![]() Affleck plays Reeves in this acclaimed neo-noir, so one could argue Affleck has played both Batman and Superman in his lifetime. In the fictional plot of 2006's Hollywoodland, a private investigation is launched surrounding Reeves' death. The actor mysteriously died in 1959 from a single gunshot wound. The few times he does open up a little, it's a sweet, endearing treat. He feels just a little standoffish at times, with Clark Kent's more serious, business-minded attitude constantly shining through. He's smooth, charming and incredibly poised, but what he's lacking is a connection with those around him-this Superman comes off more like a 'charming hero at a distance' rather than a man of the people. ![]() Film of this era was still adapting from the overacting needed to convey emotion on stage, and Reeves' interpretation feels wonderfully natural. The childs spacecraft lands at the farm of Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha (Diane Lane) Kent, who name him Clark and raise him as their own son. One of the classic Supermen, George Reeves did a lovely job capturing the suave, noir side of the people's hero in Adventures of Superman.
