That guy looks like a jackass as Superman. I don't know who they should of picked, but definitely not that guy. I was a kid when Chistopher Reeve played Superman, and that is how I will always picture Superman in my head. This guy looks way to scrawny to be Superman.

I was just reading about the movie, and I guess the plan is to kind of pick up this movie where Superman II left off. I don't know, sounds odd at first, but I like the idea. Superman II is one of my favorite movies though.

I always thought that Reeves was to feminine.
I hated that guy as SM.

I agree.
Tom Wellig really fits the roll.

And the guy that plays Lex Luther in the series, Michael Rosenbaum, is Lex Luther.

Routh is from suburban Des Moines, and I guess he's gay, which was a primary reason they cast him...evidently there's some kind of "agenda" involved with the movie...

So are you saying that when the villian in the next SM movie claims that SM sucks, he really means it? :shake:

A "gay" SuperMan?

Good God....... :shake:

First I think that this is a slap to the face of actors like George Reeves and even Christopher Reeve. He not only doesn't fit the part but should not be playing the part in a movie that millions of kids will be watching. IMHO, that's just wrong.

I think that leotard should be purple.

"Screw you, kid."

I'm always thankful of the insight I experience on this board. Before this morning, I never understood that being gay is much worse than committing suicide or supporting stem cell research.

Warpaint99 is Superman

Well, if that's what you gathered from my post, I apologize. That's not what I intended at all.

I am, however, disappointed that an openly gay director has decided to take one of my fondest childhood memories and turn it into a vehicle for advancing his personal and political agenda...

"I should be in this Poof!"

I'd give you rep, but it says I need to spread it around. I just hope we don't have Superman eating a bologna sandwich and having some mayo dribble on his chin.
I expect that if the director is persuing this angle, he will have alot of secondary characters played by gay actors as well. Oh Jimmy Olsen.

Nothing to do with you. I was referring to the guy who said "I think that this is a slap to the face of actors like George Reeves and even Christopher Reeve." I just found that statement pretty humorous with the kind of stuff Reeves and Reeve did.I can't really say anything about that until I see the film. But I don't really care about the director, actor or anybody else being gay. I don't see how that's relevant in any way, unless, as you mention, they have some kind of agenda that in the end ruins the spirit of the source material. But, truth is, I don't imagine that either DC comics or Warner Brothers would allow that. This is a money-making venture first and foremost, and they aren't going to try to alienate any customers.
