From the iconic Kirk Alyn to the latest portrayal by David Corenswet, a total of 10 actors have donned the cape and tights of Superman in official live-action films and television shows. While many of these projects focused on Superman's early years, bringing his origin story to life, others have continued his adventures as a seasoned superhero battling the world's evils.
So, just how old is Superman?
In the comics, Clark Kent was initially depicted as 25 when he became Superman, and post-Crisis stories started his adventures at age 28. By the time of his death at the hands of Doomsday, Clark was 34. Current storylines place him between 37-42 years old. However, due to his alien origins, it remains unclear whether Superman ages at the same rate as humans.
To understand the age of Superman's cinematic counterparts, The Superman Homepage has crafted an infographic showcasing the actors, their ages at the start and end of their respective portrayals.
