History Funny / ManOfSteel

* When Lois arrives at the US military's post in Canada investigating [[spoiler:Kara Zor-El's scout ship]]. Clark, going by "Joe," is tasked with collecting Lois's belongings, and Lois tells him to be careful because they're really heavy. Clark has every single one of her bags slung on his arms, clearly unhindered by their weight. Lois stares [[{{Beat}} for a moment]] and then gets right back to work.

* After informing Lois that he's going to cauterize a wound [[spoiler:given to her by a robot in the Kryptonian scout-ship]], Clark gently orders her: "Hold my hand. This is going to hurt."

** "Safe travels, Miss Lane. It is highly unlikely we will meet again. ({{beat}}) Move your head to the left." [[spoiler:Cue one of Zod's soldiers attempting to attack Lois.]]
* During the battle in Smallville, Hardy tells the fighter jet pilots to use deadly force. Deadly force...against super-powered aliens.

* When Superman sees an adult Pete Ross [[spoiler:after he and Faora crash-land into the IHOP where Pete works]], he gives a look that screams "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe"

* Superman about to lift off, which generates shock waves:

* "Where did you train? ON A FARM?!" Again, it's all about Creator/MichaelShannon's delivery; here, Zod's tone just screams "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe"

*** It's also funny in an ironic meta way, considering Creator/HenryCavill is [[FakeAmerican the first non-American actor]] to be playing Superman.

Some people might be quick to say that there's no humor in ''Man of Steel''. This page will prove them wrong.

*** The way Swanwick just wearily nods and even kinda grins at thatafter that comment really sells it. It implies [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder that he's used to the captain's behavior]].

-->'''Swanwick:''' How do we know you won't one day act against America's interests?\\
'''Superman:''' I grew up in Kansas, general. I'm about [[TheAllAmericanBoy as american as it gets]].

'''Captain:''' ...nothing, sir. [[DistractedByTheSexy I just think he's kinda hot]].\\

'''Captain:''' Mmmhmm, yes, sir.

Crowe also mentions that there was "a lot of air involved" with another baby actor.

* Clark rips a burning oil rig's door open to save the workers trapped inside. The workers are quite puzzled at first when seeing their savior, who's ''{{shirtless|scene}}''.
