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.
