Man of Steel (Pre-release)
- Thread starter streetjudge79
- Start date
Americans have accents?
I don't believe it.
I never heard of the guy, so for me all I will see up there is pure character.
He looks fine enough, assuming he pumps iron like a mofo, which I am sure is standard procedure for such a role.
My understanding is that WB lost the rights to the origin story. They can make a Superman film, but they cannot include baby Kal-El, Jor-El, Krypton exploding, etc.
Damn it, totally forgot about the lawsuit. Thanks for reminding that.

How stupid is that? How can you lose rights to part of the myth and not the whole thing? Just doesn't make sense.
Weird.
But since I didn't want another origins story, I'm not upset.
I assume the character can still say "father" and all that.

The Final Fate Of SUPERMAN: Lawsuit Settled In Favor Of Creators Heirs – DC And Warner Brothers Will Lose All Rights In 2013
More info about that complicated lawsuit.
That hasn't taken hold yet - the reason they are rushing this is to beat the cease date of the material. They want this movie in the can in less than a year.

I feel really bad for him because to me he did nothing wrong as Superman
Poor Routh. He's a one shot, just like George Lazenby.
He'd make a good Luthor.
But please no Luthor, AGAIN!
i thought it was this guy at first
He'd make a good Luthor.

Yeah, I feel bad too...superman will be his only claim to fame and i doubt we will see him in any blockbuster roles...... i liked him a lot as superman and clark kent.....too bad the story and action were lacking.....bryan singer killed superman.......
i wonder who they will get to play Lex Luthor now....
Yep, very weird but as I understand it's true. It's the same as Superboy being considered a differrent character than Superman. Even though it's really the same character at a differrent age.

“As I have already explained, the film will focus on early days of Superman, so there will be no links with other films. This is not a remake then. Similarly, although I still can not talk about the script, I can assure you that this new Superman will not be based on a comic book in particular.”
