This low ranking is to say nothing negative of George Reeves’ unforgettable portrayal of the Man of Steel for six seasons in Adventures of Superman. However, Superman and the Mole Men, released in 1951, was basically a glorified TV pilot, only included here because it did have a theatrical release. Rather than battling the titular Mole Men, Supes d...
There is little to say about 2017’s Justice League that hasn’t already been said. Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon are both distinctive filmmakers with little common ground. The awkwardly stitched together, tonally incoherent mess of a movie is the result of two conflicting visions that never should’ve been a part of the same film. It’s not, strictly sp...
With Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, the most iconic portrayal of Superman ended, not with a bang, but definitely a whimper. It’s heartbreaking to put Christopher Reeve’s final outing in the red cape so low on the list, especially since it was a story that meant so much to the actor. Reeve had hoped to put the Man of Steel back on track after Sup...
While fans were undeniably excited to see the Dark Knight face off against the Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicewas an utterly joyless film in which both heroes are absolutely impossible to like, let alone root for. Released in 2016, Zack Snyder's second DCEU film certainly has its defenders, but the movie didn’t do either character ...
Zack Snyder's Justice Leaguedealt with some of the issues that cropped up from the 2017 release and the effects of its questionable alterations to the overall plot and universe, and provided curious audiences a fascinating closer look at what the original film was to look like. However, the movie wasn't able to escape some of the core issues that p...
The original plan for Superman IIImight've panned out differently, but the film released in 1983 feels like the result of someone pitching a Superman/Richard Pryor movie but not actually hammering out any of the story details beforehand. Though the movie might be ridiculous, Reeve was still at the top of his game and Pryor is undeniably funny, even...
Exploring the lonelier, more alien side of Superman isn’t a bad idea on a paper. The Last Son of Krypton has often struggled with feelings of isolation, a topic that was thoroughly explored on Smallville, but a dark, brooding Superman isn't the beacon of hope for mankind that many fans expect to see. However, it’s not that easy to be a god among me...
If Superman Returns is guilty of anything, it’s loving the Richard Donner films a little too much. It’s understandable, considering even after all these years, Superman remains a crowning achievement in superhero films. The 2006 movie ignored Superman III and IV, instead continuing on from Superman II. Overall, Bryan Singer's film was a pretty soli...
Despite its notoriously troubled production, Superman II holds up not only as one of the best movies featuring the Man of Steel, but also as one of the best superhero outings in general. Much like Justice League, the film was the result of two conflicting visions, but Superman II still holds up. The Donner Cut is great too, but the movie’s theatric...
1978’s Superman introduced the world to Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel, and he remains the actor most closely associated with the role, despite all the time that passed and the many other actors to take up the mantle since. It also brought fans the palpable chemistry between Reeve’s Superman and Margot Kidder’s intrepid reporter, Lois Lane. ...

Superman's body is a radiation sponge. Solar Radiation gives him his powers. Kryptonite pushes the solar radiation out of his cells and slowly poisons him, making him vulnerable to the harmful effects of the radiation. As soon as he lands on the Island with a thud, his powers are draining and he gets feverish.
Superman's return to earth occurs in a fiery crash; a plane catches fire and plummets through the sky; Superman rescues victims in other violent scenes (explosion caused by cigarette butt lighting gas, bank robbery, earthquake, woman falling off building, car out of control); Lex beats, kicks, and stabs Superman with kryptonite shard; a little dog is shown eating its fellow little dog ...

If I had to choose, I'd still go with 'Superman: The Movie', and 'Superman II', as being the top of the Superman film game. 'Returns' is pretty close to the bottom, though, maybe a little better than 'JL' or even 'BvS', which figuratively and literally destroyed Superman completely. Lol, At least 'Superman Returns' tried to do well.
