The man has everything: laser vision, super strength, the power of flight, great hair <em>and<\/em> a full-time job with benefits. It\u2019s no wonder he remains a fan-favorite all these decades later! As such, Superman has been reimagined for the big screen dozens of times, and his famous red boots have been filled by a wide variety of actors. Some actors brought this namesake hero to life in amazing ways, but others weren\u2019t able to fulfill the high expectations set by fans. From his days in black and white to his latest adventures in the DC Extended Universe, here\u2019s a comprehensive ranking of the most notable Superman actors.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --> <span class=\"related-single\">Related: Every Actor Who Played Batman, Ranked<\/span><br \/>\n <!-- Zone: native in content. --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"kirk-alyn---superman-1948-1950\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Kirk_Alyn_%E2%80%93_Superman_1948-1950\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">7 <\/span> Kirk Alyn &#8211; Superman (1948-1950)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/97D6B089-35D3-472E-9AB3-CEF2716D30D1.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/97D6B089-35D3-472E-9AB3-CEF2716D30D1.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/97D6B089-35D3-472E-9AB3-CEF2716D30D1.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/97D6B089-35D3-472E-9AB3-CEF2716D30D1.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Original Superman\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Via: Columbia Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> Most people might be disappointed to see the original Superman at the bottom of this list, but his ranking here does not suggest he did a bad job. As a pioneer of silver screen heroes, Kirk Alyn had to use what <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> was available and follow instructions given to him by the directors; he did the best with what he could, and that&#8217;s admirable. What Alyn struggles with are his stiff, deliberate demeanor and forceful movements. Every single motion he makes is rigid and purposeful, so he looks more like a marionette puppet than a human being. Even his dialogue feels forced, as the inflection in his words comes off as extremely <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ed. It&#8217;s almost like he was so worried about playing Superman well that his performance suffered for it. That being said, he looked great in the suit and had a bewitching old-Hollywood voice that was perfect for the role. On top of all this, his iconic jump launch into flight was absolutely lovable!<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><br \/>\n<!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"brandon-routh---superman-returns\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Brandon_Routh_%E2%80%93_Superman_Returns\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">6 <\/span> Brandon Routh &#8211; Superman Returns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.6545908807%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/tonCoJYsl6Gfd4DkVxS1QvSUB3loiv.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/tonCoJYsl6Gfd4DkVxS1QvSUB3loiv.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/tonCoJYsl6Gfd4DkVxS1QvSUB3loiv.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/tonCoJYsl6Gfd4DkVxS1QvSUB3loiv.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1601\" height=\"843\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Brandon Routh in Superman Returns\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Warner Bros.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> In terms of action sequences, <strong>Brandon Routh<\/strong> is spot-on for his character in <strong><em>Superman Returns<\/em><\/strong>. Each scene of flying, fighting or falling is vivid and immersive, almost dreamlike in some cases. He&#8217;s imposing and certainly looks like Superman, but his attitude sets him apart from the others in a less flattering way. The issue is Routh&#8217;s attempts at making the character darker and edgier; these changes makes sense in theory (given the film&#8217;s context), but it comes off as brooding and moody most of the time. He&#8217;s less respectful than most other Supermen, and he invades Lois&#8217; privacy by investigating her desk and listening in on her home without her consent. His attitude leaves a lot to be desired, but he does do a few things well.

He&#8217;s smooth, charming and incredibly poised, but what he&#8217;s lacking is a connection with those around him\u2014this Superman comes off more like a &#8216;charming hero at a distance&#8217; rather than a man of the people.
