Well!!! Looks like Tom Welling Wins.... Look!!! Routh looked good in the suit, but thats all. You could list everything he said in the hole movie on #1 piece of paper. Henry Cavill and Jon Hamm? NO!NO!NO!

From what I'm seeing in Smallville, Tom Welling should be the Man in Steel

I'm not saying that this is my personal choice, but just a possibility I felt like throwing out there, you guys think Sam Worthington could be Superman-he's got the build and charisma and is the right age, perhaps if he grows out his hair from his usual buzz cuts and loses the Australian accent.

By the way from the list above, Brandon Routh would probably be a good choice I think to come back to the role.

Wadey09 - 5/8/2010, 9:25 PM
i went to Google Images and looked at pics of the selected actors in the poll above.
and hard as it is for me to type this.....
it is a tie between.....
Matthew Bomer.

now before y'all excommunicate me or anything lets look at the facts:
this actor is the 32. just 2 years older than Routh (I'm talking to you LEEE!)
while i did like Routh in the role as Superman and would want him back because he did NAIL the role.....
i realize that in a reboot everything is changed. the story, the plot, the cast, and the crew.

now has anyone here seen the TV show Chuck? or how about White Collar? Bomer has performed above par especially on White Collar. (at least that is what i keep on hearing.)

but what sold me on this decision was this pic:


he has a determined look in his eye, he is built for the role, and i believe he has the actin chops to pull it off.
i only have one problem:
his height.
he comes in at a whopping 5 11 1/2in.
that's 4 1/2in too short.
but maybe with movie magic that can be remedied.

Oh here we go again with the multiple pics of shirtless dudes for the sake of making a point. Right about now, I wish I had a giant spotlight with a teabag symbol in the middle. SAVE US TEABAG!!!! SAVE US!!!!!
Wadey09
Wadey09 - 5/9/2010, 1:09 AM
@McLovin
would you believe i picked the pic because of the dude's face?
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/9/2010, 6:12 AM
WADEY @ Lmao dude, thats not MATT BOMER thats BRENNAN from MUTANT X!!!

: D

Don't work i feel for it too, someone renamed the pic on google as Matt Bomer!

WHITE COLLAR is a cool series, see the dude more as a great BRUCE WAYNE when BALES finished though!

Wadey09
Wadey09 - 5/9/2010, 6:21 AM
ah.
thanks @LEEE
stupid Google and their user misnamed stuff!
hmmmmmph!
;p
Wadey09
Wadey09 - 5/9/2010, 6:23 AM
btw then i pick Webster from Mutant X!

JAMES CAVIEZEL AND SECOND CHOICE Jared Padalecki
Flurb
Flurb - 5/9/2010, 7:06 AM
Jared Padalecki would be great for the role! Just with shorter hair.

If this new Supes is going to be dragged through the dirt and struggling with darkness, Jared is built up for the role already! Watch Supernatural, the proof is in the puddin'.
McLovin
McLovin - 5/9/2010, 8:17 AM
Wadey09 - Never heard of the dude. I'm sure that showing that the guy keeps himself in shape is a good may to help promote him as a good choice, but please no more shirtless pics. It sounds like he may be a little too short for the part, but that is not as important as my next question. Can he act? Can he be the lead in such a major blockbuster? That is my major concern when casting any superhero movie.

i know im gonna get trashed for saying this but i think ashton kutcher would be a good superman before you freak take a deep breath and think about it
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/9/2010, 2:00 PM
WADEY @ LOl no worries, Yeah BOMERS a tad small for SUPES though WEBSTER is a big guy, you could believe he is SUPERMAN!

This is the role for BOMER =

Anyone else want to agree with me on Jared Padalecki? :)

...Tom Welling...and Brandon Routh are leading the votes? Are you all girls, trolls and blasphemers or what? W.T.F. people?
And LEEE777, could you alter that pic so that his neck doesn't look long and the S on his chest doesn't suck, and that stupid diamond belt buckle doesn't show up?

Oh, and just to be annoyingly right...

@ Lansdowne5 - You know what? YOU ARE [frick]ING RIGHT! I hate Welling! Brandon Routh is SUPERMAN! Anybody saying anything else is just plain stupid. He got robbed on the idiotic script. I am sure that if he gets another chance he can prove us all that he embodies Kal El and Clark Kent. He deserves another chance! GIVE SUPERMAN ANOTHER CHANCE! Brandon Routh DESERVES ANOTHER CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AITITOS
AITITOS - 5/11/2010, 2:31 PM
we need a superman and not a superboy so the solutions are two JAMES CAVIEZEL AND Jared Padalecki, so stop suggesting all these boys and putting pictures without blouses(think of what will happen when we have rumors for a supergirl movie).Brandon Routh was not bad as superman but if the movie is going to be a reboot i think that someone else should take the role.
