  1. The Goonies (1985)
    "Donner included subtle nods to his earlier work, "Superman," within "The Goonies," such as the inclusion of the "Superman" theme music during a scene where Sloth rips open his shirt to reveal a Superman logo." The Goonies | A Nostalgic Throwback to Youth Hypercritic
  2. Batman Begins (2005)
    "Richard Donner's portrayal of Superman's origin story served as a template for Nolan's approach to Batman's beginnings. Nolan noted that *Superman* presented "the world... we live in but there's this extraordinary figure there," which he aimed to replicate with Batman."
