Action Comics #1 – Superman Returns

Bryan Singer payed homage to Superman's first appearance during a brief moment in Superman Returns that only those familiar with the iconic cover would have recognized. We're, of course, talking about when Superman picks a car up over his head and takes a step forward before setting it back down safely. It's a small, but memorable image for fans of the Man of Steel and it's one that works remarkably well in live-action.
