Boba Rhett Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 After rumor upon rumor posted online about Warner Bros.’ reintroduction of the next “Superman” movie franchise, and just who will be playing the part of the Man of Steel himself, LatinoReview can now put to rest the biggest rumor of all… Just who is “Superman”? Director Bryan Singer had recently mentioned to AICN that he is committed to casting an unknown. Thanks to our same source 'Anonymous,' who has given us the ‘firsts’ on castings on Fantastic Four, and Batman Begins, we now have info on Superman. The man who Singer has picked to play Clark Kent/Superman is none other than a relatively unknown actor by the name of Brandon Routh (Seen here in the photo to the right dressed in his own Superman outfit on Halloween last year). Linka-ma-bob What sayest thou? Think it's true? Oh and he's from Iowa too. (Go Iowa, W00t! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 *Looks at Kains customary slamming of the thread* Well, I really don't care who Super Man is. It has to be a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Windu Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Looks pretty good as Clark Kent. Much better than obi guy What are you trying to hide by sucking in air obes? Oh yeah, Singer is NOT doing XMEN 3. He has split from Fox, and Fox is looking for another indie movie kind of director to lead XMEN 3 because they don't want to pay him too much, since they still have to hire back Halle, Jackman, etc. There is a rumor of Hugh Jackman not returning.

Mike Windu Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 N'DeeDy! I really want Singer back. He directed the second movie extremely well, and even though the first was mediocre it made a huge leap in comic book adaptations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narfblat Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 From the article: Routh had some bit parts in television roles on “One Life to Live,” “Gilmore Girls,” “Will & Grace,” and “Cold Case,”Superman was on Will & Grace!!?? *prepares Kryptonite* Originally posted by Treacherous Mercenary Sounds like someone is shooting themselves in the foot. :| Someone other than me?

obi Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Personally I don't think that guy looks that bad. >_> Anyway, enough about my joke picture (which was what it was). I've never seen the guy act, but if he was on will and grace, I dunno..... He certainly looks the part, but looks aren't everything (jokes about my pic aside, please). He looks kind of well.... tiny. Superman is supposed to be 6'2", 220 lbs. (Exactly MY measurements, btw) And this guy looks like he could play mighty mouse. Maybe it's just the picture, I dunno.

Darth333 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 * girl looking around ... * erm... he looks pretty good and it says he is 6'2'' I think he has the superman look: he really reminds me Christopher Reeves when he was young. It's not for The Incredible Hulk, it's for Superman (and Clark Kent) after all! Ahhh...there are jealous men around here (j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Superman 1 with Reeve is fine, and has aged well. I don't think the franchise needs another origin story to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
