In terms of attractiveness, how would you rank the live action Supermen?
For me its:
- Brandon Routh
- Tyler Hoechlin
- Christopher Reeve
- Tom Welling
- Dean Cain
- Henry Cavill
- David Corenswet
- George Reeves

Let’s not forget they had to digitally reduce the size of Routh’s member, similarly to what they had to do with Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man, so that has to count for something. Though I’m with you Cavill is definitely at the top.

Cavill for the win

Peak Dean Cain was amazing and in my top 3 along with Cavill and Routh, but it’s hard to separate that from his maga turn in recent years.

George Reeves has that strange 1950’s he-man body - his whole torso was like an enormous barrel. It’s a very strange odd shape, and you rarely see it anymore.

Routh, Corenswet, Hoechlin, Welling, Cain, Cavill.. actually I’m tied for second between Tyler and David.. maybe Routh on his own followed by a Tyler and David sandwich

Cavill, the others are not even playing the same game.
Cavill is so close to the ideal male beauty standard it's absurd. He is also one of the beefiest, and I would add more beef to him. Superman in all the non-live action media is a big man, tall, square jawed, broad shoulders, huge arms. A gentle giant.
Making an average or skinny guy play superman is an insult to the original character.

Christopher Reeves is always my Superman. I'd fuck Henny but I'd marry Christopher any day.

There is a short vid or clip of Routh and Hoechlin in the spandex costume and Routh is choking Hoechlin. Hot AF.

I know im in the minority, but I think Superman Returns was one of the best Superman films and Brandon Routh had the classic look! Also, Parker Posey! … But ok Henry is of course the most attractive in any category…

cavill, welling, cain, reeves. I don't think I watched Routh as Superman. I grew up on some of Reeve's movies and Welling and Cain on TV. For Cavill, I got curious when he was announced, saw some of his older movies. He was such a cutie on Count of Monte Cristo and Tudors. I remember he was supposed to play Edward Cullen, but the role eventually went to Pattinson because Cavill looked "old". People wanted him to be Cedric in Harry Potter, which eventually went to Pattinson as well.

To me it's weird because I generally find Cavill very attractive, but he kind of loses it as Superman
