1950s TV Superman, George Reeves's suicide.
The hardship suffered by Superman co-creators Siegel & Shuster after they sold their billion- dollar creation to DC Comics for a mere $130.00; then there's Kirk Alyris' lackluster career after playing Superman in two 1940s movie series; then there's Christopher Reeve' tragic accident & his unfortunate death.
FINAL NOTES: When George Reeves died, there was another season all planned that he didn't know about. ALSO: Superman is considered the 1st ET. AND: There's no curse on the careers of Dean Cain, Tom Welling (of Smallville), and the new movie Superman, Brandon Routh. Is the Superman curse over with? What's your opinion?

Frankly, I don't believe in curses. I believe whatever fate lies in one's life is what they made of it, or whatever happened has happened.
George Reeve's suicide occured because something must've been troubling him personally (rumors said either because of his failed career, or same with actress Marylin Monroe, depression).
Siegel & Shuster sold their creation INTENTIONALLY.
Most of us have made a terrible deal.
Kirk Alyris was going through every actor's problem and nightmare, a fading career (like then famous actors, singer Van Johnson, Oscar winner Bette Davis, or silent film actress Greta Garbo, all who are now mostly forgotten).
Christopher Reeve's horse panicked and brought Reeves to be paralized (composer Cole Porter, who lost his leg and heiress Paris Hilton have experienced falling off a horse). We all have to die someday, it was mainly his time.
As for Cain, Welling, and Routh, whose careers have soared because of Superman without going through any concussions, just proves that what everyone thinks is/was a curse is just pointless.
There never was a curse to begin with, just simple conflicts that happen in one's life.

I dont believe that there was a curse. George reeves probably had personal problems unrelated to his tv role and simon and shuester just used bad judgement. As for christopher reeve, its tragic the way his life ended but that could easily happen to anyone. If there is or was a curse then it is or was a selective one.
