** Although he has had many, many awesome things to do before, {{Superman}} had been off the big screen for 19 years before he returned in, well, ''Superman Returns''. It was of crucial importance that Superman did something spectacularly awesome, and he did not disappoint: he is shot with [[ShootingSuperman several hundred bullets]] from a minigun by a {{Mook}}, followed by the Mook getting off the minigun, pulling out a pistol and firing point-blank into his face. ''The bullet bounces off Superman's '''[[EyeScream eye]]'''''. The Mook looks [[Main/OhCrap horrified]]. Superman smiles. And the crowd cheers as Superman wins the fight merely by ''showing up''.
** Supes' first helicopter-grabbing appearance in the first movie, and its recapitulation in ''Returns,'' are both fittingly awesome.
** Throwing an ISLAND/CONTINENT MADE of KRYPTONITE INTO SPACE! Oh, and it ends up becoming a PLANET...New Krypton.
** His first public reappearance. He saves the Space Shuttle, a jet full of innocent people and reporters, ''and'' Lois, and then politely admonishes them that flying is, statistically speaking "still the safest way to travel." Then he stands in the doorway. The crowd goes wild. And because it was a televised game, the entire city gets to see it and also cheer with great enthusiasm. All while his ThemeTune is playing in the background for the audience. Oh, yeah.
** There's also the scene Lois and her family are trapped in the galley of a severed ship sinking to the bottom with a mournful dirge playing as you see their despairing faces through the portal as they hopelessly struggle against an inescapable doom. And ''that'' is when you see two red boots on the window as the Superman March starts into full thunder as Superman saves the day!
** When Lois Lane's [[spoiler:five-year-old son saves her from a mook BY THROWING A PIANO AT HIM. Thereby revealing who his real dad is]].

*** Hell, ALL of issue 10 qualifies.
** This may be more a personal one, but my respect for All-Star Jimmy shot up tenfold when he [[spoiler: swung a punch at Super Luthor]]. It didn't do jack, but still.

* ''{{JLA}}/TheAvengers'': In issue #3, Superman finally decides enough is enough with {{Thor}}, growling when Thor claims strength comes from within "Tell yourself that, Mister... Ease yourself to sleep at night while you let your world go to '''hell'''! Where I come from, though, '''''LIVES MATTER'''''!" When Thor tries to bring Mjolnir on his head, Superman ''catches'' the hammer, causing an astonished Thor to react, "Odin's beard! How ''can'' you...? The mightiest... mightiest in Nine Worlds cannot..." Superman retorts, "S-sorry... sorry to disappoint... but in... my world, it looks like the dials '''''[[UpToEleven GO UP TO ELEVEN]]'''''!" and crushes Thor with a roundhouse punch, knocking him out cold.

* In Superman: Earth One, while Supes is cool as usual, Jimmy Olsen gets his own CMOA. When the big bad is tearing apart Metropolis in search of Superman, Jimmy calmly stands in the middle of the destruction, diligently taking the pictures. When the big bad notices and questions Jimmy on this, Jimmy explains that he is willing to risk his life for the truth, and even as the big bad is preparing to kill Jimmy, he remains standing, continuing to take his pictures. Luckily for him, Supes takes him down. . . and Jimmy takes another picture of the wreckage, mentioning the other reason he was out there. To paraphrase, because the truth kicks serious ass.

* ''Superman''
** From the original 1978 movie: As Krypton is ripping itself apart, Jor-El and Lara calmly watch as their son's ship safely soars away.
** The first film when Superman saved Lois. The dialogue is just golden.
-->'''Superman''': Don't worry, Miss. I've got you.
-->'''Lois''': You've got me? Who's got you?
** In the first film, Superman catches the first rocket and pushes it into outer space. Awesome by itself, but consider all he does when he ''can't'' stop the second missile. He allows an [=AmTrak=] train to use his body as a railroad track; catches a schoolbus as it's falling off the Golden Gate Bridge, AND...goes down beneath the crust of the Earth and lifts the San Andreas Fault back into place.
*** And he tops it all off, when he discovers he was too late to save Lois, by flying around the Earth to TURN BACK TIME.
*** Although to be honest, he would have been even ''more'' awesome if he'd handled the rogue missiles [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yavK0mnE3wI like this]].
* ''Superman II''
** "You ''will'' bow down before me, Jor-El! Both you, and then one day, ''your heirs!!''"
** Let's not forget... "Come to me, son of Jor-El... ''KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!''"
** Superman. Zod's hand. 'Nuff said. (so memorable that a friend of this troper likened someone making a comeback against their friend playing ''Bomberman'' to this scene)
* ''Superman III''
** Don't even ''try'' to pretend that the Superman vs. Clark Kent fight did not make Superman III worthwhile. And the [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome music]] at the end...
* ''Superman IV: The Quest for Peace''
* ''Superman Returns''
** Although he has had many, many awesome things to do before, {{Superman}} had been off the big screen for 19 years before he returned in, well, ''Superman Returns''. It was of crucial importance that Superman did something spectacularly awesome, and he did not disappoint: he is shot with [[ShootingSuperman several hundred bullets]] from a minigun by a {{Mook}}, followed by the Mook getting off the minigun, pulling out a pistol and firing point-blank into his face. ''The bullet bounces off Superman's '''[[EyeScream eye]]'''''. The Mook looks [[Main/OhCrap horrified]]. Superman smiles. And the crowd cheers as Superman wins the fight merely by ''showing up''.
** Supes' first helicopter-grabbing appearance in the first movie, and its recapitulation in ''Returns,'' are both fittingly awesome.
** Throwing an ISLAND/CONTINENT MADE of KRYPTONITE INTO SPACE! Oh, and it ends up becoming a PLANET...New Krypton.
** His first public reappearance. He saves the Space Shuttle, a jet full of innocent people and reporters, ''and'' Lois, and then politely admonishes them that flying is, statistically speaking "still the safest way to travel." Then he stands in the doorway. The crowd goes wild. And because it was a televised game, the entire city gets to see it and also cheer with great enthusiasm. All while his ThemeTune is playing in the background for the audience. Oh, yeah.
** There's also the scene Lois and her family are trapped in the galley of a severed ship sinking to the bottom with a mournful dirge playing as you see their despairing faces through the portal as they hopelessly struggle against an inescapable doom. And ''that'' is when you see two red boots on the window as the Superman March starts into full thunder as Superman saves the day!
** When Lois Lane's [[spoiler:five-year-old son saves her from a mook BY THROWING A PIANO AT HIM. Thereby revealing who his real dad is]].
** Lex Luthor gets one, too.
---> '''Lex''': Go ahead, say it. You know you want to.
---> '''Lois''': YoureInsane
---> '''Lex''': No, no, the other thing. C'mon, it's right on the ''tip'' of your tongue, go on...!
---> '''Lois''': Superman will never—
---> '''Lex''': '''''WRONG!!!!'''''
** Since we're on the subject of Lex Luthor...
---> '''Lex''': ''"[[LargeHam KRRRRRRRYPTONITE!]]"''
--->Luthor shanking Superman with a jagged piece of Kryptonite. '''Lex''': ''Now fly.''
** This Troper always felt that Lois' Main/{{Muggle}} love interest deserved a [=CMoA=] award for his response when Lois gets the fax-machine message to the Daily Planet. Does he run whining for help? Does he sit around waiting for Supes to show up? Does he angst about the fact that he doesn't have super-powers himself? Nope—he just gets up and goes to rescue them anyway.
** There's also a subtle one when Lois demands they go back and rescue Superman. Keep in mind they're facing heavy winds, jagged rocks, and possibly people with guns. Richard considers it for only a second before he says "okay" and turns the plane around.
** A [=CMoA=] for Richard comes when he takes off the seaplane-- this time ''without'' Super-help-- thus doing what he previously thought couldn't be done.
** "General, would you care to step outside?"
** ''Superman Returns'' manages to pull off a [=CMoA=] in the ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W-XtWob9wo opening credits]]''. The epicness of the [[ShootTheMoney eye]] [[SceneryPorn candy]] plus John Williams' rousing [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome theme]] put a [[TearJerker lump]] in this troper's throat every damn time.
*** Heck, same goes for the original 1978 movie, too; you know you're in for a treat when even the ''opening credits'' are epic.
