I mean actually balled up his fist, hauled off and smacked someone? I don't recall that he has... even in Superman 2 and 4.

I would bet evil Supes punched Clark in the junkyard fight of Superman III. Can't remember for sure, though.

Okay, yes, he does several times. But since it's not the real, good, non-drunk Superman, maybe the answer to your question is still "no."

I know he never punched anybody on "Superfriends". Actually, neither did anyone else.

This one time a guy was right behind him and wouldn't get off his cell phone, and it was during Silence of the Lambs. Supes stood up and punched that guy.

He must have punched the Phanotm Zone criminals in #2, yes?

I don't think he did, Junk. I think he just threw them around. He almost hit Ursa, but then realized she was female.

I think you guys get my point though. Look at footage of Christopher Reeve hitting people and then look at that animated Superman/Shazam fight. Relatively speaking, movie Superman never hit anybody.

I guess that's why he was losing so badly ;)

I really like Reeve and all... but it was painfully obvious in all his action scenes he was fairly awkward punching and fighting.

Yup, we really need a Matrix Revolutions style super fight in the Next Superman film. That means Bizarro, Mongul, or Parasite would be nice adversaries. Please no Doomsday just yet.

I'm thinking for this first movie that Nolan is producing, having Superman fight a big robot is a good start... kind of like the Animated Series pilot where Corben is piloting the Lexosuit and maybe he can come back in another film as Metallo.

Actors these days get weeks/months of intense training in all sorts of disciplines: horseback riding, hand to hand, sword fighting, etc.

Funny you should mention horseback riding in a thread about Christopher Reeve...

In the Donner version of Superman II, he punches Zod, I think instead of that horrible kick.

it really was. the Donner fight was much better. It's a shame he couldn't finish that movie, the uncut stuff had some cool scenes.
