Nice interview, not bad at all.

 

[moguy]

promising interview.

Some official casting news will do wonders if it's any good.

The problem is, SV fans are more TW fans than Superman fans.

Exactly. No matter who it is; they will always *****about how its not Welling (and therefore the choice sucks)

ditto

True, but it's my opinion that it's way worse on the SV side by being overly critical of SR, the unfounded criticism of BR, and the overall bias that nobody else could do justice to the role other than TW.

The problem is, SV fans are more TW fans than Superman fans.

Heck they are literally *****ing to WB, e-mailing them, TRYING to form "protests" and "petitions".

 

[Nightwing1977]

If I were an actor, Christian Bale's career is the one I would want mine to be similar to.

Who doesn't?!?

Yep. Honestly, how can one be a Superman fan if they claim they won't see JLA or any Superman movies if Welling isn't in the role? That sound more like Welling fan there than Supes. Even if I don't want Welling as Supes in JLA or another Superman movie or whatever, I will still see it. Why? Because I'm a Superman fan.

Wow! you are sooo SUPER, your fanship is bigger than ours.
Thanks for letting "us" the little sv fans know what time it is.

Does anyone know how reliable "Latino Heat" over at iesb is? These are his two recent posts

WOW I cant believe what im reading didnt I write to wait for an official announcment from warner brothers and that someone threw robert a softball with that script. Nov 18 all youre questions will be answered you marks are something else all youre dreams will come true fan boys

well im hearing through the grape vine that the batman that they cast if you say his name three times he will disapear

Look man ive been reading these boards for sometime now, and with all due respect forgive me if i dont believe you but, how reliable are you Latino Heat, i mean say his name three times, as much as i would like that, i really doubt that Michael Keaton will put on the tights again. But i gues s that ill have to wait and see until November 18, hey Rob can you verify any of this.

Keep up the good work

Thanks

Toad

Someone said that that was his point don't believe everything you read/hear.

It not lunch time, is it? I'm hungry!! Got something in your kitchen?

 

[Milkman95]

It would be a dream come true if they end up doing what I wanted in the first place - a "Kingdom Come" type film with older actors in the roles and having them at the end of their careers.

Keaton or Russell as Batman
Patrick Warburton as Superman
Catherine Bell as WW

Those would be my main three anyway.

 

[GreenKToo]

I like your choices except for warburton. I'd use adam baldwin.

So let's say Warner does a Batman and Robin 2 you'll be happy to see it if Superman is in it ?

 

[GreenKToo]

I don't want to see much camp in this film. A little humor from the Flash is fine, I expect that, but if this film is a campfest like B&R was, then I wont see it, superman or no superman.
Right now i'm just watching and waiting, and hoping against hope that W.B. gets this right.(prays)

The point is, some SV fans assume that a movie will suck only because Welling isn't Superman in it. As of now, they have not enough information to know if the movie will suck or not. To me, this is the attitude of a fan who just wants to see Tom Welling don the tights, and not of a person interested in a good Superman film.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

If they don't cast Tom Welling in this, the only thing that will get me to see this movie is if they do really cast Michael Keaton as Batman.

I wouldn't make generalites.. some Welling fans are maybe more fan of Welling than Superman yup possible ,some others like agent pat just like his take..she is interested Jla under certain conditions other than Welling being in.

Anyways, Welling or not the point is for me : because you are a fan , are you ready to accept anything?

i am interested in a good Superman movie , and i would be really sceptic of a Superman/Welling movie because in my eyes he is not a very good actor.

to give you another example , if the rumored script is real , i will not support that movie.(and i am a Jla and Miller fan )

That's why I said "SOME SV FANS" in my post.

YEs I like Welling and i think he woul dbe great as Superman. But if the JL movie is all teenagers in tights, count me out. As for Welling's acting skills same can be said for Routh. Sorry he isn't that good, and added with SIngers lousy job. He made him look worse. Anyway to each his own. For me there is and always be one Superman C.R. Final.

For me Routh is good , (despite some moment in Sr where he was mediocre , especially at the beginning )and i look forward to what he will do in the future
