he killed himself just before starting the seventh season of Superman. It's rumoured that he was depressed due to being typecast as Superman and unable to do any other acting work.

The newspapers the next morning all announced the death of Superman.

I'm assuming this is what Superman's Dead is loosely based around anyways: the disillusionment of the death of a hero to millions of children, and all the symbolism it embodied.



and no, he's not related to Christopher Reeve (Reeves, not Reeve).

They're making a movie about the mystery surrounding the death of George Reeves. I've known about it for many years. It used to be called Truth, Justice and the American Way, but they renamed it to Hollywoodland. It's going to star Ben Affleck... It's a good chance to salvage whatever he has left of a career, I don't approve of the new name though, it doesn't tell the uninformed movie goer much.

Also, I saw Superman Returns. I liked it, especially the nostalgia with the original music and style of opening credits oh and the Brando voice clips. It wasn't as great as I'd hoped, Mr. Routh will never be Christopher Reeve and the digital alteration of his eye colour was slightly annoying and fake looking at times, but overall it was pretty good.

They gotta fix supes costume though, he needs the yellow S on the cape, it's too plain without it.

Also, part of my actual birth name is taken directly from Superman, I don't know how my mom knew I'd be a fan. Luck I guess.

Ch-ch-ch-check it out.

It's the Hollywoodland trailer. It'll be a good movie with a bad name.
