The 2007 movie 'Hollywoodland' deals with the mysteries of Mr.Reeves death.I think it's an excellent movie.
The producers of the old George Reeves Superman tv show must have forecasted the future because the color films of the later seasons is the primary reason that old tv show is still popular today.
Yes,Brian Singer wrecked the Superman franchise with that lousy 2006 movie.I saw it on a Saturday the week it was released.The threater i saw the movie in was showing it on 3 different screens that afternoon.When i walked in,sat down,and counted only 10-12 people at the early afternoon showing i was attending,i knew then and there before the movie even began to play that it was doomed.It didn't take long(only about 3 days) for word of mouth to spread about what a lousy movie it was.
Getting beat up by ordinary thugs,using his x-ray vision to be a cross between a prowler and a peeping tom to spy on Lois,and pouting about lossing her,and the super-kid is nothing like the macho,responsible,man-like Superman i grew up reading about in the comic books.
