In Reply to: Apologies in advance for differing with you on this, but the entire Superman series... posted by Audiophilander on May 30, 2002 at 15:18:49:

Christopher REEVES is Christopher REEVE; George REEVES was the second
non-animated
TV/Movie Superman(in the 1950s); Kirk Alyn was the 1st(late 1940s).
Ironically, each met a tragic fate that mocked his TV/Movie persona's
invincibility: Alyn stricken by Alzheimers at a relatively early
age; Reeves either committed suicide or was murdered and Reeve was
paralyzed from the neck down in a horse-riding accident. Makes
one wonder if Dean Cain has to be a little nervous at times! - AH
P.S. - If memory serves correct, George Reeves first movie as the
Man of Steel was "Superman and the Mole Men" released in 1950. Saw
that one many years ago, so don't recall much detail.

LOL! Well, as you can see below, I concur! - Audiophilander 10:11:07 05/31/02 (3)
"Brilliant" minds think alike, huh! ;^)
I think I may have beat you by a couple of hours with the background of George Reeves and Kirk Alyn, but you've provided even more information for film buffs. Now, do you know the "voice" of the first Superman (radio, and if I'm not mistaken, the early 40's Fleisher cartoons)?

    - A Few Years Ago, I Consulted A Superman Site.... - AudioHead 13:35:51 06/03/02 (0)
      creator,and questioned him about a particular 1950s episode,(forget
      the title just now, but have it written somewhere)where The Man
      of Steel performed a marvelous feat of telepathic(?) hypnotic levitation
      (subject was Lois Lane) to get out of a tight spot. This feat
      appeared unprecedented to AH, but the site creator said that Superman
      was imbued with various powers over the years with whatever suited
      the writers at the time. AH knows that Superman�s primary weakness
      was kryptonite, and that although seemingly of ordinary intelligence
      by Earthian standards, he had a superduperdeveloped, one might say,
      heroic, moral sense -
      lucky for good Earthians, but not the bad ones, woe be unto them!
