Brandon Routh is a criminally underrated Superman.
He reprised the role for the Arrowverse "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover. I believe he was the "Kingdom Come" Superman and was overly happy to wear the "S" again.
In that same crossover, Kevin Conroy made an appearance as Bruce Wayne of Earth 99. Burt Ward (Robin in the 1966 Batman) appeared as a citizen of Earth 66. Tom Ellis makes an appearance on Earth 666 as Lucifer. The entire crisis crossover is great.
@@dustinstorer3201the way Brandon was treated as Superman in that crossover was very poor.
@@Mr.ditkovich06 personally I loved his version. He showed a side of Superman that no one thought about. The side that knows he'll never be like the people he saves
Christopher Reeve just IS superman when I think of superman Christopher Reeve comes to mind immediately
Yeah.
Nahhhhh hell naaaaaah all of these actors look goofy as superman except one, Henry Cavil he IS the superman not freakin Christopher Reeves
@@Penxa.because Superman is a goofy character. What was so bad about Cavill’s Superman was how epic he was presented. Superman isn’t an epic character, he’s a charming sweetheart from Kansas who uses his powers to help those in need. Cavill’s Superman feels like he would want attention for saving people and he only cares about Lois.
imo Christopher Reeve has the perfect face for Supes
@Penxa. henry cavill is presented more as a god but reeve is more like the comics where he would just be a friendly guy that had the powers needed to help Christopher reeve IS superman caval is a ripoff
Tyler not being top 3 hurt so bad 😭
Haha dead superman, Henry ontop
@@Ben_l.wI'm sorry but you don't know what you're talkin about if you have ever seen Smallville than you would know that he is the best Superman
Lmao we have a problem. Cz no way Henry’s Supes is above Tyler’s within all categories of impersonating the character both. Clark and Supes. Since for Henry there was never a clear difference between his Clark and Superman. They both acted the same. Which explains a lot why his secret was found out so quickly.
He lacked those essential Hopeful and inspirational dialogues. But idk man Henry Cavill is mostly the best version when it comes to the vfx and action fight scenes.
Tyler is peak and I’m a Henry fan
Brandon Routh is SEVERLY underrated.
Yep just don’t get the hate
Because of the superman movie where he was in
@@AG-qp8pb not rating movies but the guys who played Superman ,movie wasn’t great but routhe portrayal of Christopher reeves Superman was spot on they just dropped the ball on the storyline
Routh's acting was great
I watched him play ray palmer and absolutely loved it
He would have been fine if they had made a new Superman movie rather than trying to tail off of Superman 1 and 2 from dick Donner.
1. Reeves (classic one)
2. Henry (close to my heart)
3. Tyler (just perfect)
Reeves? George Reeves wasn't that good.
Tyler Hoechlin is my favorite ❤
Yeah because ur a real Superman fan
I know I'm glad they finally did a Mexican cartels type Superman he really Nails the banda Macho techano look ....viva Mexico 🇲🇽
"Every Superman Ranked!" Names only 5
Hiw many live action superman were there?
@@RavenPendragon14Well, he skipped Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, and Dean Cain. More if you count the Superboy actors.
Tyler is probably my favorite. He just brings something to the role
He’s literally Clark Kent
Tyler is the most underrated
He Inspires Hope
Anyone who watches Superman & Lois
knows he's best Only those who haven't watched it preffer others Superman
Or they preffer Dark themed Superman
I was a Cavill fan and didn't liked Tyler's superman much. But now after watching the show, i believe he is the best one
If you love I'm that is you,
How can you forget dean Cain superman
Because he said it’s “his” list not yours 😂
@@TayOfficalllHe also said “EVERY SINGLE live action Superman”, Then left out three actors who played the character; Dean Cain, George Reeves, and Kirk Alyn(the first live action superman)
“HIS” list is incomplete. He forgot 3 people.
@@Aj_Cartier Are you stupid ? 😂 he’s ranking his top 5 live action played superman you can’t be this slow
pretty easily
He only sees what he knows about.
Either Brandon or Tyler are my favorite
George reeves has left the chat
I think he said he hated playing Superman
😂😂😂
That list is the most accurate I’ve seen. Christopher Reeves is the GOAT !!!!
1: Tyler
2: Henry Cavill
3: Christopher Reeves
4: Brandon Routh
5: Smallville
Christopher Reeves just understood the character of Superman and Clark Kent so well. He's on a league of his own as the character.
Christopher Reeve. Not Reeves. REAVE!!!!
I love how everyone forgets Dean Cain.
yes Christopher REEVE IS THE BEST SUPERMAN
Tyler hoechlin makes me finally enjoy a cw show
Dean Cain in the superman series, the adventures of lois and clark. Fantastic series
I know riiigghht
Me nd my mom just said that
bro said he ranked every single live action superman but has no idea what he's talking about
My favorite superman has to be Ben Afflec's superman.
You get a thumbs up just for the geek factor.
Tyler hoechlin has to be number one he’s perfect
My favorite Superman is Henry Cavill. There is no one better than Henry Cavill in the Superman role. He's the best Superman ever 😂❤
Tyler is written SOOOOO WELL
henry cavill should be way lower on this list. the only reason people like him is because he owns a gaming pc and got fired lmfao. before people found out he was a gamer, he was made fun of for his performance of superman in mos and bvs because he wasnt a good superman actor. he never managed to capture the character of superman well and instead portrayed a morally grey super alien who acted more like a god than a human. you could make the argument that it wasnt his fault, but the directors fault instead which is a fair argument to make. and now with the whole wb situation, people are pretending like cavill was a wayyyyyy better superman then he really was. tyler should definitely be above him on the list.
Tom Welling is my #1
Same I grew up watching Smallville he is the number one best Superman of all time
1st: Tom welling
2nd: Tyler Hoechlin
3rd: Henry Cavill
4th: Christopher Reeve
5th: Brandon
You left out Nicolas Cage
bruh 😭
Dean Cain superman
😂😢😢
NC is a joke for Superman !! Smh
Christopher Reeve *is* Superman, end of story!
1. Brendan Routh
2. Christopher Reeve
3. Henry cavill
4. Tom Welling
5. Tyler Hoechlin
Reeve was my Superman as a kid, and that will never change as an adult.
You're missing three Superman actors and two Superboy actors. Kirk Alyn played the character in two Columbia Pictures serials during the 1940s. (Think of it as two seasons of a television show.)
George Reeves was television's first Superman after first handling the role in a theatrical movie, later recut for the series.
Dean Cain took the role on tv in the 1990s, the first live-action portrayal after the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover and relaunch.
Each version has something different in the character portrayal and should be seen by fans.
1. Christopher Reeves
2. Tom Welling
3. Tyler Hoechlin
4. Brandon Routh (Watch Crisis on Infinite Earths. He is a great superman!)
5. Dean Cain
6. George Reeves
7. Kirk Alyn
8. Henry Cavil (just didn’t do it for me good actor but Superman isn’t depressing).
9. Nicolas Cage (not a lot of time with his character to judge).
I also have a feeling when David Corenswet’s Superman comes out this list will change.
Amazing list! People disrespect Brandon so much, he’s great as supes. I also 100% agree abt Henry I don’t understand why everyone thinks his Superman is so good he is nothing like superman. As you said though not a bad actor.
@@kingredz12 you only watched Snyder's cut if you think he is depressing
@@ThrowingRave the only version of Henry’s superman I remember not being depressing was Justice League (Joss Whedon cut). He was miserable and depressed every other time he was on scene.
I just can’t put Tom on he refused to put on the suit loved the show but yeah no
@@joeysantos3978 I understand why he didn’t put the suit on he didn’t actually ever play Superman just Clark Kent
This video forgot a few live action actors who played Superman, such as George Reeves and Dean Cain. Also, while Tom Weilling did play Clark Kent, he technically never played Superman, nor was he ever in the Superman suit. I also think that Tyler Hoechlin did a better job as Superman than Henry Cavill, mainly because Henry was never allowed to be Superman in any of Zack's films. The only time Henry Cavill was ever allowed to act like Superman was in the theatrical cut of justice league. I definitely agree that Christopher Reeve was, still is, and will always be the best live action Superman.
Tyler is my favourite, his Superman is a perfect blend of all the ones we've had so far.
I agree with your list Christopher Reeves superman is the best👍⚡
Tyler is like the 2nd best superman
You missed a live action version of Superman, Dean Cain from Lois and Clark.
Brandon Routh is so much better than Tyler. Hands down.
If anyone who saw Superman & Lois know how powerfull Tyler's superman is... He's manages his duty towards family and earth so well. He's an amazing superman, surely he's among my top 3 with Reeves and Henry. Perfect Son, perfect Husband and a perfect father all being a Superman.
Y’all Snyder fangirls are crazy, Tyler is way better than Henry
Looool, nice joke
@@donpeyote4411 it’s true lmao henry wasn’t a good Superman he just looked like him
@@hmetv8619cope harder lil boy
@@batofkrypton9765 💀
Honestly dude, keep spitting facts on these morons, I’m with you 100%
you could never go wrong with this list
My ranking:
5 - Tom Welling
4 - Brandon Routh
3 - Dean Cain
2 - Henry Cavill
1 - Christopher Reeves (and best Clark Kent)
I totally agree with his list. Especially second and first place with Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve
Basically a perfect list Brandon Routh and Tyler are interchangeable tho
Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill are the Tom Baker and David Tennant of Superman actors! 🦸♂️
Imagine doing a Super-Man movie back in 1978 and being the best Super-Man for like 50 years. Damn, i just realised....50 YEARS! Almost 50 years :)))
So it's like this...Henry best superman,Tom best Clark and Tyler is good at both
Technically, Tom welling didn't portray superman. He portrayed clark Kent BEFORE superman
@Xplosion2012 kinda did =/= did
Tyler > Henry
Not after that trash show of his, Superman on Supergirl is Truth Justice and the American Way, Superman on Superman & Lois refuses to say he’s an American and wants people to believe he might live in Korea (like Clark could blend in there lol)
Bro forgot the goat Nicolas cage
Cage never got beyond the costume fittings.
@@nick6var he’s still the best
Absolutely right! There will never be another Superman like Christopher Reeve.
Perfect list
I don’t have Henry cavils in my top 3 his version is very dark and depressing which is fine but for me that’s not who Superman should be it would be like making Batman hopeful and optimistic.
Chris Reeve is no doubt the GOAT. He looks like he's been ripped straight out of the comic book panels.
Christopher Reeve, Henry Cavill, Brandon Routh my top three Brandon’s performance is the sequel from Superman two and it’s so understated night. Absolutely love it. I noticed that Dean Cain did not make the cut, but I prefer him to the Superman and Lois
You forgot Dean Cain from Lois and clark the new adventures of superman
Brandon Superman supposed to be continuity of Reeves version he definitely top 3. CW Superman is severely underrated
All of them are elite
I just pointed this out about Christopher Reeves no actor before or after him can touch his role as Superman
Cavil didn't play superman. He was playing angsty superbly prime. His nemesis was Alexander Luthor. Not Lex, Alexander. Nothing will change my mind. Wasn't cavils fault it was shitty writing but that doesn't change the fact that he wasn't superman
Tyler is the perfect combination of reeves and cavil
That is my list of super man as well
'Wehll akshualleh Brandon Routh is vuh shaem supahmahn ahs reevs'
Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill are the actors I think when I'm thinking of Superman.
Tyler has really stepped up to the plate
6. George Reeve 7 Dean Cain 8 Tim Daly( Superman: The Animated Series)
Agree with you 100percent!
Henry Cavill is an absolutely great Superman casting but the writing let his iteration down soooo much that it's completely fair to not have him in top 3. The only time he actually got to play a decent Superman was in justice league but even then he didn't have enough screentime.
My personal ranking is:
1. Christopher Reeve
2. Tyler Hoechlin
3. Tom Welling
4. Henry Cavill
5. Brandon Routh
Christopher Reeves, Henry Cavill & Tom Welling.
What about Krik Alyn, and George Reeves
Legends, they’re in their own tier
i like Christopher Reeve the OG superman 1978-1987
Henry Caville tight at number 1 for me. The best Superman actor ever
100% Reeve is the only Superman...nobody can match him.
Christopher Reeve made us believe a man could fly
para mi tayler tiene la escencia de superman la esperanza y la alegria el poder y los momentos serios es perfecto como equilibra su vida con su familia define sus prioridades, descubre mas cosas de kripton, etc. es perfecto
You forgot Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, John Haymes Newton, Gerard Christopher, and Dean Cain.
Having cavil top 3 just criminal
Reeves #1 absolutely
Welling
Routh
Cavil
My list
6.George reeves
5.Brandon routh
4.Tom welling
3.Henry cavil
2.Tyler hecklin
1.Christopher reeves
Ah, yes. Tom "I'm gonna do 10 seasons but not want anyone to think of me as Superman so I'm not gonna wear the suit even though that's what everyone has been waiting for" Welling. The goat, alright.
Brandon Routh Kingdom Come Superman is epic and Dean Cain is definitely missing from this list
I have seen many lists ranking superman actors. Cain is rarely included. I am okay with that.
Brandon Routh Superman Returns is basically a homeage sequel to Reeves films
Agreed!! Christopher Reeve is the only real Superman !!
What about Dean Cain?
So much better than the Tyler WOKE superman.
@@eduardochavacano that's certainly one way to look at it.
Fair and acurate
Usually I disagree but actually completely agree, though Cavill and Reeves are super close
If I ever hear the word superman all I think of is Christopher reeve
I agree with this list ❤
1. Christopher Reeves
2. Tyler Hoechlin
3. Henry Cavil
Missing the originals from the black and white era
Brandon have a special place in my life, i still remember the first time watching it as kid, maybe not the best, but a special one.
Reeve is the classic one ,the foundation.
Henry is like the perfect one for this era.
The rest is cool but don't care sorry
I grew up with Christopher Reeve’s Superman but, in my own personal taste… My number one spot’s gotta be Henry Cavill. Everything about Cavill’s Superman is spectacular..
Loved when superman became the alpha werewolf , favorite moment by far
Henry Cavill and Christopher Revves contend for the title
I actually agree with his to the point I’m welling though is pretty damn good
I’ll say it Tyler already the GOAT with reeve in second
They gave Brandon routh eye contacts. Slap on a shaggy haircut and deep emo voice and give him dead parents and he’s Batman (Batman’s eyes are blue for anyone who doesn’t know)
Tyler is light years above Cavill. That's not even a question.
Totally agree
