I was born in 1960 and grew up on the original George Reeves Superman......as hokey as it may seem now, as far as I’m concerned, Superman has gone down hill since.
One exception?
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman with Dean Cain playing as Superman.
Loved George Reeves as Superman. As kids we would laugh when Superman would stand defiantly while being shot at then duck when the bad guy threw his revolver at him :^)
Superman George Reeves played one of Scarlett’s beaus in the movie Gone With The Wind.
George Reeves/Christopher Reeve Superman portrayed the comic book hero.
Comic book Superman/Spiderman/Thor/Avengers...Archie, whoever, they all did fantastic stuff, crazy stuff, fun stuff to appeal to young teen boys. I know, I used to be one.
So, I’m fine with the movies being true to the comic. Later versions of Spiderman movies are crazy & unwatchable, geared, imo, toward Chinese teens & younger.
