Variety is reporting that Brandon Routh will not the red cape as the world's greatest superhero in the 2012 Superman reboot.
Routh isn't likely to don the red and blue tights again, Snyder said.
This should finally put an end to the "Routhboot" campaign which has raged for years here on CBM.
The studio is hoping to get the new film ready for release into theaters for holiday 2012. That would give the studio two powerhouse franchise films through its DC division that Warner Bros. is trying to breathe new life into across various divisions, starting with next summer's "Green Lantern."
Warners is eager to get the Man of Steel into megaplexes again. The character is not only one of DC Comics' biggest icons, he's also a major revenue generator for the studio through TV shows like "Smallville," videogames and merchandise.
So that settles it, we are getting a new man of steel, and sooner than the December 2012 release date that was previously reported. 2012 is CBM heaven. I really hope the Mayan's were wrong.
