  • Brandon Routh’s contract to play Supes has expired, but don’t count him out

    Sure, Brandon Routh's contract to play Superman in the next installment (that we're still in the dark about) may have expired, but don't count the man (of steel) out just yet.

    In an interview for the Spanish-language site Omelete, Routh told them, "the term of the contract expired, but if they (Warner Bros.) call me again, I'd go back to the character without thinking twice!"

    I really, really hope Warner Bros. makes the right choice in bringing back Routh. From his goofy facial expressions as Clark Kent, to his supreme stature as Superman, he looked uncannily like a young Christopher Reeve. Do me this solid WB, bring 'em back.

      I don't like it when they change the actors/actresses in any movie. It's just not the same.

      Singer's SUPERMAN was really sucktastic, but Routh was so finely cast, it would be idiocy to dump him now!!

        You see, I liked SUPERMAN RETURNS a lot. I'm a huge Superman fan, so maybe I'm biased, but I thought Singer did a fine job with the film. CGI was incredible. Story lacked at the end a bit, but if you've seen the other Supe films, you'd know to expect a little drama.

          Superman Returns was a great film, it wasn't a great super-hero film. And it wasn't the Superman we needed. But it did a lot right, and some wrong, but Brandon Routh was a baller in the role. He had a passive role in this one, but I could still tell that when the gloves came off he would be a bad ass. Let's hope we get to see it.
