I also love that he clearly doesn't actually need the help, but the gesture in that moment means the world to him anyway.I enjoy little nuances in performances that may be looked over by the GA eye. When the civilian helps Superman up from the debris, I love the look David gives him right before accepting his outreached hand. That little piece of acting tells a lot. Almost like he's surprised to see such support, and for the first time in awhile, the tides are changing to his favor. Loved that.
I've always said an essential part of any Supes story to me is that yes, Superman himself is inspirational, but he gets just as much inspiration from mankind as we do from him. It needs to be a two-way street to work for me. This scene is a prime illustration of that. Which is why I love the editing of putting this scene right after his "PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!" Because it immediately cuts to a scene illustrating why those people mean so much to him.
