2. The First Sighting of a Superman
In the comics Clark Kent saved Lois Lane by flying in and catching the doomed shuttle plane she was in. No suit, no cape, just as a mysterious stranger who came out of nowhere. Superman Returns did a fine version of this to dazzling effect (that plane catch is still the greatest Superman moment on film for me). Whatever they do with Man of Steel, Clark Kent's first public display of power has to be epic and of course involve Lois Lane. That hero crush complex she has, has to start somewhere right? I'd love Clark to pull a big save in the middle of Metropolis, in his regular clothes. I guess it's a tough thing to pull off in the current world of mass media, mobile phones and CCTV but the people of Metropolis begging to know more about this mysterious hero is a key element to what I want to see happen next. This super man has to be taken into the hearts of the people of Metropolis and in turn prove himself to them as the film progresses.
