I think the reason they use skinny guys is that Superman is just an alien who came to Earth. On Krypton he might be the average joe. But on Earth, with it\'s different enviroment and yellow sun, he is super human.
See, I \'ve always heard the creator\'s wanted him to be an average guy, just with super human powers, he was supposed to be a farmers son, rangy, but not uber buff like they draw him today.
Besides when you can lift Battleships, Moutains and buildings, I really doubt you can find a place to go workout to keep up that phsyique.
As for Smallville, the new season is turning out pleasantly surprising, OK they did have a really LAME episode where Clark meets Aqua Man, but you\'re seeing Lex really start to turn evil, Clark is finally starting to see this.
They have introduced Proffesor Fine, played by James Marsters (Spike,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) who is in fact Brainiac, they have brought in the Fortress of Solitude (I may be wrong but it looks like the same set materials from Superman II), mentioned General Zod, and shown us a taste of the Phantom Zone.
Oh, and speaking of Christopher Reeves, this might interest some.
