From Quiz "Superman Returns"





Superman Returns Trivia Questions
1. In the opening scene, who received a huge inheritance?

From Quiz "Superman Returns" 101

Answer: Lex Luthor

The movie began with a woman on her death bed speaking to Lex Luthor about how she knew he deserved a second chance. She mentioned a previous deal they had in which he would take care of her in exchange for her getting him released from prison. She signed a document leaving him all of her assets and then took her last breath.

2. What was the title of Lois's Pulitzer prize-winning article?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: "Why the world doesn't need Superman"

She started to write "Why the world needs Superman" halfway through the film, but never got further than the title. She did write one years ago called "I spent the night with Superman" which her boyfriend Richard reminds her of, but the title was Perry's idea. That's what Lois said anyway!

3. How tall is Superman?

From Quiz Superman Returns!

Answer: 6 feet 4 inches

Lois is talking about stats for Superman with Richard when she mentions that he is 6 feet 4 inches. Richard then asks how tall Lois thinks Clark is, but she only guesses that he is around 6 feet 2 inches or 6 feet 3 inches. 6 foot 1 inch was never mentioned.

4. In the first scene at the Kent residence, which board game was seen on the kitchen table?

From Quiz "Superman Returns" 101

Answer: Scrabble

An early scene took place where the Kent family resided and Martha Kent was washing dishes in the kitchen. The camera flashed over to the table where you could see the Scrabble board out. Then, a huge rumbling sound erupted, and the Kent residence started to shake.

5. When Lex and his gang go back to "his" mansion that he got in the old lady's will, why is there only one dog left?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: One was eaten by the other

You can see the remaining dog chewing on a bit of bone and there is a lot of orange fluff about. I thought he was eating the old lady's body for a second but hopefully Lex wasn't so cruel as to not give her a funeral, even though he did marry her to get everything she had. Kitty adopts the other dog although it might have a similar fate to its brother when Lex starts eyeing it up at the end.

6. Just before Superman officially returns to Earth, his adopted mother Martha Kent (Eva Marie Saint) bids good-night to a neighborhood friend. The two are apparently playing a board game. Which one?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: Scrabble

As Superman's ship approaches his mother's farm, everything in her home rattles and shakes, including a Scrabble board that has not been cleared off.

7. Lois picked Jason up at school before they were kidnapped by Lex. What time did Lois pick him up from school?

From Quiz Superman Returns!

Answer: 3:15 p.m.

When Lois has gone missing, Richard calls Jason's teacher to see if Lois picked up Jason. When he hangs up, he says that she did pick him up, at 3:15 p.m.

8. Which famous Brit makes a cameo appearance as one of the shuttle's astronauts?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: Richard Branson

You can see the adventurer and business man a couple of times and he even has a line! His company, Virgin, is looking to make commercial space travel a reality so maybe he was getting tips from this experience. This was his first acting role since his not quite Oscar-worthy appearance as a market stall owner in one of the London episodes of "Friends".

9. The morning after his return to Earth, Clark Kent awakens in his childhood bedroom. His ceiling is decorated with stars. All of the stars are white, except for one. What color is this anomalous star?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: red

This is apparently a bit of an in-joke for the comic book fans who know that Krypton, Superman's home world, orbited a red star. One has to wonder, though, how and why a single star on that ceiling would have been colored red when Clark was a child -- he didn't learn that he came from a world in a red star system until he was in his late teens. Oh, well.

10. How many coconuts did Kitty tell Lex they had had on the island with them, before he had thrown one into the water?

From Quiz Superman Returns!

Answer: 6

Kitty told Lex that they only had 6 coconuts and he said that he would trade 300,000 coconuts for 1 quart of fuel. Kitty then replies that if he did that, they wouldn't have anything to eat.

11. What was Clark Kent's birth name?

From Quiz "Superman Returns" 101

Answer: Kal-El

Early on, Lex Luthor visited the Fortress of Solitude and noticed a recording of Jor-El speaking to his son. He informed his son that he was the only survivor of Krypton and that the crystals in the Fortress had literature embedded in them. Then, he stated that his name was Kal-El, which was Clark Kent's birth name prior to the Kent family adopting him.

12. What does Lois borrow from Clark on his return to the "Daily Planet"?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: Stapler

She doesn't seem that excited to see her old pal after a five year absence and isn't at all interested in where he's been! At least he got his stapler back though.

13. Superman returns to Earth in a spacecraft made of the same kind of crystals that make up his Fortress of Solitude. It crash-lands near the Kent farm. Clark later assures his mother that the spacecraft has been disposed of. What happens to it?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: He buries it.

I can't for the life of me imagine why Clark would bury the spacecraft, rather than disposing of it in any of the other manners I've suggested. If you bury something, someone can discover it someday. I'm just saying.

14. Which employee at "The Daily Planet" made Clark a cake one day?

From Quiz "Superman Returns" 101

Answer: Jimmy Olsen

Clark went to "The Daily Planet" one day when an elated Jimmy Olsen noticed him and said hello. He told him how pleased he was to see him again and then went to go get him something which he made. He showed Clark a crumpled up cake.

15. How was Superman distracted during Lex's museum raid?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: Kitty was in an out-of-control car

Kitty was supposed to pretend her brakes didn't work but Lex had cut them for real. He said it was because Superman could tell if people were pretending. Naturally, Superman came to her rescue and even flew her to the hospital.

16. How is Lois Lane's fiancé Richard (James Marsden) related to Perry White (Frank Langella), editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: He is Perry's nephew.

Richard certainly seemed like a nice guy, but I saw no reason why it was important for him to be Perry's nephew.

17. What is Lois' password on her computer at the Daily Planet?

From Quiz Superman Returns!

Answer: SUPERMAN

We find the password out when Richard is trying to get onto her computer and he sees that it is password-locked. He tries JASON and then RICHARD for the password, but neither work. Clark then suggests trying SUPERMAN, and it works.

18. Who wondered why a launch of a space shuttle was only being covered by one news network?

From Quiz "Superman Returns" 101

Answer: Lois Lane

Lois and a bunch of other reporters were riding on an airplane which had a space shuttle on top that would be launched into space. One woman gave some facts about the shuttle but was interrupted by Lois asking a question as to why only one news network was covering what appeared to be a notable event. The woman requested that Lois and others save all inquiries until after the launch.

19. What does Richard think Lois has been doing on the roof?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: Smoking

She had gone up there for a smoke but Superman turned up and whisked her away for a chat. They nearly kiss, but Lois can't quite bring herself to do it.

20. Jimmy Olsen (Sam Huntington) takes Clark Kent to a bar, where Clark (surprisingly) imbibes alcohol. What does he drink?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: beer

Jack Larson, who plays the bartender in this scene, played Jimmy Olsen in "The Adventures of Superman" in the 1950s. There's a mildly touching moment when, after Superman saves Metropolis, Larson's character and Huntington's character share a celebratory embrace. Jimmy, meet Jimmy!

21. What was the name of Kal Penn's character in the movie?

From Quiz Superman Returns!

Answer: Stanford

Kal Penn played one of Lex's men, Stanford. He is the one that drops the piece of crystal into the model river. He also dies at the end of the movie when he is crushed by falling rocks.

22. When Lois and her son, Jason, find themselves faced with Lex's assortment of wigs, what does Jason say?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: "I like the curly one"

Lois realizes whose boat this might be and tries to leave but bumps into a very bald Lex who's brushing his teeth. Stupid inquisitive reporters! Her son even asks if they're trespassing at the beginning and she says 'yes', but that doesn't stop her and now look what has happened!

23. Certain characters from the Superman mythos are known for speaking "signature" lines of dialogue. Which one do we hear in "Superman Returns"?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: "Great Caesar's ghost!" [Perry White]

Perry (Frank Langella), Clark's boss at the "Daily Planet", finally gets to say the line for which his character, in the comic books, has always been famous. Neither Jackie Cooper (from the first four Superman films) nor Lane Smith (from the "Lois and Clark" TV show) ever got the chance to throw out that particular exclamation.

24. Why is Lois unconscious when Superman rescues Lois, Richard and Jason from Lex's sinking boat?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: She tried to climb out of the door but it closed, hitting her on the head

It looked painful, but Superman gave her the old once-over when they were safely on the sea-plane and told Richard she'd be fine. I don't think Richard liked the way Superman was looking at his girlfriend, but what can you do?

25. Superman saves a space shuttle crew just before saving the life of Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). What is the name of the shuttle?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: Genesis

The out-of-control shuttle is attached to the 747 carrying Lois Lane, until Superman separates the two craft with his heat vision.

26. Who wrote a newspaper article titled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman"?

From Quiz "Superman Returns" 101

Answer: Lois Lane

There was an early mention in the movie at "The Daily Planet" office about how Lois Lane had written an important article for "The Daily Planet" titled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman". The reason of its prominence stemmed in Lois winning a prestigious award for it. Another time the article was mentioned was during a conversation at dinner between Richard and Lois.

27. When asked by Lex, what did Kitty suggest his father's last words to him had been?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: "You're losing your hair" and "Get out!"

I don't think that was quite the response Lex was looking for! Apparently, Luther Senior's final words to him had been something about the world always needing more land. So Lex sets out to build his own continent.

28. Diabolical genius Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey), Superman's arch-nemesis, spends much of the film aboard a magnificent yacht. What is its name?

From Quiz Superman Returns

Answer: Gertrude

The yacht is presumably named for Gertrude Vanderworth, the elderly multi-millionaire whom Lex married, and from whom he inherited great wealth after her death. Gertrude is played by Noel Neill, who also played Lois Lane in the "Adventures of Superman" television series.

29. Where does Clark live when he moves back to the city?

From Quiz Superman Returns!

Answer: we never find out

In the beginning of the movie, when Clark goes back to the Daily Planet he mentions that he doesn't have a place to live yet. We never find out whether Clark found a place or not.

30. How was Richard White related to Perry White?

From Quiz "Superman Returns" 101

Answer: He was his nephew.

While talking with Lois one night, Richard spoke of how they originally met and then got into discussing Lois's articles on Superman. She stated to Richard how she literally was Superman's press agent due to how often she covered him. Shortly after this statement, she mentioned that Perry White was Richard's uncle.
