Superman Reboot Fancast

@ Lee777 I thought he would have been great as Cap but I think he could definitely pull off Supes

@ Lee777 Yeah I think Erica would definitely want Tom to be Supes in the movie if she was up for Lois

Erica Durance is the perfect Lois Lane!
Armie Hammer's acting just doesn't cut it for me as a leading role. In all honesty DC should just translate Smallville into a film, I know its a fanboy's dream but lets look at the positives for Warner Bros.:

1. This allows them to skip all origin stories which is advantageous considering the current Superman legal issues.

2. A complete cast with actors who have proved they can play their 'part' and that's what matters even if they have low film cred (which may have just been caused by their degree of loyalty to Smallville).

3. Lets be realistic here, a major reason for our lack of acceptance for Superman Returns was because most fans already have their own Clark Kent, who they view regularly and convincingly every week.

4. New audiences: No matter who plays Superman he WILL be new to the audience. Whether its Tom Welling or Armie Hammer, he will be a new introduction to the wider audience. So why NOT Welling? If he wasn't on Smallville, wouldn't we have found him and pledged for him?

5. Chemistry: Smallville's Lois and Clark have better chemistry than the Lois and Clark in the comic books, enough said.

6. Green Arrow casted: So? Warner Bros already had a Green Arrow film in the works that didn't pan out so that isn't their priority. However if you take the 'SuperMax' plot and place Smallville's Green Arrow in it, it would actually make sense. Why? because whether its Justin Hartley or Matt Damon, Green Arrow WILL be a new character to the audience. So ask yourself, why not?

With the Smallville cast in place for the new Superman, DC will be able to make millions. Look at films like 'Sex and the City' jump into the film business from TV and make millions world wide, how does THAT cast do it? Who (apart from a closed age group of women) watched that show?? Smallville is watched by a wide age and gender range.

They already tried a new cast, a new story, and a new world. Let's try it the easier way this time.

They need to go with a 30 year-oldish Superman. Hammer is too young and really doesn't look much like Superman. He does have the stature though.

"...he doesn't look that much like Superman." What? He looks like a younger version of that Alex Ross Superman picture. If Clark becomes Superman at the end of the first act and is based off Bryne's Man of Steel as rumored any actor over 30 right now is too old. This comes out Christmas 2012.

@NERO Hammer just finished working with David Fincher. Prime time enough?
