June 27, 2013: The Case of the "Man of Steel" Christopher Reeve Cameo

Reeve/Cavill Since the release of "Man of Steel" on June 14, fans have been debating back and forth whether Zack Snyder intentionally inserted a tribute to Christopher Reeve in the film, or if it's just a matter of Henry Cavill and the late great Mr Reeve both looking like Superman?

An animated GIF of the scene in question has been posted online, showing the moment in the movie when Superman, under the force of a gravity beam, looks up, and under immense pressure, prepares to flying against the force of the beam. The force of the beam and the stress he is under appear to distort his appearance, and some are claiming that the filmmakers intentionally used this opportunity to insert a frame or two of Christopher Reeve's likeness on the character.

Others are saying that it's simply a trick of the eye, and that people are just seeing what they link is Christopher Reeve's likeness because both he and Henry Cavill both look like Superman.

What do you think?
