Christopher Reeve starred as Superman in four classic DC movies, and his iteration of Clark Kent inhabits multiple branching timelines. Richard Donner’s 1978 film Superman was not the first superhero movie but it was the first major blockbuster in the genre. The film’s overwhelming success is owed to numerous factors, with one being Donner’s insistence on respecting the source material and treating the film as an earnest epic rather than a self-parody. Naturally, 1978’s Superman led to numerous sequels, spin-off properties, and the emergence of the superhero movie genre, thanks to similar films like 1989’s Batman and 2002’s Spider-Man.
