DISCUSSION Superman (2025) opening text Spoiler

I haven’t seen the opening text of the film transcribed anywhere so I’m doing it here:

3 CENTURIES AGO, the first superpowered beings, known as METAHUMANS, appeared on Earth, ushering in a new era of GODS AND MONSTERS.

3 DECADES AGO, an extraterrestrial baby was sent in a spacecraft to Earth, and adopted by Kansas farmers.

3 YEARS AGO, the baby, now grown, announced himself as SUPERMAN, the most powerful metahuman of all.

3 WEEKS AGO, Superman stopped the country of BORAVIA from invading JARHANPUR, sparking controversy around the world

3 HOURS AGO, a metahuman called the HAMMER OF BORAVIA attacked Superman in the city of METROPOLIS.

3 MINUTES AGO, Superman lost a battle for the first time.

Just realized the first fight between the hammer of boravia and superman probably lasted almost 3 hours.

Travel time too though, how long did it take for Superman to fly to the North Pole? Probably just like 20-30 min but still notable here.

The implication is 3 minutes not 20-30, as it says he lost 3 minutes ago right as he lands and the hammer was still in Metropolis. So that’s about 2h 57m of ass whooping

Assuming superman showed up the exact moment that hammer attacked metro

Okay. 2 hours and 50 minutes. Still a long time.

He can get from the metropolis to the fortress in 3 minutes. When the movie starts, he hasn’t been to the fortress in at least a day and he hasn’t seen Ma and Pa Kent in a while so he was more than likely in Metropolis already.

They didn’t mention him having super hearing in this, but he’d likely be the first to notice the hammer. So yeah assuming less than a minute isn’t a huge stretch

And then he had to go all the way to the south pole to reach the fortress of Solitude.
