Plus his back story is far more poignant and tragic than that of George Reeves. Maybe Henry Cavill will get Lou Gehrig's disease.

..."stand with him on a skyscraper ledge"<br /><br />That brought back an old childhood memory of watching a TV show about standing out on a ledge. <br /><br />I think I'm remembering something different, but I found that terribly frightening. I think somebody was threatening suicide and got talked in. Probably slipped while coming in and almost died after deciding life is worth living. That would have had to have happened, under the rules of melodrama.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-57766074948803175682015-01-05T06:46:42.045-06:002015-01-05T06:46:42.045-06:00I recall an episode in which an armed man forces L...I recall an episode in which an armed man forces Lois Lane #1 (Phyllis Coates, not Noel Neill) to stand with him on a skyscraper ledge. Superman shows up, and when he finds out what's going on, he says to the man in a severe tone, "You're jeopardizing your life and Miss Lane's just to win a bet???"<br /><br />At that moment, Superman sounded like an old-fashioned school principal. I remembered liking the idea that Superman was acting like a true grown-up - this was back in the days when people were supposed to grow up and assume adult responsibility.<br /><br />Of course, Adam West's Batman was a very civic-minded super-hero too, but that was played for camp value.MisterBuddwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121831316136762751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-32627133947511760352015-01-05T06:36:24.189-06:002015-01-05T06:36:24.189-06:00If George Reeves was born in 1914, then it's h...If George Reeves was born in 1914, then it's his 101st birthday.MisterBuddwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121831316136762751noreply@blogger.com
