Who would have thought a boy scout like Superman had such a sexy on-screen moment in him?
Richard Donner’s 1978 classic Superman was a landmark film in numerous ways, many of which influence comic book movies to this day. However, there is one thing this superhero masterpiece has that almost zero modern comic book movies don’t; a convincing romance. One scene, in particular, showcases the Man of Steel and his once and always-soulmate Lois Lane as they begin to get to know one another on the reporter’s rooftop terrace for an interview with The Daily Planet.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The night before the interview, Superman made his grand entrance into the public eye by saving Lois Lane and a pilot or two from a helicopter crash occurring on and above The Daily Planet. As such, the scene in question begins with Lois, dressed to the nines, pouring herself a little bit of liquid courage as she anticipates her rescuer's arrival. Behind her, he flies in from above, landing silently on her balcony.
Of course, none of this works without Christopher Reeve. His performance as Superman is an all-timer, as he perfectly displays the character's kindness, compassion, and strength. But don't get it wrong, this guy can flirt too! After he tells Lois he is not married, she follows up with "Do you have a girlfriend?" and he quickly shoots back with "No but if I did Ms.
Why Does 'Superman's Sexy Scene Work So Well? The screenplay, written by Mario Puzo, Robert Benton, and David & Leslie Newman, is obviously a huge part of why this scene works so well . The writers masterfully weave flirtations while also giving us a quick rundown of abilities that the last son of Krypton employs. "You know you shouldn't smoke!" he says to Lois.
Even with all the flirty dialogue and romantic glances displayed throughout this scene, one of its greatest strengths is making it clear that these two are destined to be together. Yes, we as the audience already know that the two are bound to fall in love because that's how it's been for 80 years but thanks to this scene that romance now feels real and palpable.
