Your Favorite Superman Pictures

......and Obama is a socialist (I did not say communist, though that is the next step) so it's not actually character assassination if the statement is merely one of truth.
If you think socialism is a wonderful thing then that's your prerogative, but Superman is not about taking from others and distributing to those he sees as more deserving or needy. He lets people choose to do what's right without grabbing them by the throat and telling them to do what he deems is right (he sets an example he hopes others will follow). If he wanted to he could kick in anyone's doors (including Lex Luthor's) and take what he wants to give it to whomever he wants, but he knows that is wrong and yes Un-American. Superman would agree that redistribution of wealth is socialism and not the American way (but it is Obama's way). I'm actually totally disgusted with both political parties, but this tendency to present Obama as some kind of Messiah is nauseating.

[theMan-Bat]

Obama isn't leading America into a communist regime. He isn't kicking in anyone's doors and taking away private property and freedom. That's communism, not socialism. Instead of wanting to take away people’s private property, socialists want more people to have more private property than ever before. Obama is a liberal socialist. Socialism is helping those less fortunate. Superman is a supporter of helping those less fortunate. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster as a "defender of the weak and oppressed." Superman tells people to do what he deems is right. Helping Americans is not anti-American. And this isn't a political discussion thread so let's get back to the Superman pictures.

I remember the first time I saw that entrance George Reeves made in I Love Lucy, and to this day I'm amazed at how he could do that with such fluid action that you can believe he just flew through the window. George's portrayal of Superman was so human, rugged and distinguished, and his interactions with children were so believable and natural, authoritative yet gentlemanly, and polite, his portrayal of Clark Kent is believably mild-mannered, not bumbling and inept, and he had some real bulk to him like the original comic book Superman (and Alex Ross' Kingdom Come) with a firm jaw and thick bull neck and the squinty eyes, that's how he got embedded in my brain as the only live-action Superman I can really acknowledge.

To this day the tragic way in which his life ended still breaks my heart. Even though he died before I was born, I grew up on his portrayal of Superman; I absolutely idolized him. It's strange how Noel Neil insists that he would never have killed himself, but Jack Larson believes he did......and they both shared such a deep affection for him.:csad:

Agreed.
Obama is no Superman. I agree that it smacks of McCarthyism to label someone un-American for not sharing the same view (on the conservative side), but liberals tend toward character assassination aimed at any who do not share their ideology. Having said that Obama's policies are without a doubt socialist, it's up to you if you agree with that or not. Superman has always stood for Truth, Justice, and The American Way. Thus far socialism has not been the American way, I for one hope that it does not become so. I harbor no resentment toward him just disagreement, besides how can I resent a fellow comic book fan.:cwink:

I think it takes an astounding level of sheer Chutzpah & Gall to post complaints about liberals being 'character assassins' under a photo that is pure and utter Right Wing slander.

It's strange how Noel Neil insists that he would never have killed himself, but Jack Larson believes he did......and they both shared such a deep affection for him.:csad:

Noel Neill and Jack Larson had agreed that George Reeves was murdered, Adventures of Superman producer/director Tommy Carr also believed George Reeves was murdered, and said so for years in interviews, but Jack Larson later decided to go along with the official police ruling of suicide after Toni Mannix's death in 1983 because he was upset that his old friend Toni Mannix was being accused of murdering George. I don't buy into the suicide story. The story of him offing himself does not add up. There were no fingerprints found on the gun, no powder burns were on George's head wound. No powder burns were on his hands. The shell to the bullet that killed him was found underneath his body... the gun on the floor was between his feet...the bullet that killed him was in the ceiling. Other bullet holes were in the floor. There were bruises on George's body. The police were not called for about thirty to forty-five minutes after Reeves' death. And George Reeves was not unable to find work, he was not broke, he was not a suicidal depressed person. The show was not going to be canceled, George Reeves had plenty of money, and his over all prospects were great. He was going to star in and direct thirteen of the twenty-six episodes of another season of The Adventures of Superman in 1959. Scripts for a Fall, 1959 season of the Adventures of Superman were being prepared in May, 1959. Character actor Pierre Watkin had been hired to play Perry White's brother while Mr. White was on an extended vacation (since John Hamilton/Perry White had actually died of a heart attack in October, 1958). George Reeves was going to star in and possibly direct a Superman movie called Superman and the Secret Planet. The script for the movie was written in 1957 by Jackson Gillis. http://www.supermanbook.com/filmstrip.php3?start=2&gg_id=0410260874
George was also going to direct a science fiction movie called Return to Earth starring Phyllis Coates, he sent her a script, and he had signed to do the movie in Spain, for which he was to be paid $75,000 and the day before he died he bought $4,000 in travelers checks for the trip to Spain. He also had plans to direct an adaption of the 1954 novel The Deserter by author Lowell Barrington. http://www.jimnolt.com/deserter.htm
George, Noel Neill, Jack Larson and Gene LeBell, George's friend and personal trainer, were going to leave for Australia, George and Gene LeBell were going to put on a live Superman wrestling show to promote The Adventures of Superman which had been sold to an Australian TV network from which George Reeves was to receive $20,000. He was also being paid $25,000 for exhibition boxing matches with Archie Moore. George Reeves was a former boxer and anxious to get into the ring with one of his boxing heroes. Speaking like the fan that he was, he said, "The Archie Moore fight will be the highlight of my life." He also signed a deal to do another television series called, "Wagon Train". Gene LeBell said, "Other actors, such as Ward Bond, Robert Horton, John McIntire, and others were being considered for regular cast members. Wagon Train ended up having great guest stars like, Henry Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Clint Eastwood and Ronald Reagan. George was offered the part as the new Wagon Master, which was a lead role. He told me he was going to give me the part as the cook, another popular character on the show. One stipulation for him to do the show was that they give the role of the cook to me. When I asked him why he wanted to have me on the show, he said he wanted to make me a "Star". We never got the chance to do Wagon Train or our live show in Australia because George tragically died before we could make the trip."
http://www.genelebell.com/stories.html
Gene LeBell was there at George's house the morning before George died, training George. Upon hearing of George's demise, he went to the house and the police unceremoniously threw him out. They said to him, "If you know what is good for you, you will get the hell out of here before we arrest you!" He is the one who saw, in George's bedroom where George was found dead, the throw rug had been moved and there were bullet holes in the floor, under the throw rug. He tripped over the rug and discovered the bullet holes. He has never believed George Reeves had killed himself, and with good reason.
http://www.supermanhomepage.com/tv/tv.php?topic=interviews/janalanhenderson1
And George didn't hate being Superman. A large painting of himself in the Superman costume dominated his living room wall. It is hard to believe that George Reeves would hang a life-size image if he hated the role. He just wanted some adult fans. He wanted to be respected and taken seriously. George Reeves told actor Milton Frome, "I only wish I knew whether or not I even have one fan who's an adult." Superman producer/director Tommy Carr, who also became a good friend of George's recalled in the book, Superman Serial to Cereal, "George would have loved to be around now to see what's happening. He often told me, 'I wish I had fans other than screaming kids. Just once I'd like to get an adult to come up and say, 'Hey, I love what you're doing and I appreciate the work you've done.' But," adds Carr, "He never got that." http://www.supermanbook.com/quoteGeorge.php3?gg_id=0205632909
And even though he wished he had some adult fans, he didn't neglect his kid fans. George Reeves was the national chairman of "The City Of Hope" Cancer research hospital and visited sick kids in hospitals and shook their hands and appeared on "The City Of Hope" Telethons on local L.A., California TV and in "The City Of Hope" parades and he raised money for the L.A., California division of United Cerebral Palsy and he appeared on UCP Telethons on local L.A., California TV and at Thanksgiving he would cook up a bunch of food, and cook up a bunch of turkeys and take it to underprivileged Hispanic people so that those people could have a holiday. George called himself "Honest George The People's Friend!" He truly was a hero in real life. That's Superman.

George Reeves met Leonore Lemmon at Toots Shor's Restaurant in New York City in 1957. Leonore Lemmon was infamous in New York as the only woman ever tossed out of the Stork Club for fist-fighting. I believe George Reeves was murdered by Leonore Lemmon in 1959. They were seen arguing that night at the Scandia Restaurant and Paul's Steak House and at George's house about getting married. Merrill Sparks, was the piano player for Paul's Steak House that used to be at Burton Way and Doheney Drive in Los Angeles, and he said he saw George and Leonore come into the restaurant the night of his death and have dinner. After dinner Leonore was chatting up all the patrons of the bar, getting free drinks. George sat at the piano bar all by himself to listen to Sparks play. Sparks said during his break, which is around 9:30 p.m., he saw George and Leonore waiting for their car. Leonore was going on at George about getting married - which was one of her favorite subjects. According to Sparks, she was saying that she wanted to get married in Baja California. George just stood there quietly and put up with all of Leonore's shenanigans, and they got in the car and went to Reeves home.
http://www.supermanhomepage.com/tv/tv.php?topic=interviews/janalanhenderson2
Janet Bliss showed up and caught a glimpse of George just as she was about to knock on the door. It made her uncomfortable -- George walking around with his shirt off (which was all she could see through the window), having an argument with Leonore in front of everyone. She decided to skip this particular party, and she went home. This book excerpt is from The Fixers: Eddie Mannix, Howard Strickling and the MGM Publicity Machine by E.J. Fleming.
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/1268/1237539906books002.png
He was trying to get away from Leonore Lemmon and he was ready to go back to work. Upset that George Reeves was backing out on her marriage plans, I believe Leonore Lemmon shot and killed him during the drunken argument that night and said it was a suicide. The police were not called for about thirty to forty-five minutes after Reeves' death, but Lemmon never explained why she waited so long to notify the authorities. Bill Bliss had told Millicent Trent that when after the shots rang out, Leonore came downstairs and said, “Tell them I was down here, tell them I was down here!”
http://www.glasshousepresents.com/Fred_Crane.htm
Leonore Lemmon claimed to know New York City gangster Frank Costello and another gangster named Joe Adonis and guys like that, she was like a mafia groupie, and this likely caused Bill Bliss and the other guests, whom were not George's friends, to cover for Leonore, shut up and not get involved.
George Reeves's body was washed and embalmed, on Leonore Lemmon's request, before a formal autopsy could be performed. Leonore Lemmon was also having an affair with a powerful lawyer named Ed Bennett Williams who represented mafia dons and this information was found in a book about Ed Bennett Williams called The Man to See, written by Evan Thomas.
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/695/1237433285books.png
Williams may have pulled a few strings and was able to have George immediately embalmed.
http://www.supermanhomepage.com/tv/tv.php?topic=interviews/janalanhenderson3
Edward Bennett Williams strongly advised Leonore not to speak to the press.
http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9822/1237432984books003.png
Leonore Lemmon attempted, without success, to claim a share of George Reeves's estate. Leonore Lemmon left California to New York the day after Reeves's death and never returned. Leonore Lemmon became an alcoholic, got fat, suffered from Dementia and died in 1989. The fact that her name began with L's like Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lori Lemaris and Linda Lee/Supergirl is also really bizarre. Leonore Lemmon wasn't anything like those girls in Superman comic books.

These book excerpts are from Superman vs. Hollywood by Jake Rossen.

Here's a detailed chronology of George Reeves with a wealth of information by George Reeves expert Jim Nolt. http://www.jimnolt.com/cal.htm
Jim Nolt also believes that Leonore Lemmon murdered George Reeves. Jim Hambrick, creator of the Superman Museum, believes that Leonore Lemmon murdered George Reeves, and many others do as well.

But you can't kill a legend. George Reeves is immortalized in 104 episodes of The Adventures of Superman. George Reeves lives on.

As a matter of fact Noel Neil was not particularly happy with the way Affleck portrayed George in Hollywoodland as mostly angry and depressed.That's right. Much of Hollywoodland is fiction. Noel Neil said, "I didn't care for how my friend George Reeves was portrayed. The George Reeves they portrayed beards no resemblance to the George Reeves I worked with, cared about and knew. I didn't see any of George's wit, charm, warmth, humor, intelligence or charitable spirit of giving to others in that film. First and foremost, George truly cared about the welfare of children, and I didn't see that aspect in the film. George's always upbeat and always positive personality didn't come through here, either. He was pretty much the person you saw on the screen: caring, professional, and often very humorous. I worked with George on the show from 1953 to the end of the run, and we traveled the fair circuit together in 1957 for many weeks, so I knew George well, and he simply was not the depressed, suicidal drunkard that was presented in this film. It's a myth that George constantly felt typecast and had some sort of angst about being in the role. Not once did I ever hear George voice discontent about being Superman, and I believe he truly enjoyed his work; and he was too smart to let it guide who he was as a person and as a performer. He had a warm, multifaceted personality. It would have helped to show the real George as he truly was, and not primarily as this unrecognizable figure. He was far better than that, and those of us who truly knew him have said that, but it seems no one is listening. I have no doubt whatsoever that Ben Affleck is probably a good and honorable person. I can see that he tried very hard in the role. But it takes a great actor to portray another great actor, and Ben Affleck is no George Reeves. I think the film is about creating a product that sells tickets. It has little to do with giving George a fair shake. I saw him two days before his death and he talked about a couple of films he was going to be making, taking a tour of Australia, and directing most of the new 1959 episodes. George was enjoying life to the fullest. He was happy and almost gleeful. Further, there are just too many unexplained facets about his death that were never explained, such as the many extra bullet holes. You only hear about the four or five in the floor, but there were many others that were in the walls. I had a friend whose husband was later hired to repair the drywall in George's bedroom. He said the place was literally riddled with bullet holes."

I've never saw that untill now and it is pretty cool. When I was little I always thought Superman with a beard was awesome. I looked for a picture of this version of SM a while back but couln't find anything but one comic cover with a not so good view of him. I also always have liked Superman with long hair, I have no favorite pic of SM like this either but these have always been tow versions of SM that have always stuck in my mind.

I also always have liked Superman with long hair, I have no favorite pic of SM like this either but these have always been tow versions of SM that have always stuck in my mind.

I'm gonna guess you've read Kingdom Come before, he's seen briefly with both beard and long hair in that.

Personally, I've never been too fond of his long hair look.

Here is the Superman with a beard I'm talking about.

we all know it was John Byrne :hehe:

[theMan-Bat]

we all know it was John Byrne :hehe:

On the contrary, John Byrne restored Superman. He did away with the Mort Weisinger/Elliot Maggin Silver Age/Bronze Age "Supermope" Superman. A Superman who feels Kryptonian, not human, feels out of place and pines for Krypton. Siegel's Superman (1938-1948) didn't pine for Krypton. I wouldn't like and would be a little afraid of the Superman who says "Great Rao" and spends his spare time in a Fortress shrine to Krypton in solitude. John Byrne brought back the cheerful, secure upbeat hero. Superman is at his best when the man part is remembered. John Byrne brought back the great sly sense of humor that Jerry Siegel had given the character, toying with criminals.

But Byrne made Clark Kent the main persona and inverted the whole Superman formula. He had basically created a new character, totally different from the Golden, Silver and Bronze Age.

You are probably right with the whole "Kryptonian angle", but it's great to see Superman as an outsider, jewish immigrant, not so much Byrne's establishment WASP.

And I didn't like newscaster Clark. Mild-mannered reporter turned VIP? no.

But Byrne made Clark Kent the main persona and inverted the whole Superman formula. He had basically created a new character, totally different from the Golden, Silver and Bronze Age.

It makes sense for Superman to think of himself as HUMAN. Clark grew up as a human, so he thinks like a human, and reacts like a human. Clark was a baby who was raised by a human couple who taught him all their values and ideals. So, although we repeatedly saw Superman portrayed as a "stranger in a strange land" in the Silver Age and Bronze Age -- especially after Julie Schwartz brought his sci-fi sensibilities to the character -- it really made no internal sense for him to be thinking of himself that way.

You are probably right with the whole "Kryptonian angle", but it's great to see Superman as an outsider, jewish immigrant, not so much Byrne's establishment WASP.

Superman is an establishment figure. The Supermope diminishes him. The pining for Krypton diminishes him. Feeling like he's not one of us diminishes him. What's special, to me, is a Superman who is fulfilled, secure, whose identity is solidly formed by his folksy human Kansas parents' values, without any desire to return to Krypton. He's generally upbeat and positive. He feels human because of his upbringing.

And I didn't like newscaster Clark. Mild-mannered reporter turned VIP? no.

I don't like newscaster Clark, either.

But he is not human. But that is not even my point. He can, of course, be an Earthman by heart.

I am talking about the Golden Age. You know, where his parents tell him to hide his true self from the world. The man who pretends to be Clark Kent, but is Superman, the ultimate man. This is something that runs through all incarnations, from 1938 to 1986.

Byrne DID NOT return him to the Golden Age roots, he turned him into Marvel-Man.



Superman is an establishment figure.

In the Silver and Bronze Age, yes.

The Supermope diminishes him. The pining for Krypton diminishes him.

I am not even talking about that. Personally I like it, but I don't need it when Superman does it.

Absolutely not. I think that gives him some layers. And you know, makes it possible to identify with him.

So why can't he be both - Earthman and Kryptonian? Is Kansas the only place to get "values"?

In Man of Steel #1 his parents help him to hide his super self, so he creates the new Clark Kent with glasses, his hair slickered back and stoops a tad, and he is Superman, the ultimate man.

Byrne DID NOT return him to the Golden Age roots, he turned him into Marvel-Man.

Byrne did return him closer to the Golden Age roots. He reduced his powers down closer to the Golden Age, he brought back his sense of humor, he made Clark Kent display confidence. And the Golden Age Siegel & Shuster Clark Kent was a quite confident, agressive reporter. The portrayal of Clark in both the Fleischer cartoons and The Adventures of Superman TV show starring George Reeves reflect that.

Golden Age Clark Kent was pretty aggressive, but not to the point of revealing his secret identity. He was "mild mannered" (which glasses are supposed to denote) so he couldn't possibly BE Superman. The glasses weren't to disguise the FACE, but to promote the image of the quiet, studious type of guy whom one wouldn't expect to be flying around the world battling criminals. He would entertain himself with Lois.

In the seventies comics, Clark Kent was very much portrayed as a buffoon... as well as the butt of many a prank by Steve Lombard, their sportscaster. In the earlier works of Superman, Clark is not portrayed as such an oaf. The portrayal of Clark in both the Fleischer cartoons and The Adventures of Superman reflect that.

Without any dialogue there, it just looks like a hillariously uncomfortable silence, like after Superman just said something really embarassing.

[ariellem]

Without any dialogue there, it just looks like a hillariously uncomfortable silence, like after Superman just said something really embarassing.

Absolutely true. We'll have to improvise. Having no idea what really happened in these panels, I'll opt for the ridiculous over the sublime.

Top three:
With the golden rays of the sun gleaming over his body, Superman strikes the most noble pose he knows... in vain. Batman refuses to look his way.
The wind tumbles our hero's forelock about. "Bruce..." [stony silence]
"You've never been this angry with me before. Is it because I trapped your goblin?" Bruce spits back, through gritted teeth: "You shouldn't have touched him, Clark. He's MINE."

Middle two:
Superman -- Clark -- looks to the cloudy, dreamy sky, weary but patient, willing Batman -- Bruce -- to understand. He knows he had no other choice. The goblin was getting between them, and knew too much.
They wait... and wait. The cape soars in the wind but can't escape Clark's determined patience. Bruce finally turns toward him, but only to glare.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b310/midnite4/wc2superman2.jpg
Bottom four:
Finally wearying - mentally - of their standoff, Superman tries another tactic. He strikes a more direct pose, one that has melted hearts around the world. "You begged me to fly you up here," his deep voice rumbles confidently. "You used to love my guns. Here's the first one. You can have them both as soon as you understand about the goblin."
The reply is equally swift and harsh. "Batman does not BEG. And love?" He grunts with disdain. "Who could love such a freak?"
Superman snaps out of his reverie: "Since when am *I* the freak? You brought him into this."
"...get yourself down. Prick." Superman launches himself to escape the Dark Knight's dark mood. There's still time to crash Lex's fundraiser back in Metropolis and salvage something of the evening. Lex always has the *finest* waiters, and not a goblin among them.

Golden Age Clark Kent was an aggressive and competent reporter. And Clark did beat Lois out of a Superman story occasionally in the Golden Age.

[TruerToTheCore]

No. But keep believin'

BTW, since you like to quote people:

John Byrne

I took as my model the familiar Superman,
not the radically downpowered bully (and cold blooded killer) of the S&S
version.

[theMan-Bat]

No. But keep believin'

No, Golden Age Clark Kent was an aggressive and competent reporter. And Clark did beat Lois out of a Superman story occasionally in the Golden Age. The proof is in the Superman Chronicles as well as the Fleischer Superman cartoons. And do you have a source for that quote? Because here's a completely contradictory John Byrne quote that I know is real,
"I have taken my standard 'Back to the Basics' approach," John Byrne says about his work on Superman. "Everything that has accumulated over the years has been the result of people trying to do something different. So now I'm taking Superman back to the basics, and that becomes different because it hasn't been done in so long. It's basically Siegel and Shuster's Superman meets the Fleischer Superman in 1986."

Imagine a tandem comic with Byrne's Superman and Neal Adams' Batman :wow:

[Superman Prime]

No, Golden Age Clark Kent was an aggressive and competent reporter. And Clark did beat Lois out of a Superman story occasionally in the Golden Age. The proof is in the Superman Chronicles as well as the Fleischer Superman cartoons. And do you have a source for that quote? Because here's a completely contradictory John Byrne quote that I know is real,
"I have taken my standard 'Back to the Basics' approach," John Byrne says about his work on Superman. "Everything that has accumulated over the years has been the result of people trying to do something different. So now I'm taking Superman back to the basics, and that becomes different because it hasn't been done in so long. It's basically Siegel and Shuster's Superman meets the Fleischer Superman in 1986."
And here's the link to this quote: http://theages.superman.nu/ges/steel.php

I remember in the Byrne reboot, Lois asked Superman for an interview, and Superman responded with something to the effect of: "No, sorry, it will be of no use to you."

Because he used his "Superman interview" to get a job at the Planet.

[CLARKY]

Yeah, truly awesome. :up:

Thank you for that. Curt Swan is one of the definitive Superman pencillers for me.

Wow, I disagree. Every occasion to remind that SR was a failure is good. John Byrne interpretation is not the only one valid. Singer prefer Kal El supes, Byrne prefers Clark Kent Supes, and Bruce timm prefers Superman Supes, so to speak. All is good for me. I prefer John Byrne's vision anyway but the way he draws the suit is not the only one valid, come on, and consider SR was flawed because Singer considered Superman with the alien angle and with a different suit is really close-minded, sorry for the strong word. Maybe the movie had its errors but the whole hate of the suit or the identity is as fake as close-minded. If there is one thread on these boards where it is visible that Superman had different suits and different colors, it is this thread. Why can't you see it ?
Everyone complains that the SR suit was bad, yet no one agrees on what it should be. Check the "redesign the suit" thread. :down

I think Byrne's Superman should be the model and basis for all future onscreen Supermen. He just nailed it perfectly, great suit and colors, good cape length, perfect hair (not too rigid with a defined curl) and just a great basic look for the man himself.

I think Byrne's Superman should be the model and basis for all future onscreen Supermen. He just nailed it perfectly, great suit and colors, good cape length, perfect hair (not too rigid with a defined curl) and just a great basic look for the man himself.
Got to agree; Byrne's Superman design was the best since the Curt Swan days. :word:

The best superman artist ever was curt swan.


Equally, while we're at it, I never liked Wayne Boring's Superman.

Too damn barrell-chested; one step away from Superman looking like he had a beer belly and man-boobs (something which Alex Ross's Supes borders perillously close to at times).

Alex and Doug Braithwaite's Superman in Justice was perfect... I really hope they collaborate on something again.

sadly....this one picture ( and Superman's thought bubbles ) show why the entire premise of SR was flawed..........:csad:

that aside, while I'm not a fan of the undies, this is how Superman's colors should be........big, bold, colorful, bright.....not muted, drab, and dreary.......

Well, no. Maybe if it were actually red and not orange.
