John Haymes Newton as SUPERBOY:
If you look carefully you'll find that the "S" symbol that John Haymes Newton is wearing is the only faithful adaptation that I know of, using the exact "S" shield symbol that DC COMICS uses for a long time now especially on merchandising products. Is the exact same trade mark symbol. Here, the only time it was used on a Superman/Super-boy costume.
On the other hand Gerard Christopher sported a different "S" symbol shape, resembling more the comics version. On either case the two were good costumes on the good Christopher Reeve tradition and quality much better than the costume that Dean Cain wore in the Lois and Clark tv show. Plus both John Newton and Gerard Christopher really had the good looks and both resembled quite a lot Superboy/Superman. IMHO my preference goes to Gerard Christopher that after Chris Reeve was the best looking actor for the Superman role only surpassed many years later by Brandon Routh.
Gerard Christopher as Super boy with Stacey as Lana Lang.
