Urban Legend is a myth or a legend of contemporary, often widely believed as a truth. Most Urban Legend associated with mystery, horror, fear, humor or even a moral tale. Urban Legend does not always mean the story of a lie, but, just as the story spread by word of mouth, Urban Legend is also often exaggerated to be more sensational. In Indonesia, the story can be considered an Urban Legend for example, is a beautiful cottage home, tunnels casblanca, octopus house in Bandung and others.
Actually, besides the curse of Superman, there are a lot of Urban Legend or other beliefs that involve condemnation. An example is the curse that befell the United States president since Abraham Lincoln so that every 20 years, American presidents would have been killed or died while in office (And this really happened). The curse is believed to expire at the time of Ronald Reagan.
Then there is another Kennedy family curse, the curse of Bruce Lee's family, or the most excited these days, the curse of Oscar recipients who received an Oscar said after going through a divorce.
The Curse of Superman is a belief that a catastrophe will befall the people involved in the character of Superman who presented a variety of media, especially movies.
The curse is basically reads:
"If you intend to play the strongest man in the world, then you will end in death or is in the weakest position."
The curse is supposedly originated from the creator of the character of Superman himself, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
Siegel and ShusterSiegel and Shuster created the Superman character in 1938. However, the copyright holder of that character is the company where they take shelter, DC Comics. In 1946, two men sue DC Comics because they feel are compensated for any lack of success of that character. New York court has finally decided to give the completion of a maximum of $ 60,000 for each. This amount is of course very small compared to the millions of dollars obtained from Superman.
Siegel and Shuster business continued until 1975 when they organized protests that followed by other comic writers. DC Comics finally agreed to pay them a pension worth $ 35,000 per year lifetime and will mention the name of both of them for each use of the Superman character.
In addition to Superman, Siegel and Shuster never again create the Superman character class. Some say that the characters are both angry and condemn it because of the injustice that is received.

Even Brandon Routh has signed a contract with Warner Bros. to make a sequel film entitled Superman Lives. Sounds like a good career.
Or, we are also not heard of any disasters that befall the main character in the movie series like Smallville or Tom Welling Kristin Kreuk.
Problem Tom Welling, it is interesting. Some people believe she escaped the curse of Superman for the TV series Smallville, he was not wearing a Superman costume.

In fact so strange, if the curse befall one for wearing a Superman costume, why is Dean Cain or Brandon Routh did not experience it?
Then, why is another actor who was not wearing a Superman costume as Margot Kidder or Lee Quigley could hit with this curse?
What about the thousands of others who participated in the filming of Superman since the 1940s up to now? Why they are not exposed to the curse?
If the view of these factors, then I think the curse of Superman may have only a combination of a fairly good chance to make it as one of the most famous Urban Legend in the world. As I said, this information only to "just know".
