Brandon Routh PROBABLY Won't Ever Play Superman Again

ROUTH IS SUPERMAN!!!

SUPERMAN VS DOOMSDAY!!! ; )

Yer i liked it 2 they jst need 2 use better villins like zod or like leee says doomsday that wud b ace i dnt want singer bk tho i h8 that guy i doubt he cud direct his way outa a wet paper bag.bt roth di a gud job i think played clark really well

HE WAS COOL, HE LOOKED THE PART, EVEN SOUNDED LIKE REEVE, BUT HE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED CLARK WAY MORE NERDIER, OVER THE TOP NERDY JUST LIKE CHRISTOPHER REEVE, CLARK KENT HAS TO BE SO REMOVED FROM THE MAN OF STEEL LOOK TO BE A PROPER BELIEVABLE DISGUISE, REEVES HAD THE SLICKED BACK NERD HAIR AND WAS ALMOST EVERY SECOND BUMBLY AND NERDY..THATS WHAT LEFT ME SOUR FROM ROUTHS PERFORMANCE..ID LIKE TO SEE HIM PLAY IT AGAIN..HIM OR TOM WELLING

tom welling would have to separate the two clarks though because the smallville clark is so different than the supermans clark we all know and love

Yeah, Routh wasnt the problem. He looked great in the Clark Kent get up.

yeah maybe i love smallville i have seasons 1-7, and i would like to see it myself, but it doesnt seem like it would happen but if it does more power to it and ill will deff be at the midnight showing with my superman shirt on lol

No way you are among a few people that enjoyed SR. There are many many many people who not only enjoyed SR but loved it.

We are still holding out hope that WB will come to their senses and re-sign Brandon Routh for a new Superman movie be it a sequel or a re-boot. No one fits the part better than him.

superdog: lol, Zack and Miri was a great movie! Thats actually the only film apart from Returns that ive seen him in-he was pretty funny!

Superman Returns was an awful film but Routh was one of the few good things about it. Theres no need for a reboot (even non comic book fans know the character origins by now) just a new director and writers and forget all that Superman having a son crap from Returns and actually make a new film its own thing rather than trying to copy the 70's films as Singer did.

@Josh

couldn't agree more!! superman returnswas horrible. is it wrong to want a superman movie where he actually punches something...anything? i would love for them to make a new supes movie, but for god's sake can we get brainiac, darkseid? hell i'd even settle for metallo at this point. if they put luthor is a new one, at least let him make bizarro in it...

@ Shaman

LOL, my point exactly

Yes! Bring Routh back for the next installment and (hopefully) the Justice League movie! And I still want Spacey as Lex, because he was GREAT. I just don't want him to be the main villain. Maybe have him running for President or something as a side storyline. I'd love to see Zod, Doomsday, OR Braniac.

Oh, and I hated the fact that the big S on Superman's chest was made of tiny S's. Don't know why...just REALLY bugged me.

Smitty, I agree with you. I thought Routh did great as Superman. I loved Superman Returns, it paid homeage to the films I grew up watching and loving, even though im only 20, and wasnt even born when those came out, its what I saw when I was a kid. Seeing some of the same lines used in the original such as "swell" and the flying safety statistics, it brought back memories from when I watched the originals. For a sequal I want Routh, and yes, more action.

I just wanna see supes actually punch someone

LEE: no because at least in the SV finale there was a little bit of action and a few twists and turns-Returns was just one long, badly acted pile of crap!

I blame the writers for the failure of Superman Returns. The movie business is about making money and paying homeage to the film of 20 years ago is fine and good but its main purpose was to make MONEY like the Dark Knight. What if Chris Nolan paid homemage to Tim Burton's Batman would it had been a success? NO!! Chris Nolan made Batman his OWN Bryan singer and the writers failed to do so thats why they will reboot it. Every sucessfull superhero movie that has came out in the past 10 years has had a supervillian on par with the superhero and what do the writers of Superman Returns give us? Superman Returns had a 250million budget and you mean to tell me the best they could come up with for a plot was Lex with another real estate scheme LOL LOL LOL LOL it deserved to fail. The crew of Smallville with its much lower budget has more imagination than the writers of Superman Returns. I can guarantee that every movie from DC from now on will have the same "realness" feel to it like the Dark Knight. Hancock even had more substance than Superman Returns. Bring in a villian that we have never seen before like Mongul or Darksied. The new Superman movie has to be orgininal and action packed. I believe DC may follow Marvel's lead and have all their movies in the same universe. Superman Returns should have been the sequel to Superman II back in the mid 80s because thats where in belongs.

SR was not bad,but it was not FUN like a supes movie should be=WAY WAY WAY more action
supes reboot+brandon routh+acttion-kate bosworth=awesome movie
they need braniac(new one),parasite,metallo,zod,doomsday,the cyborg+no luthor=awesome movieS

JOSH @ You are truly lost! ; D

there should have been more action no doubt, but the "love story crap" is a staple of Superman! In pretty much every comic Clark/Supes relationship with Lois is the main focus of the story. When hes on earth anyway, obviously the focus shifts when hes space fightin! But i think Singer handled it pretty well, he never got schmaltzy unlike a certain Mr Bay! Bosworth was a bad Lois though, she didnt flat out suck but she was badly miscast. Spacey? was Spacey! He doesnt exactly have many layers as an actor. I would take Rosenbaums Lex over his any day!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! The horrific sin that was "Returns" will be undone!!

@Roar, I agree that the whole Clark/Lois relationship is a staple, but wont you concede that it needs to go mroe the direction of "Smallville" where Lois actually NOTICES Clark, rather than treating him like complete shit?
