Can't dodge it, can't catch it, can't pretend to be shot. A long moment of quiet reflection through super speed that there's no way to escape the consequences without looking like Superman. And yet, when it was over, everyone in the room still saw Clark Kent.
@@delcox8165 bro is going so fast, he could have blown the bullet's trajectory to hit the wall behind him, hell, even catch the Bullet to make it look like a blank or failed shot. plenty of ways to have gotten out of that situation he just took the opportunity to say, screw it.
1:55 just think about it. Every adult in that diner grew up with Clark and now they are seeing a side of him that no one suspected until recently. Going forward is going to be interesting. Seeing them interact with him now that they know what he can do.
Especially back in the DC universe most people think Superman lives in spaceship or something like that. Because he doesn’t wear a mask no one expects him to be among mortals.
Too bad it's the last season :( Probably why they chose to do it as well. Go out with a bang. First, he dies, comes back, and now everyone knows he's Superman.
his whole life passes through his eyes. This bullet means physically nothing to him, but it's just the final straw to how tired he was from hiding. This episode has literally no "super battle", yet is absolutely epic!
If the Superman movies ever had Superman look and react this way, it would be perfect. You see so many emotions in Clark. Resignation. Acceptance. Fear of the unknown. Sadness. And then finally....calmness and strength. What an amazingly well-acted and put together scene. Especially the slow motion. So well done.
Tyler Hoechlin absolutely nails Clark Kent as Superman. It's not either or, he's playing both at the same time....all the time. I think only Reeve has ever managed to approach that symmetry, but Tyler achieved it.
@@grayden4138 Yeah his performance is super under rated, I almost never see him mentioned when people talk about the best Superman. To be honest I think he's a better Clark than a Superman but he's great at both and normally we don't really get all that much from Clark as he's usually busy doing Superman things, it's always the Clark side that gets neglected.
The show is amazing, I’m sad it’s over. Tyler deserves more credit for his Superman. But to answer your question I think the closest to this was in BVS after the court scene. You can see Superman’s face with regret for not seeing the bomb, but then it hits him that the whole world already was scared of him, now they’re gonna hate him.
Imagine how surreal everyone in that diner felt. To go from the most terrified some of them have ever been to feeling the most safe they've ever felt in a matter of half a second. THAT'S how Superman is supposed to be.

I agree. I don’t think people are commenting on that particular moment so much, but I gasped when they cut to her sweet, serene looking face. As you say, understanding, acceptance, and love. One of the best scenes I’ve seen. Great acting from everyone, especially Tyler.
I completely agree. When the gun was fired, Lois was not looking at Emmitt with any kind of fear. Rather she was looking at Clark, a look of complete trust on her face. Also, the reassuring smile she gave him afterward is perfect.
@@NotForTheFaintOfArt-gw7owThe realisation that she already knew that he was going to look at her... That is what got me. This is peak partnership, trust, and love. My favourite couple.

@ThatBrendonGuy I agree Clark respected him but I'm sure he wasn't crazy about him seeing how aggressive he was towards Lana but in all fairness to Kyle he was always an excellent father
So far I haven't actually sat down and watched this series yet. I've only seen clips like this one on RUclips, but this has to be my favorite version of Superman. This actor appears to be right on point. He gives a warmth and realism to the character that the others who've played it don't have.
I haven't watched the show either. Everything I know about the show is from youtube. I don't even know if I was able to pick the channels up. I use satellite to pick up TV channels. If it shows up on Netflix I'll watch it. I did use to like smallville. Maybe I'll like this one to.
Same here man. From YT clips alone, this looks like the best Superman adaptation yet. Very deep, well acted, touching, good action, well written. And the biggest surprise here is that it’s on the CW
i never really understood the logic how marvel is better because their heroes are humans that aim to be better than gods while dc sucks because their heroes are gods that lower themselves to be more human (power levels argument). shouldn't you want your superheroes to be more empathetic to the masses rather than being above them?
@@targetseeker i never really understood the logic that one needs to be better than the other, both have amazing heroes and both have terrible forgettable ones
The fact that he is Superman . Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. And still chose to have a family and live like anyone else in a town like Smallville must truly make them all feel like theres just something special about their town that cant be had anywhere else.
Tyler has come a long way. Most people tend to forget this part. But before S&L his version of Superman was just the punching bag of the Arrowverse, the show gave him some well deserved respect. Good for him.
Great point. I remember various RUclipsrs putting out whole videos calling Tyler the worst Superman because he "Jobbed" or was depicted by showrunners as less powerful or effective as Supergirl during his several apperences on that show. It was only when Tyler's Superman appeared in Crisis on Infinite Earths and interacted with the Tom Welling and Brandon Routh versions of the same character that his version started getting some respect.
@@TheLAGopher He was always good. He just got given shit writing. they had to knock him down to lift Kara up as opposed to just making him busy with other issues.
@@TheLAGopher No. Crisis made him look worse by him basically getting punked by Brandon Routh's Superman and Lois eye humping Tom Welling's Clark. Fans clowned on him even harder after that.
All the sacrifices his parents Jonathan and Martha made, jor el and Laura all the lessons they instilled into him, and their fears of this moment all came together you could see he was more afraid of us than we are of him in this scene because he doesn’t know if we would fully accept him. That’s why I love Superman he’s the most powerful being in the known universe yet all he desperately wants is to be us !
@ It’s his core values, his love of humanity and his ability that are what make him Superman. It’s not about him trying to be human, but him being ACCEPTED by humanity through his love of it.
@@Im.myfutureI always took from the Reeves Superman and this Superman was that he wanted to belong to be one of us but as Jor el said “Even though you’ve been raised by them, you will never be them” he still showed defiance in that he strove to set the example. I remember distinctly in the First movie he’s told “never interfere in human history” yet he decides to do so anyway because he saw himself as one of us ? I mean if I interpreted wrong I’ll accept that but I just always thought that was what he represented. we represent what he strives to be and he represents what we should aspire to be?
Superman’s superpowers aren’t his flight or strength or bullet immunity, it’s his compassion, his humanity, his forgiving nature, his love. Those are his real superpowers tbh and what makes Superman Superman.
I don't watch any of the episodes of Superman and Lois and yet when i watched this clip, i could feel the emotional strain and heartbreaking moment in Superman's eyes. This episode is that good.
Na he is good. He would just say he knew he was Superman and not a civilian, and he was proven right. He would go to jail for sure but not on manslaughter or attempted murder.
@@aliyahsulaiman11 - Yeah, they'll probably charge him with public endangerment. Even if he did know Clark was Superman, shooting him could have hurt someone else from ricocheting bullets.
This is straight up attempted murder. Doesn't matter if he "knew" Clark was Superman. He literally tried to shoot him. That will always be attempted murder.
I don't think Emmitt cares what happens to him at this point. His ego was so massive that he went back to the man who publicly threatened and embarrassed him, even while armed with the knowledge this man was a nigh-invincible alien super-being that can outpace bullets just to expose him and ruin his life out of sheer spite.
Them making the scene almost completely quiet during those first few seconds after the shot was fired…just gave me crazy goosebumps and chills. So much anticipation on what he’d do. This truly was directed and acted perfectly
Usually the big ol' S reveal is something that's so inspiring, and uplifting. It gives hope, that we get to fight back. but this flips it all on its head. Clark is so sad, and this feeling gives us an opposite feeling of surrender. Well done CW. I'll be so sad when this season ends.
Every time I watch this, I pick something new up on it. You could see him weighing his options before realizing the secret isn't worth it anymore. At the same time it was almost like he didn't realize he was ready to reveal it until he took off the glasses in the restaurant.
Oh, I love the color and detail of this suit. Not nearly as contoured with the muscle and the darker color makes the symbol stand out more. Plus those little El crests all over the suit when you look closer.
Some of yall need to watch the show. There's reasons why Clark choose to reveal his identity. He didn't do it on a whim. Imo the writers killed it. This hands down is one of the best Superman scenes ever. The payoff was way worth it.
I think this "for a CW show" point is not really as much of a surprise as you think. The CW shows have had a lot of amazing moments over the years, even if they have had bad ones as well.
Never watched the show but this scene made me very emotional. Cause Superman is my number 1 DC hero since i was a kid. This scene is just so good. And now i consider to watch the show.
LOVED this scene, just perfect!! Even the character of Emmett was so perfect, you can actuallly see in his face that he couldnt believe he was right. Fantastic acting! Really gonna miss this!!
This was the most emotional episode to date. They handled this storyline so well. I am so sad to see the show go. I wish we had more time with this cast n this way of story telling
From 0:36 to 1:58 there is no dialogue at all, no one speaking with their voices but you can hear Every word that is being said from just the their looks❤
This was awsome. Tyller Hoechlin was a pretty damn good Superman. This entire scene means so much because of the choices he made to keep the secret for so long. When the trigger is pulled and the blullet keaves the chamber of the gun, after being called out in front of so many people, the choice to hide and keep the sceret is taken from him. So long, so many years decided in a fraction of a second.. This realisation, taking off his glasses and looking at Lois is powerful...
“You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.” “The people of Earth are different from us, it's true, but ultimately I believe that is a good thing. They won't necessarily make the same mistakes we did, but if you guide them, Kal, if you give them hope, that's what this symbol means. The symbol of the House of El means hope. Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief the potential of every person to be a force for good. That's what you can bring them.” - Jor-El
"They can be a great people Kal-El. They wish to be... they only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I've sent them you... my only son."
The only reason the people of Earth didn't kill Superman for being a freak was that they couldn't. Their strongest weapons would have been completely ineffective. They all turned on Batman because, well, he's human. They can't threaten Superman though. He's a god fighting petty criminals.
This scene was absolutely powerful because love isn't found it is earned. The strong words of his late adopted parents finally got through to him being brave for his loved ones, and his parents would be proud.
After watching this bit several times, the thing I enjoy the most about it is the way his overwhelming power makes him look even more human. What a masterpiece!
I’ve been watching my shows since the 80s. At first I watched this show cause I couldn’t see this actor as Superman I remember him as a kid in a movie so to watch him at the time I was skeptical but man I loved this show.I was so bummed it was over but glad I got to see a wholesome super hero again the way it was meant to be
By far the most iconic scene out of all the seasons. This is why no other super hero wether Marvel or DC will be able to top this. He's your favorite super hero super hero. And ill be here forever for it.
The guy below who disagreed with you has a spiderman profile pic and you have a superman profile pic, makes for a funny picture hahah I just had to point it out lmao
The guy just casually “it’s alright, Supes, I’ll take it from here.” Just perfect. Like, the total “I got you” from the normal human beside the Demi god just felt great. Clark is just so tired and his friends are there for him right away.
Phenomenal episode that will hopefully get more credit as time ticks on. Every extra in that scene pulled more than their weight and made it way more impactful.
I always liked the idea that everyone in Smallville always knew Clark and Superman were one and the same, but kept hush about it out of pure respect of Clark and his family
This show is so awesome, It makes me tear up every episode. I know the movie is coming out but, This show needs to go on. This guy makes me think of Christopher Reeve and that is the highest complement I can give.
Didnt realize it til i watched this clip back but the guy playing candices dad was in the first episode of smallville. He was the kid that died as the scarecrow during the meteor shower.
My favorite superhero comics, shows, or movies are always the ones that do something that has never been done before. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman's children becoming a family, a normal kid from New York finding the suit of Spider-Man and putting it on to save the day without any powers, and now this.
This show is hands down the best adaptation of Superman, period. No matter what anyone says, Tyler Hoechlin is my all-time favorite Superman. He brings every side of Clark Kent and Superman to life-whether he’s dorky, funny, heartbroken, or fierce, he nails it every time. And Bitsie Tulloch? She’s my definitive Lois Lane. Her emotional depth in every scene is unmatched; she brings such intensity to those powerful moments. Season 4 alone cemented her as the ultimate Lois Lane in my eyes. The entire cast brings their A-game, no doubt. Even the previous Jonathan actor did a solid job, and Michael Bishop has been incredible in the role as well. I could keep raving about this show, but there’s just too much to say. This show deserved at least seven seasons, but I’m glad they’re going out with an epic finale. #SUPERMAN&LOIS4EVER
I really wish this show hadn't had to end 😢 It deserves at least 5 more seasons, because Superman is such an epic hero with a life that takes a long journey and time to tell in such a short amount of time
I really like how the lead of the bullet flattened and dropped, it wasn't just for show. Clark absorbed the energy of the impact which prevented it from ricocheting. This scene was incredible.
The first moments, him subtly stepping in the way to protect the guy behind him without being obvious about it. I'm in love with the small ways Superman watches over people.
I love the expression on Lois' face. Firstly, she feels totally safe. And on top of that she trusts Clark and her face says "however you decide to handle this, I'm with you"
Never watched the CW shows other than Smallville, but I really like this scene. It's a very interesting and well done way to force Clark to confront his double life in front of every single person that matters to him. In a way that he can't possibly escape or back down from. Very cool touch seeing it from his slow time perspective as well. Bravo to the writers.
I was really worried the final season would end up being bad because of the sudden cancellation of the show. Man I’m so glad I’m wrong. We’ve been going through a Superman Renaissance lately and this show is playing a huge part in that
That’s because Henry’s Superman was written and directed by Snyder. His goal was the visual effects for the most part and to squeeze all of the emotional depth of the character to a 2 hr movie. This series now has 4 season of character depth to explore which makes these scenes possible and earned.
People I'm ummm very much aware of all of that😂😂😂. Even if Henry's Superman was shit @piyushy5877, or worshipped as a "God", the whole comment was based off of Smallville, and any other version of superman since Reeves death has been highly underwhelming. Then you have Tyler's version which is the best, and was properly done right not from this show but when this version of superman was in the flash crossovers, and Supergirl... Superman and Lois went more in-depth in him but the proper portrayal of him by Tyler was in Flash and Supergirl which make this season the GOAT. Actually dare I say this is the BEST CW DC comics SHOW since ever. Smallville went into his back story but waited too long for him to fly, Routh Superman was a continuation of Reeves version. (Kingdom Come Superman) Hint why Superman Return was after Superman 4 Quest For Peace which is why in the flash crossover Routh wore the Kingdom Come suit, then Henry which I agree Snyder Fd up, but that version was based off of New52 comic version in which superman was seen as a god like being and was dark and gloomy for a Superman
This show did a lot of things right with Superman and this scene is one of them. Man I hope the James Gunn one gets it right. A lot of the best Superman stuff isn't him fighting a big monster but when he has to deal with conflicting emotions and impossible decisions
Thanks for all the comments, everyone! Really enjoying reading what you all thought about the reveal -keep the reactions coming!"
Hey, get fucked. Don't post spoilers
Not a huge fan of the lex luthor in this show they made him look like a redneck biker who doesn't act like a redneck biker

@@justinblake8852Por dónde puedo ver el cap 7?
the writing for this show is impressive for being under CW its good very good
Tyler made the best adapation of Superman in the CW Show. Which is why I love him so much!
OK, but who’s the guy at 0:14 with his hands up. Asking for a friend.
Why does Andrew wanna know?
Creepy
Michael Phelps
You?
2:12 even if Emmett was right, he is still going to be facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon in a public place.
Na he is good.
He would just say he knew he was Superman and not a civilian, and he was proven right. He would go to jail for sure but not on manslaughter or attempted murder.
@@aliyahsulaiman11 - Yeah, they'll probably charge him with public endangerment. Even if he did know Clark was Superman, shooting him could have hurt someone else from ricocheting bullets.
This is straight up attempted murder. Doesn't matter if he "knew" Clark was Superman. He literally tried to shoot him. That will always be attempted murder.
I don't think Emmitt cares what happens to him at this point. His ego was so massive that he went back to the man who publicly threatened and embarrassed him, even while armed with the knowledge this man was a nigh-invincible alien super-being that can outpace bullets just to expose him and ruin his life out of sheer spite.
Unless Luthor's lawyers step in. Luthor obviously must've made him an "offer", otherwise Emmett would've told him to get lost 😂
Them making the scene almost completely quiet during those first few seconds after the shot was fired…just gave me crazy goosebumps and chills. So much anticipation on what he’d do. This truly was directed and acted perfectly
The music starts when he releases the glasses. Perfection.
Usually the big ol' S reveal is something that's so inspiring, and uplifting. It gives hope, that we get to fight back. but this flips it all on its head. Clark is so sad, and this feeling gives us an opposite feeling of surrender. Well done CW. I'll be so sad when this season ends.
I'm 47 and this scene was heart wrenching to watch, I even welled up. It was Clark's sigh just before ripping open his shirt that hit me the hardest.
Every time I watch this, I pick something new up on it. You could see him weighing his options before realizing the secret isn't worth it anymore.
At the same time it was almost like he didn't realize he was ready to reveal it until he took off the glasses in the restaurant.
Oh, I love the color and detail of this suit. Not nearly as contoured with the muscle and the darker color makes the symbol stand out more. Plus those little El crests all over the suit when you look closer.
The muscle padding and shading in the last suit was just too much, this one its more subtle and looks more natural. Certainly a better look.
He actually has muscles tho
I wish the blue and red wasn't so dark.
@@BrandonWilliams-wf9yq to be fair, superman Muscles are gigantic and not easy to keep up. especially when you have to play catch up on filming.
@BrandonWilliams-wf9yq Yes he does, tyler is in damned good shape. The suits made him look puffy though.
Some of yall need to watch the show. There's reasons why Clark choose to reveal his identity. He didn't do it on a whim. Imo the writers killed it. This hands down is one of the best Superman scenes ever. The payoff was way worth it.
Agreed ngl Superman and Lois is my favourite show. I defo think they all smashed it. Tyler is defo my favourite Superman.
Agreed!!!
It's not like there's a lot of competition. Superman has never had the best writing.
The issue is that he never reveals his identity but with all this multiverse stuff we have to chock it up to some alternate reality.
remember if you watched the show his alternate from the other universe were like celebrities they didnt hide it @jookm
I have to say ... for a CW show, this reveal scene was really good!
It may be 'on' the CW, but it's really a HBO show given it's primarily funded and created by them.
@@weresmurf5731I think that’s been debunked for years now.
@@weresmurf5731 No its not. Its not even remotely funded by HBO.
I think this "for a CW show" point is not really as much of a surprise as you think. The CW shows have had a lot of amazing moments over the years, even if they have had bad ones as well.
Ever since its very first episode it was never a cw show or an arrowverse show, and you can feel it’s so unique
Never watched the show but this scene made me very emotional. Cause Superman is my number 1 DC hero since i was a kid. This scene is just so good. And now i consider to watch the show.
LOVED this scene, just perfect!! Even the character of Emmett was so perfect, you can actuallly see in his face that he couldnt believe he was right. Fantastic acting! Really gonna miss this!!
This was the most emotional episode to date. They handled this storyline so well. I am so sad to see the show go. I wish we had more time with this cast n this way of story telling
In a messed up way the budget cuts made them concentrate on story and…wow…just wow. They made a Superman story for the ages.
I’m happy that the show is gonna end
i'm super proud it's canadian, but embarrassed i didn't know it was this good
0:37 - Chrissy blinked
😂that mfer blinked soo fast
the silence makes it better, not only that, he had time to think about his life, change his clothes, put down his glasses and wait for it.
If he wanted he could have disassemble the gun before it even fired
This whole episode had me crying for how much I understand from so little being said or not even saying it directly. Just really hit the heart
This is why this is the best live action Superman ever made.
From 0:36 to 1:58 there is no dialogue at all, no one speaking with their voices but you can hear Every word that is being said from just the their looks❤
His costume has the little raised up "S"s, just like Brandon Routh's costume!
Yup. Best kind.
It’s better that way, more visually appealing in my opinion
so is the bullet drop.
I love how Lois doesn't even flinch. Like a Boss ❤
It's not a boss thing. Its a moment of acceptance
This was awsome. Tyller Hoechlin was a pretty damn good Superman. This entire scene means so much because of the choices he made to keep the secret for so long. When the trigger is pulled and the blullet keaves the chamber of the gun, after being called out in front of so many people, the choice to hide and keep the sceret is taken from him. So long, so many years decided in a fraction of a second.. This realisation, taking off his glasses and looking at Lois is powerful...
If the song "Star man" played in this scene, it would be absolute cinema.
Also the button flying off the shirt at 1:26 is a nice touch :)
At that speed it would have shattered a window
It was faster than the bullet itself 😂
That button could've killed someone, it was moving so fast.
Those French fries and the button and the lady ducking were moving faster than the bullet.
“You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.”
“The people of Earth are different from us, it's true, but ultimately I believe that is a good thing. They won't necessarily make the same mistakes we did, but if you guide them, Kal, if you give them hope, that's what this symbol means. The symbol of the House of El means hope. Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief the potential of every person to be a force for good. That's what you can bring them.”
- Jor-El
u enjoyed man of steel i can see. subscribe
"They can be a great people Kal-El. They wish to be... they only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I've sent them you... my only son."
The only reason the people of Earth didn't kill Superman for being a freak was that they couldn't. Their strongest weapons would have been completely ineffective. They all turned on Batman because, well, he's human. They can't threaten Superman though. He's a god fighting petty criminals.
@@KS-xk2sothose words from the original Superman by his Father is the Epitome of Superman and why he sent his son to Earth!!!!
That whole speech was lit 🔥
the look he gave lois was like i have to tell them to lift burden i have carried for so long
This scene was absolutely powerful because love isn't found it is earned.
The strong words of his late adopted parents finally got through to him being brave for his loved ones, and his parents would be proud.
Jesus loves you, and that is not earned! ❤Love you
After watching this bit several times, the thing I enjoy the most about it is the way his overwhelming power makes him look even more human. What a masterpiece!
Honestly, this show is so underated. Tyler has just grown on me. He is Superman.
Cavil is superman to me but this really gives us more smallville superman but more cinematic
😂😂
I like how the fries move just as fast as a speeding bullet 😂
It’s not called fast food for nothing
@ 🤣
@@mansome_6282 lmao, good one
plot twist: a speedster just so happened to be in town chilling there eating fries when it went down
0:43 the basket of fries flying made me chuckle lol
He kept them safe. His identity revealed proved his human side. Clark will always be Small Ville. And Small Ville will always protect Clark.
I’ve been watching my shows since the 80s. At first I watched this show cause I couldn’t see this actor as Superman I remember him as a kid in a movie so to watch him at the time I was skeptical but man I loved this show.I was so bummed it was over but glad I got to see a wholesome super hero again the way it was meant to be
The way I was hating on Candace when he came in lol until I heard the “he” part and was like oh better not be Candace spilling the beans😂😂
By far the most iconic scene out of all the seasons. This is why no other super hero wether Marvel or DC will be able to top this. He's your favorite super hero super hero. And ill be here forever for it.
I beg to differ
Do you know what ironic means d how is this In any way “ironic” ironic to what exactly???
"The original is still the greatest."-Dobie Gray
The guy below who disagreed with you has a spiderman profile pic and you have a superman profile pic, makes for a funny picture hahah
I just had to point it out lmao
The guy just casually “it’s alright, Supes, I’ll take it from here.” Just perfect. Like, the total “I got you” from the normal human beside the Demi god just felt great. Clark is just so tired and his friends are there for him right away.
His fast, but when he drops his glasses, it looks like normal time.
@1:02 I just need that 😩 instrumental 😩 😫 😭
It sounds very similar to 'On The Nature Of Daylight' by Max Richter, but I'm not sure if it is. Either way I think you'll enjoy OTNOD 👍
@loki21288 legend, thank you. I've been searching for days 🎉
@@loki21288I think you nailed it. It sounds a lot like that song.
Definitely gives the whole "i can't run anymore. Time for everyone to know"
One of the best scenes ever. It took the final season to do it and it was worth the wait. Loved this episode and this scene. 😊 🦸♂️
Phenomenal episode that will hopefully get more credit as time ticks on. Every extra in that scene pulled more than their weight and made it way more impactful.
I always liked the idea that everyone in Smallville always knew Clark and Superman were one and the same, but kept hush about it out of pure respect of Clark and his family
This show is so awesome, It makes me tear up every episode. I know the movie is coming out but, This show needs to go on. This guy makes me think of Christopher Reeve and that is the highest complement I can give.
This episode hit so hard to me, wow wow wow, just in the feels with this one 😢😢
Masterfully done, huge moment for the show. Can’t believe it’s gonna be over in less than a month :(
Didnt realize it til i watched this clip back but the guy playing candices dad was in the first episode of smallville. He was the kid that died as the scarecrow during the meteor shower.
Damn!
Brooooo😮
This is one of the best superman moments ever.
theres alot of people in that diner that grew up with Clark and a whole lot of weird shit in their childhood is starting to make alot of sense lol
My favorite superhero comics, shows, or movies are always the ones that do something that has never been done before. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman's children becoming a family, a normal kid from New York finding the suit of Spider-Man and putting it on to save the day without any powers, and now this.
Powerful. Just powerful. ❤️💙
This show is hands down the best adaptation of Superman, period. No matter what anyone says, Tyler Hoechlin is my all-time favorite Superman. He brings every side of Clark Kent and Superman to life-whether he’s dorky, funny, heartbroken, or fierce, he nails it every time.
And Bitsie Tulloch? She’s my definitive Lois Lane. Her emotional depth in every scene is unmatched; she brings such intensity to those powerful moments. Season 4 alone cemented her as the ultimate Lois Lane in my eyes.
The entire cast brings their A-game, no doubt. Even the previous Jonathan actor did a solid job, and Michael Bishop has been incredible in the role as well.
I could keep raving about this show, but there’s just too much to say. This show deserved at least seven seasons, but I’m glad they’re going out with an epic finale.
#SUPERMAN&LOIS4EVER
I really wish this show hadn't had to end 😢 It deserves at least 5 more seasons, because Superman is such an epic hero with a life that takes a long journey and time to tell in such a short amount of time
That scene was more impactful than any fight with a super villian.
One of the best episodes in any show I have ever seen. 10/10 for me!!!!
I really like how the lead of the bullet flattened and dropped, it wasn't just for show. Clark absorbed the energy of the impact which prevented it from ricocheting. This scene was incredible.
These moments make me wish that the show would go longer
The first moments, him subtly stepping in the way to protect the guy behind him without being obvious about it. I'm in love with the small ways Superman watches over people.
One of the most beautiful superman scenes Ive ever seen in my life. This show is such a treasure to behold, seriously.
Incredible scene. Also, very efficient use of special effects and the score.
“I’m sorry I lied to you all for so long.”
😩
I love the expression on Lois' face. Firstly, she feels totally safe. And on top of that she trusts Clark and her face says "however you decide to handle this, I'm with you"
Never watched the CW shows other than Smallville, but I really like this scene. It's a very interesting and well done way to force Clark to confront his double life in front of every single person that matters to him. In a way that he can't possibly escape or back down from. Very cool touch seeing it from his slow time perspective as well. Bravo to the writers.
Of all the films and TV series, this has to be the best Superman scene.
I was really worried the final season would end up being bad because of the sudden cancellation of the show. Man I’m so glad I’m wrong. We’ve been going through a Superman Renaissance lately and this show is playing a huge part in that
The music elevated the scene so much
After Christopher Reeves, this is the best version of superman.
Geez that was an amazing scene. Has Superman ever showed people like that in any previous films or comics?
Beautifully crafted and well written. The Flash will appreciate this.
One of the best if not the best version of Superman ever. HENRY was good but Tyler's version is on another level
That’s because Henry’s Superman was written and directed by Snyder. His goal was the visual effects for the most part and to squeeze all of the emotional depth of the character to a 2 hr movie. This series now has 4 season of character depth to explore which makes these scenes possible and earned.
Loosely put, Henry Cavill’s Superman did not have the luxury of Tyler’s Superman with time and nuance.
Henry was garbage
Henry was good 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Bro called the worst superman of all time good 🤣🤣
Henry was dg 💩.
Tyler is the modern GOAT
People I'm ummm very much aware of all of that😂😂😂. Even if Henry's Superman was shit @piyushy5877, or worshipped as a "God", the whole comment was based off of Smallville, and any other version of superman since Reeves death has been highly underwhelming. Then you have Tyler's version which is the best, and was properly done right not from this show but when this version of superman was in the flash crossovers, and Supergirl... Superman and Lois went more in-depth in him but the proper portrayal of him by Tyler was in Flash and Supergirl which make this season the GOAT.
Actually dare I say this is the BEST CW DC comics SHOW since ever. Smallville went into his back story but waited too long for him to fly, Routh Superman was a continuation of Reeves version. (Kingdom Come Superman) Hint why Superman Return was after Superman 4 Quest For Peace which is why in the flash crossover Routh wore the Kingdom Come suit, then Henry which I agree Snyder Fd up, but that version was based off of New52 comic version in which superman was seen as a god like being and was dark and gloomy for a Superman
Man ,I'm going to prove you're Superman. "
Superman "I am The hero of this story "
Beatful, raise the stakes, no hiding who u are come out and shine, and rise
I absolutely loved this scene, it was so beautifully done
Lois being tbe calmest in the room, was his answer on what he should do. She knew it was time.
I've experienced the very same time slow down that Clark is experiencing.. but, it's always when I'm driving to work and stuck in heavy traffic.
This show did a lot of things right with Superman and this scene is one of them. Man I hope the James Gunn one gets it right. A lot of the best Superman stuff isn't him fighting a big monster but when he has to deal with conflicting emotions and impossible decisions
Its rare that i look forward to a tv show these days.
But i actually can't wait for this to land on BBC iplayer.
All of the trailers look excellent.
I did not know this series existed until seeing this.
Just loved how Tyler's Superman felt, it was like Reeves mixed with Welling and Cavill.
Routh too, big time, it was incredible
