World Most handsome Superman

Guys you can vote too,

You can really see how the idea of what the perfect man looks like has changed thru the decades....eorge Reeves was a barrel-chested, square-jawed man who looked in his 50s....Christopher Reeve looks like a classic film star of the 70's, a man's man but with a feminine side. By teh time we get to Dean Cain, it's becoming all about youth (indeed Cain was dubbed Superboy by the press), and Tom Welling is almost the definition of 'pretty-boy'. Having said that, Welling has obviously matured a lot since Smallville began, and now he looks more like Superman than Cain ever did. So he gets my vote.

I have to choose *other.*

I don't want to mention any names, but he looks freaking incredible in those blue tights.

Ohhbabee, Dean Cain is far from a 'pretty boy'. He was very masculine and handsome, while still maintaining a boy-ish grin when it comes to it.

I always thought he looked like Mr. Turner from Boy Meets World in the pilot, lol.

He didn't need a padded suit like Routh..

You didn't read what I wrote properly. I didn't say Cain was a pretty boy, I used taht term in my description of Welling. I just said Cain looked a very youthful Superman.

This picture of Brandon Routh is very disturbing since he seems to be way too "prettied" up I don't know what the hell Bryan Singer's intent was.

 

[Compi716]

I never understood the choice of hair style for Caine. If his Clark hair was his Superman hair and vice versa, it would have looked much better.

 

[SuperDaniel]

One more thing to show that Clark was the real person and Superman the disguise.

 

[November Rain]

that's the way it always should be, it's not like thor who was sent here on purpose to learn a lesson.

superman is clark kent, a product of upbringing, not destiny or a superority complex.

for the question, i go with christopher reeves.

Superman is not one of us.

 

[November Rain]

of course he is, he's more human than some of us, even those like lex luthor. that's the point of the character.

himself and jonzz are both exiles from another world but while jon sees himself as an outsideer because he came in his adulthood, clark sees himself as one of us due to his earth style upbringing.

this is especially true since the clark kent personality must have come before the superman one, unless that is you believe he thought he was living a lie as clark. If that was the case, then why did he want lois lane to love him as clark and not superman?

He is still not one of us. He is like a human under apes.

We are talking post-crisis "Super"man here?

Whoops sorry.

I can see your point of view, Cain was 26 when he played Superman. Kevin Sorbo was 34 when he auditioned for Superman (he was second). Glad he didn't get the part, he was destined to be Hercules. He'd look ridiculous in the suit and hairstyle.

Some rare pics from the audition (at least I think these are the pictures, lol)

That's Byrne-style mentality. too much "man" not enough "super"

Clark admires humans, and loves humans, but knows he can never BE one. there will always be that divide between him and us but in no way does that prevent him from loving human beings.

Exactly.

BRANDON ROUTH:

 

[p4poetic]

I mean as Superman, not the actor as themselves Those are nice pictures though.

[CLARKY]

I think they are all handsome, Brandon Routh is very handsome but I think Tom Welling and DEAN CAIN are the most handsome ones.
edit :wait , I've checked Brandon Routh pics ... all right all right I think they are all very handsome. Fact is that, being in a serie, I think D.Cain and T:Welling had more opportunitie to play with the sex-appeal of Clark.

Well "Byrne-style" its the "accurate and logical" style. As some of you said, when you are raised by people with distinctive traits, you would share some of these traits and if you have a right mentality, and those traits are good, you will acquire them as your own. It´s like someone like me, was sent to, I don´t know, Britain or something. I would be a mexican, but raised as a British man. Problem is that before comic-writers didn´t care that much for characterization.

The point of Superman is that he was raised as a human, and he is more human inside than most of the adveraries he confronts. But physically, he is not. And because of that he has conflicts with trying to be himself.

I think Routh looks good as Supes. But my all time favorite incarnation would be TAS.
