I think other people cried too, but for different reasons.

You know, I think Christopher Reeve was a great Clark Kent, but his Superman just didn't cut it for me. I wouldn't say it was a lack of gravitas on his part, but a lack of screen presence. He just didn't cut the figure he should have.

Really? I got the opposite impression! I found him to be absolutely perfect as Superman It was his Clark Kent that made me wince.


course that's today. Back when i first saw it i just sat thru the Clark Kent parts to get to see Superman (hey i was 7 when the movie first came out!)


Now as to Hal, I'm sure Reynolds will do fine with what's there. He has done serious roles. that said GL is not a character I attribute a great deal of Gravitas to.
Martian Manhunter? sure
Batman? absolutely!
The Spectre? OH HELL YEAH!!!
but GL has always been one of the lighter-hearted characters. he's had serious runs yeah hard traveling heroes, his whole tragic loss of his father,and yes his long stint as Parallax/Spectre but even these are blips on the radar of a largely cheerful character.
I do0n't expect this to be a farce (*COUGH*GreenHornet!*COUGH*)!mind you. but at the same time, this should not be "The English Patient" either
