Trivia
Henry Cavill refused to take steroids to muscle up for the role. He also refused any digital touch-ups or enhancement to his body in his shirtless scenes. He said it would have been dishonest of him to use trickery while playing Superman, and he wanted to push his body to the limits, to develop his physique into one that was worthy of the character.

Goofs
When the ships arrive and broadcast the message to the world, multiple cities across the planet are shown, but it is nighttime in all of them.

Quotes
Jor-El: 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.

Crazy credits
The Warner Brothers, Legendary Pictures, DC Comics and Syncopy Inc logos are shaded steel gray and appear in swirls and bends of Kryptonian metal.

I've changed my mind

Here, eleven years after this movie released, I have changed my mind about this movie. In the last eleven years, we have seen so many others DCEU and MCU superheroe movies, with one would or could connect to the other, making us assume or create some fan theories, about what happened and what will happen next.

For example, I think Infinity War and End Game were the peak MCU, everything after that the storyline kinda made up. While DCEU to be honest never even started. The connection between one another felt forced.

But this movie, can be a standalone movie. No need of sequel or prequel, it's already a great movie about a man.

Every essential you need to he a superhero is fulfilled. The background, the struggle, the realization, principles. Everything. It's a perfect superhero movie.

Initially I rated 7, but now it's a solid 9.
