Like many a good hero, of course, the famed Last Son of Krypton has been brought to big-screen life on several occasions; most famously be Christopher Reeve in four movies, a brief one-and-done offering for Brandon Routh, and then in three-films-and-counting by Henry Cavill in the shared cinematic realm of Warner Brothers’ DC Extended Universe.
