Russell Crowe As Superman’s Biological Father Jor-el.

Russell Crowe As Superman’s Biological Father Jor-el.

Casting Russell Crowe as Superman’s natural father in Snyder’s remake Man Of Steel is a stroke of genius. Crowe is this generations Marlon Brando and he has the presence to be Superman’s biological father Jor-el. This may be old news to some but I could not help but to post this again if it was not already.

Not long ago we had an anonymous source saying that Russell Crowe will be dressed like a warrior of Krypton ( He looks more like a Homeless man version of Odin if you ask me ) and according to the pictures below that source was correct.



Some of you maye be shocked because of Russell Crowe smoking but you have to look at the bright side that if Russell Crowe wasn’t addicted to nicotine we would not be seeing the really cool Krypton costume that he is wearing. I can just imagine there will be a very cool action sequence at the start of the film with Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon.



This seems to be one of the cool spins that Nolans story is taking with Supermans origin and I think it’s cool. Like the Mark Waid Superman I think this will have Kent travelling the world and learning humility and eventually the sense of responsibility that will make him step up and wear the cape.



DC / WB are banking on this movie as well as The Dark Knight Returns. If Man of Steel comes out a winner like we all know Batman will, Then DC will still have another shot at a sequel for Green Lantern and many other DC characters (FLASH, JLA, AQUAMAN, PLASTICMAN, ATOM, TEEN TITANS...etc.)

Neither Superman or Jor-El will look like they do in the photos in the movie. Just like what happened with the Captain America pictures and the Avengers trailer. All the editing and post processing will make both of them look great and probably have tons of glow knowing Zack Snyder.

I like Crowe and I think he's an awesome choice but calling him "this generation's Brando" is totally ridiculous.

Is it me or is Crowe looking really chubby? He is definitely not in his Gladiator shape anymore.

All I can say is as a lifelong Superman fan I haven't seen one thing from this film that I'm not excited about. Superman needs this 2013film needs to hurry.

I agree with SKOne. Last time I looked at this pic I didn't notice that Jor-el's suit has a Superman type of suit layered on is arms beneath it, so it'll be interesting to see the connection in the film.
