Man, this headline was really confusing to read until I realized his son's name is Will Reeve.


majorjoe23

Another example of why using AP Style and only capitalizing the first letter and proper nouns is the best method.


Gohanto

And titlecase like this headline uses shouldn’t be a thing


apjak

Or, you know, a comma to set the name apart in its own clause.


lkodl

Nah. It's better when it's confusing. Best when confusing and with typos. Gotta get that online engagement.


BrutalRamen

What do you mean by AP style? Associated Press? What you described is also how we write titles in French.


majorjoe23

Yes, Associated Press:


MattSR30

Man was going to get in his longship and harry the shores of Europe for a shot at the Man of Steel!


Reggie_Impersonator

No, you read it right. "Reeve" is a verb. It means "to appear in a movie while also being the child of actor Christopher Reeve."


kamilo87

I was going that route. Lol


Legitimate-River-524

Dude I thought my brain was messed up or there was a typo! I thought what does it mean to Reeve someone? Whatdyou mean he Reeves to appear? I thought it was a verb haha


Manfrenjensenjen

Will Reeve or won’t Reeve?


Past_Ebb_8304

I’m reeving to get into that movie.


ERSTF

It lacked some commas there


WastedWaffles

Will he Reeve, though?


notTheHeadOfHydra

Came here to comment exactly this. Sat here for an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out what it meant “to reeve to appear” lmao


sawananedi

So Reeve isn’t a verb ?


futurespacecadet

No no, clearly you don’t understand when someone reeves to appear by sheer will


ayoungtommyleejones

My brain did the opposite and just deleted "Reeves to" so I just saw will appear


AuburnElvis

"To reeve or not to reeve," that is the question.


Don_Dickle

To me the only Superman will always be Christopher Reeves because I grew up with him. No body since even compares.


Smubee

Christopher Reeve George Reeves


WrastleGuy

Nicholas Cage


Rellgidkrid

Reeve


InnocentTailor

I think Gunn and many others would agree with you, much like how Williams’ theme is still synonymous with the Man of Steel.


Don_Dickle

Probably get downvoted to hell or called a liar but when I saw Superman in theaters I could swear Williams theme said Superman in it.


S0larDeath

No lie, and I admit it's in bad taste, but when I read "*Will Reeve*" I immediately thought of Eminem in the song Purple Pills when he says "*It's Mr. Mischief wih a trick up my sleeve, to roll up on you like Christopher Reeve*".....like "Will Reeve" is shorthand 🤷🏼‍♂️


odiin1731

He will be playing a guy who everyone thinks is secretly Superman, but isn't, and no one believes him.


kc_______

OR, maybe he will be the REAL Superman the whole time and Corenswet is just the decoy, that would be a major plot twist.


Andrew1990M

I can 100% understand not wanting to touch the Superman role with a 200ft inanimate carbon rod if you’re Christopher Reeve’s son.   But damn, that kid looks like Superman. 


Alastor3

except he's not really an actor


nofreelaunch

Neither is Superman. Except when he’s Clark Kent. Which is probably most of the time. Is Superman an actor? Maybe.


Vegan_Harvest

Batman is the one acting when he's Bruce, Superman is Clark Kent as much as he is Superman.


nofreelaunch

There is definitely lots of acting in pretending to be a human with no powers.


Vegan_Harvest

It's basically just code switching, millions of people do that every day.


nofreelaunch

I going to go ahead and disagree that pretending to be a human when your secretly a God is done my millions everyday. But my comment was a joke anyway so who cares.


Portatort

What the hell kind of take is this? Character X isn’t an actor in the story so shouldn’t be portrayed by an actor IRL?


neogreenlantern

I actually think he looks more like Captain Marvel/Shazam//The Captain.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Only right that he interviews Corenswet's Superman


TussalDimon

This place is not about leaks, so without specifics I want to say, so far all the photos and videos from their time filming in Cleveland look very promising.


brahbocop

It's hitting all the right notes with me as well with the added bonus of watching the really crazy Snyder fans lose their minds.

brahbocop

No idea what that has to do with my comment……


Top_Report_4895

His name better be Colin Clarke


ChannelNeo

TIL Christopher Reeve has a son


Ape-ril

His reporter name better be “Clark Kent”.


mukawalka

Klark Cent


Ape-ril

lmao that’s it!


cowpool20

It took me a few attempts to read the title.


blacksad1

That dude is handsome AF.


FlamingTrollz

Son of most beloved Superman actor looks like Superman. Love it. 🙏🏼


Marionaharis89

Commas are important kids


logginginagain

I didn’t know he had a son; I’m happy his legacy lives on


HPCoreProcessor

Struggling with the use of commas, bud?


spinyfur

Will Reeves is playing a cameo role. Kinda buried the lede on that title.


dh098017

Supo baby


spinyfur

I thought that too, until I saw it was just a tiny cameo role.


dh098017

I was just making a play on words. Didn’t read the article.


Froy_Laven

Is Reeve used as a verb here?


PMYourTinyTitties

“Will Reeve” is his name


Froy_Laven

Yeah title phrasing was odd for me I suppose.


Reggie_Impersonator

Yes. Just explained above, actually. "Reeve" is now a verb. It means "to appear in a movie while also being the child of actor Christopher Reeve."


boycottShia

Christopher’s son will Reeve his ass off in new Superman film


Froy_Laven

Superman: The Reevening


NarbleOnus

Yay nepotism!


Evil_Fragrance6

The movie needs a good story not cameo or all that rubbish? God!!! Doesn't he learn from his utter flop flash?


brahbocop

James Gunn was responsible for The Flash?


Dr_Toboggan_666

He looks like a lame Mathew Fox.
