Superman won't be as Successful without Tom Welling!

Agree, but I think Routh deserves a second chance.

ROFLOLMAO

wow, tom welling sure looks cock hungry, hayuk hayuk!! last shot of the season will be him throwing on the cape, which will bring him to his knees, oh wait, he's already there!hilarity ensues......;)

as much as i cannot wait to see Tom don the red and blue at the end of Smallville, i do not believe that Tom Welling can hold up a major blockbuster film.
the same was said about Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven.
and it still holds today.
good film though, i highly reccomend it.
anyway, i would rather see Brandon Routh return as Superman because he was the shining moment in the overall terrible film, Superman Returns.

btw,
if you haven't yet, check out Part V of my Spider-man Fan Fic right HERE!

Can people, actually see another Brandon Routh Supes movie without being distracted by there not being a son....? I dont know. He did get a bad rap from the film..... But i think if its a Chris Nolan godfathered reboot then it needs a new actor. I could deal with it, but i love movies in general. Its hard for your average person to really be captavated, and dive into the movie they are watching at that given time without being distracted by precedent, or cell phones, or their date, or what have you.

BLACK @ Wtf have you got a Routh avatar for LOL?!?

Click Here to read my Spiderman Reboot story. It's is very interesting and you'll really like it.

If Welling does he need's major player's around him...Like what they did with Superman The Movie..speaking of Superman The Movie..If you like it..

I agree with you blackout 100%! :) Even when Mr. Reeves was alive (God rest his sole) he said that Tom would be the best overall choice! P.S - Brandon Routh is wayyyy OVERrated.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOT LOIS AND CLARK REMAKE PLEASE NO MORE

well he won't play supes. he said that he plays clark all these years not superman. he doesn't like the idea of superman that much.

I dont understand how people see Tom Welling as Superman. I cannot see him as Superman, and I've seen every Smallville episode. Brandon Routh DESERVES a second chance. He LOOKS like THE SUPERMAN of ALL TIME - Christoper Reeves, yet different enough to make it his own. Brandon Routh deserves a second chance, and Im going to be really sad if its not going to happen, which I know wont happen, sadly. Zoey Dechanel as Lois Lane would however be a step in the right direction(!) BRANDON ROUTH IS KAL EL!!!!

I'd love to see Tom Welling don the suit on the one hand, because SMALLVILLE is what made me first appreciate the character of Superman. More so in the earlier seasons as you see this superhuman adolescent that can defy the laws of physics-forced to always make sacrafices and maintain control, despite being the underdog. IMO Tom Welling IS this generation's Superman, I agree, but on the other hand, the show has taken so many creative liberties with characters and stories that it would be hard to make a proper Superman movie with it now.

Your article was great by the way, we-worded man!

Tom Welling is Superman! HE IS A GOOD ACTOR AND HARD WORKING.

hey people were down at the fact that christian bale was picked as BATMAN. they were all over him saying how they couldnt see him as THE DARK KNIGHT. and now those people are soiling themselves, the only thing they are talking about are how deep of voice he uses as BATMAN. u can never replace christopher reeves and u damn sure cant replace marlon brando in any of his movies. we dont need another reeves, we need that true SUPERMAN and that TRUE SUPERMAN story. thats what fans love. thats why will never get another T2 type of TERMINATOR without james cameron's story or guidance. can anybody picture SUPERMAN RETURNS without brandon routh acting like christopher reeves? he came from a soap opera for crying out loud. how the hell can u down on tom welling from playing clark kent through his teenage years to early adult hood on a tv show. why wouldnt u want someone who is already in the source material. yeah routh would get the short end of the stick, but its hollywood when your attached to a subpar movie. another question hell who is to blame for DAREDEVIL. i blame the director more than ben affleck but i think michael c. hall would be better as DD just because they need somethin fresh and hes a great actor. everybody blamed affleck for the movie. the director, mark steven johnson i believe, destroyed two great comics back to back (DAREDEVIL & GHOST RIDER). why even give him a chance to destroy another one i dunno. but the nolans are gonna stay away from past mistakes just like they did with BATMAN so expect those attached to SUPERMAN RETURNS to not return. IF brandon routh did steal the show like chris evans did for FANTASTIC FOUR, hes the only one that would be the first in line to return for fox in the reboot and possibly michael chiklis in second, then i can see a legitimate push for him. BUT BRYAN SINGER DEFINANTLY NEEDS A KICK IN THE NUTS. U LEAVE THE XMEN IN THE HANDS OF BRETT RATNER!!??

who wants to wear tights. christian bale didnt want to wear batman's cowl cuz he thought he looked stupid with black makeup over his eyes and now look at him. if he really didnt want to wear tights then why the hell would u take a role about clark kent turning into superman. not many actors like prostetics or extreme makeup on their faces, but they get over it. yes i will go and watch smallville, im interesting in seeing whats going to happen in this 10th and final season. theyre thinking about bringing lex back and clark finally flying. oh and he has changed his mind about the suit cuz they will do whatever the fans want for the final season. and superman isnt young either hes damn near 30 when he wears the suit so he has to look like a man. routh and welling are around the same age, about a two year difference i believe.

There is so much talk about wearing tights. Following current trends, what about armor-kind of suit? Not to stir away from the famous cape and tights, but you know, with all the special effects going on for Green Lantern, Thor, Batman and Captain American Im sure (needless to say Iron Man), I wouldnt be surprised if Smallville (or even the remake of superman) goes that way. That would be kind of a twist, granted it would not follow the comic-typical suit, but an armor-like of similar color/style sounds like a fun twist to it, if done properly. Something that could be even integrated with his body. Anyone agree?? Total BS? Would anyone that is good about this stuff, try to put that together on a picture for us? That would be awesome!!!

i can see that enrygarciavet. it would make sense. and i like what they are doing with the green lantern. the way his suit is and how he uses it you almost have to make it CGI. superman definantly needs to be more modern now, take a page from marvel. they made every movie so far in present day.

Right, bring back Routh!
it was not his fualt the movie did not do very well. He was very good, and Singer nailed it, with casting him.
If not, give the role to Jim Caviezel ( i thing that's how you spell his surname). Best person so far in acting and looks.
And for the villans, keep that idiot Luthor out, it's done so many times. If they have to get old enemies, then why not the evil trio, Zod, Non and Ursa. As a major villan i thing they should think big scale. Like Doomsday, Darkseid, Jax-Ur or Eradicator.
Nuff said!
Oh, and one more thing, atleast let him punch some one this time. Anyone, even Jimmy!

They should keep Brandon Routh,it really shouldn't be an issue after all during batman Forever and Batman and robin...other than the fact that different persons portrayed batman in each of those movies,all the other actors from batman and batman returns were the same. besides it wasn't Brandon that killed the movie or even Singers directing...in the end it was that to much money was spent in making the film.
