why does everyone care so much about punctuation
First: It makes your post easier to understand.

Second: makes your posts easier to read.

It does make a difference because your message isn't always about just what you say it's also about how you say it.

True in life as it is on the SHH boards.

Came across this article this morning. Didn't want to start a new thread for it, but... there's only been six? Really? I would have thought more, but I guess they're not counting VO portrayals (radio, animated, etc.)

Anyhoo, here's the article (http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/artslife/story.html?id=b8fe5cd5-35af-4217-8dd4-4f12c746c0d0). It was a fun read.
Thanks, interesting article...

I picked it up from another message board.
It was not credited otherwise I would have here.
I guess its been kicked around.
Its about as complete a list as I have seen.
There are probably even more obscure players too.

[aka Kal el]

:) Routh Stanks, we should have had JC....Hey! I would love to have seen JC as Supes. But it just wasn't meant to be!! Lets give this guy a break!! Even if he wasn't classical trained like Reeve! I'm sure they have this guy working with the greatest acting coaches around! He will do great! all this negativity is getting us nowhere! We should really be happy that this is actually happening!!!

[jennifere]

Now that we finally have our Man, I genuinely hope that all of us true Superman fans can rally around Singer and this movie and show our support. There are enough critics out there already who probably think Superman is anachronistic, that he's too square for these cynical times. I want Singer and Routh to prove that the Man of Steel is exactly the kind of hero we need right now.

I just want to get this film get started... people and fans have waited long enough... personally, I'm not into who plays who but on how they will execute and give justice to the man of steel... my expectation: it should be a hundred times more better than the original superman movie because if not it will be just another superman spoof film... but I must admit this kid looks very much like Chris Reeve (RIP)

Well that depends on how hard you want to pick your nits. :)
During season three, in the episode "Hereafter," the character that has the ability to "see" people's deaths touches Clark and has the vision of a red cape with a yellow letter on it flying into the bright blue yonder.. I think that should technically qualify him.

I know that there are many people who wanted welling but singer decided on routh so let's see how this film is and then we can decide then if it was a good choice. Smallvile is a tv show of supes youth and should not be used on the big screen. Besides that the writers on sv screwed up by bringing lois in the picture to early.

However, Routh should be given time to develop such a following...

Having said that (and for those who are disappointed with Routh), the possibility still exists that one day someone else, for some particular reason, may don the cape...

but back to the topic, the problem i feel Routh will face is if he can pull of the superman presnce on scrence. we all knwo when we see superman aka when reeve was superman it was liek jesus showed up on screen. that is what i think he will face as a major problem

[IT is Batgirl]

Any actor will be compared to Christopher Reeve.

[Thunder Emperor]

you are missing the point there batgirl

[IT is Batgirl]

You mean because Routh doesn't have a Julliardian resume?

[Thunder Emperor]

what i meant is does Routh have camera preresence. will he make himself memoriable . would I look at him and say yes he look sliek superman not becasue he bulke dup or got his eyebrows trimmed but becasue he makes me beleive he is the character. reember it has nothing to do with acting like the character, casue. that is just following lines. Can he bring that extar something to the role, that makes it the role. like jackman did or even tobey that I serious don't like.

S-V said his screentest blew people away so I assume Routh doesn't suck on screen. Whether or not he has camera presence is not for us to say right now.

It's always up in the air whether or not any actor can pull off the Superman presence. You won't know how they will fare until it actually happens. That is why I give him the benefit of the doubt at the moment (as I have said before, I was 21 when the first Reeve movie was being made...and the first pics I saw of him made me hesitant about that movie).

And as for me...when Reeve first showed up on the screen, Jesus never entered my mind.

[Thunder Emperor]

that is why i said major problem, meaning it is something he has to over come and succed to do the role well.

I like welling but another reason i am giving routh a chance is becasue I am an apiring actor and it good he hit it big, so good for him.but doesn't mean I have to like him lol

I think he meant real life, I swear I saw him flyby my house the other night, wait must be that s*&* I was smoking . boy

no, I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm proving a point/ honestly trying to see if you can still say Routh doesn't look like the character when Welling didn't either pre Smallville. And, no, thats a real picture. It was all over the place in spring 2001

brandon routh is superman...he he he he he...

i never said he doesn't, i think he does but i still don't liek his look,

heck i may never like his look, as long as he can act the part then i will say yes he is superman. look I never liked tobey and still don't but he did a great job on spiderman. I may never have to like the guy or agree with anyone. If he can act the part then i am all for it. please don't tell me he blew away on screen test i still have to see him in my own eyes

Jesus people! Let this bickering die. Welling never wanted to be Superman, Routh obviously did. Routh was hired. End of story. I like Welling far better, and Routh looks like he ought to be bagging groceries at Kroger as far as I'm concerned. But it's all a moot point.

Move on. Watch Welling on Smalliville. Watch Superman in 2006 and see if Routh is any good as Superman.

I just have to see what the Welling supporters say
So, I've yet to see anything out of Routh that looks like he could even remotely play Superman. Doesn't matter. He was hired. End of story.

can't wait to see some of his scene shots. :D

Sorry, but the way I see it, Welling looks far more like Superman than Routh. Welling is taller, bigger, and more muscular. That's even an old picture of Welling and Routh. Welling is even bigger than that now. Here's a small pic from the preview of tomorrow's Smallville episode.

http://img30.exs.cx/img30/2091/bscap177.jpg

You can clearly see Welling has the size that Routh doesn't. Add another 20-25 pounds to Welling's frame, and you have a bigger Superman than Reeve. And here's a recent pic of Welling and Routh. The Welling pic is from 2004. The Routh pic from 2003. That's the closes I could get.

That's my rebuttal to your question why I think Welling would have made a better candidate. It's a moot point now, and it doesn't really matter. Just a movie that will come and go. My finally post on this Welling/Routh argument.:)

[TheSuperBatFan]

Yes, and of course you searched for the worst pictures you could find.

No, actually I didn't, both of those pictures came from a site full of Welling shots, both from Smallville and his modeling days, there were MUCH worse shots than these 2. :D

um... yea, see, that shot of Welling from the first episode, its about 5 months after Welling was cast in the role. Lets look at how much time Routh has before he goes before cameras. Its the end of October, and filming starts in March. Thats, well what do you know, 5 months. The only portion of that that he can't fix is the taller, and its only 2 inches.

the Photo of Routh from the press release is brand new. You add 20-25 pounds to him he's on par with Reeve, maybe not bigger, but you never know how well he'll do in the gym.]

a Very good rebuttal, and I understand how you feel. I was never against Welling, I would have readily taken him. For me, Welling, Caviezel, or unknown, I would have taken any of the above as I trust Singer. It was a no lose situation. :D But I've taken issue with some putting down Routh because he's not Welling. It annoys me when we have no idea how big he'll be, or how much better he'll look in 5/6 months. Atleast wait until you see him in the costume to say Welling would have been better physically.

Oh, and I only took down the pictures as it was saying I had to many in my post so I got rid of them

[C. Lee]

I think you missed the point uGa2000.....TheSuperBatFan's posting of those old pics of Welling was to illustrate that at the beginning of his "Superman" career, he was rather un-Superman looking....much like many are now saying about Routh. At least that's the way I took his post.

indeed that was my point, :D

[jas01724]

um... yea, see, that shot of Welling from the first episode, its about 5 months after Welling was cast in the role.
Not true. He was cast around the middle to end of January or therabouts, and the first episode along with the first promo shots were shot in the middle of March. Less than two months. How he looked in the Pilot episode was how he had looked for the better part of two years before he was cast.

Of course they didn't want a complete powerhouse to play a 15-year-old, but he was still pretty big without ever working out purely for the role. When they cast him, aside from the usual hair and make-up, he looked how they wanted him to without any alterations.

[The Sage]

Not to mention that picture of Routh underneath the Smallville season 1 cover is at least 3 years old. :o

Actually, it's 5 years old.

[Steelsheen]

lets just wait for the first shots of Routh after the makeover (and hopefully with the costume)

if Welling still looks more "Supermanish" than Routh then we really will have something to worry about.

right now lets just chill. :cool:

[superfever]

Clark Kent was only 15 years old in Smallville?! TW doesn't looks that premature, though he is having a baby face.

Now based on this, how can ANYONE not reconsider Routh as he looks now. Routh looks about 1000 times more like Clark Kent than Welling does precasting

I would actually say that those are two of the better pics of Welling.

To give an idea you should just look at the actual pics that were released when Welling was cast, the model pics. They didn't give a lot of hope for Smallville.

The same can be said bout the routh pics. Most of the ones we have seen are 4-5 years old. 6-7 by the time the movie is out. They are also completely out of context. Not one of them (Halloween aside) were with the intent of looking like Superman, but rather looking like a model/Soapstar (this is what most Soap stars go for in their pics as it suits what the producers of the soaps are looking for)

[muscles]

You know I am suprised that this hate towards Routh and Welling and anyone else hasnt gone down with the annoucement of someone being cast as superman. If this keeps going, this forum and board is going to get more divided. Plus I am sure the WB or singer or someone has been on the site with the annoucement of Routh being cast and they probably dont like the fact that we are cursing and dissing on Routh like some people are.

[gdw]

I wasn't doing either. Hope that wasn't directed at me.

I was just pointing out that people shouldn't be so quick to jump an something/one with such stronge hatred.

I see absolutly no reason to jump down Welling's throught, but there is instgation from/towards the Welling supporters. No need to put down Welling himself, he has done nothing.

As for Routh, I'll just point out one thing he has in common with both Welling and Reeve. He, (Routh) just like Reeve and Welling, is not being to widely accepted based on his look when first cast. There was a large number of people upset with Reeve's casting as well as Welling's. Now, they are currently the most recognized as Superman and (young) Clark Kent.

It's one thing to not be too fond of the idea of a certain person being cast, it's another to go one such obserd, and often rude, instulting, and even slanderous rants about it. Let it go. Just wait and see before you attempt to destroy the movies potential, as some of you seem to be.

Have a little faith. Look what happened last time. The only people who seemed as vocally against things like some people around here were the Salkinds. Granted the did a lot to get the movie made, but they also tried really hard to do things that wuld have ruined it. They were the most vocal about not liking the direction that the director was taking the film. I'm not saying that this imediately means that you would be wrong to doubt. Just don't rant and rave. Discuss. Make vaid points rather then obsesive rambelings claiming that you have 'proven beyond doubt' what you believe to be the be all and end all of the fate of the movie.

It is impossible to get anywhere by force feeding your ideas. Take the hint.

[gdw]

It seems we agree.

[The Sage]

I agree completely. :up:

[gdw]

YAY ME. I was right about something. Ramble enough and your bound to say something that sticks. Just like Brando in Apocolips Now.

Have a little faith. Look what happened last time. The only people who seemed as vocally against things like some people around here were the Salkinds. Granted the did a lot to get the movie made, but they also tried really hard to do things that wuld have ruined it. They were the most vocal about not liking the direction that the director was taking the film.

And just to confirm what gdw was saying here, the Salkinds not only wanted someone like Robert Redford or Burt Reynolds cast as Superman, they also had some brilliant ideas (incorporated into the Mario Puzo draft) like Superman chasing after Lex Luthor on a sidewalk. He catches up to the bald man, spins him around ... and realizes that he's been chasing Kojak! Telly Savalas looks at Superman, winks, and says, "Who loves ya, baby?"

Is it any wonder that Superman III turned out so well? Or that they were so opposed to a lot of the awe and wonder that Donner tried to infuse into the first film?

As gdw says, have a little faith. We're getting a Superman movie. And even better, it's also supposed to have one HELL of a shirt rip to reveal the "S" scene (according to production art). I don't know about the rest of you, but that's enough to get me excited. ;)

That certainly gets my vote for best manip (Routh looks terrific). But we all know that I'm biased when it comes to shirt rip shots. ;) :)

[uGa2000]

But I've taken issue with some putting down Routh because he's not Welling.Well, I said that was my last post on the Wellin/Routh argument, and it is. I won't mention Welling in this thread anymore. It's counterproductive.

I will say this. Right now I'm not at all sold on Brandon Routh. However, I will definitely give him the benefit of the doubt. I will wait until I see the Superman film before giving a final judgement. In the meantime, I'll hope for the very best for him and the film.

[SuperDaniel]

It's funny how Brandon Routh became a celebrity in a second! News around the world saying he is the new Superman.

The man has big shoes to fill.

wow....doesn't take much to get you excited then huh?

[KaptainKrypton]

:supes:
Now everyone may freak out, but I want to remind some of the more pessimistic Superman fans about a couple of things....things that make me confident we have our man. I know all of the Caviezel and Welling faithfuls feel hurt, but don't worry. I believe in Singer, and his choice. Before he even remotely had the inclination to develop a pitch to Warner, he ran it by the Donners, the makers of our beloved first epic. Next, everyone said Dick Donner was nuts when he cast an unknown with only a theater background back in 1975 who turned out to be the messiah as far as I'm concerned. And remember this kid was a skinny looking dweeb when he tested (if you want proof watch the screen test on your DVD's guys). Plus, he tested all of the hopefuls with scenes from the first movie, because that's the feeling he's going for, unlike the other mad scientists who have been attached to direct. Also, remember when Singer was putting together X-men people thought he was nuts when he put Jackman as the lead, but now that I think about it, there isn't anyone else who could step in and make the character seem real to me. Hell, he even used Superman as the blueprint for X-men. Singer is just like everyone of us, he grew with the same source material, and he wants to do him justice. I think that all of the false starts and things happened for a reason, I mean this film has been in development since 1989 in some fashion or another. Wait until afterwards to lynch the man. Oh, and just be thankful McGoofball or that loon-pie Burton didn't get a hold of this permanently, or Superman would have a receding hairline, and Lois would double as the frontwoman of Destiny's Child.

[Ruthmarks]

wow....doesn't take much to get you excited then huh?

Still here pissin' and moanin', eh? ;)

Just kidding, Knight. :)

I was making a small joke, but most of the regulars here who've been on the Superman boards for a while know my fondness for the shirt rip shot.

[Ruthmarks]

Oh, and just be thankful McGoofball or that loon-pie Burton didn't get a hold of this permanently, or Superman would have a receding hairline, and Lois would double as the frontwoman of Destiny's Child.

Amen.

Beyonce as Lois ... polar bears fighting Brainiac ... the giant spider (because they are the fiercest f***ing killers in the animal kingdom) ... Superman dies and comes back driving "a really cool car" ... Brainiac's gay stereotype sidekick ... Jon Peters saying that the costume was "too pinkish" ... no flying ... black leather costume ...

Some of those ideas were enough to make people shudder, if not shriek with horror. Appropriate for Halloween that we remember them now. :)

TW is so good! TW is so brilliant!! TW is so perfect!!!

so what? he is only a 16 years old clark kent. and will never get the chance to grow into the MAN. :p :D

[aka Kal el]

:) what i meant is does Routh have camera preresence. will he make himself memoriable . would I look at him and say yes he look sliek superman not becasue he bulke dup or got his eyebrows trimmed but becasue he makes me beleive he is the character. reember it has nothing to do with acting like the character, casue. that is just following lines. Can he bring that extar something to the role, that makes it the role. like jackman did or even tobey that I serious don't like.I think he will! One of the first thing you learn about acting is to not act!! To become that character!!That is why method is such a popular technique!!A good example is "Ray". Jamie Fox doesn't just play Ray Charles. He inhabits him!! This is what every actor hopes to achieve!!! If you are just going thrgh the motions. It shows on your performance!! I think he will do honor to Chris's portrayal!! He knows what a tremendous respons he has!! Bj is a really nice guy! Does alot of charity work!!! No attitude either!! Have faith!!!:)

I am an actor my self, but not everyone has camera presence, anc youknow that your self when you watch various hollywood actor and some do. now in using Jamie foxx as a comparisson.

you... know him?

[aka Kal el]

I wasn't doing either. Hope that wasn't directed at me.

I was just pointing out that people shouldn't be so quick to jump an something/one with such stronge hatred.

I see absolutly no reason to jump down Welling's throught, but there is instgation from/towards the Welling supporters. No need to put down Welling himself, he has done nothing.

As for Routh, I'll just point out one thing he has in common with both Welling and Reeve. He, (Routh) just like Reeve and Welling, is not being to widely accepted based on his look when first cast. There was a large number of people upset with Reeve's casting as well as Welling's. Now, they are currently the most recognized as Superman and (young) Clark Kent.

It's one thing to not be too fond of the idea of a certain person being cast, it's another to go one such obserd, and often rude, instulting, and even slanderous rants about it. Let it go. Just wait and see before you attempt to destroy the movies potential, as some of you seem to be.

Have a little faith. Look what happened last time. The only people who seemed as vocally against things like some people around here were the Salkinds. Granted the did a lot to get the movie made, but they also tried really hard to do things that wuld have ruined it.

Discuss. Make vaid points rather then obsesive rambelings claiming that you have 'proven beyond doubt' what you believe to be the be all and end all of the fate of the movie.

It is impossible to get anywhere by force feeding your ideas. Take the hint.Well Put!!! No let's let this thing die already!!!:rolleyes:

Yes, you can see why a feminine child actor that got lost in episodes of "Will & Grace" and "Gilmore Girls" was cast over Welling...

This isn't the usual complaining followed by apologizing later. I guarantee you that I will NEVER pay to see this Superman movie now that Routh has been cast.

I think another was chosen to keep the incarnations separate, and Singer wanted an unknown in the first place. Let each interpretation be it's own in terms of actors.

I saw Welling last night, I must say his acting has greatly improved. He was really good.

Check out my "Before they were Super" to see Reeve, Welling, and Routh before they took on the roles of Clark Kent/Superman.

[Rob-el]

Anybody who is saying they will not see the movie because of the casting is obviously not a Superman fan, but a fan of some other actor who did not get the role.

Reality is that the role has been cast and all Superman fans should hope for nothing but the best results. No one knows what the performance is going to be like by Routh just as no one could tell what Chris Reeve was going to pull off. Watch the screen tests for Chris and he's skinny and really hadn't nailed things yet.

Singer has a passion for this project which is great! You might not agree with the individual moves he makes along the way but you have to wait for the final product to be able to pass judgement on the overall project. No one knows now what will be so keep an open mind less you be humbled by your close mindedness!

I've said it all along that this movie needed an unknown (a la Donner's strategy) and obviously Singer and WB have come to the same conclusion. It makes complete sense from an audience persperctive as well as a business perspective.

In closing once again I urge all true Superman fans to stay true to the character, (not the actor you may have wanted in the role) and look forward to what hopefully will be a great movie that once again catipultes our favorite Kryptionain onto the great screen! I know I can't wait!

well, as long as you give them a chance and admit to the possibility it might turn out okay, there's no problem with not liking the choices... tell you the truth, I wasn't all that excited about Routh at first, but I am warming up to him little by little.

the problem is the narrow-minded people who already say the movie WILL suck.

I can agree there, but its hard to warm up to a guy with just maips and pics, till i see some hard evidence that he can act and pull superman off i am still skeptical but will give him a chance.

I think we all need to keep in mind that Singer has seen screentest after screen test - something no one on these boards has seen. He's seen Routh's and obviously liked it. We on the boards are discussing (arguing?!) from a vaccuum. Singer's decision was not made in the same vacuum. Donner saw things in Reeve's screen test that I doubt most people could pick up on and quite possibly Singer has had the same insight into Routh's tests. Time will tell but as I said earlier Superman fans should be hoping for the best. Look forward to the movie with great expectations and time will tell.

Again this is all about the love of a character (at least it is for me), not the love of a prefered actor. Looking forward to this movie big time!

yes for the love of the character is why I have the right to argue that Routh to me is not justified till i see him pull a masterful perfomance. I look forwardto a good movie. Mind you I am not a bandwagon follower, there are some her ewho just switch over like some paid them or routh was giving them rice for their hungry kids at home. its just like spiderman, when tobey was cast I was nto pleased and i critized,but he proved me right in spiderman 2, so this patient of waiting you talk about might take a while. with superman by the first movie he better nail it or he is out. an to be truthful i mayy never accept him as superman. but if he does and gives a stella perfomance I can aknowledge that.

but serious, you guys are funny, did you really expect everyone to say we love this guy. we all know how the receipt of other superhero characters where. it takes a while as you have said. but come on lik ei have said before, with no experince to show, boy he must be good, when i look at him i just don't see it. in spiderman's case , tobey ws cast but at least we all know he coould act. thats my problem here, i just don't feel inspired, **** it doesn't have to be welling. but what singer is tell me is to have blind faith in him, please he is not jesus christ,so that is not going to happen. i just have a bad feeling about this, not the movie itself. more on the aspect that routh might be overshaowed by other characters. if that happens then **** its not superman its lex and company with a strong guy in there. :batman:

Nope...I for one did not expect everyone to say they love the guy.....but I also didn't expect the incessant and rampant hatred expressed by many after only seeing a couple of pictures.

I perfectly understand that some people are disappointed that the actor of their choice didn't get the role....and I am allright with them expressing their dissatisfaction, UNTIL, it becomes a continuous monotonous uninformed bashing and attacks upon Routh and his supporters.

Don't because it will only be negative as you lack any objectivity. Routh looks good in this picture, and when he is buffed up and in the new costume is probably going to rock the house. The naysayers will start evaporating into the phantom zone once the official pictures are released in full Supes regalia. You will probably pee your pants with delight once the theatre lights dim in July 06. Just STF up until then please.

I'm guessing most people don't really care what you think. The fact that you cannot let go of your entrenched "Tom Welling will be Superman" stance speaks volumes! Routh will be fine given the chance by some of the whiners around here. Oh! and an open mind helps as well.

I don't need to inspire confidence, I am not in the movie, nor am I directing it. I am confident though, that the people of Hollywood (and Australia I guess) have more than enough talent to create a memorable movie. You my friend do not have a friggin' clue. From the content and tone of your posts I am guessing you are perhaps 16-18. You are not qualified to comment with any authority on the choice of Routh. Singer is a professional director with a pretty good track record imho. I trust his judgement much more than yours.

BTW. The more pictures I see of this guy the better he looks. If I had seen pictures like this a few months ago when his name was mentioned again as a possible he would have been near the top of my list along with Cavill and McP. The one picture I had seen was really old, and he looked very young. It is obvious that he is much older looking than those earlier shots showed.

see now you are getting personal my friend and please don't inisult me by saying i am 18 and not qualified to talk about superman. such sentiment are the kind of things that piss me off. but hey, i give you 1up that at least you are a poilte individual unlike others here. so please stop withthe age thing, icould be old enough to have you as my kid but that is not true. ;) .

look enough withthe heat comminets, i will see the movie, i may never like the guy as superman. so i won't lie to you or anyone,and say he looks like superman. but if he does a great job on the role then its'fine by me.

thunder emperor as an actor, do you really think that TW acting is good and he is the best candidate for superman and he can easily pull off the role?


Serious yes I think he can, casuse I always thought the writing in smallville was lacking, he has also improved over the years. The version of clark kent he plays, is one that can annoy anyone, which in case is partly due to the director choice. As we all know playing superman is diffrent form play clark.

Superman has power and [presence, I was skeptical of that and have thought many time sthat he might not be up to that task full.bu tas off yesterday, i have no doubts, casue from wtaching the eps of smallville yesterday and seein gthat he nailed the mannerism and persona of lionel. was just fantastic. That to me showed he can pull the character of superman. Which is mainly a character of presence, he definely showed presence as he played lionel in clarks body. So I Can safely say that He can. ;)

Physical he is fit for the Role at the moment

Absolutely! If you had seen his terrific performance in the most recent episode of Smallville, you'd have no doubt he can. As for Routh, please present me with the evidence that he can do the role? I've seen him once or twice on the soap, and was not impressed. As I said though, I'll give him the chance to prove me wrong. In fact, I've even read he was so subpar in his perfomance, they replaced him. I don't know if that's true.

not sure if that is true many notions about his performance there. like i said i man never like him as superman, all he has to do is nail the role down pat as long as he does not do a chris reeve impression of clark

Is anyone *really* good in a soap? It seems to me you're either bad or horrible, due to the horrible writing.

We don't need to see the evidence. Singer and co. already have: his screentest(s) which according to Scott, 'blew everyone away.' Singer and WB have enough confidence in Routh as Superman to sign a 3 picture deal with him. That speaks volumes.

Regarding his one-year stint on OLTL: Yes, ABC fired him. Yes Routh was replaced. What some people fail to realize is that the character was written out of the show a year after Routh was replaced. If people even bothered to research online what happened with his character, they would realize that Routh being fired is but a tiny blip in the grand scheme of things. Apparently TPTB wanted Routh's character to go in a different direction. Apparently Routh played Seth too likable. What did they do? Got rid of Routh, which pissed Routh off majorly, prompting him to write a heated post at his site which is available online if you want to read what he said, and replaced Routh with some latino guy who played Seth as a hateful bastard, only to have the character disappear shortly after. From what I gather from articles online about the OLTL character, he was plagued with bad writing and no actor could have saved the character.

There you have it. The whole story. Next time you hear a rumor, get the whole story.

[Outsiderzedge]

According to Scott, Brandon's screentest blew everyone away. As for the rest of us, we'll just have to wait a see since Routh has very little in his body of work.

Too bad, i don't have a chance to change my POV. i'm only be able to watch the first series of the show. if not mistaken, i watched almost all the episodes, you know, super-fever. :D and i don't like the show and him. :( Lex is written so interesting and his acting is shining all the way, totally knock TW out.

How recent is this imdb pic of Routh?

Well, it seems to have appeared on IMDb yesterday. My guess is that it was taken either before the press release release or after, since his hair is styled differently. He seems to be skinnier in this picture though, but that could probably be attributed to the angle the picture was taken.

No, you're mistaken. That's actually Josh Saviano who played Paul Pfeifer on The Wonder Years.

What I loathe about your earlier post is that you said you're "not willing to give (Routh) a chance becasue (in your opinion) you only get one shot at it to do it right." Well, how do you know that Routh isn't the best shot? You don't. You're just sad that someone you wanted didn't get picked which automatically makes Routh terrible in your eyes.

Get over it, son. Its not gonna change. And when Routh gives a great performance, you'll be like "I knew he was great from the start!" :rolleyes:

i didnt have a particular person that i was rooting for to get this role. i like the fact that they want an unknown. i dont like rouths resume. and in my opinion he doesnt look the part and wont make me or younger generations "believe" like we all did when we saw the reeve films.
you had too much of the super kool-ade to jump on board so fast with the first person that they chose.

"loathe"...im saving this post. when the movie does come out or WB comes to their senses,i'll remind you of what you wrote.
i didnt have a particular person that i was rooting for to get this role. i like the fact that they want an unknown. i dont like rouths resume. and in my opinion he doesnt look the part and wont make me or younger generations "believe" like we all did when we saw the reeve films.
you had too much of the super kool-ade to jump on board so fast with the first person that they chose.

who do you like then? what are the things of the project that have made you happy so far?

[The Singularity]

Ever heard the phrase "benefit of the doubt"?

of course. and i guess ill have to beacuse im going to pay my 8.50 at the theater like everyone else.
i just wont be happy about it.

And there was me thinking what a complicated little person you were... seems you just like to moan about things. Pardon me. Carry on.

That comment was not directed at you.

I would have prefered David Boreanez or Eric Bana but they have went for the Toby Maguire boyish look.
still we have to give Routh a chance and at least wait till we see the first trailer:) And then if he sucks:mad: Kill singer:supes:

Time to hush this skinny argument.
Well, it is true that Reeve was much thinner when he tested for the role, no doubt. Either way, he was still bigger and taller than Routh. ;) But like I said, I'll give Routh a shot to see what he can do.

We don't need to see the evidence. Singer and co. already have: his screentest(s) which according to Scott, 'blew everyone away.' Singer and WB have enough confidence in Routh as Superman to sign a 3 picture deal with him. That speaks volumes.As I said, I'm giving him a chance. But just because he was hired, doesn't necessarily mean he can do the role. A lot of actors have been hired to do roles that directors believed they could do. But they didn't. After all, look who Singer hired to play Storm and Cyclops.
