Tom Welling as Superman

[triplet]

*sigh*

If this keeps up someone less sympathetic than C. Lee might come in here and close this thread down...

Please get the convo closer back to the thread topic.

Well, as I was saying, if someone black who resembles Superman could be cast & was a hell of an actor, I'd be happy. Of course I wouldn't care if he was white either but I just would like to see more diversity for superheroes.

 

[Justice Bringer]

This thread's destiny is to be closed due to the ignorance of a few people who don't know what the hell they are talking about.

Like that Vegeta_1000 guy

Its been done.

He was part of some crappy earth that got destroyed.

True but having two of the black GL's would do something about that as well as having MM in the JLA film....

That'd be three in one film.

Diversity is never a bad thing.



So, now how's about we talk about wonderful Tom will be as Superman in the JLA film?



And JB:

You are not helping.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Seems like the racist is trying to use what little intelligence he has. Lol, you're funny Justice Bringer, say something else.

Werent you in hiding?

Um welcome back.

Tom's not in the JLA film.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Moving on, Tom actually looks like Superman a great deal & I'm sure he could make his voice deep like Superman, he's done it a few times.

I came out of exile to put a stop to nonsense like you've been spouting.

Um welcome back.

Thanks, I think.

Thank you, Vegeta...

And I agree.

I think Tom would be wonderful as Superman, naturally...



His natural speaking voice is deeper than how he talks on Smallville. I've seen it a few places that he pushes his voice up to make himself sound younger...

Of course he'll be awesome, if he gets the job.

I hope he does.

same thing happened to me actually. I think their servers were wonky yesterday. I posted again today, and it went through right away. You should try again! It doesn't hurt to have more support for Welling at Variety. He's already drumming up a lot of it as it is. Who knows? Maybe WB will listen if enough people make a stink about not casting Welling!

I agree, they may be leaking that Tom's out to test the waters and how ppl react to it. if we continue to make noise maybe finally they will listen.
Casting was a big reason for the almost general apathy that SR created among fans. And especially the fact that the face of Superman (Welling) to many worldwide wasn't cast. They would be extremely dumb if they made the same mistake again. Especially since now they're pissing off not only Welling's fans but SR/Singer/Routh fans...

 

[Justice Bringer]

I'm a Brandon fan but I dont want him in this if Christian isnt in it; it wouldnt make sense.

I'm down with a new actor; it's just going to be tough to cast another unknown.

Theyre asking for a Male, caucasion 18-35 for the role. There arent any knowns available that fit the bill.

Got any suggestions?

 

[Justice Bringer]

I came out of exile to put a stop to nonsense like you've been spouting..

You succeeded.

But the new Family Guy is distracting me anyway.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

heh reminds me a bit of Chris Reeve actually... t:

Very true. In that picture they look similar. In certain angles they look alike. Not that is the reason that he should be chosen. I think they're similar in the fact that both also came up with their own original interpretation of the character and have represented the best parts of the Superman character. I think Chris would have been really proud of Tom. If he wasn't already.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Even though I think Tom would be great as Superman, I think that they should get someone completely new for the role.

Of course he's not. Getting a thread shut down in this forum would make his day. He's Kane, it's what he does. Why anyone still acknowledges his presence I'll never understand. Although I do occasionally wonder if he ever regrets what he did to us here. He obviously loves being here.

Back on-topic - I can't help still clinging to a bit of hope about all this. It just seems so damn obvious that Tom is the best choice for this film.

And that Variety site hates me. My comment still hasn't shown up.

I would do a lot to ease the tension whenever he posts if he would apologize, true.

Oh, I'm sorry....

*hugs*

And Tom is the best choice.

He's got the body, the look, the personality that all suits playing the big guy in blue.



I would be sorry if they didn't hire Tom, but I would live. It certainly won't upset me as much as I was last time.

I hope they see the light of reason and give him whatever he wants to play the part.

He would be perfect.

 

[Whiteflag]

I saw LOSH and OMG! That Superman from the future is beautiful and he looks so much like Tom! I kept thinking how powerful and incredibly attractive Tom's own take on Superman would be on the big screen! *Sigh*

I agree that his voice would be perfect too!

 

[mellyM]

You know I was thinking, no good has ever come from anyone playing Superman, maybe its best the deal isn't going to happen, or probably won't happen.

 

[Whiteflag]

I had mixed feelings about this deal from the beginning precisely because of that. It may be good for Tom not to play Superman on the big screen. Still, I'm sure he'd be awesome! And Superman deserves to be played by someone who could do him justice, like Tom.

 

[TWistim]

I would be so excited to see Tom play Superman In JLA. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather see in this role. :heart:

At the same time, I really want to see him do different things. Getting typecast is a valid consideration. Maybe if they offered him an option to also do a couple of other non-Superman related movies it would sweeten the deal. I think that once the mainstream movie-going public discovers him he will be very successful. He has everything it takes, especially that unique "it" factor that is so hard to describe but when you have it, you just have it. When he is on screen its hard to take your eyes off him. He just draws you in.

I just wish we would hear something definite.

I think him getting type cast would be a danger, but I think he's smart enough to maybe have them include doing other films outside the franchise in his contract...

Welcome back!

Yeah, that would have to be a concern of his. AND if this movie is done right there will be another and if they want to reboot the Superman franchise, as is rumored, playing Superman could go on and on. It would be a shame not to get to see him stretch his wings and do other things.

 

[Billy Batson]

I wouldn't mind The Rock playing SUPERMAN! t:

The Rock + SUPERMAN = Captain Marvel

You know I was thinking, no good has ever come from anyone playing Superman, maybe its best the deal isn't going to happen, or probably won't happen.

I would hate to see "The SUPERMAN curse" befall Welling as well.

 

[musclesforsupes]

Okay,

So I have been away most of the weekend, whats the newest info on this crazy situation, seems IESB isnt posting S**** on it and it seems Robert over there went into hiding or something. Oh the pics of welling a few pages back how come no one went to ask him about the movie if they were taken by someone here?
