Superman



The character Superman and his various comic series have received various awards over the years. The Reign of the Supermen is one of many storylines or works to have received a Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award, winning the Favorite Comic Book Story category in 1993.[138] Superman came at number 2 in VH1's Top Pop Culture Icons 2004.[139] In the same year British cinemagoers voted Superman as the greatest superhero of all time.[140] Works featuring the character have also garnered six Eisner Awards[141][142] and three Harvey Awards,[143] either for the works themselves or the creators of the works. The Superman films have, as of 2007, received a number of nominations and awards, with Christopher Reeve winning a BAFTA for his performance in Superman.[144] The Smallville television series has garnered Emmys for crew members and various other awards.[145] Superman as a character is still seen as being as relevant now as he has been in the seventy years of his existence.[146]
