7. Drunk Superman - Superman III
Superman III is the second-worst outing for the Man of Steel to date, yet it does feature one rather imaginative if totally bonkers scene in which Superman gets drunk, flicks nuts at the bar mirror, tells a kid that he despises him, and just for fun, straightens the Leaning Tower of Pisa. What's more, his hair looks messy, his beard begins to grow through, and Reeve essentially comes to resemble what I imagine an alcoholic Superman impersonator would look like. Though the Kryptonite-based explanation for his transformation is basically complete hooey, the scene is a lot of fun, and something completely different for the franchise. It's nice to see Supes shed his squeaky-clean image for a moment, even if it is admittedly a little goofy.
