Context Heartwarming / SupermanReturns

Go To

1* The late night everybody works at the Daily Planet, with Clark Kent wolfing down take-out with Lois' son Jason and Jimmy Olsen. The actors have natural chemistry and it's fun to see all of them hanging out like family.
2* Martha Kent finding the meteor containing unconscious Clark safe and sound from his long journey and she embraces her son, with tears of joy.
3* Jor-El's inspirational speech to his son, direct from the first movie:
4--> '''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 -- [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything I have sent them you...my only son.]]"
5** Hell, the ''music'' for that teaser was a CMOH as well. In about a minute and a half or so, it manages to capture the heart, hope, optimism, and all around spirit of Superman probably even better than the iconic Superman theme!
6* When Superman flies above the storm clouds to a bright blue sky and triumphantly bathes himself in the glorious warmth of Earth's golden sun, gathering the strength and courage to throw a rapidly growing ''continent'' of Kryptonite into space.
7* The part where Brutus plays the piano along with Jason. Even a ruthless criminal can be nice at times. [[spoiler:Shame that niceness [[WouldHitAGirl disappears immediately]] when he catches Lois trying to send a fax...]]
8* Richard White going back to save Superman after he gets stabbed with a Kryptonite shank because Lois asked him to.
9* Just how excited [[Characters/SupermanJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]] is to see Clark back.
10* Later in the movie, Richard says that he heard a lot about Clark from Jimmy, who never shut up about him. Even if he was largely ignored by Lois and everyone else, Clark still always had one friend in the ''Daily Planet''.
11* Perry White gets a PetTheDog moment after Superman lays comatose in a hospital, when he sees Lois leaving her desk and irritably asks her where she's going, and Lois responds, "To the hospital!" Realizing what she's doing, he lets her off with a smile.
12* Franchise/{{Superman}}, remembering Jor-El's last message to him from the first film and telling it to ''his'' son Jason asleep in his bed.
13--> '''Superman''': You will be different, sometimes you'll feel like an outcast, but you'll never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.
14* The moment in the credits when this comes up:
15--> "To Creator/{{Christopher|Reeve}} and Dana Reeve: A pair of real-life superheroes"
