Superhero Movie Quotes

Jonathan Kent, from Superman the Movie:

“You can do all these amazing things, and sometimes you think that you will burst wide open unless you can tell someone about it, don’t you? There’s one thing I know for sure, son. And that is, you are here for a reason. I don’t know what it is, exactly, but I do know this much: it’s not to score touchdowns.”

Bruce Wayne, from Batman Begins:

“It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.”

Aunt May, from Spider-Man 2:

“He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying around like that, saving old girls like me. And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they’ll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.”
