There are few characters in all of fiction, let alone superhero media, who are as recognizable and beloved as Superman. Arguably the first western character to fully embody the archetype we think of as a "superhero" to begin with, Superman has been a part of pop culture since 1938. And for the last 46 years, Superman has often been associated in the minds of many fans with actor Christopher Reeve, who portrayed the Man of Steel in his first full length feature film, along with three sequels.
Now, Reeve is being honored in a documentary titled Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story that explores his life both before and after the fateful accident that left him paralyzed, paying special attention to his partnership with his wife and caregiver Dana Reeve as well as his lasting legacy as the Man of Steel.
