When I first met my future wife, I was a big nerd, and I very much looked like a 'Clark Kent'. In fact I got called that now and then.
One of the first things she said to me was, 'You know who you look like?' I braced myself emotionaly for 'Clark Kent', but she said 'Christopher Reeve'. I knew right then she was a keeper.
I loved how he played Superman in those movies, even if the last two had really lame scripts. Superman was always my #1 favourite Superhero, not for his powers, but for sticking to a high moral code even though nobody could go after him if he didn't.
I'm not fan of his politics of course, but he did something good in the world and it should not go unnoticed.
