A “MANLY-MAN” SUPERMAN FANCAST--BY DDD

Presenting A Manly-man Superman Casting For Those Who Are Tired Of All The Girlie-boy Superman Guys From Hollywood...“SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL”!

By DDD - Sep 20, 2010 04:09 AM EST
Filed Under: Fan Fic

I for one am sick & tired of all the Pretty-boys Hollywood keeps giving us
for the big, tall, powerful, manly-man that Clark Kent from a farm in
Kansas (by way of a planet called KRYPTON) is!

Ever since the big manly 6'4” Chris Reeves nailed the part Hollywood has
only sent us skinny little pretty-boy underwear models to play the bigger-
than-life iconic Superman. I hate to say it but Ben Affleck is the only actor
they picked to play Superman that has looked half-way manly since Chris
and he wasn't really playing Superman. He was playing a man who played
Superman on TV in the 50's, GEORGE REEVES.

I want to see a tall manly-looking guy as Superman! I want my manly
Superman back, darn it! LOL

So I started looking for someone who was around 6'2-6'3” in TV and
the movies who had a beefy-build, a square jaw, and a somewhat less than
totally fashion-model girlie-boy look! But I didn't want an ancient
geezer like JON HAMM, who actually said he was too old for the part!

That man was none other than TAHMOH PENIKETT who has starred
in two TV shows so far, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, as the rugged
heroic, HELO, who had enough of a spirit of “being his own man” that
he defied everybody and actually still loved his woman and mother of his
baby even after he found out she was a dreaded CYLON!

His character, HELO, was only supposed to be in the first BDG movie
but people said they liked him so much as HELO that they wrote him
into the series!

He then starred in Joss Whedon's DOLL HOUSE as a tough FBI agent
trying to track down ELIZA DUSHKU'S special agent/assassin.

Tahmoh has shown me every aspect of the real Superman/Clark Kent,
toughness, fairness, loyalty and willingness to defy everyone to see
justice done and freedom upheld! He's 6'2½” tall, 35 and actually looks
like a manly-man! LOL

I think he is perfect for SUPERMAN!

Now in my superman-1 movie I wanted a villain who was not just the
same ol' same ol'! You know, like LEX LUTHOR, DOOMSDAY,
BRAINIAC & DARKSEID! And I wanted a guy who could literally
kill Clark Kent DEAD! I want a final battle of epic proportions,
like THE HULK & ABOMINATION battle royale in THE
INCREDIBLE HULK!

I want to see a Superman battle that no one will be able to forget that
lasts a good 15-20 minutes at the end of the movie! Even more brutal,
savage and monumental than the HULK/ABOMINATION throw-down!
No more human-weakling LEX LUTHOR please!!!!!

So I chose the reddish-skinned nasty alien, DESPERO! He can attack
both physcially brutal and telepathically savage! He can attack
SUPERMAN'S mind as well his body! And he can actually KILL Clark!

My movie idea has DESPERO screaming across the sky to earth with
another spaceship following as it roars behind. Coming out of the
DAILY PLANET building Clark, Lois & Jimmy all see them in the sky
above METROPOLIS. Clark says he forgot his cellphone and runs back
in as Jimmy wisecracks about how Clark seems to always run for cover
when things get really scary! Lois tells Jimmy to follow her with his
camera, leaving Clark to fend for himself.

Clark is already high above METROPOLIS watching where the 2
flying craft rush to the ground! Clark flies as SUPERMAN over to
the landing site. He's leaning over checking out the embedded front
craft when a huge whitish-blue humanoid alien hand reaches out from
behind grabbing Clark and tossing him violently into the trees of
this woodland outside of METROPOLIS.

CLARK is flung far away into the woods as he loudly tears a path of
destruction through the brush and trees! He gathers himself, brushes
himself off and flies back, angrily, to the landing site.

The big alien is none other than alien bounty hunter, LOBO. Clark
angrily knocks him into the next county, literally! LOL

Then DESPERO comes from his craft and attacks SUPERMAN and the
rest of the movie and all the ferocious fun begins!

DESPERO is the villain of the piece and LOBO only has a short cameo,
setting him up for his own movie!

Photobucket


DESPERO eventually uses BIZARRO SUPERMAN, under his telepathic
control, to distract CLARK, LEX LUTHOR is just the corrupt megalomaniac
billionaire in the background trying to rid earth of all the aliens,
especially CLARK!

LOIS' dad, GENERAL SAM LANE, disagrees with LEX on how to
deal with the alien threat of DESPERO while LEX builds his powersuit
so he can get rid of DESPERO along with CLARK, himself.

Epic battles and alien destruction is what I want for a SUPERMAN
movie! A villain who can actually kill Clark. And a manly-man as...
THE MAN OF STEEL:

MY Superman fancast entitled,

SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL:


Photobucket



Finally a manly guy for CLARK/SUPERMAN!

SUPERMAN (CLARK KENT): TAYMOH PENIKETT

Photobucket




Deanna is a well-trained and excellent actress who shined in the not-so-
great KNIGHT RIDER! And “Great Cesar's Ghost she's BOMBASTICALLY
BEAUTIFUL! She looks a lot like Olivia Wilde except she has bigger
breastessezz! (That's very important to me!) LOL

LOIS LANE: DEANNA RUSSO

Photobucket


DEANNA definitely has the body and she has the brains too!

Photobucket




Extremely well-seasoned actor for a young man. From the HARRY POTTER
movies. He's all grown up now (he's 22) and would be fantastic for
Jimmy!

JIMMY OLSON: RUPERT GRINT

Photobucket




I can just see this big powerful-voiced man chomping on cigars and bossing
the newsroom around! He's too old to play LEX now but he's perfect for
Perry!

PERRY WHITE: CLANCY BROWN

Photobucket




This is my foremost pick for LEX and I'm sticking with him!

LEX LUTHOR: PAUL BETTANY

Photobucket




Michael Ironside was LOIS' dad on Smallville and is just perfect for the
big screen version too!

GENERAL SAMUEL LANE: MICHAEL IRONSIDE

Photobucket




These two were in THE VALLEY OF ELAH together and just seem right
to play Ma & Pa Kent.

JONATHAN & MARTHA KENT: TOMMY LEE JONES & SUSAN SARANDON

Photobucket




Jeremy is perfect for this role!

JOR-EL: JEREMY IRONS

Photobucket




And this huge man is perfect for the big alien bounty hunter!

LOBO: KEVIN DURAND

Photobucket




THE VILLAINS:

HAWK@ picked this man to voice DESPERO, so how can I go wrong!

DESPERO: CGI + KEITH DAVID (VOICE)

Photobucket




BIZARRO SUPERMAN: TAHMOH PENIKETT

A little added bonus at the end here...

Finally! Somebody else thinks Rupert would make a great Jimmy!

OPTIMUS@--
He's a fine young actor, of course he would!

Plus he's already got the red hair!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 5:30 AM
Thanx, JALL@, Little Buddy!
DESPERO has always been a fave of mine too!
(Damm, I gotta quit watching so much
GILLIGAN'S ISLAND! LOL)

You're choices for Jor-El, Ma and Pa Kent and Perry White are incredible. Really great work on those.

Grint is great too, provided he could do the accent, but most British actors are better at playing Americans than vice versa so chances are he can.

Russo is a great physical match, but I haven't seen her act so I an't mae an informed judgement.

Bettany is good, I'd call him great but I have a hard time seeing him as anyone aside from John Constantine :D

I gotta say, though, as much as I agree with you on what type of actor should be Supes, I don't agree with your lead.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/20/2010, 5:51 AM
DDD @ Wicked stuff dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLZ YES to LOBO btw! : p

Your LOIS chic, I thought was from that new KNIGHT RIDER series b4 I read it, I can see that!

TAHMOH (What a name lol) can see him as SUPES too, dude of course I still like ROUTHY first but I can see him as much as CAVILL gr8 one!!!

All the rest are gr8 even HARRY POTTER boy!

sTILL HAVEN'T HEARD bettany DO A GOOD aMERICAN ACCENT, BUT IF HE CAN i SAY HECK YES TOO!

oops CAPs lol!

One of your best ever castings dude!!!!

I got TAHMOH for SAMARITAN from ASTRO CITY



So of course I can see him as the man of steel too, touch, billion zillion times better than WELLINGTONBOOT thats 4 sure!

: p

Love your ZOR-EL and DESPERO pics dude, [frick]ing A!!!

Big thumbs up! : )

This is a fine fine awesome quality article buddy, pure awesomeness....!!! Yeah I agree too 'MAN OF STEEL' should be the name of the new movie as well!

This movie would be a Kryptonite BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@DDD

nice choices but im not sure about the lead of Superman and Lois Lane. but the other casting is great ;)
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 6:36 AM
Frank@ I thought my Superman would be controversial!
A lot of people who haven't seen BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
and DOLL HOUSE don't know his acting but TAHMOH was
so good in his part in the BSG movie that they wrote
him into the series and he never disappointed me,
anyway!

Thanx about Ma & Pa Kent!
I think that couple is ideal!
TheDarqueOne
TheDarqueOne - 9/20/2010, 6:46 AM
Very well done. I agree that we need a Superman that looks like he can do more than open stuck jars.

Not entirely sold on your choice for the Man of Steel though. Something about his face just seems a little wrong to me. I guess it is because Superman has always been played as a very compassionate and kind person. Tahmoh looks a little bit mean I think.

Oh, and I agree that Ben Affleck was superb as George Reeves.

DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 6:56 AM
Thanks Leee@ Buddy!

Yup, I still like Routh too but that ship has
sailed way around the cove! LOL

I think Paul did an AMERICAN accent in FIREWALL
with HARRISON FORD but I can't seem to recall?
He usually does parts like angels and priests
where his British accent is an actual asset!
But I'm sure he does a fine AMERICAN accent!
You know they do have accent coaches they get
for accents!

It surely would be a blast for us Comic Book & CBM
fanatics, wouldn't it???

Tahmoh is good for a lot of tall muscular comic
book characters. I had him for Citizen Steel in
the JSA. So playing the MAN OF STEEL ain't a far
cry from that part! I think he could nail down
the part of a slightly older manly Superman! I
really do!

I never thought of him for SUPES till the other
day I was watching BSG again with a friend who
hadn't seen it and it just dawned on me that he
could play a manly Superman just fine!

By The Way, Tahmoh is from Canada and is half
English and half Native-Canadian! His mom is
from a tribe up there. So he got his strange
(well, to us it is) first name from his mom and
his surname from his British heritage dad!

SpiderParker14 - 9/20/2010, 7:02 AM
@DDD: Awesome cast. If you do requests, could you do a Secret and/or Young Avengers fan-cast?
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 7:09 AM
JAZZMAN@ Thank You!

I knew some people wouldn't like Tahmoh
for Supes but I think he could do it well!
He's muscular, tall and has that square jaw!
And if you watched BSG he has a huge range
of acting too!

I guess a lot of people didn't watch the
new KNIGHT RIDER (that's probably why it got
cancelled) but Deana was great on there!

I think she's a better actress than Olivia
Wilde who she bears a strong resemblance to!
In fact she said that she is mistook for
Olivia quite a lot!

I wanted to choose two actors who haven't been mentioned much for Clark and Lois! I think
they both are great actors!
6of13
6of13 - 9/20/2010, 7:12 AM
Stellar.

IMO, Tahmoh is a great choice for Superman. Totally agree with you.
I also picked Tahmoh for my Superman for my JLA fancast. Tahmoh is def my favourite choice!
JLA fancast by 6of13

There are just so many factors that says Tahmoh would be PERFECT for Superman and you mentioned those factors.

Rupert Grint FTW



DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 7:16 AM
OPTIMUS@ thanx again!

I've never done requests before but I'm open to it!
Those sound like some fun properties to cast!
I love the AVENGERS so they're right up my alley! LOL

I'll try OPTIMUS@! I prefer the SECRET AVENGERS over
the YOUNG AVNGERS so I'll start to work on them ASAP!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 7:23 AM
Ah, 6of13@, you thought of him too!
I must have missed your JLA fancast
somehow or I would have considered Tahmoh
way before this! I think he's a perfect
slightly older manly Clark/Supes!

Great minds do think alike! We also
both think Black Panther should be filmed
in S. Africa!

Looks like we're both Star Trek fans too (by
your avatar and name)!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 7:25 AM
6of13@ thanx for the link to your
JLA fancast Ill check it out ASAP!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 7:35 AM
Thanks THE DARK ONE@,

Very funny...("do more than open stuck jars") LOL

Yeah, that picture I used for my Superman manip
there was one where he's looking tough & mean for
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA! He has a wide range of
emotional acting! That was the only picture I
could find that fit the Superman body! He does
smile, like when he was tenderly holding his baby
on BSG!

Yeah, it's quite correct...Ben was very good in Hollywoodland, as ol' George!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 7:43 AM
Tea@ you can run but you can't hide!
I could find you anywhere with that
Handsome Devil mug o' yours! LOL

Not everybody can agree with everybody
else all of the time! Man, it would be
a painfully boring place if that happened!

But I'm still gonna hunt you down and
when I find your worthless carcass...
HELL TO PAY!!!!!
LMFAO!

But "granted", I do love the old dapper
Grant One!
Now, in his younger days he
would have made a fine manly Supes!
Dynamo
Dynamo - 9/20/2010, 7:49 AM
This looks really cool. I'm not all that familiar with Tahmoh but he looks really interesting.
6of13
6of13 - 9/20/2010, 7:49 AM
Forgot to mention that I love the idea of a Lobo cameo.
Vafrous
Vafrous - 9/20/2010, 8:04 AM
@DDD...Bad-ass cast
I am now going to Google Despero...
Ryden
Ryden - 9/20/2010, 8:05 AM
Really cool cast, although Tahmoh Penikett may be a good actor I just can't see him as Supes...I think he looks to 'mean' for it. Superman IS a big manly guy, but he doesn;t look like he'd beat you up any chance he gets.
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 8:13 AM
Hamme3tym3@--
Bulbous and huge!
I don't agree!

But why did you just pick on one thing!
You didn't even mention any of my other
cast or my idea of a manly Supes!

You must be one of those guys who wants
a girlie-man Superman like scrawny short
Cavill!

There is no way Tahmoh has a nose like
Krasinski! You wanna borrow my reading
glasses! LOL

So what if he was on Smallville!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 8:17 AM
Thanx Dynamo!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 8:21 AM
Thanks 6of13@!

Yeah, Lobo would make a good
cameo cuz he did get a bounty
to chase Despero down, one time!

It would also set him up for his
own movie without just throwing
him out there on the common movie-
going population!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 8:24 AM
Thanks GambitAce@!

If my fancast causes you to go study things about
the comics then I have done my job! lol

Despero is a wicked badass in his own right!
Like Mogul and Darkseid!

He was one of the first enemies of the JLA!
He can actually almost destroy the whole JLA
by himself!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 8:32 AM
Thanx Ryden@!

Like I said, I didn't think everybody would like
him as Supes but I didn't think he looked THAT mean!
Superman is big and tough but fair and kind and
justice-minded!

When George Reeves played him in the TV series in
the 50's he wasn't all that pretty boy and that's who
I judge all the Superman castings by! I just think
he was the epitome of Superman!

Chris Reeves had a lot of those same qualities as
George Reeves! Chris was a little more pretty tho'!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 8:37 AM
Thanks Anil@! Thanks very much!

Yeah, Tom Hardy has a lot of those manly-man
qualities yet still has a kind of friendly
tough guy persona like Superman has!

They can fix any actor's hair to look like
Supe's but it's his inner qualities that are
most important for the role of Superman!

AshleyWilliams
AshleyWilliams - 9/20/2010, 11:55 AM
AMAZING cast!
I'm glad my Penikett choice went to your head! I knew you'd like it but WOW,I didn't expect you to use it already! I am seriously glad MY choice has actually caught on! You know with you and 6of13 endorsing it! Yay! :)
I WANT SuperMAN GOD DANGIT!

Olivia Wilde is Lois Lane ! BTW tea,you need to start doing a Wilde BOMB! We ALL love some Wilde! :D

Bettany,Brown,Grint,Durand,David(ESPECIALLY this one),and the others are great! Ironside is Darkseids voice though now and forever!

Despero with Luthor would be awesome! I still kinda want a movie with Brainiac and Luthor though.

BRAVO man! This cast is well thought out and jsut AWESOME!
Your best yet IMO!

DDD @ yeah your right about the accent coach thing and hey don't worry about anyone not liking your SUPES pic coz its one of them characters that you will love or h8 just like CAP AMERICA and SPIDER-MAN! Ppl will luv it or not, I for one think its a stellar pick, much better than HAMM and totally better than WELLING, everyones got their favs, but I would be so happy if he did get the SUPES job!

HI 5 again bud, btw awesome GENERAL LANE pick!!

Well, most know I am going to be with you 100% on casting a manly man for the Man of Steel. I am tired of all the same ol' wimpy-looking boy names being tossed around and that includes Routh. :-P I think he and Reeve were too "pretty looking" for Superman. Glad I am not the only one there.

Penikett has grown on me and is better than the regular names being tossed around. He is finally someone who has the strong, chiseled jaw and facial features that should be expected of Superman. I do think there are much better images that show his features more, but I can't access my tinypic account right now to upload them.
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 3:50 PM
Hamme3tyme@ bud, I just don't see the huge snoz on
Tahmoh you see! But I knew some people would not
like him for Supes when I picked him!

I just didn't know that Superman had to have a skinny -skinny nose! LOL

I'm glad you agree on the manly Supes and I get your point!
Thanks!
DDD
DDD - 9/20/2010, 4:02 PM
Samad@ Thanks a lot!

Glad you Googled Deanna and found out for yourself...
that she's got acting chops....and yeah, Yummy,
yummy, yummy!

Man, I'm a sucker for Italian girls! I had an Italian
girl for a girlfriend once named Gina! She had
beautiful dark red hair and emerald green eyes but
man...what a temper!!!!
LOL
