OK so in my other editorial I went into what I think is wrong with the way Hollywood, the new generation of fans and yes even DC themselves view the man of steel but this time around I am going to change track a little bit. I would like to see who is out there as far as actors that meet the necessary criteria. But there are rules, Superman is an icon of Americana that has to be treated with the right amount of respect. You can't just throw somebody out there because you like them or you think they're good looking they MUST meet certain criteria. Below is a list.
Superman is:
6'3" tall ( I thought it was 6' 4")
Weighs in at 225lbs solid muscle.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
OK now that we have the physical description lets get to the personality. In my other editorial I gave a pretty involved description that you can read over there but for the purposes of this one I'll keep it simple. Superman is handsome but not necessarily a pretty boy, he has an intensity about him that is palpable, he is friendly but not overly so, he tends to be serious all of the time unless he is around kids or the elderly. He doesn't smile a lot because when he is in the costume he is "on duty" and wants to keep it on a business level unless the situation calls for something different. That should do it. Start posting your pics (please include names as I am not up on who's who in the acting world these days). One poster from the other editorial offered up Daniel Cudmore who definitely fits the physical bill but I am not familiar with his body of work so?!? OK kiddies WHO DO YOU WANT TO PLAY SUPERMAN?
