Quick WOT update first. I finished Book 3 The Shadow Rising and started on Book 4 The Fires of Heaven after a weekend break. I’m working on a WOT related post where I interview my son about being a die-hard fan of the series but that’s on hold until I can pin him down to talk about it.
Now on to one of my personal fan obsessions. (Although not as obsessed as he is about WOT.)
I love this print and want it for Christmas!
When I first ran across it I didn’t see the Dean Cain Superman so I passed over it. Then I looked at it again on a bigger screen and fell in love. Zigzagging right to left from the top it has all the live action Supermen to date (at least that I know of):
- George Reeves (The Adventures of Superman TV series)
- Kirk Alyn (Superman movie serials)
- Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman TV series)
- Brandon Routh (complicated explanation to follow)
- Tyler Hoechlin (Supergirl TV series)
- Tom Welling (Smallville TV series)
- Henry Cavill (Man of Steel movie & sequels)
- Chris Reeves (Superman the Movie & sequels)
What confused me at first about the Brandon Routh image is that he played Superman in the Superman Returns movie but that’s not the costume in the print so I had no idea which Superman or actor that was supposed to be. I vaguely recognized the black background S-shield but it still took some digging to figure out exactly who it was supposed to be. Which is that currently Routh plays Atom on the DC Legends of Tomorrow TV series but will do a guest appearance as one of the Superman in the Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, specifically as their Kingdom Come Superman:
Oh, that guy. No wonder I didn’t recognize him immediately.
