12 Unintentionally Hilarious Comic Book Movie Moments
3. Heat Vision Is For Sissies Superman has a ridiculous amount of superpowers, any one of which Batman would be extremely thankful for. For some reason, being an invulnerable alien with extreme super-strength and speed and a spit-curl that stays in place, despite his ability to fly faster than the human eye can see, simply puts Superman at a disadvantage. Or so thought the creators behind Superman IV: This Guy Clearly Needs More Powers. Lex Luthor has attached some plotoplasm to a missile which Superman throws into the sun, inadvertently creating the Nuclear Man (this is the stupidest sentence Ive ever written and I used to write lyrics for Tyga). At first, Lex Luthor believes that he can control Nuclear Man but he is mistaken and has to interrupt Supermans double-date where hes swapping between being Clark and Superman, because Superman is a pimp. They two beings get in a battle that takes them around the world, setting off a volcano in Italy and destroying the Great Wall of China. Which Superman subsequently fixes with his new wall rebuilding vision. Presumably because there was a lot of cocaine involved, a conversation like this ended up happening: Sidney J. Furie (Director): Talk to me, people, what have we got for Superman IV? Lawrence Konner (Screenwriter): Well, we thought that he really needs an update. Furie: An update? How so? Mark Rosenthal (Screenwriter): New powers. Konner: Exactly. Furie: New powers? Like what? Rosenthal: For starters, he needs something cutting edge. Konner: Something that hasnt been done before. Rosenthal: Like the power to heal shin-splints. Furie: I love it! Change that to something more realistic like the power to rebuild walls and its a go! The power to rebuild walls sure would have gone a long way in Man of Steel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfwHe0NqVvY
