* ToughActToFollow: His portrayal of Superman is widely considered the definitive take on the character. To this day, many compare all of Superman's later actors to Reeve's performance to measure how well their portrayal is; when asked, all the actors who’ve subsequently played the role have unanimously cited Reeve as the best iteration. This has also been a source of considerable frustration for many fans of the character, who feel every other actor who takes on the role is unfairly expected to live up to Reeve's portrayal or recapture that same lightning in a bottle, rather than have the freedom to fully create their own version and one which reflects the ways in which the character has evolved since the Reeve era. This has been a particular point of contention for many fans of Creator/HenryCavill's far more serious portrayal of Superman who have a very bitter rivalry with vocal fans of Reeve's portrayal for this reason.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Before Reeve's portayal, the idea no one recognized Superman was [[ClarkKenting Clark Kent without his glasses]] was a running joke. Reeve showed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIaF0QKtY0c exactly how it could work]], and has since been incorporated into every later portrayal.
