Henry Cavill IS Superman: - Part 4

[JAK®]

Thank god Cavill doesnt look like a bodybuilder. I expect something like Dean Cain's build which , imo, was the best EVER for Superman.

Define bodybuilder, because bodybuilders like Steve Reeve have the ideal look that isn't too much to pull off the Clark disguise and wouldn't look ridiculous.

So I'm guessing that unless shown otherwise, that the length of hair that Cavill was sporting may be what they'll use for MOS?

I'm hoping that they at least straighten some of his hair out.

i'm actually pretty curious how they'll do his hair. no way is it gonna be as neat and styled as routh. if anything i bet they reverse it, clark's hair will be all neat, superman's a bit more messy

 

[elgaz]

Would make more sense that way, Clark's the one wearing a suit and working in an office, not fighting villains and flying at the speed of light everywhere. It really annoyed me in SR when he falls into the water, gets rescued by Lois & Richard, then flys up above the clouds to recharge himself, then dives into the sea floor, then lifts New Krypton into space before falling back to Earth ........ but when we next see him lying in hospital, the hair is perfect.

Welling is probably the closest we've come to someone with the right genetics and structure to have that classic Superman physique on screen.

Dean Cain did better IMO.

 

[JAK®]

Cain was too short (or more importantly, short-looking), Welling trumps him in that regard.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Cain had the best Clark Kent I'v ever seen. His Superman was lacking but his Clark is the best.

 

[bunk]

I always thought Welling did have a good build for a specific Superman, but there isn't just one way to depict his physique. It's actually counter intuitive for him to be too big.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

George reeves was the best.

 

[blueboy2010]

Christopher Reeve looked best as Superman and Clark.
(I know a lot of comic fans don't like the bumbling, clumsy Clark. But you can't deny it was a great comic performance.)

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Am I the only one to notice that both Routh,Welling, and Cavill all kinda have similar faces. Hell Routh and Cavill sound alike.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Just wildly different accents and face structure between them.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Cavil when talks like a American sounds A LOT like Routh. Also they all share similarities.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Everyone forgets george. Maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy.

I couldn't disagree more with the entire of your claim.

I'd say Routh, Cavill and Welling are 3 very very different looking men.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Routh still looks more like superman to me.

Yeah, they don't resemble much at all.

(I hope we get an official pic of Cavill as Superman fairly soon.)

Of course, there are different ways to depict his physique but until recently (the last decade I think) pretty much all comic book depictions of Superman shared certain traits. Sure, they differed in muscularity and size but the basic frame stayed the same. Superman was always tall and broad with a barrel chest. I just meant Welling had the best genetics of any actor so far to fit that general shape. Age him 10 years and slim him down and he would have the Alex Ross/Clint Walker look. Bulk him up and he'd look like the Curt Swan or John Byrne Superman. So on and so forth.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Routh looks like a poor man's Reeve to me. Cavill also looks the most like Superman to me.

 

[DKDetective]

Seconded.

 

[Boosted]

i liked routh. but sometimes what people said was subtle was just wooden.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

The thing with Routh is I always WANT to like him, he seems like such a nice guy... but he has zero presence. I could never imagine him leading the Justice League and he seemed like he couldn't stand up to Bale's Batman at all. I feel bad saying it, but I always thought that if Routh's Superman stood in the back of a room, you'd eventually forget he was there.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Yeah I guess I was trippen but Routh and Cavil(american voice) do sound alike.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

So when he is imitating someone with a similar accent to Routh he sounds like him?


You should have the username Sherlock Holmes.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

But that was how it was written. Not rouths fault. Watch Dolan dog. He's completely different. You may change you're mind. Superman returns supes was written as whiney emo who spies on lois in her home. That is not superman.
