1:11 "A friend." That's it. That's Superman. It really is that simple. He's not just some alien with extraordinary powers. He's certainly not a cynic, he's just... a friend. Someone who will help you cross the street, cheer on for your success, and when you need someone to vent to, he'll be happy to lend his support.

Chris knew that even though Superman is a fictional character, he represents Aspirations and Action to Serve & Help as many and All People in the World.

This is why he's the best Superman. He understood the character more than any other actor who wore the cape after him. Even today's comics sometimes miss the point, which is sad.

He just got it so well.
