Who do you picture in your head when you think "Superman"?
I think you could all guess who mine is

The Loeb/McGuinness version is my all-time favorite

"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
Currently reading the post-Crisis era, and I’m almost at the end of Byrne’s run. It’s really good. There are some missteps (like the Fine version of Brainiac), but otherwise I’m really loving it. It’s got a kinda raw, kinetic energy going on.
The gestalt version that exists only in my head
If that's not allowed, then Grant Morrison's version
I think this is true of a lot of fans. It's certainly true for me.
My favorite Lois and Metropolis are from the 90s. My favorite Luthor and Jimmy are from the '60s. My favorite Superman and Clark are from the New 52, which is already kiiind of a mix of the early Golden Age and late Silver Age? And the list goes on. There's no singular unified version of the character and his whole world that's just the ideal for me. Just variations on a theme where I like the execution more or less across 80 and counting years of media.
And I think that's kinda neat.
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."

No real surprise there but Quietly is definitely the guy who defines Superman and his world in my mind. If I had to pick a bunch of real actors though, “my” Superman looks like Welling, acts like Hoechlin, and sounds like Tim Daly.

Even though it's supposed to be someone else, Superman Secret Identity is the best depiction of how Superman should feel to me.

For me, the Fleischer cartoons hands down...
and in comics, the original Siegel/Shuster version, in particular the Superman from the daily and Sunday comics strips and the first couple dozen issues of Action Comics.
