I know Superman Returns was not a good movie, but I did really like him as Superman. this crossover sounds like it is going to be awesome

Well he is already on the payroll there so why not? Will he meet himself as the Atom?

Everyone kept expecting Tom Welling return, but using Routh is a stroke of genius. Can't wait for this.

Welling making a cameo as the Atom of Earth-whatever would be a perfect cherry on top.

That would be great, and maybe in a more accurate costume, too.

Agreed. I thought his portrayal of Superman was great and I really liked him in the role.

Thanks for the heads up.

This is exciting, I liked him, too.

Superman Returns had some great moments, but was too lost in its reverence for Donner's original film...and this coming from a guy who co-hosts a podcast about those films.

Unfortunately, the director and the name-star of that film are now known to be less than admirable people most would not want to help provide a vocation for, but Routh was great as Superman. I wish he had more of a chance to make the character his own, and not have the ghost of Reeve so heavy on his shoulders, but he did great with what he was given.

Didn't think they could top Shipp last year returning as the 90s flash, but this will do just fine.

the creepy super-stalker angle didn't help either.

Looks like Burt Ward is making an appearance too.

[PNGwynne]

Really? As whom?

[thunderbolt]

Well, maybe old Robin or maybe Batman. He'd really need to slim down to get into any sort of costume.

[thunderbolt]

Be kinda neat if Keaton appeared as the DKR Batman. There is a rumor that Kingdom Come Superman is showing up, not sure if that is who Routh is playing or maybe they talked Welling into appearing too.

hmm looks like he's on the Batwoman episode of Crisis
