The Official Tom Welling for Superman Campaign Thread!!!

[The Major]

Besides, if WB really wanted to cast him as Superman for the movies, they'd have done it a looong time ago.

Not sure if it's true but I have heard rumors online that WB has asked him to be Superman only to be turned down by him.

True. The thing is, we'll probably never know any real truth to what going on. Especially when you read it on the Internet, where people can make up anything & pass it out as "fact".

Im all for Welling. Hes the 2nd best Clarke Kent/ Superman Ive seen on screen behind Christopher Reeve and thats fine with me.

George Reeves was ok but the whole genre was just corny back then.

Dean Cain was a joke.

Routh sucked.

lol, yeah I noticed that I copied the wrong bit. Give me a sec.

 

[Olea]

One more try:

 

[Webhead2006]

kk.

 

[Olea]

This is a very intresting time they chose to release a photo shoot like that!!!

With all the rumours and the "No comments", after this and the reaction of the fanbase, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear his casting in the JLA some time soon.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea or maybe they were taking awhile ago and were due to come out now u know deadline for mag or what not.

 

[Olea]

yea or maybe they were taking awhile ago and were due to come out now u know deadline for mag or what not.

Yeah but a photo shoot usually takes place like 2-3 months ahead, in some cases even less. So if, it's the May issue, they were taken some time in 2008.

The rumours have been flying since November 2007. So he was aware of them, when he participated in the shoot.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea who really knows personally i would like him better then any of the rumored names we have heard, but as i said before if a known or unknown actor who has good acting skills and has the looks to pull of superman i am all for that person too. So my picks are welling, trucco, known/unknown(with skills, look, and presence of superman)

 

[Olea]

Is it possible that the WB allowed this photo shoot to happen to test the waters?

I mean, why would TW shoot a spread like that? His modeling days are long gone, so why would he model clothes? It is not like it's an interview and those are the pics that come with it.

 

[Showtime]

I really think you're reaching here.

Great set though. He looks very Supermanish there.

 

[stargazer]

.

Word.

 

[Olea]

I really think you're reaching here.

Probably. But then again, he doesn't need to do any modeling. It is said that his agents have a new publicity team for him now, so who knows....

 

[Showtime]

It is a spread in a magazine. Routh did the same thing.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea it would be nice if he was for superman in jla or reboot solo film but i get what u are saying maybe he is just making some more extra bucks on the side of smallville.

 

[Olea]

It is a spread in a magazine. Routh did the same thing.

Not exactly. Routh did it while promoting SR. Bosworth too.

What is Welling promoting?

Well he's not promoting JLA?

He's promoting himself and obviously the clothing featured in that spread.

 

[Showtime]

Well that was interesting.

 

[KELLEL]

Well that was interesting.

What is?

 

[Showtime]

The blow up by that poster I just banned?

 

[KELLEL]

What is Welling doing in those pics, guys?

he looks like Superman a lil there too. I thought he was James Marsden for a sec tho...
