poor levi, he had to read all those comments. seems like a nice guy.

^It really is a shame. Not that I am endorsing Levi or anything but he could act rings around Welling(I know I'm not allowed to mention him but I'm selling a point). He has something called charisma.

 

[TheWatcher]

a big mcpart of me hopes McPartlin gets the role. he's visually PERFECT for Superman and even though he's always playing goofy roles, at least he's not a DULL actor (ala Routh). it's easier to tone down overacting than it is to amp up dull acting.

Actually its instigating regardless if your thinking your making a point... you just gave a great example of why Show made these rules.

According to an exclusive story from Moviehole.net they are in fact looking at a known tv actor.http://www.moviehole.net/201025509-exclusive-about-those-superman-rumours

Also, it is a TV star that they're looking at for the lead - but, despite what that article says, I don't believe anyone has actually tested." (He/She has heard nothing of Zachary Levi being considered).

What tv actors might they consider?

 

[Rust]

Was just wondering... Before Batman Begins was Bale a fan-favorite from the beginning or just the fan favorite from the candidate pool? I think I remember everybody rooting hard for him back then.

Was the Bale-choice then provoked by fans?

In that case maybe we can do it again?

You do know that is a story that is almost a month old, right? Go back in this thread to around July 15 and read from there. This is nothing new.

Kicking it off with the only new name discovered in the previous thread I see potential in.

Harmon Walsh. 6'2.5.

Amen to that !

 

[GreenKToo]

heh...you have to be fast on the draw around here..chances are an article will be posted here within minutes (sometimes even seconds) after it first appears somewhere else.

 

[SuperDaniel]

How can anyone see Superman in Manganiello is BEYOND me. He looks like a freakin' *****ebag. Just muscles and no charisma.

Hamm is JUST WAY TOO OLD. And he looks it.

 

[ReTrO JuNkIe 42]

I think Joe M while not the best choice is better then most are suggesting, supposed caveman look or not

 

[GreenKToo]

It would be funny if hamm got cast as superman along with bacon as metallo, lol

 

[Rust]

Here are some possible new faces in here. We need it. Or I need it... Tv-actors or not.

Corey Sevier (6' 1" (1.85 m)

Eric Dane (6' 0¾" (1.85 m)

Paul Walker (6' 1¼" (1.86 m)

Matthew Davis (6' 1" (1.85 m)

James Lafferty (6' 2" (1.88 m)

David Conrad (6' 1" (1.85 m)

 

[SuperDaniel]

Hell No to Paul Walker. Maybe he could be the Flash or something.

Doesn't really sound all that into it does he?

 

[Young Superman]

Here James Lafferty (6' 2" (1.88 m)

I think he'd make a good Superman.

 

[db85usa]

I saw Joe M in True Blood and I gotta say. I really don't see Superman at all. I just see a big tall italian looking guy. With that said, as far as complete unknowns go, I still like Harmon Walsh.

 

[betamox]

No he doesn't !

 

[elgaz]

+1 for James Lafferty. He's got the height and somewhat the look, just needs bulking up a bit. He's also one of those guys who manages to look warm/kind.

Did you guys see the date on that? 2/24/10.

Agreed, plus he's got natural blue eyes.

Do you think 6 months would change his raw opinion that much?

I can hear someone say "No, but a big WB payday would!"

Well, that's a hard thing to swallow, because that date means, before the hype -- before the forum campaigns, rumors, and headlines -- Hamm wasn't really into the idea.

Don't you want somebody who gets it? I mean really GETS it?

 

[BruceWanner]

John Krasinski is one of the only known actors IMO who has the stature (6'3''), the charm, and the acting ability to deftly pull off Clark.
