I love George Reeves version of Superman his Clark Kent is hands down my Favorite but when I think of thee Best Version of Superman it's Chris Reeves he was great in Superman one and two but I really didn't like his portrayal in the third and fourth movies.
As for the others I really like Kirk Alyn alot I got to see his Superman when I was a Kid a friend of the family came over to my house and played a 16mm version of Superman vs Atom man I thought it was great and thought he was in Better shape than George Reeves was.
Routh the Jury is still out until he really does a better movie but I kinda like what I already see.
I can't stand Dean Cains version that shows copies should be burned.....
Bradon Routh is Superman. I loved the new Superman. I didn't think Dean Cain was all that bad although I am going on memory and have not seen the show since it aired. I didn't see them all either only a couple episodes.
Chris was good and George I really couldn't watch them but understand he was coming from a different time and they did what they could with it for the time.
It will ALWAYS be George for me. When I was a kid they reran the show every Sunday morning and that imprinted image on my memory ... I did like Chris too. I like the idea of George being silver age and Chris being bronze age, makes sense to me!!!
The difference is that the 50s show had a good superman but probably could have had someone else in the role and worked because the show was good.
When I watch teh 70's movies now I realize that without reeves these would have been flops and we most assuredly would not hae seen IV (of course that wouldn't be so bad). Really, what redeeming qualities did 3 have other than his duality. Well maybe anette was a bonus.
So I vote Reeve over Reeves.
Cain and Routh were fine but not in the same league.
george for me chris second not really close race imo new sup sucked a cardboard cutout would have given more life to the role as far as ck george was the best by far i liked dean cains as well and smallville boy does a good job hatted chris's ck and the new ones but a little to much wimp into the role
Like Hackman's Luthor, Chris was my first exposure to Superman. But I did buy George's Superman season 1 recently after having seen several episodes over the past few years and really like the series.
