World Would Nic Cage have been a good Superman?

[Noir]

I constantly think about the Superman movies that were never and I wonder about it.. Do you guys think Cage had the stuff to be the man of Steel?

 

[Super Kal]

honestly?...



no.

 

[El Payaso]

We'll never know.

 

[Danny No-Shame]

I know. I've seen it. In my head. It sucked.

 

[Halcohol]

Those pictures make me die a little inside.

They're THAT bad.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

They're THAT bad.

LOL, they are WOFUL, WOEFUL pictures. Some people on the internet have no shame or artistic ability.


As for Cage, I am possibly the one person who thinks he would have been awesome. Not as a Supes in the Reeve mold, ala Routh, but as a more troubled, messianic, alien figure.

 

[blind_fury]

He makes a bad Johny Blaze.

He would make a horrible Superman.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

He makes a bad Johny Blaze.

He would make a horrible Superman.

How are the roles even remotely similar?

 

[Danny No-Shame]

You've seen it then?

LOL are you kidding me? You're actually being serious?

Nicolas Cage is about 15 years too old to be even TRYING to be Superman. Brandon Routh was, IMO, the very best part about Superman Returns, I can't even imagine how much worse the film would've been with Cage instead

It's not cause and effect.

It's like saying K-Fed is a bad actor.

and he's an even worse rapper.

Do have to see Robert Deniro play the the Human Torch to know he's wrong for the part?

LOL, hold your horses there, fella. Read what I wrote. I never said Cage should have been cast in Returns. Or that Routh was not great.

I am only saying that Cage would have been perfect in the role of Superman for Tim Burton's Superman Lives! back in 1998.

Which would have been so radically different from the Superman we know there's no point in comparing him to Routh.

 

[Showtime]

I think it was a terrible case of mis-casting.

 

[El Payaso]

I have thought the same before in other cases... until I saw th actual movie.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I think i wouldn't be able to judge until i actually watched him play the man of steel.

 

[Noir]

Nic Cage for Dead man.

Exactly.

 

[Morg]

Nic as Supes? Nope, he's soo wrong as Clark/Superman

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Nic as Supes? Nope, he's soo wrong as Clark/Superman

Here's the thinking behind it. We all saw Cage as the wussy geek in The Rock. Then we all saw him as the pumped action hero in Con Air. Warner Bros realised not only could he play both roles with conviction, he also has a weird quality to him perfect for what Burton was after.

I watch Con Air and definetly see a guy who could be Burton's Superman.

 

[El Payaso]

What part exactly? I get that he doesn't look like the traditional Clark/Superman. I'm asking other than that.

 

[Noir]

^^^I Think he looks like superman.. alittle..

^^^That is the Supes they were going for with Burton.

 

[captain_jimbo]

To be honest, it depends what we're all talking about here. If you're talking about Nicolas Cage trying to play the traditional "truth, justice and American way" Superman, then frankly it would have been terrible. But I guess what people like Kevin Roegele are saying is he would have been good for a sort of Bizarro Superman, which is how he probably would have been in a Tim Burton film.

Are you kidding? You just described Routh. He's not a Reeve clone despite what people may think.

Anyway, you guys have to admit, the effort would definitley be there. You'd think a guy who named his son Kal El will get the performance down pat. I wonder if instead of bed time stories, he'l get his STM soundtrack, put it on 2. The Planet Krypton and say "You will be different. sometimes you will feel like an outcast, but you will never be alone, you will make my strength your own, you will see my life through your eyes, as my life will be seen through yours, the son becomes the father and the father, the son."

Yes I've memorised that speech, I'm a nerd. I know.
