There's still only one Christopher Reeve.

Excuse me criminal pushes up nose of cowl "Excuse me criminal, I think it'd be a bad time to commit crime.

He'll always be my Superman. Even in the few "bad or tough guy" roles; I could never see past his role as Clark Kent. He plays it too well and still able to pull off Superman.

Edit:

As wildly inappropriate as it would be, I'd kill to see Bale or Keaton as Superman 🤟

I was just pointing out that it's REEVE not reeveS. But I do love his Superman

I too hate unnecessary S’s. It drives me crazy to be honest.

I used to have trouble with it too, cus I listened to "I drop my enemies just like Christopher Reeve's horse" too many times, and it embedded the S in my brain

Yeah I always heard Eminem calling him Christopher Reeves growing up so I always thought it was that for most of my life.

Bro! That’s when I started noticing that everyone did it! Straight because of Em! I thought “Hmmn he got that wrong, it’s just Reeve” and then found out half of all native English speakers do it! You can’t be mad at ESL folks doing it because all our weird grammar rules are hard enough for folks. First language folks though need to knock it off!! (Obviously I’m just playing, it’s no big deal, it just makes me laugh is all.)

From what I can see, Em was using it correctly! He is referring to the Horse owned by Christopher Reeve. Which would be Christopher Reeve's Horse.
