Look Up in the Sky! | The Amazing Story of Superman 

Dude is rolling over in his grave over what Marvel is doing now

Yeah, he'd be nothing without Superman. He said it best. he will be missed.

@@willmac623 ??

Glad they included him in this, shows that Marvel and DC may have been rivals but they weren't enemies.

yeah but for me dc is the best

Just rewatched Christopher Reeve's Superman. I had forgotten how well he played the nerdy, clumsy, and sweet Clark Kent. Absolutely phenomenal actor. Best Clark Kent ever! Great Superman!

I've always preferred GEORGE REEVES' manly, no nonsense Superman and less wimpy Clark Kent!

I definitely agree…one of my favorite actors….👍❤️

No iIwould say Dean Cain is the best one, Lois and Clarke The New Adventures of Superman was a revolutinary Superman series that shined in the 1990s that focused on Clarke Kent and make Superman down to Earth and relatable

Definitely a memory .........if there is the best that makes a Super Man, Christopher Reeve was SUPER.

He is superb!

Exactly!!! I couldn't have said it better!!!!

Facts

I do like it but how come no LGBTQ representation. DC should be better than this. I will protest on Twitter.

@@trhansen3244 Then go make up your own superhero.

without question . . . he made everyone believe

he was the best

God bless him and his family for hi# career achievements and dedication of himself as a father a friend and a superhero in it's humbling social satire of humanity

His name is Brandon Routh.

@@JD37 Is his last name pronounced like Ruth? Thanks.

@@charlesdavis7087 Like south with an R. No problem!

He sucked. No one but Reeve

@@p_nk7279hristopher Reeve is my Superman as well. I saw Superman II on the big screen back in the day. However, I found Routh to be a good Superman, however I felt Superman Returns could have been much better. They should have down an origin story with Routh.

Christopher Reeve brought absolute believability and sincerity to the role

Brandon Routh is a few inches taller than Henry Cavill. I like them both and Tyler Hoechlin as SM, but Cavill didn't get great material to work with.

ofcourse he's the OG even the comics make sure superman is better than batman if i think of superhero superman pop up first

Yeah I love how he is the paragon of hope

Me too. Batman will always the best DC character, but Superman is something more than that. Maybe it's because of the times we live in, but I also have taken quite a shine to Superman lately.

It’s great liking both. They are brothers from another Martha

Movie Time nobody cares

George Reeve's

I came here to read these comment. I agree.

I!Agree With All Of You About This One!Martin!On TV 📺 🙄 🤣 😒 😑 😏!George Reeves LookSo Handsome TOO 😍 😉 ❤ 😎 👌 😀!And!JB!That Be!Christopher REEVE!InThe Movies 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 📽 😀!

@@jeanbaumgartner4052 thank you but i was not able to read your entire message I GOT EMOJI OVERLOAD There is no emoticon to describe the way i am feeling after reading all your emoji's. About to implode Must watch Emoji movie again, Must learn to be a MEH Again :P

@@Whats.Next.Videos I can respect that comment but i'd be lying if i said to you that i didn't really feel sorry for you for not knowing Christopher Reeve it really is such a shame that you only have Henry to go off

Reeve. Christopher Reeve. There’s no S.

@@richardvinsen2385 I always misspell his name. Thank you.

@@thirdcoastfirebird Probably understandable. George REEVES played superman in the 1950's TV show.

@@andrewmurray1550 This is true.

@@thirdcoastfirebird Maybe you are thinking of Steve Reeves? The Hercules of the 50’s

You don’t need to have powers to act like Superman. You already have the capacity for good, Optimus.

Doesn't look like Zack Snyder watched this

Max Alain's Meme Stash he clearly did considering how great Man of Steel is

Especially Zack Snyder

allowed

@@lottji fixed it. Thank you

Still, It's a White Boy Superhero That Never Really Existed And The Never Will !!!!!!!!!!!

Every Character wouldn´t exist without him.

and Goku

That's right! Superman has always been an ultimate symbol of heroism and a main inspiration to others.

@@thomasharrison6701 you can be Superman by following his example to see the good in others when others don’t have any hope. That’s the whole point of Superman

You are very insightful, Saturday mornings were something to look forward too as a child.

All there is on Saturday mornings now are crappy E/I programming and "news". Why does education have too be a 24 hour 7 day a week thing now?

@@kevinnelson66 because parents demanded it.

This is such Bs. I was born in 2005. My generation and all the ones between you and me had the same experiences. The only reason you don’t think that is because you’re not a kid anymore so you don’t feel the same way about more modern Superman stuff. But believe me growing up with things like Superman the animated series, justice league/unlimited, Smallville, and the arrowverse were just amazing and special.

What about homelander hahahaha

Superman is forevermore forever ♾ he’s been myself heroic iconic hero we love unconditionally forever ditto and kudos to you thanks Supergirl herself always will never nevertheless lose and Superman himself will never nevertheless lose sadly he lost his life in 1993-1994 and resurrection was triumphant iffy if possible you watched Supergirl the tv is the best legendary legacy of Superman and Supergirl we love unconditionally thanks we also love smallville season 01-10 (2001,2002-2010,2011) ended with a exciting surprise explosion 💥 we love him and her because of heroism thanks peace and blessings to you unconditionally thanks peace.

Very first scene I saw in Superman the movie was the alley scene where Clark catches the bullet

Pretty much the only Character I actually have in my heart is him apart from Sailor Venus.

Same here! I always saw Superman as the number one superhero in DC and still do today.

Same! When I was 4 (I think, well at least around that time), I tried crossing the street with my arms out as if I were flying like him and singing his iconic tune! Then I got ran over by a motorcycle and was sent to the hospital.

Mine too! Fans of today just don't get how big Superman has always been since the old days here.

Haha I see what you did there

Well played 😂

That was good !

It's not a bad documentary by no means, but Singer and Spacey should seek help

Spacey and Singer are the butt of all jokes ...

The 1940's Paramount Superman cartoons were the first to show Superman flying. Before that he leaped from building to building.

@@johnbockelie3899 Yeah hence the leaping a building speech because before the cartoons he didn't have full flight. All his powers exist because of our sun. If that were blocked out he would be less powerful?

@@davidaston5773 probably. Superman's body works like a solar power cell.So if the sun light was some how blocked , he would start losing his power.

@@johnbockelie3899 Do you know what the different coloured Kryptonites do? I'm sure there's other ones apart from green? Ironic, the ONLY thing that could weaken and KILL Superman is a piece... of home?

Great actor and director.. Cancel culture is toxic BS in society today.. Nobody goes to Jail, charges dropped etc.. "But hey cancel them anyway"

*Reeve

Same here! Fans of today just don't see how big he's always been since the old days and he's the one who came first before Batman and the others.

What makes Superman a hero is not his powers, but his heart

Superman is the Heart of Gold 💛

I have always had this reoccurring dream of someone doing a Golden Age Superman movie though, taking him back to where she still flies but epic to see him struggle with trains, buses, etc… it would look amazing taking Superman back to 1940’s or even just same struggling, decrease his power, so he does struggle and not invincible, it’s my dream,

Mine too, however, for a female character, I will always be for Wonder Woman ;)

i have this DVD to, it came with the Superman Ultimate collection DVD set which included all of the Superman DVD's at the time which was Superman the movie through Superman Returns.

They need to update this with Cavill's Superman

@@seankidwell8208 I have the 5 DVD set ( including the the Donnor cut) and the original S2 Lester cut.

@@sandrasanders706 cool, the one I have is the 14 disc set, disc 1-4 is Superman the movie and bonus features ( first disc is the original movie, second is the special edition of the movie), disc 5-7 is Superman 2 including the Richard Donner Cut, Disc 8 is Superman 3, disc 9 is Superman 4, disc 10& 11 is Superman Returns and bonus features, disc 12 is this documentary, disc 13 is called You Will believe, disc 14 is Bryan Singers Video Journals.

@@seankidwell8208 They also released the exact same contents in HD, on Blu-ray several years ago. I own both the DVD and Blu-ray versions of the set. The Blu-ray I found by chance for $4AU at a Charity Shop here in Australia!

cavil is a horribly written superman he has no character ,no personalities at all .no character development . likability and relatability factor is down right 0 .just a bland boring prop with the look

superman is no 1

Christopher Reeves is to this day is still the greatest tl Superman. I wish we could have see him in the Snyder- Verse.

@@johncap6495 Gonna be pedantic: *Reeve, no "s". Also I agree. Brandon Routh was a good stand-in for Reeve and it would've been cool to see Routh (As Reeve) meet Cavill as a sort of "Pre-Crisis Superman meets Post-Crisis Superman" moment.

​@@herloss448Henry Cavill Superman has tons of character, personality, character development, and likeability. You can't see that because Zack Snyder's movies are bit too intelligent for someone like you who's been fed MCU junk food. Not impressed.

I totally agree with you I thoroughly enjoyed this!

Really? Here's a description of another super hero from 1933 (5 years before Superman) in the very first novel from 1933.... His real name was Clark He was called a superman He was also called The Man of Bronze He had a hideout in the Arctic Circle He named his hideout "The Fortress of Solitude" Sound familiar???

@@bjbell52 - Just as surely s bronze predated steel, Doc Savage did predate Superman. But since they are both fictional characters it doesn't really matter, unless you also believe in Marty McFly.

@@bobsradio6025 It probably would have mattered to Lester Dent or Street and Smith for stealing intellectual property. At least the writers of Superman comics waited until S&S stopped publishing the pulp magazine.

Every time I would see they opening up that classic show I would recite every word along with the announcer...LOL

Thank you, that’s the original first George rReeves epidode, then they changed it, so thank you so much for posting it

I agree it's a shame some of the movies look cringe. C. R. Does make up for the campy scenes like star trek original show. I wish c.r. made movies today with a young C.R.

God birthed him to play Superman, and God is always right.

@@Whats.Next.Videos I'm super old lol

I!Agree With You About This One!Sebastián!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨!I've Seen The!Movie At!The!Local!Movie Theater 🎥 😄 😀 ✨ 😍 ♥!IN!West BURLINGTON,Iowa (USA)MY!Home town!

Bryan Singer does not.

Agree. Brandon was wonderful. A bit too skinny and the costume looked made for Halloween, but the actor was great.

Oh, cmon, I love Routh, watch him on legends of tomorrow! But as much as I do, he now looks, unfortunately and not PC, tooo Jewish!

*Reeve

MCU is trash kiddo. Thank Disney.

I agree, they've been WAY too focused on Batman lately!

Just comics in general🤷🏽‍♂️

Well, I mean Batman would technically be the backbone of Detective Comics and Superman would be Action Comics's, but I see your point and I agree.

Superman is the backbone but batman is the rest of the body

Batman was a vigilante, who used clever inventions and human strengths, (not fantastic super-powers), to defeat criminals, (until the comics and TV goofed him up).

I’m more of a superman guy. I grew up in superman and Batman came in in 1989. Batman will always be number 2 to me

the animation of those early Max Fleischer cartoons is still INCREDIBLE to watch. Even Superman the Animated Series didnt have that technique of using rich watercolor for skies and shadows. The scenes of Superman using his-heat-vision are beautiful. Someone has to combine the smooth beauty of the Fleischer cartoons with the character development,action, and plot of Superman the Animated Series. Can u imagine if Max Fleischer had worked with Bruce Timm on Superman the Animated Series ? What would that look like?

Superman is universal whether they have him portrayed by a European actor or an African or Latino if they're honoring the memory of Superman God bless them.

Tyler superman fit with been beating by super girl.

Uh just imagine if Chris and Michael would have done BVS/The Dark Knight Returns on the big screen! Despite the technological limitations for special effects of the time it still probably would have been one of the highest grossing movies of all time!

@@adamw116 Keaton as The Dark Knight Returns version of Batman taking on Reeves as the Kingdom Come version of Superman would’ve been huge! Tim Burton directing would’ve been the icing on the cake.

I think that christopher reeve would go better with adam west batman, that would be the greatest crossover ever

@@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305 Adam West's Batman was to campy and was the least serious take on the character. Chris Reeves Superman was more of a serious take. As serious as could be for the time, to a certain extent. Even Reeves suit for the time had more of a believable and suprising practicality to it then West's cosplay looking outfit. It also helped though that Reeve's physique was a more muscular one then West's.

what have the done its how the world would actually reacts if an alien came from another planet

Your heart!!......Sups saved me from bad times,superman is ah better comic that needed to honorable not some run of the mill joke like batman!

@@angelofdarkness243I dont understand why you people hate Superman

you should watch Superman & Lois

I think Warner Bros Discovery is going to put things on a much better track

And director Richard donner

He never thought he was amazing though

That's right he was always the soul of humility.

Transformers the movie 1986 Paramount and Hasbro

Wanner bros

I'm a much bigger Marvel fan, my personal favorite comic book character is Laura Kinney (X-23, Wolverine, Talon), the rest of my top five favorites in comics; She-Hulk, Deadpool, Captain America, and Thor; are all Marvel. And I feel no shame whatsoever in admitting that Superman is by far the greatest comic book character of all time, followed closely by Batman.

He's the most recognisable

Nah batman is still a superhero to me

Batman is overrated af. They try to paint him as this super complex character, but he is rather shallow. Other superheroes have gone through worse, yet they write him as if his suffering is unbearable by anyone but him.

@@danielmpld3775 too true. Same with harley quinn....both characters are getting so much exposure and its h in nestly made me hate the characters....

Batman is cooler and more badass which appeals to a modern day audience more than a guy with great powers trying to do the right thing.

Amen to all that! Superman will always be number one!

You forgot MARGOT KIDDER aka LOIS LANE from the Christopher Reeves filns!

Well if you want her included at least include the same info as the other poster Margot Kidder (Lois Lane in the Superman movie franchise starring Christopher Revee (no "s" in his last name) died May 13, 2018 age 69.

@@jackvannote Thanks for the update on Margot. I missed the news. Sad. We were born the same year. Peace

@@pontiuspilot9301 👍🙏🏋️‍♂️

OH yeah hands down the most Iconic Superhero of all time

Both are included in a box set I have, including all of the Superman movies up to Returns.

It's fun seeing a Pre-Arrowverse Brandon Routh

I love the science of Superman documentary, I think it’s in my blu ray box set

It should get updated.

@@sha11235 agreed especially with some insight on the making of Man of Steel as well as the creation of the DC Extended Universe and comment on The New 52.

Overbound. I could not believe the people complaining about Brandon Roush playing Superman..I thought he was the best Superman since Chris Reeve..I'd rather watch that than Cavill..so unrelatable to me. And yes Rousch was great!!!

@@sandrasanders706 Routh was awesome. He played the role VERY well, and was a fitting successor to Reeve. Cavill is great, too, but Snyder's writing for him is a little too... dark.

@@sandrasanders706 DEAN CAIN excellent dans Lois et Clark

That’s cuz this was around the time SuperMan returns was released

@@marioarcadia3611 read his post again and then think before you write

We already have them in animation.

We already have 3 versions of the death of Superman, and a follow up to one of them called reign of the supermen with superboy, cyborg Superman, eradicator, and that steel robot suit guy that put an S on his suit.

A death plagiarist who was probably crapping his diapers when this was filmed

@@thatweirdgirl2703 why don't you take your negativity and bs and vent it out on Twitter along with rest of the hive mind idiots there.

@@thatweirdgirl2703 you are what is completely wrong in this world you are the reason why nowadays there are no iconic heroes anymore that could inspire kids in the future since you call everything plagiarism that remotely takes any inspiration from previous heroes and thats all that stan lee was he was inspirated and he nowadays is an inspiration

His name was Christopher Reeve!

Facts!

Maybe this will surprise you, but he was childhood friends with Marv Wolfman!

@@gb7995 I didn't know that. Thanks for the trivia

@@gb7995 Prayers for George Perez.

Gracias a sus debilidades pudimos deleitarnos con la BRUTAL Y FASCINANTE escena en la que el señor Luthor, con su impecable traje, su soberbia camisa azul de cuellos perfectamente almidonados y su preciosa corbata, lo levanta en vilo con una sola mano, lo aprieta con su fuerte brazo en el que luce un fantástico gemelo en el puño de su camisa y, sin parar de echarle su aliento a tabaco, lo destripa, lo TRITURA y lo TIRA A LA BASURA. Fue genial ver a ese guaperas trajeado machacar y TRITURAR VIVO al crío del pijama y reventarle un pulmón, mientras disfrutaba con lo que hacía, tratándolo como un despojo humano. Luego, el cobarde prefirió el suicidio antes de caer de nuevo en manos de su TORTURADOR. El resultado de esta lucha desigual entre un patético crío en pijama y todo un hombre con traje fue, lógicamente, de muerte para el más débil. La mayoría aplaudimos extasiados en el cine, aunque un poco decepcionados por que no lo hubiese DESPEDAZADO VIVO

Here is more legends bigger than him

he is also in the batman documentary "The legend of the dark knight: the history of batman"

Stan Lee was the head of Marvel for decades and of course he has thoughts about the DC universe. Just like the CEO of Ford has thoughts about Chevrolet.

Stan lee recognized the impact of this character and embraced it.

Enrique Pascual yes Stan lee is a great sport

DEMAND IT 😠

I think this quote, represents what Superman means, we are capable of so much, we just need a good guide. We can be extraordinary, every single one of us.

The movie copied this quote from ALL STAR SUPERMAN.

@@tanvirhasankhan4178 Well, yeah, the studio had the rights to make the movie so, using the source material is good. 😁👍 And still a great quote.

That’s what iv been saying to WB’s for bloody years, it would be huge, it would bring Superman right back to his golden age then announce new Superman movie with new actor, decrease his powers & have Mathew Vaughn & Marc Millar & Dave Gibbons do new Superman

That'd be so cool !!!

That could be incredible. And I hope Russell Crowe for narrator for this expanded documentary.

Ivan Gomez That would be nice

I'd love that!
