Who would YOU cast as the new Superman?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Fraser was reportedly up for it at one point. He's too old now though to start a new franchise as the perpetually young Superman.

Of all the Hollwood name actors, I do think he was the best name I heard mentioned for it.

Brandon Fraser would be a good pick

I wouldn't buy Fraser as Supes. He's too dorky for me.

Routh should be allowed to continue if they are going on with that storyline. He did a decent enough job, not his fault the movie was just ok. Welling should get the nod if they are starting anew--but could that really happen for a few years yet?

[plaztekman]

I agree with the others about Bosworth. She was a crappy Lois. Routh was ok.

Not realy fond of the "kid" storyline. Just curious as to where they can take that in the future.

I agree with Hulk. I think Routh would be ok if he was finally allowed to punch something.

[The Bat]

In a perfect world, they'd also transition Smallville into Metropolis, and let Welling do his thing in the blue and red suit on a weekly basis, bringing back Millar, Gough and Rosenbaum.

Yeah....that would be AWESOME Paul! To bad it will never happen.

[The Bat]

Like many others I liked Routh. Bosworth as Lane killed it for me as she was terrible! Welling? maybe but when I think of Supes I don't think of him as a young man.

They go out of Their way to make Welling look young on Smallville. They put Rouge on His Cheeks. Lose the Rouge, slick His Hair back...and He'll look a lot more like Adult Superman!

[Hulk]

I'd like to see Routh continue as Superman, but now they have the Reeve tribute out of the way, let Singer make a Superman movie with some real action, as he's promised.

I look at the group shot Hector has posted and think to myself that"Dang! the S shield on Dean Cain is bigger than him."

Routh was Perfect in every way. I loved SR! I thought they did a perfect job on SR.

[Hector]

He is now 42 years old.

THe dude in the bottom left is Mike O'Hearn. He's a bodybuilder and has graced every muscle magazine in existence. He's now on American Gladiators.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I'd like to see Welling as Superman. I don't think he'd look right in the costume, and when I think of him, I'd be thinking of a teenager. He just has that look, permanently.

The problem with Superman Returns, in retrospect, wasn't that it was bad; it's that it was BORING. Lois Lane was terrible... she's too young and not grizzled enough to look like a real reporter. I didn't care for the kid, either.

I like Scott's idea of calling a mulligan on SR and rebooting the whole thing with another actor and director (or at least better writing).
