And I can’t put my first by way of the wall? Possibly I ought to have learn this factor nearer. I’m a farmer?’ So I checked out that and I mentioned, ‘Okay, I will be that.’”
Costner defined the motivation behind Jonathan’s fateful choice.

“The dialog is strictly what he says to Lois…I let my father die to guard the concept that my father was attempting to guard,” Snyder mentioned. “The concept I wasn’t able to be outed to the world as a result of I wasn’t Superman. I’m simply an adolescent that might’ve made a multitude of it. I’ve the ability to do it, however have I ever used my powers on this manner?”
“I trusted that his imaginative and prescient for what I could possibly be was greater than him,” Snyder added. “This little incident in Kansas was not the factor that was going to show me to the world.”
