Christopher Reeve, the man who played Superman, was confined to a wheelchair eternally, after an equestrian injury. Even the greatest heroes fall. The one that used to fly can no longer walk. Can Superman be brought back from where Christopher Reeve left him? On October 4th 2008, Superman’s final showdown will happen in front of a large waterfall in downtown Toronto. Performance artist Thierry Marceau will reveal his true identity as Superman, as he would have been portrayed by the late Christopher Reeve.
