2012 huh, well that gives them plenty of time to come up with a good script. However, will the “dark properties” idea still be in vogue? Maybe the people at Warner have more sense than many think. Maybe riding this out is better than being seen riding the coat tails of a fashion thats already past, which may be the case by 2012..

lol, Isn’t Roger Moore likes twice Craig’s age + though? That’s slightly different - I think the comparison would be to see craig again as Bond in another Bond reboot in the vein of the Brosnan style flicks.

I like Routh and I said a while back I’d to see him back reboot or not - I mean to bring another no name in again I don’t think would work (and if that happened I’m almost positive the film would earn less than superman returns) - and Tom Welling wouldn’t work either.

It’s certainly wierd to see the same guy playing Supes in two lines of superman continuity

Well.. It could be played off as a Prequel, I guess? Superman doesn’t really age, so it would work ( not well, mind you ).

I’m not sure I’m very excited to hear this information.. Something about Supes being tinier than Bats is silly to me.

as long as Kate Bosworth is not retained as Lois Lane, Im a happy man. Plus, if she isnt there, then the whole “Supes has a kid” story can be scrapped effectively.

I’m glad Routh is still Supes (for the time being). He did a good job with the role and deceive as much of a seat in the reboot as Kevin Spacey. Just NO Super kiddo and at least one new super villian.

how about a 007 film, with an aged Bond, played by Roger Moore?

And the only time superman went dark was in Kingdom come, why not make that a movie- it would be the greatest film ever if done right….

This is good news. I really liked the guy as Superman. It ain’t his fault SR was poorly received (pretty much because of lack of action). Routh is solid as the man of steel. I can’t see anybody else in that role. Really, I can’t.

this is a good news to some but a bad news as well, brandon to me did a good job as clark kent but for superman he gotta make him more a strong head leader cause in fact he is one of the leaders in JLA, anyways cheers for brandon that his still in the reboot for now, and i hope he stays in the reboot cause i think with proper script for superman and he has devoted this past years as for the role superman he deserves it and i belive he can pull it off since its a new rebooted superman he’ll have a different and new approach as becoming superman once agian. (im jus 1 of the many fans that can and will accept a reboot of superman for the new generation and will accept brandon routh playing Superman once agian, i cant picture any superman then brandon for the new generation, tom welling nope, the guy who was attached in JLA movie nope, anyothers nope)

Brandon Routh was the only thing I didn’t have a problem with in Singer’s film, he should come back, by the time they film he’ll look a bit older and will be much more comfortable with the part as well.
And e’s gone on record saying that he’d be happy to be part of any Justice League film in the future.
What more could we want?

Yes! Give this man the chance to make an origin story, and re-launch possibly one of the greatest film franchises ever. Now they need capable writers(Millar seems a bit too left field with his ideas, I mean, Red Son wasn’t that good) and a capable director that knows how to deliver. I suggest Spielberg. Think about it-the guy loves making movies about aliens, even when it seems irrelevant, and here he has a chance to tell a story about a hero that is an alien, and tell it in a way that hasn’t been done before. Plus, this movie has the potential to be huge, and that alone is very Spielberg. All things considered, Steve is the man for the job.

I think Routh works pretty well in Superman Returns both as Superman and Clark Kent..
The only mistake they’ve made in Superman Returns is just one: the Superkid’s thing.
So it would be fine (at least for me) if Routh is still join the cast for the next movie.

Branden Routh was NEVER superman he may have played him in the movie but he was definently never superman! So how could he be again if he never was! i was bored watching the first Superman with Routh and i wont even bother to see any others if he makes anymore they are a waste of time!

The only true superman was and always will be Christopher Reeve! He was super even after the superman movies.

I’ll be glad if Routh is still Superman in the Reboot.

YES!! Brandon Routh Is MY Superman. HE HAS TO COME BACK to reprise the role in the next Supes movie. HE IS AWESOME! But it makes me sad that they aren’t making the sequel, since I really liked Superman Returns.

Well good Blueyes you can have Routh. But in my eyes he will never ever replace Christopher Reeve he was that absolute best Superman!

Routh really disapointed me when I seen Superman Returns he didn’t do anywhere near as good as Reeve did! That’s why I don’t really care to see anymore Superman movies.

I am a fan of Christopher Reeve’s portrayal of the character, but more important than that is that I am a fan of the character that he was portraying. The one thing I like about Brandon Routh is the fact that he is a Superman fan coming into the role.

Yeah he has had a tough time with the role, given that he was following in the footsteps of an actor whose portrayal is considered to be the quintessential Man of Steel, the last movie didn’t give him much to do. But to be honest he did good enough with what he had to deal with. Besides I would like to see Routh have another shot at the role and let him shine in it like Reeve did.

The story of Superman is needed these days. He was before any Bat, Spider, or Iron man! Brandon Routh is just as good as an actor as Christopher Reeve to portray this legendary hero. He deserves as many opportunities at it as Reeve had. I think both of these great actors have and do, bring the Man of Steel life and show that Superman is still one of the best comic book heroes ever! It is Routh’s turn to carry this torch.

I like Brandon Routh as Superman. I did not think his performance was flawed at all. The disappointment that Superman Returns was not as big as it could have been was the writing. This will be of subject a bit, but I wish I could participate in the writing process save for spelling. Superman has abilities in the physical world. Superman Returns failed to observe his abilities. Case in point the whole plane catching physics vs. the new Kryptonite planet. That plane weighed much less with no Kryptonite. Second, there must be a reason for Why The World Needs Superman. Superman vs Lex Luthor is like me vs. a slug. Amp up the threat level. Make it alien. Superman is. There that is my rant and in part my rave for Brandon.

Um yeah Chris do us a favor and calculate at what speed material failure should occur, counter balanced against an increasing force produced by Superman opposing the planes fall, keeping in mind the finite distance from point “A” where Superman intercepted the plane and the ground. Don’t forget to factor in all of the planes weight focused on a single wing over the actual surface area used by Superman to attempt to stop it.
