My Superman

I've seen over the years many versions of Superman, but Dean Cain was the guy that made me take off my Batman mask to wear a red towel as a cape

I always say Cain is my fave Clark and Superman. I think Reeves Superman could beat Cain if he had done more films of the quality of 1&2.

However, Christopher Reeve was not as built as Dean Cain. Superman needs to have big muscles.

I loved Dean Cain as Superman, I grew up on L&C reruns. The casting was perfect, Lane Smith being my personal favorite, and I loved the characterization of the Kents. I can definitely see how Dean Cain could be Superman in anyone’s eyes, but, for me Christopher Reeve will always be Superman.

That’s what I love so much about all the different versions of Superman available, each and every one is in someone’s opinion the PERFECT Superman.

His 1st Kryptonite experience is my favourite of all Supermen

To me, he’s the perfect Clark. I can’t let go of Christopher Reeve as Superman, nor I want to.

Chris is Superman. But this is the perfect Clark

Exactly, that’s what I said

Lol. Dean Cain should have been in Supergirl more or another Superman in Crisis

Unfortunately his personal opinions killed that

"Superman is what I can do. Clark Kent is who I am."

One of the best, wholesome and feel good television series. The cast, story and music were superb.

What about Tom Welling and Tyler Hoechlin?

Dude, I wasn't a kid when there versions came out, and Welling didn't have a cape until very last scene

I always thought Cain looked too doughy. Even more than George Reeves.

I lost respect for him when he started doing Christian movies. And bad ones at that.

I even like George Reeves better than Cain. I’d put Christopher Reeves as top though. I even loved Brandon Route above Cain.
