From Christopher Reeve to Henry Cavill to David Corenswet (and every Man of Steel in between), we ranked all the Superman movies.

But the film was successful enough to lead to the "Adventures of Superman" television series, which was incredibly popular. Although Reeves is now overshadowed by the many other actors who have worn the trunks and cape, he’s responsible for defining much of the character’s on-screen presence that we now take for granted.

Superman, the first film from a new leadership team at Warner Bros.’ DC movie studio, opened at No. 1 in US and Canadian theaters, delivering $122 million in ticket sales.
