Christopher Reeve’s Children Never Watched That ‘Flash’ CGI Cameo

[@charlenerathgeb8217]

Fabulous interviewer. He asked really important questions, didn’t interrupt the subjects. Rare these days.

[@russellkellett9535]

There will never be a better Superman then Christopher Reeve never

[@rollingthunder8223]

And clark Kent

[@JR-ju3kj]

Agreed. I haven't seen a better one yet-no do I ever expect, to There have been other actors who I liked as Superman( like Dean Cain, Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill) and I do look forward to seeing David Corenswet as the new Superman but I also don't think that there will ever be a better Superman than Christopher Reeve!

[@neilmurray6943]

Christopher was a gift to this world from God. He was the best of America in every way. Every time I see Will on ABC I tear up. He is America’s kid much as JFK Jr. was. A much loved family.

[@bladecastlevania3653]

Exactly!👌

[@orlandobabe]

And that’s a fact

[@vp4744]

My fav anecdote was when Reeve was having coffee near Central Park. He saw a guy steal his bicycle. Reeve chased him on foot. The thief fell in a gutter, cowered down, looked up and blurted, "Oh no! Superman"

[@tlynn7043]

😂

[@angelacarbon4010]

What happened after? What was Reeve's reaction? Did Reeve say anything to him?

[@gabifgt]

no but can you imagine being chased by THE superman?! lol

I saw Christopher Reeve on the subway when he was in a Broadway show. This was soon after Superman. I looked up from my knitting and we met eyes. He knew I recognized him and quickly looked away. Needless to say I didn’t betray him… he rode to his destination as any other rider.

[@juanchocorleone]

That's a wholesome anecdote. Thank you.

[@cathallooby8998]

I can't wait to see this documentary. Christopher Reeve is one of my childhood heroes.

[@le_th_]

Christopher Reeve has to be one of the most polite, kind celebrities I've ever encountered (living in Manhattan & LA). Last time I saw him was on a flight from JFK-LAX (or vice versa? it's been so long) and he was taking his riding boots out of the overhead bin as he was deplaning. I don't give a crap about celebrity or fame. I care about empathy, human decency, and kindness and that's why Christopher Reeve stands out in my mind. He didn't deserve that fate and people like Harvey Weinstein were still walking around Hollywood destroying women's lives. smh Makes you question life sometimes.

[@KadeBronson]

Donald Trump is one of the most kind and polite celebrities I have ever met.

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Christopher Reeve will always be, The "Superman" literally and figuratively in the character he played in the movies. His humanity is what still resonates with me. Grateful for his example, he was a wonderful guy, period!

[@TerryMarsh2024]

People forget that Christopher Reeve made so many great movies apart from Superman. Somewhere in Time Deathtrap Street Smart The Bostonians Village of the Dammed Remains of the Day Plus TV movies he made Bump in the Night Above Suspicion Nightmare in the Daylight Death Dreams Mortal Sins The Rose and the Jackal Black Fox In The Gloaming (Directed by Christopher Reeve)

[@frankcross6958]

dont forget remains of the day

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

Somewhere in Time is one of his best too. Deathtrap is just so good. A real gem.

[@TerryMarsh2024]

@OneAndOnlyMe It was only a few months back that I watched Somewhere in Time. The only reason I watched it was because of TikToc, I was seeing clips all over TikTok. So I bought a digital copy of the movie. I loved the movie so much that I went and bought a physical copy.

[@shepardbook]

Don’t forget “In The Gloaming.” Granted, he wasn’t in the movie, but he did direct it. While in that wheelchair. And it was most impressive.

[@jamievanskiver8380]

Somewhere in time is still one of my favorites!

[@enriquebruzual1702]

The way he played Clark was flawless, authentic, and vulnerable. We all think it is about Superman, but what makes Superman real is the contrast between the two roles, and Reeves nailed it.

[@babyboy1971]

THIS

[@russellkellett9535]

He deserves a academy award for that performance

[@Skyebright1]

The clip of him straightening up was great showing the physical contrast ;)

[@50hellkat2]

Christopher Reeve was such a kind person and his wife and children were so strong through their father's spinal cord injury and Christopher's coping with it all was inspirational to everyone and especially other people who cope with spinal cord injury. I want to see this film. I hope that some day they will have a cure and I am sure strides have been made.

[@PaulaDarlington]

I had the fortune of meeting Christopher and Dana at Dana’s 20th high school reunion in White Plains. I was able to talk to him for a bit. He was so optimistic about a cure, described trials that were being done and he was happy to be there for his wife at her reunion. I left the event feeling incredibly hopeful. I was crushed when his vision and the cure he needed was not realized during his lifetime. I’m looking forward to seeing this documentary. ❤

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

Will Reeve could be Superman. He really could.

[@SBatts-rd9kg]

Agreed! He's got the journalism part of Clark Kent down and looks very much like his father. If he toned up a bit the same way Chris did back in the 70's he'd be perfect.

[@sjg5994]

I loved Christopher Reeve as Superman. Made me really sad as a kid seeing what happened to him. He was my Superman ❤ This is really lovely to see his children involved in this and i can't wait to watch it. Will is a handsome guy 😍

[@EricaGamet]

He was hilarious in "Noises Off." And in "Deathtrap" he is devilishly good... one of my favorite movies. To me, he IS Superman because I was like 10 when it came out... but I've only re-watched it a handful of times. Maybe time for a watch.

[@AroundTampaBay]

i love the fact that he knew what happen to him was a freak accident and he never went after horses or any animal. And he was a in the front lines of helping other disabled and others who had horse accidents. And his sons look just like him even the one almost looks spot on

[@Skyebright1]

Yeah the horse wasn’t at fault, he was a good rider and loved horses

[@russellkellett9535]

Christopher Reeve deserves a academy award for his performance as Clark Kent/superman made me believe as they were both fantastic performances

[@Kari2025]

Will is just straight up a copy + paste of his Dad.

[@MatchesMalone1183]

They seem remarkably well adjusted, at least from what you can judge in a short interview, given the trauma they must have went through in their childhood's.

[@RossiSenn]

What lovely kids. Will in particular. He lost both his parents by the time he was 13 but had been very close to his siblings. He was also cared for by another family that promised Dana they would love and bring him up.

Will is Christophers twin. Happy to see they shared their Father’s story. 🙏🏼♥️✨

Their dad (and mum/stepmum) would be so fucking proud of them and the people they’ve become and what they do. Also his son Will looks so much like his dad it’s pretty cool, they all have their dad’s charm too.

[@landreaulover]

Reeve and Helen Slater were so well cast as Superman and Supergirl -- and brought tremendous charm to their respective roles. It's a shame that we never saw a Superman & Supergirl movie, but it was great to see those characters together in the Flash.

[@conniecrawford5231]

We saw the original Superman movie in a huge theater on its opening day. The audience was stoked and stood to cheer when the movie ended! That was so thrilling!

You know the incredible people and parents both Christopher and Dana Reeve were by their children. Such classy, empathetic, compassionate and intelligent people. Their parents raised them well. Will is the spitting image of his dad. While it's unfortunate that both of those extraordinary people are no longer with us, it's a blessing to the world that they left a piece of themselves that lives on through their children and their foundation.

[@psytrancedj]

My deepest gratitude to Reeve's children for putting their efforts and faith into this project. Christopher Reeve's portrayal of the Man of Steel made such a huge impact on me as a child that I can say, without pretense, Superman became the North Star of my moral compass. I'm very much looking forward to seeing this documentary.

[@mailinglist2451]

Jeesh. All these comments comparing Will’s physical appearance to his father’s. Forget all that. Will probably gets that all the time. What I’m seeing in the three adult children is that they’re all very articulate - just like their father. Chris Reeve was also an emotionally intelligent man.

[@hyhy2200]

[@judykinsman3258]

It’s always the right time to share the story of a healthy, kind & loving family. Thank you kids for sharing your family’s story.

[@TrumbullComic]

The thing that sucked about the CGI cameo in The Flash (outside of them doing it without the family's permission - really sleazy of WB and the filmmakers) is that it missed the essential quality of Reeve's Superman: He was always emoting. Joy, fear, worry, sadness, despair, concern... You always knew what Reeve's Superman was thinking because you could read it on his face. The Superman we see in The Flash is just a stone-faced simulacrum that's like NO performance Reeve ever gave.

[@peterang6912]

Like the movie specialy the moment Reeve came on but i fall of my chair laughing when they show Nicolas Cage as superman...

[@Skyebright1]

Without their permission is really skeezy, Disney at least asked the families permission before using people’s images in Star Wars

[@risk5riskmks93]

Massive respect for using the word “simulacrum.” Exactly.

[@radicalreactions1633]

Well, We Blow are nothing if not consistent about how they treat EVERYTHING Superman related. They honestly thought that desperately sticking Chris in there somewhere, was going to get them more moviegoers. The CG Chris in the Flash should probably have just been the crap that Cavill played, he never has any emotions.

[@radicalreactions1633]

The movie was trash.@@peterang6912

My fave non-Superman film of his is " Somewhere in Time". A female friend of mine told me once she didn't like sci-fi, so I pointed her to that movie. She loved it. She cried so much, and she realised that SF isn't just robots and lazer guns.
