True Blood's Joe Manganiello being considered as the new Superman

[Hector]

He currently plays werewolf Alcide Herveaux in HBO's True Blood...sorry for the "Playgirl" picture...but it's for Superman suit spandex purposes...lol...



His nose seems a bit big...but at least he's not a Chris Reeve clone...if he gets the part...look for a more rugged Supes...

DC Comics may consider Joe Manganiello for 'Superman'

Thoughts?

[madmarva]

he's got the Kryptonian nose.

I like this idea. The dude is big and has the physicality needed for the Superman I'd like to see.

Shave his face, give him some blue contact lens and a spit curl and he would look good as Superman in my opinion.

Another Man***** pic Hec now I'm worried...lol

Yeah he has the build and look....

Not sure I'd like him as Superman. I liked Roth but maybe he'll do a great job and I'll change my mind.

[clemso]

I think that he would make a great Hercules, he has that Steve Reeves look about him

[toys2cool]

I like him, he was on one tree hill and Spiderman, he played MJ's boyfriend Flash remember? and he's in the Taco bell commercials...HEY!! Where did you get that Sandwich?!

Hec, don't apologizrefor the "PG picture" --I've waded through a lot of T&A on this forum lol.

[Meule]

He certainly has the looks to pull it off

[PNGwynne]

Yes, but I feel a bit sorry for Brandon Routh--he def. wasn't the biggest problem in "Superman Returns."

You are right...

[Hector]

I agree.

However...I think it's time to get away from the Chris Reeve look...and unfortunately...Brandon Routh had that look.

However...I think it's time to get away from the Chris Reeve look.

Why in the Heck, would you want to get away from the Chris Reeve look? He was the PERFECT Superman!

BTW...Tom Welling has "that look".

[Hector]

No...that's the whole point of this new Supes...if you want to start from scratch...you gotta get away from the Chris Reeve look...yes...definitely.

I was watching G4's coverage of SDCC and they had an interview with Joe. Mostly it was about True Blood, but they asked him about the rumors of him being considered for Supes and he seemed comfortable with it (like this had been on his mind and he wanted it).
