SUPERMAN Extended Clip Spotlights Divisive "I'm As Human As Anyone" Speech & Krypto Attack

With James Gunn's Superman now available on digital, Fandango as officially released an extended clip featuring the Man of Steel's final act speech to Lex Luthor...

“That's where you've always been wrong about me, Lex. I’m as human as anyone. I love, I get scared. I wake up every morning and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other and I try to make the best choices I can. I screw up all the time, but that is being human, and that’s my greatest strength.”

For many fans, the Man of Steel's (David Corenswet) speech to Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) upon arriving to apprehend the villain towards the end of James Gunn's Superman was a powerful moment that perfectly encapsulated how the legendary DC Comics hero views himself and the people he strives to protect.

For others, it was a hokey, overlong, overwritten and out-of-place misstep.

However you may happen to feel about the scene, it features in the following officially-released clip from the DCU movie (via Fandango), which also includes Krypto attacking Lex when he begins to threaten Supes.

Yesterday, Gunn announced that a Superman follow-up titled Man of Tomorrow is set to hit theaters in 2027.

Have you watched Superman again since it became available on digital platforms? Let us know in the comments section.

Superman also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho (we wouldn't be at all surprised if they also return for Man of Tomorrow).

The cast also features Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell as "Ma" and "Pa" Kent, and Milly Alcock's Supergirl makes her DCU debut ahead of her own Woman of Tomorrow movie.

"And that’s a wrap," Gunn posted last year when filming concluded. "God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set - and for that I am forever grateful."

You can check out a synopsis for the movie below.

"In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind."

@ClungeOfSteel - I know this question will most likely be a fools errand but if I may genuinely ask: What's your deal man? Articulate your frustrations with this movie for me please. If you are so nice to induldge me that is. I am legitemately curious to see into the thought process of someone who is as ' active' on a site as this such as yourself. Cause I'm just a casual user, but you're on here under every Superman post. Tell me your story my guy.

@Ikusa - yeah, that is a moment I think superman would yell like that. He just murdered someone which is against everything he stands for. Both supes are good in my opinion but im still waiting to see a perfect superman on screen. If they had Cristopher reeve with today's action scenes it would be perfect for me. Rouths supes was good but the movie as a whole was bland. again that's just me

@ClungeOfSteel - That suit is terrible. No where near as terrible as James Gunn's pedo texts though.

@Malatrova15 - how many marvel hero’s killed villains in movies tv shows ?

Spider-Man killed mysterio , fantastic four almost killed earth until reed came up with plan trap galactus in black hole, Thor beheaded thanos , iron killed thanos , quicksilver or scarlet witch may have killed hero in avengers of age of ultron ,

@Colton - it was bullshit. Superman watches Lex blow a man’s brains out in front of him and then when he catches him, he gives him a lecture. The Superman is so weak.
