I know there is already a thread voting on a 1 to 5 scale about Kal-El, Clark, and Supes as portrayed by Routh but I wanted to make it a little simpler. The two main personas of Superman are Clark and Supes.
Which version did you like better?
I have to go with Clark. It's not that I disliked Routh's Superman version, it just didn't give me much to go on. I think it's the writer's fault more than Routh's fault. As others have mentioned, he was too much of a brooding silent type, which IMO, is the exact opposite of the Superman I imagine. Clark, on the other hand, even though it was ripped from Christopher Reeve's interpretation, I still thought Routh did a great job!
One of my favorite moments of the film is Routh as Clark when Jimmy Olsen asks, "How pissed do you think Superman would be if he knew that?" OMG, terrific timing by Routh on that line!
