Man, Brandon is the newest Superman and He does Christopher Reeves Justice!Mr Routh is taking the reins for the Late Christopher Reeve and I for one think that he should be the face of Superman until otherwise! Anyone else is unacceptable!!

^ I don’t think you canceled yourself out, as Reeve and Routh obviously aren’t competing for the role.
I also don’t think you are in the minority to say Reeve’s Superman is better, but Routh’s Clark Kent was better. And since Reeve can no longer do the role, I believe Routh is the best man for the job.
Plus, if you haven’t noticed, Routh has been bulking up. He looks even more like Superman than he did in 2006.
Here he is from three months ago:

I liked Routh as Clark, a little less cheesily bumbbly as Christopher Reeves, but Reeves strength in the way he carried himself as Superman was far Superior to Routh’s. I think I just cancelled out my own vote. I think they shouldn’t revamp it a la The Dark Night…the world of divorced/seperated parents is dark enough, I’m sure someone will come up with a good screenplay.

I still hope that this is what is going to happen. I definitely want to see Routh take on the role again.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?
