Until this point comic book franchises had been laughable, which is unsurprising since Adam West’s Batman offered the prevailing tone of comic characters.

But Christopher Reeve’s debut as Superman was stunning to say the least, and it set the tone for all future superhero movies. How different it could have been had Sly Stallone got his way and been cast.
