James Gunn stepped into some sizzling water with followers when he selected to recast Superman for his new DC Studios relaunch. Whereas Henry Cavill’s efficiency as the Man of Metal was broadly appreciated—regardless of the movies themselves being divisive—Gunn’s resolution to maneuver in a brand new route raised eyebrows. That mentioned, his alternative of David Corenswet to don the cape has largely paid off. Corenswet has earned reward from each followers and critics, doubtlessly setting the stage for a long term in the new DCU.

However the place does Corenswet rank amongst the big-screen Supermen? Our personal Tyler Nichols positioned him as runner-up to the perennial favourite, Christopher Reeve. Now, it’s time to show the query over to you, the readers.

For the sake of completeness, we’ve included small-screen Superman actors in the ballot—although we’ve overlooked Superboy portrayals like Tom Welling’s, as technically they weren’t taking part in the fully-formed Man of Metal. Meaning actors equivalent to George Reeves and Dean Cain are truthful sport.

I’m genuinely curious to see how followers vote. As for me, whereas I like each Corenswet and Cavill for his or her takes on the character, there’ll solely ever be one true Superman in my e-book—and that’s Christopher Reeve. If you wish to revisit his legacy, I extremely advocate Tremendous/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, now streaming on HBO Max.
