[QUOTE=Buried Alien;4913311]Christopher Reeve's movie Superman certainly did not portray the Superman featured in 1978's DC Comics, but it might be said that Reeve's portrayal would influence how Superman would be portrayed in the comics during the 1980s, especially after COIE. :)

TBH, I think the Reeve films have been damaging to the comic character in the long run. It’s like if Batman never escaped the shadow of Adam West. George Reeves is a much better representation of “my” Superman.
The fellow who played Luthor in the “Atom Man Vs. Superman” serial, Lyle Talbot, is way underrated. People don’t realize how much influence he had on comic Luthor. Appearance-wise, he’s perfect.

Both Reeves and Talbot would be my picks for the closest representations to their (then) comic-book contemporaries within the Superman universe, IMO.
