Or maybe how peter parker is portrayed in the comics? I mean, maguire and holland were both 5 8 or below. The superman actors have been very tall usually like christopher reeve and tom welling. All 6 3 and above.

short isn't necessarily a defining characteristic, but rather just small in general, hence the "Puny Parker" nickname. More thin than short I'd say.

He is like average height in the comics. He also doesn't stand up straight a lot . And besides Logan and Miles he stands next to taller people.

yeah but superman has always been portrayed as a big guy right? How would a really short guy playing a live action superman? Would work?

Dean Cain was a good Superman, and while I wouldn't consider 6' 0" short by any means I also wouldn't say he was tall or big. Just a normal sized dude.

Well when many super heroes and villains are 6-7 feet tall an average height dude that crouches frequently would look tiny by comparison

Eh, i didn't care for that show. Did it have any special effects at all? Did he put on the suit? Reeve and Wellling superman roles had great special effects.

Yeah, it had special effects.. they were cheesy low budget TV special effects from the 90's but they made him fly and have ice breath and heat vision. He wears the suit a lot. I was a kid when I watched it..so, I'm sure if I watched it today it would be meh--but I remember liking the show and thinking he was a good Superman and a great Clark Kent

He's supposed to be short and stringy, like a spider. It provides a necessary contrast to other characters and it fits him personally.
