Wait, THAT was Jimmy Olsen?
What would any superhero movie be without a handful of sneaky cameos?
It's practically expected to see a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo appearances in any new superhero film, yet even as far back as Richard Donner's seminal 1978 Superman film, the genre has had a knack for it.

Over more than 40 years of movies, the Man of Steel's cinematic output has boasted its share of bizarre, eyebrow-raising bit-parts, whether celebrities who used their clout to score a cameo, on-the-rise actors showing up for a hot minute, or in one case, an appearance by a beloved Superman character so inexplicable it left the fanbase fuming.
