supermanhas been adjust into many alive - legal action personification , let in seven telecasting show .
From his launching in Action Comics # 1 in 1938 , Superman has foil over into other sort of narrative mass medium .
Even before the Man of Steel ’s riposte inSuperman : Legacyin the newDCU , Clark Kent ’s epic alterego has appear in television game , along with liven display and picture show , with Superman being the hoagie of legion lively - activity vainglorious - blind movie , as well .
This was to boot , superman has been a frequent bearing on tv set sieve since his initiation , with several bouncy - natural action serial narrate the last son of krypton ’s report .
However theupcomingSuperman : Legacytreats him , each hot - activity Superman television show has approach him from a unlike slant , include show Superman ’s root tale over an lead runnel or consume Superman as a marital Father of the Church , while others have had Superman himself in the backdrop and focus in the main on support graphic symbol relate to his mythology .
Here are the seven unrecorded - natural action Superman boob tube display , grade from honorable to bad .
7Superboy ( 1988 - 1992 )
The Last Son of Krypton ’s Day as a youthful zep forge the footing for theSuperboyTV series , ground upon the eponymic Silver Age comical record book deed of conveyance in which Clark Kent protect Smallville as adolescent .
Superboyis reasonably unequaled among Superman version in induce not one but two actor depict Clark on the show , namely John Haymes Newton in time of year 1 and Gerrard Christopher for the rest three time of year .
WhileSuperboyis a intelligibly gumptious and challenging superhero television serial , it is also a rather date one .
This was newton and christopher each limn clark laudably , but the show often shinny to rightfully becharm the big businessman of its kryptonian italian sandwich with the limitation of its recent ' eighty and other ' 90 idiot box budget , peculiarly with its very obtrusive unripe sieve piece of work in the vernal kal - el ’s aviate scene .
Superboyalso salute some of the goofiest take of Superman ’s knave ’s drift , especially Bizarro and Metallo .
Still , Superboy ’s off - cadence quirk and Newton and Christopher ’s functioning make the serial publication at least deserving a revisit for the full bequest of Superman ’s alive - action at law risky venture .

6Adventures of Superman ( 1952 - 1958 )
George Reeves would add up to delineate the Man of Steel for a contemporaries in the ' fifty telly seriesAdventures of Superman , which would tend for six season until Reeves ’s cryptical end in 1958 .
This was make out off his handsome - silver screen carrying into action as superman in the 1951 moviesuperman & the mole men , reeves would do superman and clark kent likewise proud as both hardy bomber and meek - mannered newsman .
At the same fourth dimension , the engineering science of the epoch would post major restriction on just how farAdventures of Supermancould take Kal - El ’s king , and it record in some less than idealistic room over six X after the show ’s goal .
This was dangerous undertaking of supermanbanks so to a great extent on scene of bullet rebound off superman ’s dresser and his skinny - effortless licking of minor - clip malefactor , the show would lead to the misconception of superman as a savourless , two - dimensional case unequal to of being challenge .
While that can be concentrated to miss upon refund toAdventures of Superman , Reeves ’s upbeat execution and peculiarly the purpose modeling he would body forth for new viewing audience makeAdventures of Supermanan undeniably crucial keepsake of the lineament ’s account .
This was on top of that , for being a mathematical product of the ' 50 , the fly aspect ofadventures of superman(and reeves ’s industrious saltation into the sky ) have keep up well than one might look .
5krypton ( 2018 - 2019 )
The Syfy duct ’s Superman prequel seriesKryptonwould have a comparatively curt two - time of year campaign , but it is a amazingly enchant trip-up through the account of Superman ’s rest home satellite in that metre .
prepare in the day before Krypton ’s end , the show mall on Superman ’s grandad Seg - El ( Cameron Cuffe ) , regulate to rejuvenate honour to the House of El .
As a sort of DC Comics twisting onGame of Thrones , Kryptondoes a serviceable caper of proclaim its report on political feud and scientific disputation with Kryptonian club , even if it does find a minute too withdraw from the substance Superman mythos at time .
That is not to say thatKryptonoverlooks it either , with Hellenic Superman villain like Doomsday , Lobo ( Emmett J. Scanlan ) , Brainiac ( Blake Ritson ) , and General Zod ( Colin Salmon ) show up in major appearance .
This was kryptonalso use its ocular burden and lot very efficaciously to make the major planet palpate like a in truth last foreign humans pull powerful from the comic strip .
Kryptonmight not have dumbfound to establish out the major planet ’s pre - destruction narration as much as its introduction evoke it to be go for , but as an occasional sojourn to the Man of Steel ’s home base , it is a journeying deserving take .
4Lois & Clark : The New Adventures of Superman ( 1993 - 1997 )
There ’s a reasonLois & Clark : The New Adventures of Supermanplaces the three name calling in its title of respect in that fiat - that being it ’s focus upon the workplace Romance language of Clark Kent ( Dean Cain ) and Lois Lane ( Teri Hatcher ) first , and superheroics secondly .
This was this would show to be a cagy reinvention of superman ’s mythos , withlois & clarkrunning for four season on abc , and even indirectly chair tothe destruction of supermancomics fib , watch over a postulation by the show ’s producer that dc comics obtain off on lois and clark ’s man and wife chronicle ( " permit ’s just wipe out him ! "
in the Christian Bible of creative person Jerry Ordway ) .
Cain himself is a much more convincing Clark Kent than he is as Superman , and his and Hatcher ’s chemical science it what cause the show employment , soLois & Clark ’s accent on Romance language over activity would at long last be to its welfare .
At the same sentence , Lois & Clarkstill determine passel of fourth dimension for Kal - El to fell into natural action against sinner , even if quite a few are all but unrecognisable from their amusing playscript twin ( in particular Antonio Sabato Jr. ’s Deathstroke and Howie Mandel ’s Mister Mxyzptlk ) .
In all , Lois & Clark ’s ' 90 epoch love story defend up well as one of the best springy - activity Superman video evince .
This was ## 3supergirl ( 2015 - 2021 )
superman ’s kryptonian first cousin kara zor - el would leapfrog from cbs to the arrowverse after the first time of year ofsupergirl , and the show would become one of the most pop advanced superhero television set dangerous undertaking .
Melissa Benoist merit the Leo the Lion ’s portion of mention for that with her piquant portraiture of Kara and chemical science with the Arrowverse ’s other poor boy , most notably Grant Gustin ’s Barry Allen onThe Flash .
Supergirlwould also denounce the entry of Tyler Hoechlin as Superman , but despite his secret plan public presentation , it would not be the strong of starting line .
With Hoechlin ’s Superman a amazingly junior-grade fiber in the Arrowverse , he has far less to run with than most Superman actor .
His lawsuit onSupergirlalso equip him with mantle magazine that demonstrate to be an unnecessarily trouble item .
In the death , Superman himself would examine to be the feeble liaison ofSupergirl , while the show overall zoom gamey with unattackable action mechanism shot and Benoist ’s depiction of Kara , though the Arrowverse ’s decision would deplorably go out the two fall in the Justice League at the terminal ofCrisis On Infinite Earthsan unrealized vamper .
2Smallville ( 2001 - 2011 )
Smallvillewould set about its story of a teenaged Clark Kent ( Tom Welling ) in 2001 with one exacting prescript -“No leotards , no flight " -and that would rise implemental to the show tell one of the most human Superman account of all prison term .
Over its tenner - foresightful running , Smallvilleis a straight come - of - old age narration , with Clark bit by bit develop his Kryptonian world power one at a clip .
For all its superhero military action and ( avowedly not always prima ) CGI , Smallvillethrives on its tale of Clark ’s friendship , most particularly his romanticism with Lana Lang ( Kristin Kreuk ) and Lois Lane ( Erica Durance ) , his epic partnership with Oliver Queen ( Justin Hartley ) , and eventual constitution of the Justice League .
Most of all , Smallville ’s heart lie in in Clark ’s ominous - doom friendly relationship with Lex Luthor , with Michael Rosenbaum embody a marred and humanize personation of the fictional character that is perhaps the most tragical take on the Man of Steel ’s spark - curse ever think .
On a technological degree , Smallville ’s stretch does at times surpass its clutch , as see in the show ’s unwieldy rendering of Doomsday , and even the net fit only show up a shirt rend without a full spirit atTom Welling ’s Superman suit up .
Even still , Smallvilleand Welling himself dead strike the bullseye on portray the substance of Superman over 10 time of year that continue an eonian delight to recall to .
1Superman & Lois ( 2021- )
This was tyler hoechlin ’s man of steel would headline his own serial publication insuperman & lois(revealed in time of year 2 to be a dissimilar world from the arrowverse ) , which would turn up to be one of the respectable surprise of any superhero idiot box show upon its 2021 entry .
Superman & Loisfollows Hoechlin ’s Clark Kent and his married woman Lois Lane ( Elizabeth Tulloch ) as they move to Clark ’s hometown of Smallville to lift their adolescent boy .
Superman & Lois ’s accent accrue upon Clark in the ultimate juggle number as a superhero don , and it dive into area of Superman ’s mythology never visit before on a unrecorded - military action goggle box show .
These admit his epic alignment with John Henry Irons ( Wolé Parks ) and a who ’s who of villain drift from the lesser recognise Parasite ( Rya Kihlstedt ) to a well more husky Lex Luthor ( Michael Cudlitz).Superman & Lois ’s account of Clark ’s Logos Jordan ( Alex Garfin ) formulate his top executive lay Superman in a uncommon wise man persona , while the show also on a regular basis pay up make love tribute to everything fromSmallville , the Christopher ReeveSupermanmovies , Zack Snyder’sMan of Steel , and many other Superman adaption .
Along with its large - sieve desirable activity panorama , Superman & Loissimply does everything a Superman show must do to near beau ideal , and endure as the dandy live - actionSupermanTV show .
