    So, okay, I noticed all the Superman polls you, @skytardis have been doing, and, well ...

    They are literally all you do around here. You also don't participate (at least in discussion, don't know whether you vote in these polls), you just start them.

    Which isn't against the rules, mind you, nor is it wrong. But I do find it a bit weird. For all your interest in what other people think about Superman and all the actors who portrayed him, maybe you'd like to share your own opinions?

    There is no "best Superman". Only a favorite one for each individual.

    Well for me the best one is Chris reeve his voice his acting ability how he slouched as Clark Kent and stood straight as superman he was clumsy as Clark it was brilliant disguise d actually closer to the original concept of Clark George Reeves didn't really differentiate the too I'm surprised Lois didn't figure out he was superman so for me he is in lower end Dean Cain good Clark ok superman Brandon Routh was basically playing Chris reeve Clark and superman he was decent though he is probably my second favorite Tyler Hoechlin is growing on me I like his Clark and superman I wish Henry's Clark and superman were more like him.

    Christopher Reeve,

    No-one else comes close.

    I don't have a favorite actor who has portrayed Superman.

    I don't really care for Superman so take my opinion as you want, I went with Tyler just because the actor seemed to have fun playing the character and was kinda charming, Routh as a second.

    I really liked Routh in his one outing. Cavill was quite good in MoS, not so much in BvS I'm afraid. It's been ages since I've seen Reeve as Supes, should really rewatch those. I do remember loving his outings as Superman as a kid.

    Reeve & Cavill far and above the rest. Damn near perfect live action versions of the character. Probably closer to the source than any other actor cast in a superhero role in film & TV history.

    Honorable mention to Alyn and perhaps Routh.

    The rest were horribly miscast (Hoechlin), or just wrong for the part.
