Over the years there have been many incarnations of caped crusader Superman with a string of actors taking on the role on the big screen and on television.
Superman is arguably the most recognised character from the world of superhero characters, appearing in DC Comics in 1938, and has gone on to become a cultural icon.
So to celebrate the release of Smallville Season 7 on DVD FemaleFirst has taken a look at some of the actors that have donned the blue and red of this most famous character.
Christopher Reeve is the most famous actor to take on the character of Superman fronting all four of the big screen movies.
The first of these movies came in 1978 and the film is widely credited with establishing the superhero film genre that now dominates cinema.
A further three movies were made with film two finding just as much success as the first but it was film four that did not do well critically or commercially and the franchise would not be seen again on the big screen until 2006.
Like Reeve actor former model Brandon Routh was an unknown, beating off the likes of Brendan Fraser, Paul Walker, Josh Hartnett and Nicholas Cage, when he stepped into the role of Superman for Bryan Singer's Superman Returns in 2006.
