George Reeves, not Christopher Reeve. One urban legend was that he got drunk, thought he was Superman, and jumped out the window.

In the early morning hours of June 16, 1959, three days before a planned wedding to Lenore Lemmon, Reeves went to bed after a long night with guests. Shortly thereafter, a shot rang out, and he was found dead in his bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head. An official inquiry concluded that the death was suicide. His disbelieving mother conducted an investigation of her own, which was inconclusive.\n\nWith suicide the official verdict, much speculation resulted as to whether it was because of his failed career. It was also noted that he had suffered a concussion in an auto accident shortly before that event, leading some to suspect that his mental health had been compromised. These facts are recounted in Gary Grossman's 1976 book, Superman: Serial to Cereal. At that time, suicide was the predominant presumed cause of death, and various reasons were cited to justify or explain it.\n\nIn recent years, there have been questions raised again as to whether Reeves' death was really a suicide, or whether it was a murder covered up by Hollywood insiders, similar to the claims about suspicious (or allegedly suspicious) deaths of other Hollywood notables (such as Marilyn Monroe, Thelma Todd and Paul Bern).\n\nThe 1996 book Hollywood Kryptonite, by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger, discusses the issues, the doubts by friends and relatives, the forensic evidence as to whether suicide was even physically possible, whether the shooting was properly investigated by police, and alternative theories. The book makes an interesting argument for Reeves having been the target of a "hit" due to having spurned a long-time lover with mob connections. The hypothesis is that the aforementioned car accident was also an attempted hit. There is no question that Reeves' circle of friends included some unsavory characters. There are groups trying to muster support for re-opening the investigation. However, the allegations and unanswered questions are unlikely ever to be resolved, due to the passage of time and the deaths of apparently everyone who might know the truth of the matter, so for the present, suicide remains the official cause of death

Since Supe obeys a whole different set of physical laws, being from the planet Krypton, he can pretty much do as he likes in our physical universe.  Obviously he's got the gravity thing beat since he can fly, so he could, in theory, put the kibosh on all of Newton's equations.

lol thats what i've been thinking when i was a kid, that Lois is too stupid not to realize that Superman is Clark Kent and vise versa or that they're twin at the least.

You also have to remember that Superman also had mental blocks that he developed so he wouldn't create havoc on earth. If you remember his powers are limitless. The mental blocks helped him untill he learned to control that power he blocked.

He was drunk and out-of-control?

This is a pretty clear cut case. Despite his cosmic powers, Norrin Radd is no match for the man of steel. Superman would eat the surfer alive...\n\nUnless...\n\nThe Surfer was able to lure Superman far enough from Earth's yellow sun that Clark Kent would find himself powerless in the depths of space.\n\nDisclaimer: I am a Marvel-head almost exclusively. If there is compelling evidence that Superman can travel great distances from the sun without losing his powers then there is not a prayer for the surfer. Any DC people have any information on this?

Folks are kind of missing that it wasn't a voluntary act.  If he did it himself then yes he is guilty of public indecency, if he had it done to him then he was actually a victim in the eyes of the law.\n\nWhether he would get a drunk and incapable/disorderly charge is another thing.

It's purely rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me.  He was a crazy guy like that.  Most geniuses are.

One time my friend got drunk and passed out in someone's bed. So I got another one of my friends, who is gay, to get in bed with him. One of his girlfriends put on lipstick and kissed him all over his face and chest(since she likes him anyway), and the gay friend put the same lipstick on his lips. We opened a box of condoms and put some margarine inside them, and threw them around the floor near the bed. We also smeared KY jelly all over the bedsheets and the drunk passed out friend's thighs.\n\nWe all knew he woke up when a loud blood-curling yell came from upstairs. Man, he was FREAKING out. You know in Ace Ventura when Jim Carrey freaks out and runs to the bathroom to wash his mouth out? He did exactly that. It was too funny.\n\nWhen we let him in on the prank he didn't speak to us for about a week, haha.

Absolutely not. The only reason this rumor got started is because 'The Advocate' magazine, the leading gay magazine in the US did a cover story on the Superman Returns movie.

This is not just a quote from Dazed and Confused....this is like Matthew McConaughey's,  signature phrase, kinda like Keanu Reeves "whoa".  He has said this line in multiple movies, but I do agree that the most notorious in Dazed and Confused.

Although he has started a trend of being a "stuntman/performer" don't forget he was originally an illusionist. So did he do it?
