Christopher Reeve version of Superman bad CGI lead to flash Critisizm
The flash reached theaters, a scene from the film that was supposed to be a great part of DC’s previous efforts became one of the worst moments of the film due to some heavy use of CGI to recreate the dead stars. The first and most iconic big-screen Superman, is Christopher Reeve.
Reeve, who survived a fatal accident in 1995 and died in 2004, appeared in the Speedforce during The Flash, a demi-plane where Barry Allen discovers he can traverse both time and the multiverse. The sequel features several “worlds” of alternate versions of DC’s greatest heroes, including a long-lost Nicolas Cage version of Superman.
The Flash movie an important part of the DC universe
The Flash was anticipated to be a milestone event in the DC Extended Universe, but instead, it became another disastrous event as the franchise headed toward its upcoming reboot by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Directed by Andy Muschietti and starring Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, the film proved to be a game-changer as it introduced the DC Multiverse with an epic story and the lead roles of Batman star Michael Keaton and the return of Man of Steel’s Michael Shannon.
The use of Christopher Reeve iconic Portrayal as Superman without consulting the late actor family
Christopher Reeve’s Superman appeared to be an homage to the actor’s iconic portrayal of the Man of Steel and sparked a heated discussion about dead stars’ likenesses being used without the consent of their families.
Reeve’s children recently appeared at the Sundance Film Festival, where a new documentary about the actor’s life called Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story was being unveiled.
Speaking with Variety, William, Matthew, and Alexandra confirmed that they had no involvement in their father’s appearance on The Flash and that they haven’t even watched it.
Christopher Reeve children reveals that Reeve was more proud of “Remains of the Days”role
They reminisces about the rebranding of his local movie theater and asks Will to show him one of his father’s films. William said:
“I replied, ‘Sure, but not Superman. We’re going to make ‘Remains of the Day.'” He was very proud of his role in that film. This is not a big role. This is an important role in the film. Is. He got a chance to show a completely different side of himself. I knew how proud he was of it. Not that he wasn’t proud of Superman…but if he were here he wouldn’t have picked Superman, I’d have picked ‘Remains of the Day’. I don’t think about the Superman movies as much as I think about Swings, who was pushed into a larger-than-life role.”
