I disagree, Reeve's was anything buy philanthropic. All of his so called acts of kindness were selfish. He went to Chile when their dictator threatened to execute actors (you know, Reeve's kind). He helped establish a coalition to teach actors how to be liberals, again, actors, you see a pattern here? And finally, only AFTER he was paralyzed he decided to fight and promote for awareness toward disabilities or persons with disabilities.. dude was a simple actor behaving out of his own selfishness, and that is putting it politely.. that being said, he was an amazing Superman in the first two films, just don't confuse him for being anybody heroic in his real life.

If they used the Death of Superman story for Superman V, they could have recast Reeve to pass the torch when he comes back to life. Maybe saying he is younger when he came back. Another mistake was Nuclear Man should have been called Bizzaro the whole time in part IV.

It's actually sad to know that Superman IV: The Quest For Peace had the best of intentions to be a good movie and yet it let people down. I'll bet that Superman V would have been a big box office success that focuses on the Superman VS. Brainiac arc if it were made back then, but since it got cancelled and never had the green light to be brought to the big screen, we never got to see what could have happened. Though the script for Superman Reborn is actually interesting but at the same time, most entertaining since it seems to give out that sense of how the movie would have been the best of intentions. Aside from that, interesting video. 💙

I remember reading about the upcoming movie the death of Superman shortly after the comic came out. It was so sad because shortly after the accident happened. That's when we all knew Superman wouldn't be a thing anymore. What's wild is that I never heard about the Burton movie until a few years back, I'm sure it was in the news too, everything was always, but that particular project I just missed. Back in those days you had to watch the news from different networks and read lots of magazines, talk on the BBs to get all the info you can and of course talk amongst friends.

It's telling that the 45 yr old version of this character is the most beloved and accepted all these yrs.later. Simply its because Reeve, Donner, and Tom Mankiewicz ( completely forgotten and under appreciated) understood tge most basic concept of Superman. He's a hero. Who always tries to do the right thing. Donner's and Mankiewicz 's creativity and writing captured the essence of the Silver Aged Superman to perfection. They understood who and what Superman is. And Reeve's ability to easily assimilate the character of Superman and Clark Kent as well at the same time was pure gold. A fantastic story , a brilliant director and writer, An incredible leading man, a cast of iconic right off the comics page supporting actors. A Soundtrack in top 5 of all time. I truly feel bad for any younger generation fan who was not able to experience this movie when it first came out ( I was 6). But to go through that time , and see that movie, well before CGI, and the internet, and just old school movie magic can't be explained. Nor ever duplicated.

This actually sounds like it would've been a pretty good movie. Brainiac really should've been in Superman 3. How has he not been in a Superman movie yet. Here's hoping Superman Legacy has him.

A couple of facts I would argue are incorrect. What you have to remember is that the Salkinds are independent producers, in the case of Santa Claus The Movie, they didn't lose money on that film as the film was pre-sold to distributors and they made all their money back but it was the distributors who lost cash in some territories. In the UK Santa Claus did very well however. As the Salkinds lost a lot of money on Christopher Columbus (Ilya and his father fell out big time) they were in a tight spot and sold the Superman rights to Jon Peters not Warner Bros (explained in the Superman Lives documentary). Im not sure if Peters still owns the right as his name is not attached to Superman Legacy but he was an executive producer on Superman Returns and Man of Steel. It would take to the mid 2000s for Warners to revolve all the ownership rights with the Salkinds as Superman 1-3, Supergirl and the Superboy TV Show were in the hands of other distributors worldwide. A good example of this is when the first DVDs arrived of Superman 1-4, in the states they got a boxset with all the films but Internationally Warner's could only release Superman 1 & 2 as a set as the ownership rights hadn't been resolved. But in all you've done some good work here and visualised a lot of the material for Superman Reborn and what it could've been.

That Superman 5 looks great

This is crazy. I wonder if Superman 5 really could have happened. Again, great video 😎

As a little sidenote: i like that Warner Bros let Richard Donner have Sloth rip open his top to reveal he's wearing a Superman T-Shirt and have John Williams theme play over that in The Goonies. It feels like WB allowing Donner to be reacquainted with the franchise he made happen and be so beloved after his firing.

I was laughing in joy at the non Superman scenes you were using😁

Oh buddy this is awesome.

Superman 4 was the first superman movie I ever saw and unlike other superhero movies from my childhood, it holds up on rewatch. It’s not as good as the first but I still think it’s a really solid movie. I love Reeve in the role and would have been happy to see him wear the cape again in a fifth movie

Great video as always. Good to have you back. I don’t man. Movie sounds a bit rough to me

This brought a tear to my eye...

A well researched video

I'm convinced the only thing that could've saved the Reeves Superman movies is if Donner was never booted from the series

I’m convinced that Donner and Mankiewicz’s words on doing their own third and fourth films were just wishful thinking in their part, seeing where the franchise eventually ended up. In the moment, I believe they just wanted to have a solid set of two films that would allow them to do other non-Superman movies.

1st been waiting on this

Casting C R as Superman was the same sort of genius as casting RDJ as Iron man. An entire DCU of the 80's based on CR Superman was the real missed opportunity imo.

Superman 3 is such a quotable movie Pryor crushed it

You should make a what could have been on the R Rated Scooby doo movie. Great video btw

A lot of cool information here, and it's interesting to see how much the Superman Lives project borrowed from this. I suspect it would have suffered the same budgetary issues as Lives, even removing the Salkind issues from the equation. But it sounds very ambitious and I'm sure a smart team and another script pass would have resulted in a great movie.

Agreed! It was definitely very ambitious for the time, but if they scaled it down a bit it could've been a great film
