What did you think of the portrayal of Superman? Did he seem like the Superman you've known all your life?
This is a great example because we all know Superman and we all know Jerry. We've seen Superman all our lives, and the Superman we know and love would not pause from chasing a criminal to read a play bill. They have messed up the character!
But look at it again, factoring Jerry into the equation. We are accostomed to seeing Superman from a camera's POV, in the traditional movie sense: omniscient but somewhat limited. These little moves were not made that way. Thet were made in a prosey style. They show us Superman from Jerry's POV.
If you think of this as prose fiction, these movies don't show what actually happened. This is what seemed to happen from Jerry's POV. We can be pretty confident of this because we've seen enough Seinfeld to understand how Jerry's mind works. He's a fault-finding, self-absorbed neurotic. I believe this is exactly what Superman would look like through his eyes.
I try to do the same thing in my writing. The events I describe are always colored by the POV character's personality. It's a critical story telling technique. I believe it's especially difficult for new f/sf writers because so many of us are fans of movie and TV presentations of our genre(s).
I believe it also helps to handle info-dump through the POV of a character with a strong personality. For example, in the second of those Superman/Jerry movies (Hindsight) the rules of their road trip are an important part of the story. The rules themselves are mundane, but Jerry reveals them through his POV. "No flying!" he rants at one point. Jerry's outrage and whiney voice make it so entertaining that we don't even notice that this is a chunk of info-dump.
You see the same thing in any well-written fantasy or sci-fi. For example, consider the beginning of Ender's Game, where the reader needs to understand the reproductive laws. OSC could have given us a boring omniscient info-dump, but instead he engrosses us by presenting the laws through the POV of Ender Wiggin. Because of the reproductive laws Ender is a "third," an scorned minority. Seeing the laws through his POV gives us important information and engages us at the same time.
