Maybe that’s why it kind of bothers me that Reeve’s likeness is being used here. It almost feels trivial or like he’s being taken advantage – now that he’s been dead for few years - to sell copies. Although you don’t have to be an intimate friend of Geoff Johns to believe that’s not even REMOTELY the intent of the creating staff. I dig that it’s a tribute - I do - to a beloved version of Superman that even 30 years later is very hard to beat. While George Reeves was my first exposure to a live action Superman, he was long dead when I first saw him on TV. When Christopher Reeve’s tragedy occurred and he chose to stay alive and fight to see a cure to his paralysis, he took a road that I’m not afraid to admit I wouldn’t have. And I guess, at the end of the day, besides the acting role, he was and always will be MY Superman.
