In an interview with Collider to promote his role in the upcoming movie, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, the actor was asked how he feels about DC not planning ahead to make his Superman a part of a Justice League movie. He also shared his thoughts on how Marvel Studios has beaten them to it and are in the process of putting their characters together for 2012's The Avengers.

On The Justice League:

"I would have liked DC to have had that because I think that would have issued forth a second movie more swiftly, if there had been a different plan in place with all of the entities that DC has. It’s a great company and the people involved are really great and I want them to have the best and bring their characters to light in a better way. I know they’ve been meeting the last couple years and finding a game plan that works for them so I trust they will have success with that but it’s one of those things."

On The Avengers:

"It’s still hard for me to envision an Avengers movie just because how do you put all of those fantastical characters together? I mean apart they work because they have their own separate universe but creating a universe they all exist in is something that CAN be done but it’s hard for me to imagine."

On Marvel Vs. DC:

"I look forward to seeing it both with them and the DC universe because there’s a place for both of them. DC vs Marvel someday if they can figure how to share the profits!"

"his" Superman...... Hmmmmm..... Did Nolan contact him? lol
As far as the DC vs Marvel movie in like 100 years ( cuz not really any characters have branched out in DC ) I would like to see a funny cameo of Reynolds Lantern Talking to Reynolds Deadpool, that would be funny.

LMAO! They would never figure a way to cut profits.

they're never gonna make a dc vs marvel movie.
why ?
because it has to be made by dc entertainment & marvel studios for it to be done right.
i want to see the x-men charactors involved,but we all know fox own the rights.
almost everything that fox does with marvel charactors is f*cking shit.
if we're lucky one day & the studios can put aside their differences we may get justice league vs the avengers movie.

DC vs Marvel movie, is that even possible? Would Disney/WB do a joint production?

its Bryan Singer fault that Brandon Routh might not play Superman again.

anyway heres the last time both Batman (Christain Bale) and Superman (Brandon Routh) ever met

Maybe they don't want "your" Superman, Routhy-boy because you SUCKED in the role. I would say a "wooden" acting style is just no good. Do us fanboys all a favor Routhy and stay the [frick] away from Superman.

Marvel vs DC would be the most nerdy epic movie ever made. It would never happen though.
AlternateNo4
AlternateNo4 - 8/5/2010, 4:01 PM
i don't think we have any way of knowing whether he would be any good as superman, because he wasn't PLAYING superman... he was playing christopher reeve. even though they downplayed it at the time, everything about SR was a direct sequel to superman 2, from Routh's bumbling-in-the-revolving-door to the way he tilted his chin to his chest and looked up whenever he delivered his lines to Lois.

he might have been fine if he had started out in a reboot... but he didn't. he's screwed because even though it isn't fair, he is a part of the original series... and a reboot needs a new look.

It would be close but D.C. would pull out the win.

@grif- EXACTLY...Routh needs to shut the [frick] up and stop begging for the Superman role back. He's just a pathetic waste. Him, Bryan Singer and those writers for Superman Returns...all of them just a [frick]en waste.

TheGambitFreak - 8/5/2010, 4:08 PM
No @ rsalas Marvel would win because even if the avengers, fantastic four, all spider-man characters, were to die, we still have the billions of mutants from X-men to beat the sh!t out of DC, and yes, Deadpool would make Superman eat his Sh!t!!!!
MARVEL TEAM-UP: Gambit, Daredevil, Ghost rider, and Deadpool FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

DC just doesn't have as many characters as Marvel, sorry.

I think if Marvel vs DC ever happened it would have to be an animated movie and a long one too.
Superman4
Superman4 - 8/5/2010, 4:16 PM
I think they would have better luck with doing just Avengers vs Justice League though. Be awesome if they got the cast from the animated Justice League show and the Ultimate Avengers movie.
TheGambitFreak
TheGambitFreak - 8/5/2010, 4:16 PM
@ KALel3412, In you opinion sure, but Marvel has more characters, so they would win, no matter what!!!!
@Integrity Yeah but wouldn't they be awesome, sure they are both pretty much invincible, Deadpool would take it to his advantage! Deadpool FTW!!!!
Superman4
Superman4 - 8/5/2010, 4:17 PM
Deadpool might have sick regeneration but he couldn't win. Superman would still knock him out once he hit him.

TheGambitFreak - 8/5/2010, 4:25 PM
But the fight wouldn't of ended........ Deadpool would just lay his brain to the side and would get back in the ring. lol And also that is if he ever got to hit Deadpool, to be honest Superman Is old, ok I know I'm gonna get a LOT of crap for this but really, he can't die, Sure Deadpool can't really die either, only can he die on certain occasions, but Superman is overhyped, and there is not enough story line... It's a bird, It's a plane, No It's SUPERMAN WTF!!!!!! old and no storyline..... May the hate begin!

The seven Lantern Corps, Superman, Supergirl, Power Girl, Captain Marvel, Black Adam, and Lobo could defeat the entire Marvel Universe.

I still cant believe that girl was Lois, she never did look like Lois at all man, there was a lot of problems in Superman Returns anyways
