Superman Returns "I'm always around"

[Comic Book Boy]

I loved RETURNS, but can someone please explain how Superman can say, "I'm always around" in a story about him being gone and missing everything?

 

[Dope Nose]

super irony.

 

[Lighthouse]

Yeah, I never understood that either. Something better would have been "I'll never leave again", instead he outright lies.

 

[Action ACE]

He is simply implying that he won't leave again. It's not that hard to figure out.

But I guess I can see how it may confuse some people.

 

[Freddy_Krueger]

At this point he's already apologized for leaving Lois. "I'm always around" is basically him telling her that he won't leave again. When he says it at the end of the film, it's more like, "I'll always be there for you and Jason."

No, he implies that earlier when he say's he is sorry he left. Here he just says something that doesn't make sense.

Exactly, its just his way of saying "I will always be around from now on and i will never leave again."

 

[Brainiac 2009]

I thought it was a subtle reference to him being both Superman and Clark Kent.

Perhaps Clark should say the same words when he reveals his Superman identity to her.

It did seem kinda strange when he said this to Lois on the rooftop of the Daily Planet. It would have made more sense if he only said it at the end of the film and it would have been nice if he actually did say "I will never leave again" or something close to that. I know you don't need everything spelled out in a movie but in a case like this it wouldn't have hurt. I also wish Superman would have said a simple "Thank You" to Lois at the end of the film before he flies off for her telling him whatever she told him in the hospital.

^He didnt need to say thankyou out loud. Didnt you see the looks Lois and Supes gave each other outside Lois' house?

Lois gave Supes a look as if to say "I'm sorry i didnt tell you straight away"

Supes gave Lois a look that said "Its ok, as long as you told me and as long as i know."

Hence why they seemed okay with each other by the end.

Yea, I understand what you're saying but that's a lot to get out of a scene from just two people looking at each other. This is not aimed at you, but are we supposed to add in what we think the characters are saying in this movie? I know a lot can be said without dialogue but a few lines here and there won't hurt but I guess that's done intentionally, to leave it open for interpretation. Also, Lois couldn't have told him right away as she didn't know Superman was the father until later on.

A look can say a lot more than words though and this is evident in a lot of scene's in this movie as well as many others like The Last Samurai, PJ's King Kong, Ang Lee's Hulk, or even sometimes in Batman Begins and the Spiderman movies.

I think the looks they gave each at the end said the exact thing i posted before. And as for your last sentence, Lois might have known that Superman was Jasons Father before, if she didnt, she still could have told him in the seaplane before he left.

dont u guys get it yet?? the superman singer's portraying is is the messiah and if anyone knows about the bible the god, jesus and the holy spirit are one therefore its singer's way of saying im the holy spirit im everywhere.

Yes thats another meaning for the phrase as well. The bible says God/Jesus is always everywere.

The comment was to Lois.

On the rooftop she asked, " Will I see..."

At the end she asked, " Will We see..."

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

It's a stupid movie with stupid dialogue.

 

[Mr. Thing]

The feeling I got from it was that, what he was saying was pretty tongue in cheek. Kind of making fun of himself.

 

[Immortalfire]

He told the President in SII he wouldn't let them down again.


Oh I forgot...vague history

 

[Showtime]

The I'm Always Around line shouldn't have been used twice in the movie, I don't understand why they used it at the roof top scene, they should have only used it at the end. The phrase is actually a substute for saying "I love you" in my opinion.

It's a stupid movie with stupid dialogue.

Perhaps one of your lame cartoon writers could have come up with some better dialogue? Why don't you go back to watching SNAKES ON A PLANE and let the adults talk, OK?

Anyway, this is one line of dialogue I wish hadn't been in the film. I think it would have been better suited given the situation had he said, "I'll always be around," instead.

Didn't confuse anyone chief. And the fact is he wasn't around for 5 years.

 

[buggs0268]

What he should have said at the end of the movie was "I will always be around"

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

its his way of keeping from haveing to pay child suport.

 

[Comic Book Boy]

But "I'm always around" reffers to the present and also the past. Not the future. This is clearly untrue. Like others mentioned, he needed to say, "I will always be around." Then he wouldn't be wrong.
