Okay, was listening to the 2-disc Superman: The Movie Original Soundtrack, with the bonus and Alternative tracks, while re-reading this, so, in order:
Breakfast with his Mom. Wow, I can recall a few conversations with my own mom that went something like that (minus the superhero stuff), good characterization there;
Also, the "talk" with Ben. NICE.
Perry? Well, Perry was Perry. As Stan Lee would put it: 'nuff said.
The bit with Jason at the end...
(and this is directed at Clark, not you, Shado)
OH, COME
ON, CLARK! HOW DID YOU
NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING, AFTER HE GOT THAT REALLY GOOD LOOK AT (both of) YOU WHEN THEY REPLAYED THAT INTERVIEW ON THE PLANET'S BIG-SCREENS???
After all, he's a CHILD, not an IDIOT.
