» TamsenTillson - Brandon Routh as Superman

So Fred, do you mean that this Superman doesn't take himself/itself as seriously as the Christopher Reeve version? In your blog it sounds like the contemp Superman is lighter, but in your article it sounds like serious stuff; Routh ruminating about what he's going to save while flying from a to b and all that....

I was speaking with James Hughes (Film Dramas) about Superman, I think this Brandon Routh fella looks kind of young/boyish to fill Supe's shoes. His pecs look padded under that jumpsuit. (But then again, I suspect Reeves' were as well.)

James said that Routh is more of a man's man, and that he has been billed as "the gayest superman ever." Big market there.

So then I was thinking that Reeve is the older woman's Superman and Routh is the younger woman's and gay guy's man of steel?

Have you heard anything about how the actors playing Superman resonate with auds?
