Yeah, I read that News of the World article today. It IS a tabloid newspaper, and has posted its fair share of dubious, unreliable rumors, but since they're actually quoting Snyder from an interview they had with him, I'd say we can accept as fact that Snyder did indeed say it. So at least he's acknowledging the support for Brandon Routh.

Yeah if they quoted him and he hadn't said it he could sue, I think its true.
 
More from Clint today over at Moviehole about Brandon Routh possibly playing Superman

http://www.moviehole.net/201027017-brandon-routh-may-stay-on-as-superman

Just quickly, Last week I reported, in Quick News, that a pal at Warner Bros had mentioned Brandon Routh was “still in the mix” – despite the actor’s option having lapsed, and the fact this film’s said to have no “link” to the original – to play The Man of Steel in Zack Snyder’s new “Superman” movie.

Everyone enjoyed Routh’s performance as [both] Superman and Clark Kent in Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” (2006) so no surprise that the young actor might at least get to “do coffee” with Snyder; still, nice to know he is in the mix.

God I really hope he gets a shot! If he does he's my number 1 choice for sure.

I thought he wasnt going to have a chance so I stopped hoping for him, but now that he has a chance....ROUTH FOR SUPERMAN!!
 
He's the perfect choice! Out of any other choices he's the best. Perfect height, perfect look, perfect age! He's got it all!

Agreed, though I'm not going to get my hopes too high.
 
Routh deserves to play the part again! He did nothing wrong. Did an amazing job with what he was given.
There's something so incredibly humble and genuine about him. YES, he should play superman again!

Warner Bros. You're already on a tight schedule and you ****ing know it. Dont waste time searching for a new superman, cause Routh IS Superman!
 
I'm really hesitating believing this News of the World "interview". I mean......it's News of the World! He doesn't divulge this information to Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, AICN, CHUD, Heat Vision, The Wrap, but to News of the World?
 
Right now, Routh looks more like Superman than any other proposed candidate to date. And despite the weak script of Superman Returns, he showed that he damn well can act the part too. Count me in on the Brandonwagon. :up:

Yup, I am not believing it unless Routh and Snyder go directly to the sources you mentioned to announce such "news."
 
i hope they at least take br as backup. not disqualify him right away.

I think it would be so foolish for WB to just let him go right away. I mean, let's look at the fact:

1) It took FOREVER to cast Superman the first time around. Think of how many actors, direcors, and years went by between Reeve and Routh!

2) Routh seems to have unanimous support from the online entertainment journalism community. Additionally, actual filmmakers have already come out saying that Routh should get the part back, particularly Edgar Wright.

3) Getting the part BACK. Routh isn't auditioning for some new role here. He's taking BACK what's rightfully his. He won it the first time around, and he's established himself (at least visually) as the "Superman of Today."

Let the man have his role back!

You forgot to include that he is still pretty much the face of Superman. His image is still used somewhat for Superman even DC artist use him as well.

I think that's also because Brandon REALLY resembles the character from the comicbooks. He also looks so much like the Birthright and Byrne Superman. He's got such a great classic look.

BTW, I love that image of Supes. Would you be so kind to post a link of it please? :yay:


And agreed, compi!
