Hes, possibly the greatest superhero of them all, but who has the acting chops to bring Supermans legacy to justice?

Christopher Reeve, but in a different timeline where Cavill got to be Superman in an actual Superman story it probably would have ended up being him.

Always going to be Reeve for me, but I cant help but give an honorable mention to Hoechlin. I was very caught off guard by him.

Reeve

But I'll throw Brandon Routh some credit in the poll. I think he's had the most missed potential.

It's pretty telling how we've had two motion picture Supermen who have been directly modeled after the Reeve Donner films.

I have only seen Cavill and Corenswet. While I enjoyed Cavill when he got to have fun with the role (which given that it was Snyder was basically never), he didn't hold a candle to Corenswet.

Also, it's just a voice but George Newbern's Superman is iconic too.

Reeve. Corenswet has a lot of potential. We just need to see him as Supes in more films. I definitely want to see him in a proper Justice League movie.

Cavill got robbed. He could have been a great Superman if Snyder actually understood the character.

Corenswet is great, he's modern day Brendan Fraser. Even sounds like him. He's probably my favorite.

I actually think most of the list has been pretty solid, even Dean Cain. Too bad he's a douche IRL.

Dean Cain is the best Clark by a country mile, but his Superman is easily the biggest goober.

I'm admittedly probably super biased but it was always be Christopher Reeve to me. He just straight up encapsulates my idea of Superman. I'm not a comic expert by any means but from what I have seen Reeve really did seem to make that come to life. But I haven't read a single one so I can only comment on the visuals.

Still the only two Superman movies I truly enjoy come from him. Not to derail the topic but I had mentioned my hesitation about the new movie as I seem to have "opposite" experiences often when it comes to games and movies. Many times when people overwhelmingly like or dislike something I seem to have the opposite experience. I saw that new movie getting so much universal praise I was thinking "uh oh here we go"

So yeah I didn't want to make a topic just to trash on something because that is just not my thing but man I thought that was a really poor movie. Out of the modern flicks I enjoy Man of Steel in 2013 more than this 2025 movie. I thought this 2025 was just flat out bad across the board and wanted that movie to be over by the halfway point and with 20 minutes left I damn near just stopped watching. My only positive I can say is I thought the Lex Luthor portrayal was good in that you could feel how much be flat out was obsessed with destroying Superman

I've only seen Cavill and Corenswet. Definitely Henry of the two, but David was also good.

Bud Collier tbh

He had distinct voices for Superman and Clark Kent, and both were perfect.

I dunno man, did Snyder tell him to look constipated and goobery? Because that's exactly how he looks every time he's supposed to be determined.

It's not just awkward stills. You can watch him in motion and he definitely looks constipated and goobery.

Cavils a great actor, and probably could've done Superman justice if it weren't for Snyder's shitty script.
