I love that part. Always gives me a chuckle

The general stands his ground and looks Supes right in the eye.

Lois giving him his name has been tradition at least since the original TV series.

I really like Cavil as an actor but his Superman just isn't "Superman " , not his fault just the material he has been given isn't that great. He looks great in the suit and if given the chance I think Cavil would rock the Role.

@@Noone-vz6ye His Superman is just too serious and not enough fun for me.

Me too. 😍

I agree it’s also a tie between Erica Durance and Teri Hatcher. Though there’s others like the original movie Lois in Margot Kidder but, definitely I think the television series versions were better because more time was spent on their character development and you actually got to see the growth of their characters throughout the series of Smallville and Lois and Clark The New Adventures of Superman.

😆😂

😍from Lois and Clark

At least the third one didn’t say: “It’s a frog!”

It was the way that Superman and Lois met in the Man of Steel miniseries that John Byrne did in 1986, during the reboot of the DC universe. It doesn’t work quite as well as a return, but is still a great opener.

yep i regularly watch that scene here on YT. Very good way to show some action on a scene that Superman can help on.

routh was cool but i superman returns should've been a reboot ...i blame bryan singer and that bland movie he wanted to connect superman returns to the original 2 movies with Reeves which was a horrible idea

I loved him catching the Airliner in the movie........one of the best rescues in the movies. 👍

Sorry to correct you, but Christopher's last name was Reeve, not Reeves.

You actually see the end of his run in the Flash TV Series, Crisis on Infinite Earths. Mr. Routh reclaims the mantle of Superman briefly for that story and concludes it. Hint: it doesn't end well.

Bryan Singer and every Superman movie director since has gotten it wrong. Superman is not dark or angsty, mopey or angry, and he wouldn’t snap a criminal’s neck. He is about hope and optimism, truth and justice. Towards the end of Justice League, he started acting more like what he’s supposed to be.

I was a kid in the 80's and watched the reruns, it was amazing then to. Kids are easy to impress.

Honestly… I find it quite impressive seeing it for the first time TODAY! How they gave that illusion of flight is quite GENIUS. No need for wires or close ups… All you see is a seamless transition of a man taking flight.

Even though I could obviously spot the difference between the transition from animation to live action, I agree! In my opinion, That was such a creative way to make something so awesome visually, but make it easier of course for the production team to handle everything.

Yes, I was. I do remember the Superman serials in the movies on Saturdays. I never forgot Kirk Alyn as Superman. Unlike George Reeves, Kirk Alyn was a body builder. That was his real physique. George Reeves, the 1st TV Superman, had a padded suit. Brandon Routh was also a body builder.

@@Tenshii_Artii Animation was a lot cheaper than filming SFX flying scenes at the time.

The music. John Williams is the best.

That pimp and his hookers were impressed.

That’s iconic now

Yep....that's my favorite. 👍

Plus the phone booth fake out

Lois et Clark

Teri went to my high school, though she was a bit older than I am. My brother and sister knew her. Said she was, ah, not nearly as nice a person in real life as on screen. Hopefully she outgrew that phase, though.

@@MrBrachiatingApe Yeah, of course she did...

@@alpachino468 Your life must be empty of all status and achievement indeed if your instant reaction to me saying a minor celebrity went to my HS years before I did is: "He's lying to chase clout!" Makes me almost certain you yourself lie a shit-ton, always brag-assing obvious BS to big yourself up. In case you don't realize, the people around you (your "friends") know you're lying. Every time. They're just too embarrassed for you to say anything since that one time they tried to check your pathological dishonesty and you doubled-, tripled-, and quadrupled-down. They realized with pity and contempt that you weren't strong enough to take accountability for anything. Sad thing? They were trying to help you understand why people don't respect you. Make you a better person. Oh, last thing--you know celebrities are people, right? Who once were not famous and have hometowns and old friends and HS yearbook pictures, right? They're not grown in a lab under the Hollywood sign. Good luck with life, son. You're gonna need it

Same here

I couldn’t agree more, the emotion between them was palpable. We FELT the feelings they were supposed to have for each other. 😊

I was surprised to see that line in Lois and Clark. I thought it originated in Grant Morrison's All Star Superman. Now I'm wondering if it's even older than L&C, because I find it hard to believe such an iconic line would have originated in such an uniconic adaptation.

@@-leaford1584 its actually from Superman: For All Seasons

@@-leaford1584 Not so shure, you still might ge right dear Leaford because such phrases like BEAM ME UP SCOTTY or the German HARRY HOL SCHON MAL DEN WAGEN ( TATORT und DER ALTE ) are just some Comedian flicks not actually in the shows at all.

Guys, it was a phrase first coined in the comics. It’s been used ever since. I believe @-Leaford actually said the original comic series which makes him smarter than me. 👍🏼🤣

@@-leaford1584 It's been a part of the comics since at least the Silver Age (50's-70's). Sometimes she made it from normal Earth-made cloth, sometimes from blankets from his rocket, but it's always Martha who makes his first costume.

His Clark Kent was the worse. He played Clark like an idiot. Clark was a "mild-mannered reporter" not a bumbling, clumsy bumpkin. Remember, he was a genetically advanced being from another world. He wasn't really just a Kansas farm boy who had never been off the farm. At this time, the Superboy storyline still existed in the comics, so there had been the relationship with Lana, friendship with Pete, struggles of hiding who he was, and working the farm. He wasn't a dummy or social misfit. I think George Reeves set the standard for Clark, acting normal and a bit timid at times when needed, by always letting the audience know with a wink it was an act. He also was a take charge guy, telling Lois to do things frequently and clearly on equal footing with Inspector Henderson. With Christopher Reeve, it seem Clark really was a bumbling social misfit. Routh played Clark that way, but not nearly as bad. Cain played Clark well aware of everything who brought the act up when he needed around those that suspected him. I think he matched Reeves more. Cavill was a very different Superman and story. Hoechlin plays a much more mature version, as he is married and has kids. His Clark lead-in story also has Clark and Superman more mature and less excitable. Surprising since he is 35 and playing what should be an early 40s to mid 40s Clark Kent, which was the age of George Reeves when he was playing what should have been a 30 year old Clark. Chris Reeves can be forgiven some as he was only 26. Cain was 27 and had 11 credits under his belt.

@@tommissouri4871 Tom Welling and Erica Durance are the "TRUE" successors to Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder as Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Tom's portrayal of Clark during the earlier years in Smallville and heading to Metropolis show his as the Realistic person, when he dons the glasses, that's the Believable person, that what packed about Christopher Reeve's Clark, he was Believable, not Realistic. Henry Cavill's Clark was Realistic, but also had more room to improve. Tyler Hoechlin's Clark is more of a continuation of Tom Welling's Clark, that's how I see it.

I really don't get the hype. I don't see any chemistry at all. I could never shake the feeling that Margot's Lois was gay and would be better off with a woman 🤷🏼‍♀️

Who is Dana?

@@mokshnemmaniwar8580 Dana is Dana Reeve, Chris' wife, to whom he was married at the time of his death, and who stood by him through the nine years of his paralysis.They had a son, William, together. Tragically, Dana died of lung cancer only a few years after Chris, still in her 40s, even though she had never smoked nor lived with a smoker. Their son William is now in his late 20s, and by all accounts is a fine man.

Don't be sad for Chris and Dana. It's not what happens in life, but how we choose to deal with things that matters. Chris turned his accident into a positive by creating a foundation for stem cell research. He was as much a hero in life as on the big screen. Dana was a hero for standing by him til the end. Sometimes quality of character can trump quantity of life measured in years.

Don't make us emotional, it's like a "What Could've Been" situation. *Starts to cry.*

That’s not really “meeting” Superman.

@@TJUC123 There could technically be two meetings of Lois and Superman in Smallville. There’s the time she pulls the blue kryptonite knife out of him and then hides or when she sees him in his costume for the first time from Air Force One.

SMALLVILLE never was my thing. Shure the actors were looked all damn goo in it but it was SOAP OPERA in the rinest form not my thing.

@@rogerlynch5279 I can’t take your comment seriously when you talk like a 2 year old and spell like you’ve never seen the words before.

@@rogerlynch5279 you are tripping.. Smallville was amazing! Definitely my favorite

Loved THE ADVENTURES OF LOUIS&CLARK the series rebooted the classical comics from the late Sixties and Seventies as I had them.

She definitely did

Dean Cain is still my fav Superman.

World's Finest "Movie" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bp-pnMqm38mlipc.html with Chris Reeve & Michael Keaton

I always thought Dean Cain did a good job. Most forget it was a weekly series, so it didn't have feature movie big studio budget or time. Everything happened in a 45 minute window so it could air each week. And some of the hokeyness with simply '80s hokeyness that was in everything. Airwolf has the silly supersonic speed film motion. The earlier A-Team had the "shoot 10,000 rounds and no one gets hit" stories. And somewhere in this time, the comics changed the storyline again.

It's hard to take one winner as all of them come from a different era so what matters primarily is the context behind the meet. Although what I love about the 2021 show is that in the flashbacks they really pay homage to that old school superman era without making it feel out of place and that is indeed a big win.

@@JudgeFudge57 The story and the characters evolve.

Well the actors weren't cast for their looks, they had to audition and play out different scenes in both the superman and clark character.

Interesting.........Dean is my favorite Clark,..........Chris my favorite Superman..........Erica my favorite Lois😍.............whose you favorite Supergirl?

Yes as its the same Superman played by Christopher Reeve and it's supposed to follow on from Superman II.

You probably already figured - but it's just different iterations of the characters.

That's why Tyler Hoechlin is so great. In costume he's got the same nobility, presence, optimism, even innocence, in a way, that Reeve and Routh had. Close, though, as a father, he's a good mix, but is heir to the same frustrations, confusions, uncertainties, and so on every man and father must deal with.

@@MrBrachiatingApe Hoechlin is alright, but throughout Superman & Lois his suit muscle padding seems disproportionate, and he often seems to have a bewildered look on his face. His Clark and Superman don't really seem like different persons either...

Yes! I love seeing everybody cheer afterwards!

Brandon did a good job reprising that role........,but Chris is still the Superman I knew as a boy. 👍

@@commanderbracey7501 same

Tom, Dean, Brandon, and Chris.......,in that order.

...concur, but his defence of the 1/6 insurrectionists is vile~

Dean and Teri had great on screen chemistry.........a true love story..........I still watch re-runs just to see them kiss...Shhhh, don't tell anybody I'm a softy. 🤫🤭

That's a BAD OUT-FIT! ...WHOOOO!
