1. George Reeves set the tone...even though his costume was

funny. :hi:

[leftofthedial]

2. I still see George Reeves

I guess we're dating ourselves . . .

:hi:

3. did you just watch the History channel's thing on the history of superman?

cause i did... and i was wondering this same thing...

[leftofthedial]

4. I had it on while I was making lasagne

why I'm cooking in the wee hours is a long story

I think they've all been terrific as Superman, but George Reeves, although seemingly less equipped physically to play the role, seemed to nail the comic book character.

12. I saw two specials....

one was 'Look,up in the sky' The other was cool, it was 'The science of Superman'

If you missed either one, I recommend them

[leftofthedial]

19. thanks!

I'll make sure not to miss them

5. Chris Reeve for me

I believe, he will always be "my" superman. I didn't grow up with the George Reeves superman, so of course I'm a bit biased, towards my CR...:)

6. Rick James n/t

8. Or George Clinton.

10. Comic books. Duh. The movies are pale imitations. -NT

[Cannikin]

13. I lived in a small town. The grocery store wouldnt keep them...

in stock on a regular basis, so you could never follow a story line...so no comics for me.

I read the Batman graphic novels now. Are there some good Superman graphic novels?

[Benfea]

18. Not as good as what you already read.

If I can recommend something else, I personally enjoyed Frank Miller's "Ronin," and J. M. DeMatteis' "Moonshadow."

But really, once you've read Miller's "Dark Knight Returns," there isn't much else worth recommending.

11. I'm for George Reeves

The Superman of my childhood television. They've recently issued that old series on DVD. I think I'll keep the memories, rather than risk spoiling it through adult eyes.

14. the best supermans are the cartoons

the new ones...superman tas and justice league...as for the live action...i guess george reeve from my childhood will always be superman in my mind...his version of clark kent was perfect spot on...as was his superman...these days both clark and supes are portrayed as too "childlike" for me...it'a superMAN...not superboy...

15. None of the above!

To be honest I don't think of any actor really - in my head Superman is the character I grew up reading on the printed page. I guess I would say that Christopher Reeve came the closest to living up to my idea of Superman but when I think of the character he isn't the first thing that pops into my head!

[cleofus1]

16. welcome to DU!

altho i think your wrong about christopher reeve...too innocent and naive to be superman...

[Deja Q]

17. Mr. Reeve for me. Also, what about Superboy (1989) and the positively

rubbish Dean Cain in "Lois and Farce Clark - The New Adventures of Superman" (1995)?

21. DS1.

Except for the 'faster than a speeding bullet' part. 'Cuz that's just wrong.
