HAPPY SUPERMAN DAY!

The three live-action versions of Superboy.

John Rockwell from the unsuccessful pilot for The Adventures of Superboy (1961).

John Haymes Newton from the first season of Superboy (1988).

And Gerard Christopher, who played Superboy/Clark Kent for the final three seasons of Superboy, which was retitled The Adventures of Superboy for season 3 & 4 (1989-1992).

Coincidentally. Christopher was originally cast to play an adult Superman/Clark Kent in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. He lost the role when the producers learned that he played Superboy.

Superman

365 DC Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

September 15th - Superman

The hero and beacon of truth and justice called Superman was born Kal-L of the planet Krypton, far off in a distant universe. Krypton was populated by a technologically advanced species that resembles humans. Shortly after Kal-L’s birth, his planet was destroyed in a natural cataclysm. Kal-L’s scientist father, Jor-L, foresaw this calamity and he saved his son by sending the infant off in a specialized spacecraft. The ship traversed the cosmos while the baby remained in stasis. It arrived on earth, landing in Kansas where it was discovered by a kindly pair of farmers named Jonathan and Martha Kent. The Kents chose to adopt the baby as their own and named him Clark. It turned out that the solar energy of Earth’s yellow sun acted to empower Clark’s alien physiology, bestowing him incredible super strength, durability and speed. As he grew older Clark would discover additional powers, such as x-ray vision, heat vision, freezing breath and the capacity to fly at supersonic speeds. Ma and Pa Kent taught young Clark conceal his amazing powers and otherworldly origins as well as to use his abilities for good. Clark initially created the guise of Superboy, using the blankets he arrived in to fashion a colorful costume. Clark would have numerous adventures as Superboy. As an adult, he relocated to the city of Metropolis where he found work as a journalist and The Daily Planet Newspaper. Now older, Clark was called Superman and his acts of astounding heroism captivated the city and the world as a whole. Due to his incredible strength, Clark had to exercise the utmost of caution when interacting with regular humans, careful not to accidentally hurt anyone around him. For this, Clark was often viewed by his peers as meek and clumsy. Nevertheless, he was an excellent reporter and trusted friend and he grew very close with his colleagues at The Daily Planet, especially the intrepid Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Lois Lane. This closeness between Clark and Lois ultimately blossomed into a romance and Clark eventually divulged to Lois that he and Superman were one and the same. After a long courtship the two were married and would later have a son together who they named Jon after Clark’s adopted father. One of Superman’s few weaknesses is Kryptonite. This is the radioactive remnants of Superman’s home planet that have been scattered about the universe. Superman’s foes have periodically used Kryptonite in their efforts to defeat and kill The Man of Steel. Chief among these foes is the villainous genius Alexander ‘Lex’ Luthor, who has continued on as the hero’s primary arch nemesis. Following a terrible battle with the villain called Doomsday, Superman was believed to have died and Lois and the whole world mourned, facing the bleak prospect of world without Superman. Yet it turned out that Superman had not perished, rather he had entered into a comatose state allowing the energies of Earth’s sun to repair and revive him. Along with countless adventures on his own, Superman had additionally served as a central member of the Justice League. In his youth, Superboy spent time in the distant future as a member of The Legion of Superheroes. The Pre-Crisis/Earth II version of Superman was also a member of both the Justice Society and All-Star Squadron. Although the two are quite different, Superman has maintained a close friendship with his fellow hero Batman. Superman has featured in numerous movie serials, feature films and television shows. The various actors who have portrayed the Man of Steel including Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, John Haymes Newton, Gerard Christopher, Stacy Haiduk, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill and Tyler Hoechlin. Superman first appeared in the pages of Action Comics #1 (1938).

Alive (1993)

Summary: Documents the true tale of a Uruguayan rugby team whose plane crashes in the Andes en route to Chile, and their struggle to survive.

Tense and slightly terrifying dramatization of slightly terrifying story. More religious than expected, and scenery beautiful despite context.

Rating: 3.75/5

Gerard Christopher as Superboy in the television series, (re-titled The Adventures of Superboy for Seasons 3 and 4) that ran from 1988 to 1992.

Christopher played Superboy/Clark Kent for Seasons 2-4, taking over for original actor John Haymes Newton. It's nearly universally agreed that this was a huge improvement.

After the series was cancelled in 1992, Christopher auditioned for the role of Superman in the upcoming ABC series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. He was actually chosen for the role by the casting director. However, the producers balked when they realized that Christopher had already played the role, albeit a younger version, and cast Dean Cain instead.

I was never a fan of Lois and Clark, and Christopher would have been a superior Superman to Cain's version, of which the less said the better.
