{{quote|'''Superman''': That man [Batman] won't quit so long as he can draw breath. ''None'' of my teammates will. Me? I've got a ''different'' problem. I feel like I live in [[World of Cardboard Speech|a world made of ''cardboard'']]. ''Always'' taking care not to ''break'' something, to break some''one''. ''Never'' allowing myself to ''lose control'', even for a moment. Someone could die. But ''you'' can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a ''rare opportunity'' for me to ''cut loose'', and ''show'' you '''''just how powerful I really am'''''. [Lets loose with a punch that distorts the air with a sonic boom and sends Darkseid flying... ''real far''.]}}
* [[No Man Should Have This Power]]: In "The Day the Cheering Stopped", Superman gets a magical sword which was apparently created at the dawn of time. It gives him incredible power (even for pre-Crisis Superman) and helps him defeat the villian. In the end he realizes the incredible power the sword will give him and feels that it will make him an all powerful protector. He decides he doesn't want this power and throws it into space.
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: After decades of teenagerdom, [[Jack Kirby]] finally let Jimmy reach the age of 21, and he stayed an adult until the [[Crisis on Infinite Earths|Crisis reboot.]]
* [[Official Couple]]: Superman and Lois Lane.
* [[Old Retainer]]: In the Post-Crisis reboot, Superman eventually inherits his father's faithful robot servant Kelex.
