Winning a scientific argument with Sheldon Cooper is a tall task.

Before he, Leonard, Rodge and Howard start their Superman movie marathon, Sheldon highlights the scientific inaccuracy of the iconic franchise.

He you realize that scene was rife with scientific inaccuracy?

It doesn't stop him from loving it, though.

With math and logic, he explains that even assuming one could fly, Superman should not be able to swoop in and save Lois Lane the way he does.

Lois Lane is falling, accelerating at an initial rate of 32ft per second per second.

Superman swoops down to save her by reaching out to arms of steel.

Lane, who is now traveling at approximately 120 miles an hour, hits them and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces.

When Leonard and Howard offer some pushback, you know Sheldon's not.

Your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that Superman's flight is a feat of strength.

It is well established that Superman's flight is a feat of strength.

It is an extension of his ability to leap tall buildings, an ability he derives from exposure to Earth's yellow sun.

A combination of the moon, solar reflection, and the energy storage capacity of Kryptonian skin cells.

Penny hilariously gets caught up in it, and

the guys don't even realize she's left before their conversation has finished.

These fellas sure can get seriously deep into their superher.

For someone to have Superman as their password, it's clear they're a big fan of the man of Steel.

But to use Superman's birth name as their password, their fandom is even more pronounced.

That's the case with Leonard, whose Facebook password.

And according to Sheldon, his password for everything is Kal El.

Hacking when you use the same password for everything.

This revelation comes about in a funny scene when Sheldon hacks into Leonard's Facebook account to change his relationship status.

Man, we know you love Superman, but maybe it's time to change your password.

And no not to Clark Kent or Man of Steel, because Sheldon will be all over that if I am permitted to speak again.

After Sheldon tells Penny about his arch enemy, he gives us multip analogies in a way that only he would.

All three examples are superhero super villain pairings.

And then comes this realization that a lot of supervillains have advanced degrees.

After this astute observation, Sheldon makes the hilarious point that grad schools should be more careful with who they're letting in.

Graduate school should probably do a better job of screening those people out.

And it makes us wonder, what were these supervillains like when they were in school?

In this episode, Sheldon shows his wingman capability and ability to impress women with superhero memorabilia.

He and Raj go to a university mixer, with the latter focused on meeting women.

When I lie through my teeth to a woman, you nod and agree.

Sheldon's on board with the wingman assignment.

But we're left wondering how that will go.

When two women engage with the guys in a conversation, one of them notes the limited edition Green Lantern lantern that Sheldon is carrying.

Sheldon then quotes a classic Green Lantern line.

Is that the limited edition Green Lantern lantern?

In brightest day, in darkest night, no evil shall escape my sight.

Later, we see Raj and Sheldon at the apartment with those same two women.

Sheldon wearing giant Hulk hands, imitates Hulk while totally failing to pick up on the interested woman signal.

This simple quote is arguably Batman's most famous one too.

And that's partly why we have to include it on this list.

The other part of it is the amusing context in which it was used.

In the episode titled the Bad Fish Paradigm, we hear Sheldon suggest he could become Batman.
