“那是只鸟？
那是飞机？
那是——超人！”
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Superman!
孩童时代的我们都有喜欢的英雄人物，孙悟空、哪吒、奥特曼、机器猫，“英雄人物”式的崇拜情结始终存在。
中国有武侠，美国有超级英雄，都寄托了人们“出世”的精神家园。
在美国评出的超级英雄Top100中，超人常年位列前三。1938年6月，超人首次亮相在《动作漫画》的创刊号上，身穿蓝色紧身衣、披着红披风，胸前是盾形的S标记。超人代表着大众对男性形象的期待，他力大无穷，可以将一辆汽车举过头顶，飞驰在天空中。从此之后的六七十年间，Superman逐渐从漫画人物变成了一个文化符号，正如台词所说——“为了真理、正义和美国道路，进行着无尽的战斗”。
时值上世纪三十年代，美国处于经济大萧条时期，犯罪率也高居不下。经济萧条，人们更加需要精神的支持，从而寄托自己心里的安慰。超人的文化符号符合了当时的社会背景。
超人的凡人形象为克拉克·肯特，是大都会《星球日报》的记者。这种“凡人化”的角色限定，更贴近大众。
超人的凡人形象为克拉克•肯特，是大都会《星球日报》的记者The character of Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1933 before being sold to DC Comics. During the Great Depression in 1930s, the United States had a high crime rate. People were greatly impacted by issues associated with the Great Depression and were desperate to find a spiritual idol. Superman filled that gap. His slogan "Truth, justice and the American way" has become more than just a sentence – it defines masculinity at that time.
Superman was an iconic figure because he stood for all of America’s future hopes. Superman was altruistic. The emergence of economic and political figures like Superman can solve many problems. This is how Superman comics got popular during those times.
Superman's undercover alter ego is Clark Kent, a reporter for the Metropolis Daily. This character is closer to the ordinary people who can pin their hopes on Superman's iconic figure.
因为超人漫画的成功，超人主题电影也被搬上大银幕，其中最为经典的一个版本就是克里斯托弗•里夫主演的《超人》系列。1978至1987年，他主演了四部《超人》，由此赢得了英国学院最具潜质新人奖。
Christopher Reeve (September 25, 1952 – October 10, 2004) was an American actor, writer and director. He was best known for playing DC Comic's superhero Superman (1978), for which he won a BAFTA Award.
He received a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance in the television remake of Rear Window (1998).
里夫的外貌与超人的形象是高度重合的，满足了漫画迷们的想象。影评人评论他为，“既有传承欧洲温文尔雅的绅士风度，又有美国本土的热情开朗和进取精神。”
Reeve's appearance and superman's image were highly related, which satisfied the imagination of comic fans. He not only inherited the gentle demeanor from Europe, but also had a warm, cheerful and optimistic spirit from America.

1995年，里夫在一次赛马中意外摔伤了颈椎，导致了全身瘫痪。这给里夫的演艺事业产生了致命一击，但他本人却没有抱怨和放弃生活，依然坚持出书以及执导电影。1997年执导了电影《黄昏时刻》。
On May 27, 1995, Reeve was left quadriplegic after falling from a horse during an equestrian competition in Culpeper, Virginia. He used a wheelchair and a portable ventilator for the rest of his life. But he never gave up his passions; he kept on writing and directing movies. He directed the movie "In the Gloaming" in 1997. 一个演员，应当不被同类型电影所拘束，应该永远不止步于自我探索求知的道路上，尝试不同剧本，拓宽戏路。1998年，瘫痪后的克里斯托弗•里夫重返银幕，参演了《后窗》。
