took a page out of Bat’s book “I will come for you” 🥶
Reminds me of Superman II and Man Of Steel bar scene really good callbacks
Wonderfully executed. Awesome Superman
The added background music add to the already tense scene!! Loved it because it showed the true restraint superman has to show.
Went full on Batman here
Batman would have dislocated the dude's shoulder and separated his elbow. Clark went easy
My favorite scene! I love Tyler Hoechlin! Nobody messes with Superman's family and gets away with it!
I like how the music feels almost like a heartbeat- it shows how the tension is rising along with the visuals. Sounds are so cool :)
1:41 i will come for you................ dad means business when those words are said.
INSTANT Superman II vibes!!!!!
And Man of Steel
Bear in mind this is a guy who can go toe to toe with Darkseid...
He's not that tough in this show but, he is probably the toughest we've seen in live action. Dude punched earth so hard that it split back into 2 earths (there were 2 alternate reality earths merging into one).
Probably my all time favorite Clark Kent scene. Love for his family comes before anything else.
I really love moments like this and in Man of Steel where random human bad guy gets aggressive and "pushes" Clark, and he doesn't move even a single nanometer. Both times I've seen this, the guy STILL gets even more aggressive and tries to keep fighting.
Clark:That was fun, I can see why Bruce does it.
Oh yeah, he's met Bruce before.
To be able to control ya emotions and still be hella enraged knowing u could literally pluck him into the atmosphere is crazy also this acting is top notch
This is one of the best Superman scenes ever filmed. It demonstrates a great understanding of the character and what makes him great. The anger is palpable and the restraint that he needs to show is unimaginable. It gives insight into how Superman needs to constantly restrain himself, and even this doesn’t make him lose control. Tyler Hoecklin portrayed it perfectly
If it had've been Bruce Wayne he would have worked him over up and down the street.
Batman would approve and be so proud of his BFF
I LOVE when he just bounces off Clark’s chest.
Man of steel did it, and now my favorite portrayal of Clark did it.
Show him what’s what, Kal!
This basically takes the ending diner scene from Superman II and takes it up a notch. I especially love how Clark doesn’t lose his cool, he gives the jackass a chance to talk it out, and defensively just takes him down.
I wonder how much he had to dial back his strength when he slapped the guys face to the bar. I imagine he would have to practice not accidentally killing people with what for him was gentle physical contact.
Now imagine if Superman was some sort of brutal anti-hero who isn't afraid of killing in his rage. This trash of a man was extremely lucky.
One of the best scenes in this show. Hands down BEST.
I love how the music is gone except for a soft beat that sounds like it’s Clark’s heartbeat, it even speeds up for a few beats when emit first looks at him, it would be terrifying if it started to speed up and he got angry
OK OK, I'll watch Superman and Lois now. XD
I got to be honest, this is one of my favorite scenes from the series. Clark Kent, NOT Superman, going after the person who harmed his child, was epic. No body excepts the quiet person to do anything, until you push them.
When the line was said I will come for you. It made me think of Liam Nelson in Taken....he wasn't screwing around either
Superman should have pushed back a little when he pushed him. It's big suspect that a full grown man shoves him and he doesn't move.
Especially when he puts the character that he’s clumsy
I don’t think he gave a flying floop in this moment lol
He's known to be farm strong, so yeah it's suspect but not out the ordinary in a world of supers
Tbf, Clark is 6ft 2 big strong farm boy. Dude is naturally huge
maybe, but I think it goes to show just how serious he is. especially compared to an earlier episode when he and Lois are investigating into Manheim and they come in and grab clark and Lois and hes all like "woah sorry careful" when he doesn't need to be. In this instance he was just pissed. doesn't give a damn about the act he knows he is better and stronger and wants to show hes not messing around. Most people wont really think much of it anyways just "damn Kent is tougher than we thought"
I mean the man was probably shitting himself since it probably felt like a semi truck was pinning him down
Love the way he stood there like a mountain when tryin to push him
I love the reactions in Sarah's family:
- Kyle - worried Clark's about to get his ass kicked and wanting to step in to protect him.
- Lana - Has faith in Clark's restraint but is evidently nervous because she's never seen him pushed like this.
- Sarah - Completely terrified because she thinks she's about to watch a Kryptonian literally tear a man apart.
I like how Lana's husband was ready to come to his rescue with a bit of a smile on his face like "welp, gotta help the ol nerd out in a minute".
Then he sees him in action just sits down realizing he wasn't needed.
And he and Clark grew up together (not as friends). He has NEVER seen this side of Clark before. To him, Clark was always a nerd who seemed easy to bully, even in adulthood. Pretty satisfying reaction.
"Hes not going"
It’s honestly so impressive the amount of strength he’s holding back. If he wasn’t when he slammed that guy into the counter he would’ve just exploded into a pile of blood and broken the counter and probably floor too
Love Superman scenes like this. I feel the thick AF tension in this and the similar scene in Man of Steel every time.
Man : who are you..
Clark : im batman..
😱😱😱
