Rumor has it that The Last son of Krypton's pop-pop will be none other the thunder from down under himself, Russell Crowe. The three time academy award nominee and one time winner (Gladiator) is said to be up for the most famous dad in comicbook mythology--No, nerds, Lord Vader doesn't count as a comicbook dad.
But, at age forty seven and having been out of the leading light for years, the New Zealand born actor has been less than super in the fitness department. Now it looks like the actor is looking to return to form and is partaking in some grueling and intense work-out.
Last sunday, the actor took to his twitter to inform his fans on the work-outs.

Does this mean that Jor-El will make more than just a brief cameo in Man of Steel? If so, I'm glad that Russell Crowe is getting back in shape. Marlon Brando looked like such a sack in Superman 1978.
