Superman Returns The Official Brandon Routh IS Superman thread.

Geez people, he's wearing a friggin black blazer in a photograph how could you possibly tell what his build is like? Look at his size compared to the other two, Christine Lahti is a tall woman and he towers above her, not to mention the width of his shoulders.

Well, actually, I agree that black is supposed to slim down a person, and as a tall guy myself, I can say that the width of his shoulders is proportional to his height, so it says nothing, but if you look at his neck, you can see that he's slim, but athletic as we know it from previous pictures. As he's gonna build up, his neck should grow widder.

Maybe he is focusing more on the acting than the physical part. Like, maybe he has an acting coach instead of a weight coach. As long as the acting in the movie is good, can't a padded suit and a lot of make-up just do the rest?

 

[IT is Batgirl]

The suit will have a padded undersuit to show definition.

 

[Superclark69]

Even if he has a padded suit, he has to be more built to be believable. Look at Tobey with Spider-Man, he wore a padded suit, but got into weith lifting also!

i have to agree with the others,he is not as big as i would have hoped.But like said you can't realy tell with him in a suit.but even so now is when he should be putting on the weight/size.

its simple he isn't bulk, I am 6ft 2 and weight about 205-210 and when i wear a suit , which in my case is black usually fits. you can see the suit is hanging off his shoulders. i just pray we don't get a magneto version of superman

 

[rdh007]

His height is good, though. imdb (for what it's worth) lists her at 5'10". The bulk may either be hidden, may yet come, or may be Reeve-inated by a great performance and thus not matter.

TE, I'd like to think he's wearing a particularly large suit. Wishful thinking.

 

[Sverdlovski]

He shouldn't look really bulk in a suit, though... it spoils the disguise of Clark Kent...

 

[IT is Batgirl]

It looks like he's slouching for some reason.

 

[johnsonuk]

well if they are going to use a moulded suit then definition is not needed so he may start to pile on the size after christmas.And trust me i know,it is easy to put on weight and size

 

[johnsonuk]

can someone put up a pic from those reeve ones where he was announced.for a comparison.

I doubt you have some of the best personal trainers in the industry helping you out though.

Oh how I wish he was as ripped as Gnillew.

i know how hhe can in crease in size,i know he is going to have a personall team to get him in shape.I know he will have a muscle suit underneat THE suit.But that pic has put the first bit of doubt in my mind.

Yup, I have a bit of doubt too, so I'm going to do some inquiring. I think this picture is a bit misleading because his face does look fuller to me.

I mean, here, he looks pretty big.

Biceps and chest.

If can't tell how big someone is with a flannel shirt on, how can you tell how big someone is with a suit on? I mean really, this argument everyone seems to be having is rather ridiculous.

Can you really tell how huge Bale is in that suit?


Seriously folks, you'd swear they had Jason Alexander as Routh's personal trainer.
