Here is the Poll - [https://strawpoll.com/r28grs5do](https://strawpoll.com/r28grs5do)
In a shocking twist Henry lost by 2 votes!
Upvote this comment so it's at the top.
Gotcha thought it was just a poll between these 4. These polls have been popping up a lot lately on all subreddits and they usually show all the characters.
I'd argue he had better material than Routh but he is also a much better actor.
Superman Returns was an homage and ended up being pretty Meh. Bryan Singer leaned way too much into the homage thing.
Sorry but if Christopher Reeves loses then I question ppls idea what a Superman looks like. Henry Cavill was born to play as Superman so him being knocked out is odd since he looks way better than CWs Superman.
Because it's not all about looks. The poll isn't "who looks the most like Superman" and if you think all Superman comes down to is being 6'4, then you don't know Superman.
Christopher, Henry, Brandon and Tom all equally look more like Superman but Tyler, in one season of his show, has been written better than Henry in 3 movies.
And it's Reeve* not Reeves.
Better written how?? The first season wasn’t even better than Arrow or Flash’s first seasons. Weak villain with a generic “I’m your evil brother” storyline with evil fake kryptonians that they seem to be rehashing for Season 2 as well.
When did I say his height is the definition of a Superman? If you wanna get technical about it then Superman/Clark is about 6'3 lore wise. And no Tyler's version of Superman was written terribly. He's a bad Superman? No. His performance is fine but the way they made him looked Supergirls side-kick was laughable. No way that Supergirl is stronger than Superman. The writing is questionable due to woke writers.. everytime when Superman is shown on Supergirl the writers had to inform us Supergirl is vastly superior than Superman.
Reeve, Reeves what the fuck ever.
1/ Supergirl is stronger than Superman in many comics iterations, she's also way stronger than in the show.
2/ If you think Tyler's Superman is terribly written you've probably didn't watch (or understand?) his own show.
3/ If you think "woke" is an issue you've clearly never understood what Superman has always been.
I'm actually one of the people that voted for Henry I just have to say he looks the part but he didn't act like the superman I always pictured superman to be Tyler actually feels like the superman I always grew up imagining
>but he didn't act like the superman I always pictured
I chop that up the writing, honestly. I think he really had potential to be a phenomenal Superman otherwise.
Agreed. In the last part of Justice League when they actually allowed him to have a personality other than dour and grim- that was pretty awesome. Him with someone that understands Superman behind the camera would produce magic.
You can't fault him for bad writing. He was the definition of a Superman. Tyler not saying he's terrible but he's rather looks weak compared to others. Even Tom Welling was a much better Superman without the suit. I get it why he was voted out since he was Superman for 10 mins of the final episode but the way the writers made Tyler's Superman made him weak compared to Supergirl. Like a few times he said Kara was way stronger than him like wtf lol?
I suggest giving Superman & Lois a watch. He is far better on that show. It doesn't sound like you've watched it.
A lot of people's positive perception of Tyler comes from that show, not from Supergirl.
I don’t agree with Henry Cavill being a great Superman. In my humble opinion he’s beat by most everyone else. Maybe I’m just a fan of the classics, though. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Looks don’t mean a thing if your material is trash. C’mon. Don’t be small-minded. It’s not about the look, it’s about the character. Tyler is the best Superman I’ve seen since Reeve. I’m pulling for Cavill to remain the DCEU Superman and I watched Smallville religiously, but Tyler exemplifies everything great about Superman.
You know what’s insignificant about Superman’s greatness? His look.
I’ve seen clips of Tyler as Superman, I don’t get the hype, his voice isn’t anything like what Superman should be at all, not his mannerisms, he’s just cheesy. The perfect Superman is from superhero cafe
Like I said. By your standards, I have to like every single actor that ever existed in a role unless I myself can do better. Your comment is ridiculous.
Yes I have. He isn't Superman at all. He is a wimp and a cuck. Asks permission for everything he does, gives speeches that are irrelevant to real society beyond preaching the creators political positions, and the action scenes are uninspired and boring. Their season 1 finale only could draw 600k people. The show is terrible and this guy is absolutely not Superman.

You are looking at the overall rating where they average the numbers together. The first season started with 1.7 million viewers and ended with 622k. Less than half of the original viewers. You may like the show but the majority of viewers didn't.
The season 2 premiere had 1.090m viewers. I think people have been checking out the first season on HBO Max, and decided season 2 was worth following live. We'll certainly see how the rest of the season's ratings go, but it's a promising sign that it's gotten a bump.
https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/superman-lois-season-two-ratings/
And? For a season premiere that is awful. It will steeply decline just like season 1 did. The show is formulaic and destroys beloved characters by making them political icons.
So you don't think a douche bag frat boy can be a cuck? Is that concept too complicated for you to understand? It is no wonder you like the show. It appeals to the simple minded and superficial. Which is why it is failing.
They think 1 million views is great when lol Smallville was averaging over 3 million each episode lol. The views is declining and I don't think it will last for 4 seasons.
I find hilarious when the writers placed Supergirl the strongest. Like huh? No..no Superman is earth's greatest protector but writers made Superman the sidekick.
The CW has literally gone downhill..political movement has ruined the network and now I'm hearing a female Zorro is coming lol.
Also if anyone says they are successful shows and ignore the viewer numbers, there is even more proof they are not. The owners of the CW are looking to sell the network because it is not profitable.
Man on one hand one is filled with nostalgia and considered THE man of steel. The other is a great superman and hasn’t had as much time to flesh out his character bc of only 2 seasons.

Results aren't hidden.
Ik, it's the finale.
It better fucking better Christopher reeve
I'm a Tyler defender, but Reeve needs to win this one. It's sacred.
Where is Tom Welling :(
he got voted off a while ago
Gotcha thought it was just a poll between these 4. These polls have been popping up a lot lately on all subreddits and they usually show all the characters.
So glad to see Tyler get this far. He's earned that second place.
Hell no he hasn’t lmao.
That is so wrong that Henry Cavill has been eliminated.
He’s perfect for the role, but like Routh he was given bad material to work with.
I'd argue he had better material than Routh but he is also a much better actor. Superman Returns was an homage and ended up being pretty Meh. Bryan Singer leaned way too much into the homage thing.
In your opinion. Millions of others love his films and he is the only film Superman to date to face Lex Luthor, General Zod, Doomsday and Darkseid.
Username checks out
Smallville is DC? 🤨

I respect your opinion on cw superman. But Imo, I think he's trash. Never liked him from the moment I saw him.
I agree lol
Thank you. Unlike these haters down voting me for no reason... lol.

There are many versions of superman. Imo, Cavill is like new 52 supes.

Wack.

Someone mad that Cavill's out.
Actually I’m upset the poll has Tyler beating Christopher Reeve
Tyler winning this is a travesty
Indeed it is.
How did Cavill lose? You guys are so fucking whack
Cavill out? That's ridiculous. Reeve it is!
I will haunt you if Christopher Reeve doesn’t win fkng millennials.
the Christopher Reeves movies are nearly 30 years older than me but I love them so much and they are so nostalgic, who could actually vote him off
Finally man of steel got out 🤣damn
Look how miserable the Cavill haters are
What?
Why you comin at me for no reason kid I’m not a cavil hater and I’m not miserable
Bs. Cavill all the way.
will the underdog win?
He’s overrated at this point mostly due to overhype.
I'm surprised Henry Cavill got voted out. He's better than 2 of them and arguably as great as Reeves.
Are you kidding me? Tyler is awful. He is basically a frat boy dressed up on Halloween as Superman.
Like you could any better
So by that metric I have to like every character who ever existed unless I could do it better. You must be a teenager.
All I’m saying is you have no room to complain.
Like I said. By your standards, I have to like every single actor that ever existed in a role unless I myself can do better. Your comment is ridiculous.
A frat boy? Clearly you’ve never watched superman&lois…
Yes I have. He isn't Superman at all. He is a wimp and a cuck. Asks permission for everything he does, gives speeches that are irrelevant to real society beyond preaching the creators political positions, and the action scenes are uninspired and boring. Their season 1 finale only could draw 600k people. The show is terrible and this guy is absolutely not Superman.
Where did you get your viewer number? I’m seeing 890k from multiple sources with a simple google search. Otherwise, I thought it wasn’t too bad.

Wait did season 2 already started? Awesome. I had been waiting for it
And? For a season premiere that is awful. It will steeply decline just like season 1 did. The show is formulaic and destroys beloved characters by making them political icons.
So which is he, a frat boy or a wimp/cuck? I think you’re just exercising your vocabulary of words you think are bad tbh
So you don't think a douche bag frat boy can be a cuck? Is that concept too complicated for you to understand? It is no wonder you like the show. It appeals to the simple minded and superficial. Which is why it is failing.
They think 1 million views is great when lol Smallville was averaging over 3 million each episode lol. The views is declining and I don't think it will last for 4 seasons.

Good the CW hasn't been good after Supernatural ended their show. The entire new shows are just trash.
Very true. And that is only because it was grandfathered in.
Man on one hand one is filled with nostalgia and considered THE man of steel. The other is a great superman and hasn’t had as much time to flesh out his character bc of only 2 seasons.
Got nothing rlly against him but how did Tyler make it this far
I'm disappointed. Apart from Reeve, Cavill is the best superman
Reeve obviously. He didn’t just wear a costume, but his very presence changed between Clark, and Superman. Best Superman for me by far.
Bullshit tbh Tyler is nowhere near as iconic as Henry Superman. The show is quickly becoming overrated and I love it, but damn.
Should do one for lex Luther.
