Superman Returns Does any one know what 6'3" and 225 pounds lean actually looks like?

[Nivek]

He wears his underwear on the outside and your complaining about the length of his sleeves?
....fanboys.

No, I gotta agree with them, it really doesn't look good at all. I like the raised S and darker tones of red, but those sleeves dont look appealing at all.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

ew...i don't like the way that dude drew Superman's sleeves past his wrists.

Ya know...it used to be cool when Lee Bermejo was the first and only guy to do that....but yeah, a little too many other are copying it now....

yeah, it looks a bit feminine...the raised shield is interesting. But the neck is still lower than the SR suit, and the shield is bigger...so it's not a complete bow to the movie, but it is a nice amalgam.

Yeah.....especially now that Supergirl wears 'em like that.

that's wrong. Christian Bale is 6'0 or 6'1 and Routh is at least 3 inches taller than Bale. Routh is either 6'3 or 6'4.

Bale is 6'2, actually. Some say he might be 6'1 1/2......but there's pics to prove he's 6'2.

I'd say the stats they gave on Routh when he got casted are true, he's gotta be 6'4 the way I see it.

 

[Scooter]

Bale isn't 6'2".

 

[C. Lee]

That is pretty damn cool C. Lee. I was happy just to get Perry's vest. I am going to grab the tin of cards they have at Newbury Comics tomorrow. It's 30 cards per tin for 9.99.

I also got a piece of Kitty's dress...but the Superman suit was the best.

 

[newmexneon]

C. Lee did you buy a box or did you just buy a few packs? I bought a box and only got one memorabilia card and it was kitty's dress.

According to [URL="http://www.celebheights.com/s/Christian-Bale-721.html"[/URL], he's about 6.05 feet. Bale has been quoted saying ""I just assumed that I would be around 145. But then I just decided I was going to go for it. It’s just an extra nine pounds, and I can drop that in a week or so. But I’m 6 foot — it’s just not healthy." His own words, case closed.

 

[Ricky_Tan]

no way bale is 6 2

 

[Showtime]

A piece of Kitty's dress aye.

The chance of getting Kitty's dress in a pack is 1 out of 31 packs.

The chance of getting Superman's suit is 1 out of 218 packs.

Perry's Vest, which I got in the pack is a 1 out of 31 packs.

I bought a box.

 

[Whack Arnolds]

Bale is 6'1, Routh is def. 6'4.

Well....Caine is 6'2 and Freeman is 6'3. Bale was equal, atleast visually for me, with Caine. And it makese sense with some of the pics posted from the premeire.

 

[Nightwing1977]

Based on the pics there, Bale has to be around Caine's height at 6' 2". The top of their head quite the same height, even thought Bale's shoulders appear to be lower than Caine. Perhaps Bale's torso is not long as Caine.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, I should remind you all...Bale was alot thinner in those pics than for BEGINS. He had to lose a lot of weight for an upcoming filme RESCUE DAWN. So, in Batman shape....he'd be more built.

 

[Scooter]

Morgan Freeman is 6'2". Bale is 6'0" or under. Lots of actors wear lifts in their shoes, especially the short ones.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Liam Neeson is 6'4, Morgan Freeman is 6'3, Michael Caine is 6'2, Bale looks to be about 2 inches shorter than Neeson and around the same height as Caine (just a tad shorter). so Bale is maybe 6'1.5. that would make Routh at LEAST 6'3, maybe 6'4 (Neeson's height).

 

[Superman79]

I just have to say...these discussions are all valid, but is anyone taking into account posture and how the people are standing? I mean, you can clearly see Freeman is a bit hunched from his full height...yet the comaprisons are all made as if they are standing straight and tall.

Not trying to rip on the discussion, I just wondered how that variable would affect things.

If nothing else, maybe i can help. I go to law school in Des Moines...Routh is supposed to make some sort of appearence at a mall there in a week. I plan on attending. How's about I walk up to him and see how tall he is comapred to me (6'3")...

Also, the fact that they're all standing in a staggered line makes a difference. Even a few inches closer or further away from the camera's position's going to change apparent height and size compared to the other people. You can't just draw a horizontal line across their heads and say "see"?

 

[DorkyFresh]

yup...that's why i picked that picture. Neeson, Bale, and Caine are all standing pretty straight...

Also, the fact that they're all standing in a staggered line makes a difference. Even a few inches closer or further away from the camera's position's going to change apparent height and size compared to the other people. You can't just draw a horizontal line across their heads and say "see"?

if Bale is one inch closer to the camera man it's not going to make that much of a difference. if Bale is a FOOT closer to the camera man THEN it makes a significant difference.

but when all is said and done, we really can't tell how tall Routh and Bale are unless we meet them in person with a tape measurer. all the speculation on this thread (INCLUDING mine) is all best guess...

 

[JBElliott]

I'd say the stats they gave on Routh when he got casted are true, he's gotta be 6'4 the way I see it.

Then you see it wrong. Bale was clearly shorter than every other male lead in Batman Begins: Caine, Freeman, Oldman and Neeson.

Bale looks the be right around 6', but he did work out enough for his part, unlike Routh.

 

[JBElliott]

times , they are a changing....

Not really, Bermejo has been drawing the costume like that for a while:

It's got the raised S shield and the long sleeves. But Bermejo's version, as well as the one above, have a much larger S shield, the "copyright S version" low cut shirt, oval buckle and yellow symbol on the cape and Superman is a big guy. Let's hope time's don't change so much that we see the awful Singer version and the skinny Routh version in the comics.

By the way, I read on this forum that one of the reasons they didn't use the yellow symbol on the cape was because it would have been too hard for the CG artists to pull off. Too bad the CG artists Singer used aren't as talented as the guys at Pixar who have a nice CG flag waving in a Cars/State Farm commercial where there is a banner with the "Cars" logo and the word "Premiere" on it falls on one of the characters, fluttering and rippling and generally behaving exactly like a piece of cloth with lettering on it. I guess Singer didn't think Superman was worth getting the best CG people in the business.

 

[Comicfan]

Reeve 6' 4"

Welling 6' 3"

Routh 6' 2"

Actually I think that it is:

Reeve 6´5"... he was 1.95 Cms

Routh 6´3"

Wlling 6´2"

 

[DorkyFresh]

lol...yet another person who wants a muscle head Supes.

 

[SuperDaniel]

Routh is 6'3". It states this in the official Superman Returns site. Now stop this stupid discussion.

 

[spidoman]

Personally I love the way Routhe looks as superman, it's not big and tough and hulkish, it's smooth, thin, and sophsticated. His body reflects his personality. Makes sense.

 

[JBElliott]

lol...yet another person who wants a muscle head Supes.

LOL...yet another person who hasn't read that many Superman comics. You should take a look at some comics or the great animated series (Nolan and Singer could learn a lot from Timm and Dini (who should have been the ones to make the live action Batman and Superman adaptations)) and see that, much more often than not, Superman is drawn as a "muscle head" (your words, not mine). Too bad Singer et al. didn't do that.
