Wow. His hair actually looks good there. Didnt recognize him outside the Emo-ness.

He needs to keep this style.

He looks like a different person in practically every photo.

Sometimes he looks cute, but other times he looks really weird to me. I don't know what it is, but he just looks really strange.

People that complain about him looking too young don't realize that he'll get older, thus looking older, and will make an even better looking Superman as time goes on.

It's like how Harrison Ford looked better as Indy in Temple of Doom than Raiders.

ding ding ding

yup, and if this is all the hype machine has then thats pretty sad...
They keep trying to sell him to the public by having him come out in such things as celebrity basketball games, and award shows where he's given awards which were paid for by the WB...This is no diffrent, and it's why he's on the list. Im not gay but I can tell when another guy is a handsome guy, and Routh is one weird looking guy... He isn't handsome at all, and FAR from Beautiful.

But Because the WB want to make sure that people like this guy by the time the movie comes out they pay for buzz like this... Also since there has been so much negative buzz around this project that they will try to earn fan support anyway they can to try, and save this ship before it sinks on june 30.

Backdrifter
04-26-2006, 03:46 PM

lol the WB are trying to build his Star status up so people won't be so scared of how bad his acting might be when the movie hits.
Still they can do that all they want the facts are the facts, and dude got fired for poor acting from a bad soap... That's just the facts, and that alone is scary enough.
Don't care how much Singer liked him, and stuff... Also doesnt help any that everything he's done before has been on MTV or short cameos on real bad tv shows like Will & Grace & Gilmore Girls... Yes I said REAL BAD tv shows.
Sorry I don't like either show... Seen both don't like either.
Seen both his cameos on those shows, and his acting was pretty bad in both... While he only had 1 line in Will & Grace he looked real bad in Gilmore Girls.
Looked NOTHING like Superman also lol...

lol naw not really im still going to watch the movie regardless but thats just what I think they are doing to help sales.
Im a salesman so I can see why they are doing it.. It's A Smart business move, as for Gilmore Girls, and W&G sorry im just not a fan of those shows, and if you think Routh looked like the man of steel on Gilmore Girls you have issues lol...

But Brandon doesn't even look the same in a set of pictures taken the same day!
His look changes so much from picture to picture its rather freaky, and odd...
Oh, and I forgot but all this is my opinion... We all have our own opinions. Never said it was fact.

A few things:

-It's okay to have a constructive, negative opinion about Routh but this is trolling. You could even joke about it and that's obviously okay as well. I do enough of that on the SV boards, so I know.

-He's an unknown, of course WB will try to boost his status. They did the same thing and had the same problem with Reeve.

-Other talented actors out there today have also been fired early in their careers.

-Don't care how much Singer liked him? Well, he's the professional, and a very talented one at that. Out of all the tapes and auditions Singer watched from the other failed productions, he picked Routh. I think I'll take his word like I did with Nolan about some of the questionable casting choices he made in BB.

-Finally, I'm glad you can tell by one line Routh has said here and there on different comedy shows, that's some great ability..........

So having an opinion is against the law round these parts? :(

I never said anything which I said "was fact" no those were my opinions, and that's not trolling... But if you do enough trolling to know what is, and what's not then I won't argue with you because then I will be trolling.

I also understand that he's an unknown, and thats why they are doing all these cameos at award shows, and mags, and stuff... That's all I was pointing out they were trying to get him known so they could sell him to the public as the new Superman.
Especially since there was negative buzz surrounding this movie from the casting of Routh... They don't want this ship to sink so they will sell him as hard as they can, and that's really the only way your going to build hype with fans so this is nothing new.. Every big movie does this when they have unknown actors in leading roles.

As for BATMAN BEGINS, weird because I never questioned any of Nolans casting choices for Batman Begins... Well Katie Holmes maybe heh but other then that I was 100% behind him with his choices.

I like some of the cast for SR, and I didn't say that im boycotting the movie lol I will be there opening night in the same line as you guys. So whatever call it trollin I was just givin my opinion just like others were on here...
I guess it's trollin when it's a sort of negative post but if its kissing Routh's buttocks then it's not... lol Funny.

As for Ken Watanabe that was AWSOME casting!
I had a feeling that he wasn't Ras when he died early in the film so it didnt throw me off or anything... But I liked him being cast in the movie alot.

Good point. Not that it was necessary but I also appreciate that Routh seemed to have a love for the character previous to getting the role. He already had plenty of Superman knowledge :)

Yes, becasue playing a Superman is a great way to further your career, I don't remember Reeve or Cain being in ANYTHING else that was worth watching

The Kid
04-26-2006, 10:19 PM
well reeve got messed up by an accident so who knows what he'd have done if that crap never happened. He's a high quality actor with loads of class. There's no way his career would sink because he played superman.

Citizen Caine still gets work from time to time. I don't think he's as serious an actor as reeve was though. I don't know much about him, but reeve went to super acting school and did some great movies with some big stars in them. Caine's been on las vegas, a life time movie, a sci fi movie, and superman show. That's all I know about him.

Routh knows the recognition will get him better auditions and maybe make those guys who sit there while you try to read a script for them, maybe take a second look at him if he's actually good in superman at least.

What great movies? bar Superman his acting career was below par (no disrespect to the man or his legacy as Superman) and your right Cain is just a bum :D. You have to remember superhero roles are looked down upon, while a good performance in SR will open up doors, I don't think this movie will have Hollywood chasing him simply because of its genre.

Umm... Dean Cain dropped out of acting for a while to focus on writing and directing. Lois and Clark basically fell into him but his intention in Hollywood was to sell his screenplays. People know about him being drafted by the Bills but they seem to forget he was a Princeton graduate. Not a dumb jock by any means. Holding the record for the NCAA in most interceptions in a year doesn't make him dumb, it just means he was good at football :o

He's actually back into acting again after being on and off. FYI, he just completed a film with Terence Stamp :)

Well ok, his last acting credit is Smallville, but look I remember he made some movies that really impressed me:

Noises Off, I saw on cable one day and laughed a good laugh. That was really good. It had Michael Caine in it and I liked it alot.

and...

ok. shut up. He's a great actor. So what if every film didn't win some pretentious award. His skills are what matter and the only man Routh has to beat to make superman his own is Reeve and if he doesn't I'll be mad.:down:mad: And what's this about superhero movies being looked down upon? By who? Not us. Hollywood looks down on superman? Boo, that's not true...

And oy, there, I never was saying Caine was a bum. I respect the man for being the coolest clark kent ever.

Thats a pretty high bar Routh will have to reach, Reeve IS Superman and I doubt anyone can top that, the best Routh can do is make a new type of Superman akin to what Daniel Craig is doing with James Bond

I agree. I'm very optimistic about SR but I have EVERY doubt that Routh can even approach Reeve, so I've 'calibrated' my expectations just to be pleased with the job he does do if his acting is sufficient. I'll glady accept he's just another variation on Superman and I won't hold it against him if he doesn't surpass Reeve, which like I said won't happen IMO.

Of course not! After all, beauty is in the eye of the beyonder.*giggle* Yup. :up:

look granted this might be the thing but I honestly think this will open more doors for Routh to at least read more scripts... he said it himself in that 13 minute Iowa radio interview that he's been reading a hell of a lot more offered and passed his way.. this means people want him for A-grade projects.

Chris Bale is doing pretty well for himself after Batman and i'm sure that film helped his prospects a little... he's doing I'm Not There with Collin Farrel, Cate Blanchet, Richard Gere, Julianne Moore... he's already completed Rescue Dawn with Werner Herzog and is working with Jackman and co for the Prestige..... if anything, Bale is working with Nolan more times and this way he'll always have a safe haven camp to go to in some fashion.

Look at how Wolverine opened the doors for Jackman... he's friggin everywhere now and has achieved a pretty huge level of success on his own both on Broadway and in film.... the fact that he's already got the money and star power to have his own production company in such a short span is a really cool thing

I'm not saying that Routh will defn become mainstream and as successful as say Jackman, but he's defn got the opportunities coming his way.

Personally I dont care if he becomes an A-lister or not, or what movies he does outside the franchaise.....


All that matters is how he plays Superman/Kal-El/Clark

I never really understand these lists. For example someone like Aishwarya Rai isn't even on it.
