^vote for Margot Kidder. The BEST Lois Lane.

I never watched Smallville.

I actually agree with you in this general area. My issue, more specifically with Arrow, is that I have found the last season to be bad. I really liked seasons 1 and 2, especially whenever they flashed back to the island. I wish they would have done more of that this season.

Flash has been really tight, in my opinion, in terms of story and characters. Iris has been annoying, though, with her Lois Lane Syndrome, but I can ignore that with all the other good stuff going on.

The first part of the this was weak, but it got stronger as it went on. The music... was wrong and I liked the re-cut video that was done, just for that.

Couple of things that stood out most:
Michael Shannon (general Zod) apparently took voice-coaching lessons from Jeff Bridges
Superman was considerably less gay this time, and Lois Lane was soft and smooth and girly (plus Amy Adams has the natural reddish-brown hair of the comic book Lois Lane)

Otherwise the damn thing was preposterous....OH, and the CGI of the attack on the city?? Wholly unbelievable (i.e. the segment when Metropolis is under attack and all the central characters at ground zero miraculously survive).

If found Man of Steel to be a good action movie but a bad Superman movie. The Superman in it, just didn't present as heroic to me.

All the flashbacks and early years stuff was fantastic, though. I liked the Lois Lane character throughout, but her character really petered out at the end.

Lois Lane better be fugly like the original.

Okay,

Weaknesses
1). His love of humanity - Absolutely
2). Lois Lane (and Jonathan & Martha Kent)
3). Kryptonite - Proven Absolutely
4). Red Sun or Starless worlds would void his powers but first you have to make him go there.
5). Magic - Can slow him down, but can't kill him
6). Virus X - Kryptonian leprosy, the only form of disease for which Kryptonians had not found a cure (Turns out Blue Kryptonite is the cure)
7). Mind Control - He has no powers against mind control but he is a strong minded individual and has battled this and won before.
8 ). Extreme amounts of force/impact ("Darkseid and a few others have this power").
9). No air/Food/water - Superman could survive indefinitely without food, water, or rest due to the yellow sun's radiation sustaining him.

Shazam - Almost killed Superman with his lightning bolts which are magic
Lex Luthor used a magical artifact called the Powerstone to take his powers away.
Wonder Woman's magic sword can cut him.
Hulk kicked his ass once too but wasn't able to follow through.

Looks like his next major weakness after Kryptonite is Magic. Not all magic though. Only some magic granted by Gods, and then only some gods has the power to affect him. Magic has been able to lay him out but has never stopped him.

Check this forum where they clearly argue it out:

Don't forget magic.

Also, he's physically invincible, but his love for mankind and Lois Lane is also a weakness.

Superman should be the new CEO of liveSTRONG. Being cancer-proof and all.

(don't worry Lance, Sheryl Crow > Lois Lane)

After Christopher Reeve passed away, 'Aint It Cool News' posted a story (I don't know who the actual author is, sorry), and it really touched me, especially this part:

'At the age of seven years old, I wrote three heroes of mine for their autograph. The only one that responded was Christopher Reeve. 8 months after I mailed it, in an envelope one day came a small 3x5 photograph of Superman autographed “To Harry, Christopher Reeve”.

As an Eagle Scout that believes in Truth, Justice and the American Way… that believed when that man flew, that a man could fly… every issue of Action, Adventure, World’s Finest, Superboy, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Superman… in every word bubble that came out of a Curt Swan's Supes' head, I heard Christopher Reeve. I don’t believe any actor will ever completely own a role so perfectly as Chris owns SUPERMAN. '

God bless his soul! He was such a great man, inside and out!

Casting Jack Black in the Kong remake was almost as bad a decision as casting Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane in Superman Returns. Both films suffered because of it.

The other time Superman didn't hold back, Lois Lane's head was found in Lake Michigan...

What always bugged me about this scene is Superman's super passive-agression. As if Superman's gonna trip over a pink polar bear rug and drop his glasses in the fire. Obviously he meant to do that. Surprised he didn't pull the ol' "Super-dick in the popcorn" trick.

This was funny, BTW. Now that I've grown up I can see how haggard Margot Kidder was next to Christopher Reeve. I like the way she plays the character, but by the time this movie came around she was no longer as hot as Lois Lane needs to be.

Look, Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman is a documentary film from executive producers Bryan Singer and Kevin Burns which details the history of the Superman franchise, from comic book, to television, to the big screen. The story of Superman is told through archival footage, as well as interviews with many of the actors, directors, and producers involved with the Superman media over the years. The closing credits feature outtakes from the Christopher Reeve Superman films, including an outtake of Marlon Brando improvising during the recitation of a poem in a scene deleted from the original version of Superman II.

The documentary was released on DVD on June 20, 2006, shortly before the theatrical release of Superman Returns. A two DVD Best Buy exclusive Limited Edition version was released the same day (extra material on the second disc included Bryan Singer's video journals and 5 official Superman movie poster mini-prints). A shortened version of the documentary was played on A&E on June 12, 2006. Finally, it (along with Singer's video journals) was included as part of the 14-disc box set release, The Ultimate Superman Collection, in November, 2006.
