Kirk Alyn was the only actor that looked like Superman. Muscular and the spit curl..He was offered the role but after two Superman serials , he turned the TV series down .Reeves was allergic to the padding in the costume. He spent less than 30 minutes a day wearing it. He was tall but not muscular. He was a passable Clark Kent but he looked nothing like Superman. Stunt doubles did all the hard work..They spent 12 hours a day in the costume.. Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh were muscular and kept the spit curl.. The special effects on the TV series were pathetic..I watched a few episodes but was not impressed..

What a great smile he had. Can you imagine what George would have looked like at the end of the Christopher Reeve movies instead of Chris ? It would have been great fun to see him do a full length movie in color. George Reeves is one of those people I wish I could have met. And a recent author said that both he and Kirk Alyn were not good actors which is an insult to their memories.

Jack R. Glass used mattes and camera motion to acheive the photographic effects. When Thol Simonson took over in the 3rd season, he used process photography (George Reeves laying in front of a screen showing rear-projected background images) and made a library of flying shots to avoid shooting new flying shots as much as possible.

This is noteworthy; Superman was warned by the scientist that the meteor/object threatening Metropolis/earth could contain kryptonite, or could pose some other threat to him. Superman's reply: "Well. that's a chance I'll just have to take." This is the definition of a REAL hero; somebody who is willing to risk his life for the safety of others. But this is why he's Superman. "No one has greater love than this, that someone should surrender his life in behalf of his friends." JOHN 15:13.
