Curse of the Movies?

Wikepedia says:
The Superman curse refers to a series of misfortunes that have
plagued creative people involved in adaptations of
Superman in various media, particularly actors
who have played the role of Superman on film and television. The curse basically
states,
If you intend to play the strongest man on Earth, you will either
die or end up in the weakest position possible.

There are more than a dozen instances to the Superman curse, George Reeves and Christopher Reeve seem to be the most harrowing examples.
George Reeves allegedly committed suicide days before his wedding, and Christopher Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down after being thrown from his horse and sadly died in 2005.
While these are more tangible tragedies, Dean Cain who starred in the Superman series has now suffered another kind of death, in his career, relegated to 'Ripley's - Believe it or not...'
And Teri Hatcher, successful in her career (questionable?) but looks like a scarecrow, after spending how long being luscious Lois Lane?

Now it seems like Batman; The Dark Knight, may have been struck with a curse of thier own.
Of course the tragic death of Heath Ledger - who played the Joker.
And Christian Bale - who played Bruce Wayne/Batman, having been
investigated for assult of his mother and sister and although he has been released without charges.
And now
Morgan Freeman involved in a serious car accident - who played Lucius Fox of Wayne Enterprises.

Because who doesn't love a conspiracy theory/suggested curse?

It's not paranoia if they are really after you!

An interesting thought though....

Like the 'curse' of King Tut;
