Who was the best Superman?

 







  I'm not a huge Superman fan like I am Batman, but it is a good idea to figure out who played Superman the best. There were some good, and some.... I think could have been better if they weren't the caped crusader. 

    I'm not gonna remember all of them so, here are a few that are memorable and one that might have been the best Superman even if he is no longer with us. 









   George Reeves used to play Superman on TV for the "Adventures of Superman" All I remember about him is his death and the "Superman Curse." How did he die? Well, George was killed from gunshot wound to the head on his bed during a party his fiancé was throwing at the time.

   The strange thing was... did he kill himself, which people think he did, or was he murdered by someone from that party? No one knows. Ever since then, they called it the 'Superman Curse" It wouldn't just claim George's life.










  Henry Carvell was Superman in a few movies that failed at box offices. He portrayed Superman in Man of Steele which had Amy Adams played Lois Lane. I guess, in my opinion, whoever plays Lois Lane, they do fine. It's Clark Kent portrayals that make or break a move. HIs portrayal wasn't great.











  I know I'm doing a cheat adding a cartoon character (voiced by George Newbern) but he wasn't a bad Superman. The show was not bad, granted not as great as Batman the Animated series, but it had its fans. The voice acting was good, the stories were not bad. He even voiced Superman. in a few DC animated movies as well.

    Is he the best? Well, not a fan of Superman as I was Batman, but it's not a bad show to watch.















 Tom Wellings portrayed a young Clark Kent/Superman in Smallville which about a teenage Clark Kent discovering his Superpowers. Never saw one episode, but I've good things about it. The acting wasn't bad. He would end up portraying a villain in "Luther". Sadly, I lost touch with that show.

    There are Cameos from other Superman actors, that I will get to soon that are in it as well.














  No joke. Nicolas Cage is... Superman in the Flash movie this year. I don't know much about the character the Flash since I never was into it, but having Nicolas Cage portray Superman is just as amazing seeing Michael Keaton come back as Batman.

    Only for a few scenes sadly. Not knowing about Nicolas Cage's Superman, I don't have much to say. Maybe he's good at being the caped crusader, or... maybe he's better as Dracula.















    The late George Reeves was considered one of the most known Superman actors ever. Sadly, he too suffered from the "Superman Curse" Not just by being in the third and fourth failure of a Superman movie, but in 1995, he was in an accident that ended up causing him to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his existence.

    He didn't stop him from acting as he also guest rolled in Smallville as well as guest speeches in certain colleges. Sadly, he and his wife both died of cancer in the lung. His son is still alive and looks somewhat similar to Christopher Reeves in every way.



  To me, they are the most memorable Supermen that I remember. There are others that are more miss than hit. Like when Superman teams up with Ben Affleck as he was Batman. Even another Justice League movie where Henry Carvell makes a guest cameo as Superman. The Caped Crusader or Superman as he's called was played by many actors, but...I think Christopher Reeves was the most memorable
