Christopher Reeve is to date the best Superman. He had something special that so far has not been replicated. He was a perfect blend of humbleness with nerves of steel.
Just rewatched Christopher Reeve's Superman. I had forgotten how well he played the nerdy, clumsy, and sweet Clark Kent. Absolutely phenomenal actor. Best Clark Kent ever! Great Superman!
I've always preferred GEORGE REEVES' manly, no nonsense Superman and less wimpy Clark Kent!
I definitely agree…one of my favorite actors….👍❤️
No iIwould say Dean Cain is the best one, Lois and Clarke The New Adventures of Superman was a revolutinary Superman series that shined in the 1990s that focused on Clarke Kent and make Superman down to Earth and relatable
Definitely a memory .........if there is the best that makes a Super Man, Christopher Reeve was SUPER.
1:01 Rest In Peace Stan Lee, Missing you almost everyday
Dude is rolling over in his grave over what Marvel is doing now
Yeah, he'd be nothing without Superman. He said it best. he will be missed.
@@willmac623 ??
Glad they included him in this, shows that Marvel and DC may have been rivals but they weren't enemies.
yeah but for me dc is the best
That John Williams score will send shivers down spines until the end of time itself. Simply spectacular.
He is superb!
Exactly!!! I couldn't have said it better!!!!
Facts
I do like it but how come no LGBTQ representation. DC should be better than this. I will protest on Twitter.
@@trhansen3244 Then go make up your own superhero.
God Bless Christopher Reeve...!! The Best SuperMan...!! May He R.I.P...+
without question . . .
he made everyone believe
he was the best
God bless him and his family for hi# career achievements and dedication of himself as a father a friend and a superhero in it's humbling social satire of humanity
John William's Superman theme is amazing
I'm 77 now and have loved Super Man for over 70 years... but when I saw Brandon Rough portray Super Man I finally realized Super Man will live forever. Brandon Rough carried both the innocence and beauty in us all and that... can never be lost. I cried through the whole movie. Long live Super Man!
His name is Brandon Routh.
@@JD37 Is his last name pronounced like Ruth? Thanks.
@@charlesdavis7087
Like south with an R. No problem!
He sucked. No one but Reeve
@@p_nk7279hristopher Reeve is my Superman as well. I saw Superman II on the big screen back in the day. However, I found Routh to be a good Superman, however I felt Superman Returns could have been much better. They should have down an origin story with Routh.
Christopher Reeve , will always be remember as Superman...Reeve is an Icon and a History...
George Reeve's
I came here to read these comment. I agree.

There is no emoticon to describe the way i am feeling after reading all your emoji's.
About to implode
Must watch Emoji movie again, Must learn to be a MEH Again :P
@@Whats.Next.Videos
I can respect that comment but i'd be lying if i said to you that i didn't really feel sorry for you for not knowing Christopher Reeve
it really is such a shame that you only have Henry to go off
For me, Christopher Reeve will always be the pioneer of how Superman should be. If he was alive and well today, he'd look awesome in the new suit, and it would have been wonderful if he was starred as Jor El in Man Of Steel. Either way, Christopher and Henry are the best Supermen for their generation and it's such a phenomenon to see how a fictional character inspires so much in reality. Rest in peace, Christopher.
Christopher Reeve brought absolute believability and sincerity to the role
Brandon Routh is a few inches taller than Henry Cavill. I like them both and Tyler Hoechlin as SM, but Cavill didn't get great material to work with.
I recently just realized how much i love this character. Still an OG batman fan but superman really strikes a cord with me.
ofcourse he's the OG
even the comics make sure
superman is better than batman
if i think of superhero
superman pop up first
Yeah I love how he is the paragon of hope
Me too. Batman will always the best DC character, but Superman is something more than that. Maybe it's because of the times we live in, but I also have taken quite a shine to Superman lately.
It’s great liking both. They are brothers from another Martha
Movie Time nobody cares
This should be required viewing before some is allowed to make a Superman movie, tv show, or comic book
Doesn't look like Zack Snyder watched this
Max Alain's Meme Stash he clearly did considering how great Man of Steel is
Especially Zack Snyder
allowed
@@lottji fixed it. Thank you
You know it still hurts years later seeing Christopher Reeve in Smallville. That scene still makes me want to cry.
Reeve. Christopher Reeve. There’s no S.
@@richardvinsen2385 I always misspell his name. Thank you.
@@thirdcoastfirebird Probably understandable. George REEVES played superman in the 1950's TV show.
@@andrewmurray1550 This is true.
@@thirdcoastfirebird Maybe you are thinking of Steve Reeves?
The Hercules of the 50’s
I feel deeply for George Reeves. He may have been unhappy in his role, but he touched many, many minds and hearts. That makes him a hero to me.
I love superman, he's been with me since I was little, its hard to images my life without him,
Superman is forevermore forever ♾ he’s been myself heroic iconic hero we love unconditionally forever ditto and kudos to you thanks Supergirl herself always will never nevertheless lose and Superman himself will never nevertheless lose sadly he lost his life in 1993-1994 and resurrection was triumphant iffy if possible you watched Supergirl the tv is the best legendary legacy of Superman and Supergirl we love unconditionally thanks we also love smallville season 01-10 (2001,2002-2010,2011) ended with a exciting surprise explosion 💥 we love him and her because of heroism thanks peace and blessings to you unconditionally thanks peace.
Very first scene I saw in Superman the movie was the alley scene where Clark catches the bullet
Pretty much the only Character I actually have in my heart is him apart from Sailor Venus.
Same here! I always saw Superman as the number one superhero in DC and still do today.
Same! When I was 4 (I think, well at least around that time), I tried crossing the street with my arms out as if I were flying like him and singing his iconic tune! Then I got ran over by a motorcycle and was sent to the hospital.
Superman is more than just a comic book character. His creation, the timing, his ever changing mythos. The world we know will not be the same if not for Superman
Still, It's a White Boy Superhero That Never Really Existed And The Never Will !!!!!!!!!!!
Every Character wouldn´t exist without him.
and Goku
That's right! Superman has always been an ultimate symbol of heroism and a main inspiration to others.
@@thomasharrison6701 you can be Superman by following his example to see the good in others when others don’t have any hope. That’s the whole point of Superman
I recently started watching Smallville with my mother, and we're both big fans of Superman. He's one of my favorite superheroes. He's got the same thing in common with my other idols, Captain America from Marvel and Optimus Prime from Transformers. They're all so heroic, and what I strive to be like. They represent selflessness, and hope, and positivity, etc. I wish I was Superman, not for the powers, but to be as great a person as he is.
You don’t need to have powers to act like Superman. You already have the capacity for good, Optimus.
I can't even put into words how much I love and admire everything about superman
What about homelander hahahaha
Anyone else just in love with Annette O’Tools enthusiasm??? It’s so magnetic!
This documentary really touched me, specially since it was directed by Bryan Singer and narrated by Kevin Spacey.
Haha I see what you did there
Well played 😂
That was good !
It's not a bad documentary by no means, but Singer and Spacey should seek help
Spacey and Singer are the butt of all jokes ...
Superman has always been my favorite super hero!... My first contact with Superman was the movies in which Christopher Reeves played Superman... I was hooked!... Decades later, Superman is still as amazing as ever!... He has integrity, he's honest, loyal, faithful, he has good values and principles, he's a real gentleman, he truly has a good heart, he has a lot of inner strength and, if there's bumps on the road, he picks himself up, dust himself off, and keeps on going...
In other words, he's the absolute perfect man and I'm the first in line to marry him! 👍😆😆😆😂😂😂
I also have to say that I really LOVE Superman's theme song... Kudos to the compositor... and to those who kept that song alive throughout the decades!... It's really beautiful!!! 👍💜💜💜
*Reeve
This is the sad thing about today unlike the days of George Reeves. Nothing is special anymore. The kids of today don’t even have a Saturday morning like we had. We truly were the lucky ones.
You are very insightful, Saturday mornings were something to look forward too as a child.
All there is on Saturday mornings now are crappy E/I programming and "news". Why does education have too be a 24 hour 7 day a week thing now?
@@kevinnelson66 because parents demanded it.
This is such Bs. I was born in 2005. My generation and all the ones between you and me had the same experiences. The only reason you don’t think that is because you’re not a kid anymore so you don’t feel the same way about more modern Superman stuff. But believe me growing up with things like Superman the animated series, justice league/unlimited, Smallville, and the arrowverse were just amazing and special.
Lol a video with Bryan Singer and Kevin Spacey? Two spaces filled out on my yikes bingo!
The 1940's Paramount Superman cartoons were the first to show Superman flying. Before that he leaped from building to building.
@@johnbockelie3899 Yeah hence the leaping a building speech because before the cartoons he didn't have full flight. All his powers exist because of our sun.
If that were blocked out he would be less powerful?
@@davidaston5773 probably. Superman's body works like a solar power cell.So if the sun light was some how blocked , he would start losing his power.
@@johnbockelie3899 Do you know what the different coloured Kryptonites do?
I'm sure there's other ones apart from green? Ironic, the ONLY thing that could weaken and KILL Superman is a piece... of home?
Great actor and director.. Cancel culture is toxic BS in society today.. Nobody goes to Jail, charges dropped etc.. "But hey cancel them anyway"
I own this documentary on DVD... bought it back when Superman Returns was coming out. Love it
i have this DVD to, it came with the Superman Ultimate collection DVD set which included all of the Superman DVD's at the time which was Superman the movie through Superman Returns.
They need to update this with Cavill's Superman
@@seankidwell8208 I have the 5 DVD set ( including the the Donnor cut) and the original S2 Lester cut.
@@sandrasanders706 cool, the one I have is the 14 disc set, disc 1-4 is Superman the movie and bonus features ( first disc is the original movie, second is the special edition of the movie), disc 5-7 is Superman 2 including the Richard Donner Cut, Disc 8 is Superman 3, disc 9 is Superman 4, disc 10& 11 is Superman Returns and bonus features, disc 12 is this documentary, disc 13 is called You Will believe, disc 14 is Bryan Singers Video Journals.
@@seankidwell8208 They also released the exact same contents in HD, on Blu-ray several years ago. I own both the DVD and Blu-ray versions of the set. The Blu-ray I found by chance for $4AU at a Charity Shop here in Australia!
I was always a Marvel kid in my comic days and I love their films today, but the 1978 Superman has such a mythical feel to it that is missing in movies of all types today.
MCU is trash kiddo. Thank Disney.
The most amazing superhero of all time, The Man Of Steel, Superman
Really? Here's a description of another super hero from 1933 (5 years before Superman) in the very first novel from 1933....
His real name was Clark
He was called a superman
He was also called The Man of Bronze
He had a hideout in the Arctic Circle
He named his hideout "The Fortress of Solitude"
Sound familiar???
@@bjbell52 - Just as surely s bronze predated steel, Doc Savage did predate Superman. But since they are both fictional characters it doesn't really matter, unless you also believe in Marty McFly.
@@bobsradio6025 It probably would have mattered to Lester Dent or Street and Smith for stealing intellectual property. At least the writers of Superman comics waited until S&S stopped publishing the pulp magazine.
Superman is now 82 years old. What a legend.
You're not going to find a better history of Superman anywhere else! This is excellent!
I totally agree with you I thoroughly enjoyed this!
SuperMan is my favorite dc character of all time.
Mine too! Fans of today just don't get how big Superman has always been since the old days here.
Childhood memories of having this in dvd which everyone actually remembers this documentary for
Brandon Routh deserves another Superman movie
I!Agree With You About This One!Sebastián!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨!I've Seen The!Movie At!The!Local!Movie Theater 🎥 😄 😀 ✨ 😍 ♥!IN!West BURLINGTON,Iowa (USA)MY!Home town!
Bryan Singer does not.
Agree. Brandon was wonderful. A bit too skinny and the costume looked made for Halloween, but the actor was great.
Oh, cmon, I love Routh, watch him on legends of tomorrow! But as much as I do, he now looks, unfortunately and not PC, tooo Jewish!
I'm a massive Superman fan to begin with. This documentary is an incredible treatment and evolution of a nearly 90-year old IP.
I love to see the history of the character through generations, how Sup has evolved, the various treatment of the IP, and the tide of fandom.
Superman is a hero for all humankind, the greatest hero we have and ever will have. Superman embodies the greatest qualities that we as a people could ever hope for. He's an inspiration for everyone, he represents goodness and virtue to do the right thing, and those are qualities which humanity needs more than ever throughout our own history.
Yet, Superman is also a mirror for our own lives, being an alien, an immigrant, he always seeks a normalized human life, and through his own personal struggles with humanity and wanting to be human, it makes him sympathetic and relatable to everyone.
This documentary captures and shows all of this. (and much more)
Superman is universal whether they have him portrayed by a European actor or an African or Latino if they're honoring the memory of Superman God bless them.
Nothing will ever top John Williams musical scores. Michael Giacchino, Danny Elfman, and Brian Tyler all come close, but it can't top him.
Superman is my favorite DC superhero of all time, IDC if he's overpowered or not, I like his character
Same here! Fans of today just don't see how big he's always been since the old days and he's the one who came first before Batman and the others.
What makes Superman a hero is not his powers, but his heart
Superman is the Heart of Gold 💛
I have always had this reoccurring dream of someone doing a Golden Age Superman movie though, taking him back to where she still flies but epic to see him struggle with trains, buses, etc… it would look amazing taking Superman back to 1940’s or even just same struggling, decrease his power, so he does struggle and not invincible, it’s my dream,
Mine too, however, for a female character, I will always be for Wonder Woman ;)
1:14:48 "Nobody calls me a simp"
Those animated shorts still hold up unbelievably well today. They were some of my first exposure to Superman
Transformers the movie 1986 Paramount and Hasbro
Still love Superman and as a Superman fan I would still love to see more of Henry Cavill's version of Superman
cavil is a horribly written superman he has no character ,no personalities at all .no character development . likability and relatability factor is down right 0 .just a bland boring prop with the look
superman is no 1
Christopher Reeves is to this day is still the greatest tl Superman. I wish we could have see him in the Snyder- Verse.
@@johncap6495 Gonna be pedantic: *Reeve, no "s".
Also I agree. Brandon Routh was a good stand-in for Reeve and it would've been cool to see Routh (As Reeve) meet Cavill as a sort of "Pre-Crisis Superman meets Post-Crisis Superman" moment.
@@herloss448Henry Cavill Superman has tons of character, personality, character development, and likeability. You can't see that because Zack Snyder's movies are bit too intelligent for someone like you who's been fed MCU junk food.
Not impressed.
“Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!
Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s SUPERMAN!
Yes, it’s SUPERMAN: strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to Earth with amazing mental/physical powers and abilities, far beyond those of mortal men. SUPERMAN, who can leap tall buildings in a single bound, race a speeding bullet, bend steel with his bare hands. SUPERMAN, defender of law and order, champion of equal rights, and a valiant, courageous fighter against the forces of hate and prejudice, and who disguised as ‘Clark Kent,’ mild-mannered reporter for a great, metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way!”
Every time I would see they opening up that classic show I would recite every word along with the announcer...LOL
Thank you, that’s the original first George rReeves epidode, then they changed it, so thank you so much for posting it
Gosh I love this character. He is my favorite superhero and doggone it he's the best
Christopher(My Superman) along with Margot (My Lois) got me though the Awkward 11-13 yr old stage....My HEROES both to this day and forever!
Christopher Reeve is an amazing role model! My favorite Superman. His son grew up to be a wonderful man! His mother and father would be so proud!
Great to see love for the most recognisable Superhero of all time
I agree, they've been WAY too focused on Batman lately!
I watched this when it was up on the wb channel and I will watch it again cause superman is awesome
The Adventures of Superman should be on Max.
John Williams' score was as instrumental (pardon the pun) to the Superman mythos in pop culture as Christopher Reeve was...
Cavill’s Superman fits well with Affleck’s Batman.
Reeve’ Superman fits well with Keaton’s Batman.
Routh’s Superman fits well with Bale’s Batman.
Tyler superman fit with been beating by super girl.
Uh just imagine if Chris and Michael would have done BVS/The Dark Knight Returns on the big screen! Despite the technological limitations for special effects of the time it still probably would have been one of the highest grossing movies of all time!
@@adamw116 Keaton as The Dark Knight Returns version of Batman taking on Reeves as the Kingdom Come version of Superman would’ve been huge! Tim Burton directing would’ve been the icing on the cake.
I think that christopher reeve would go better with adam west batman, that would be the greatest crossover ever
@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 Adam West's Batman was to campy and was the least serious take on the character. Chris Reeves Superman was more of a serious take. As serious as could be for the time, to a certain extent. Even Reeves suit for the time had more of a believable and suprising practicality to it then West's cosplay looking outfit. It also helped though that Reeve's physique was a more muscular one then West's.
Ah I remember this 2006 documentary. I think months or a year later the Science of Superman Documentary came out as well.
Both are included in a box set I have, including all of the Superman movies up to Returns.
It's fun seeing a Pre-Arrowverse Brandon Routh
I love the science of Superman documentary, I think it’s in my blu ray box set
"Oh Superman, you're amazing"
"Yea I know"

That's right he was always the soul of humility.

I'm more of a Batman guy but Superman is the backbone of DC Comics.
Just comics in general🤷🏽♂️
Well, I mean Batman would technically be the backbone of Detective Comics and Superman would be Action Comics's, but I see your point and I agree.
Superman is the backbone but batman is the rest of the body
Batman was a vigilante, who used clever inventions and human strengths, (not fantastic super-powers), to defeat criminals, (until the comics and TV goofed him up).
I’m more of a superman guy. I grew up in superman and Batman came in in 1989. Batman will always be number 2 to me
George Reeves, Christopher Reeve & Margot Kidder: In Memoriam.
And director Richard donner
53:23 even in a cheap outfit and pit stains Christopher Reeves is still convincing and amazing as Superman.
*Reeve
there will NEVER be another great production of Superman or other DC heroes characters...as that depicted in SMALLVILLE. Smallville in my opinion, was a masterpiece. It portrayed a great series of stories of Superman, and his life. But , it ALSO FOR THE first time, in a TV series...has enough time to spend character development, on Lois Lane, on the enemies of Superman [many were introduced...including Silver Banshee ] and OTHER DC heroes were shown. Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary and even a kid Flash, briefly. And frankly, BEFORE SHE WENT PYSCHO, Allison Mack WAS GREAT on the Smallville show. You can see the series on Hulu.
Superman: the Animated Series is the best interpretation of the character. Along with the rest of the DCAU.
the animation of those early Max Fleischer cartoons is still INCREDIBLE to watch. Even Superman the Animated Series didnt have that technique of using rich watercolor for skies and shadows. The scenes of Superman using his-heat-vision are beautiful. Someone has to combine the smooth beauty of the Fleischer cartoons with the character development,action, and plot of Superman the Animated Series. Can u imagine if Max Fleischer had worked with Bruce Timm on Superman the Animated Series ? What would that look like?
As a powerful hero character, Superman has been inspired me very much since I was a kid.
When Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder appeared I was so full of emotion,I couldn’t stop crying,R.I.P Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder 😥😢😥
It breaks my heart to see what they have done to the character in recent years.
what have the done its how the world would actually reacts if an alien came from another planet
Your heart!!......Sups saved me from bad times,superman is ah better comic that needed to honorable not some run of the mill joke like batman!
@@angelofdarkness243I dont understand why you people hate Superman
you should watch Superman & Lois
I think Warner Bros Discovery is going to put things on a much better track
Superman make us believe to fly through his eyes
❤️ I'll never know how much I love this character, but everytime it feels like the first time I meet him. It still a wonderful childhood with him.
Apart from Batman, Superman will always will and always will be my favourite DC Superhero, since 1938 he entertained us in Comics, Serials, Cartoons, TV, Films and Pop Culture and if I say more, that's why he stands for Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Amen to all that! Superman will always be number one!
There will never be another perfect Superman. C.R. is the best of all time.
I agree it's a shame some of the movies look cringe. C. R. Does make up for the campy scenes like star trek original show. I wish c.r. made movies today with a young C.R.
God birthed him to play Superman, and God is always right.
@@Whats.Next.Videos I'm super old lol
I love how you put Brandon Routh in the titlecard. He was a great Superman. Carried that optimism that was lacking in the Snyder stuff.
Overbound. I could not believe the people complaining about Brandon Roush playing Superman..I thought he was the best Superman since Chris Reeve..I'd rather watch that than Cavill..so unrelatable to me. And yes Rousch was great!!!
@@sandrasanders706 Routh was awesome. He played the role VERY well, and was a fitting successor to Reeve. Cavill is great, too, but Snyder's writing for him is a little too... dark.
@@sandrasanders706 DEAN CAIN excellent dans Lois et Clark
That’s cuz this was around the time SuperMan returns was released
cavil is a horribly written superman he has no character ,no personalities at all .no character development . likability and relatability factor is down right 0 .just a bland boring prop with the look
It's about time. I love this documentary, seeing as he was my first superhero. I think it's safe to say that we need Superman now more than ever.
Do we, though? 🤔
Bak to G
For a kid born in the 40's Superman was more than a comic, he was my salvation from a harsh reality and to this day it is my religion..Truth , Justice and the American way!
I knew Kirk Alyn for many years. As an actor, his career was ruined since he was type-casted as Superman. Still, he was a wonderful person and looked so good in his old age that he would go to auditions and wouldn't have a chance since he looked younger than he was. I can still see his smile and hear his warm-hearted voice!
at 1:14:48, the character Tommy Puck says, "no one calls me a simp" LOL!
Although Batman is more popular, Superman is the prime example of what a superhero is.
He's the most recognisable
Nah batman is still a superhero to me
Batman is overrated af. They try to paint him as this super complex character, but he is rather shallow. Other superheroes have gone through worse, yet they write him as if his suffering is unbearable by anyone but him.
@@danielmpld3775 too true. Same with harley quinn....both characters are getting so much exposure and its h in nestly made me hate the characters....
Batman is cooler and more badass which appeals to a modern day audience more than a guy with great powers trying to do the right thing.
Fascinating documentary even though it hasn't aged well based off its narrator and executive producer and the fact that the last five minutes of it is basically a commercial for a movie that didn't really leave much impact in the Superman mythology.
It should get updated.
@@sha11235 agreed especially with some insight on the making of Man of Steel as well as the creation of the DC Extended Universe and comment on The New 52.
Seeing Stan Lee endorsing DC heroes when I always knew him as a Marvel guy was surreal but awesome. RIP Stan.
Loving that a version of Lex Luthor is narrating the story of Superman
Why doesn't DC release both the adventures of Superboy Pilot from the Smallville DVD, & the Superboy animated show for the CZcams channel?
How about a second season of Gods & Monsters Chronicles
To me, there would "ONLY" be Christopher Reeve as "SUPERMAN." I cried when he died and was an incredible human being and loving husband to his wife and children. RIP Christopher.
You know, I never thought about it as a kid watching the Reeve's films, but he played such a convincing Superman and Clark.
We really took him for granted as a surprise star... And didn't realize it until the star was dimmed.
And I'll be damned if my eyes didn't get wet when we caught up to his passing in the video...
Would love to see a "Reign of Superman" film...but that means we'd need a proper "Death of Superman" film first!
We already have them in animation.
We already have 3 versions of the death of Superman, and a follow up to one of them called reign of the supermen with superboy, cyborg Superman, eradicator, and that steel robot suit guy that put an S on his suit.
Rip Kirk alyn, George Reeves (murdered not suicidal act at 45 years old on Tuesday June 16th, 1959), Christopher Reeve (died at 52 from heart attack on Sunday October 10th, 2004), and Richard Pryor (died at 65 in 2005), and Lane Smith (died at 69 in 2005) Rest In Peace you all we always miss you unconditionally thanks for the memories of making us all believe in Superman thanks peace and blessings to you all and encouragement to live hopefully the pandemic epidemic will be over asap thanks peace blessings to you all.

I haven’t even seen all of this video, and I already see how his story would relate to our times. I’ve always thought he was relatable to anytime. I don’t see how WB can be so hesitant to make a Superman movie.
DEMAND IT 😠
They should make a movie about Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster
That’s what iv been saying to WB’s for bloody years, it would be huge, it would bring Superman right back to his golden age then announce new Superman movie with new actor, decrease his powers & have Mathew Vaughn & Marc Millar & Dave Gibbons do new Superman
Christopher reeves was a first face model for Superman, I'm glad they got Tom welling, Henry Cavill & Brandon Routh for a default face structure model for Superman.
I agree with that..and the ABC musical on the Man of Steel..nah!!
*Reeve
i would break a 100 PS5's to see more movies on this amazing character
When Stan Lee and mark hamil talk greatly about something, you know its awesome... btw I was a DC fan before I read marvel
For a moment I was pissed as I thought "where is Henry Cavill!" Just realized this is a 2006 documentary lol
I love superman as a child, later on I learned they had to write in his weaknesses because he seemed to perfect. Weaknesses and shortcomings make a fictional character more relatable to the public.
Gracias a sus debilidades pudimos deleitarnos con la BRUTAL Y FASCINANTE escena en la que el señor Luthor, con su impecable traje, su soberbia camisa azul de cuellos perfectamente almidonados y su preciosa corbata, lo levanta en vilo con una sola mano, lo aprieta con su fuerte brazo en el que luce un fantástico gemelo en el puño de su camisa y, sin parar de echarle su aliento a tabaco, lo destripa, lo TRITURA y lo TIRA A LA BASURA. Fue genial ver a ese guaperas trajeado machacar y TRITURAR VIVO al crío del pijama y reventarle un pulmón, mientras disfrutaba con lo que hacía, tratándolo como un despojo humano. Luego, el cobarde prefirió el suicidio antes de caer de nuevo en manos de su TORTURADOR. El resultado de esta lucha desigual entre un patético crío en pijama y todo un hombre con traje fue, lógicamente, de muerte para el más débil. La mayoría aplaudimos extasiados en el cine, aunque un poco decepcionados por que no lo hubiese DESPEDAZADO VIVO
They're gonna have to upgrade this with more Smallville, DC Movie Universe, Arrowverse(Brandon Routh's comeback in Crisis on Infinite Earths ), more cartoons and the cartoon movies. Plus the 1988 cartoon needs to be notice too.
OH MY GOD. MAN OF STEEL CHANGED MY LIFE SINCE 2016 AND NOW A VIDEO ABOUT SUPERMAN'S HISTORY. NICE. I THINK I WILL WAIT MY ENTIRE LIFE IF NEEDED FOR MOS 2
The greatest superhero of all time!
Facts!
Poor George Reeves , I thought he was such a handsome guy when he was superman in the T.V. series . His death was a shock to us all who are old enough to remember the series in the 50's . At the time it was said he killed himself because the character he portrayed on Television while supremely popular , was actual career suicide . He was so well known as Superman he could not get any other roles . However as the years rolled on it began emerging that the circumstances surrounding his death were highly suspicious . On the night he died there were others in the house and everyone was drinking . It began looking like he may well have been murdered . To this day his death remains an unsolved mystery. Either way , it was a terrible tragedy . Many of our friends and neighbors cried . Hec memories of so long ago . Anyway George Reeves was great as the T.V. Superman . R.I.P. Mr George Reeves .
Now I need a full documentary about Batman
I love this character ❤❤
Kevin Spacey?! Oh, right, this video is old
Yeah. Still a good documentary regardless of the scumbags involved
@@jaredgarcia8638 he was a villain when he played Luther. And he turned out to be the same in real life.
@@nosuchthing8 definitely
The original superhero and the best. I mean, the guy has laser eyes and can fly. Enough said.❤
RIP Christopher Reeve will always be superman we love you and miss you Christopher Reeve is number one superman
