During the film, Superman doesn't just tackle the big bad villain, he also apprehends smaller criminals as well. Reeve even completely changes his posture and voice as Clark, slouching and pitching his voice slightly higher. He may be a little over the top with the meek and mild-mannered aspects of the character but when you consider that the only true disguise he has is a pair of glasses, it makes sense to be viewed as a sweet but ultimately wimpy man.

The film sees Clark Kent joining the Daily Planet in Metropolis as a reporter and beginning his career and relationship with Lois Lane. With a new film on the horizon and Cavill openly stating recently "I'm so excited to tell a story with an enormously joyful Superman."
