CHRISTOPHER REEVE: 1952-2004

Christopher Reeve, who played Superman in four movies, died on Sunday night. He was 52.

He returned to the Superman mythos by appearing in two episodes of Smallville as Dr. Swann.

THQ announced that Thomas Jane, star of The Punisher movie, will lend his voice to The Punisher video game, coming to the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox in January 2005.
