Superman Set To Fly

arock99 writes "After many years of battling various script rewrites, Superman is set to soar again. Various sources (superman-v.com, darkhorizons.com, aintitcool.com) report that Brandon Routh (of Gilmore Girls) has been cast as Superman. With production only a month away, Brian Singer is set to tackle yet another super-hero film after previously having directed both X-Men and X2. Had it not been for his recent passing, Christopher Reeve would surely have been part of the production team in some capacity. Superman should hit theaters around summer 2006."

Q. Whats the difference between Christopher Reeve and someone who tells a Christopher Reeve joke?

A: Christopher Reeve still had some feeling left

It's going to be great.

[ideatrack]

I hear it has a giant spider in it, which Superman fights. They're the fiercest fighters.

It's going to rule!

Re:Aince there is no pic at imdb

[Xpilot]

There's a better pic at superman-v.com [superman-v.com] . The pic at that geocities site makes it look like Superman was outsourced to India.

Re: Brandon Routh Bio

[Black Parrot]

His name is "BJ"
He was a regular on a soap opera
He was a gay guy on "Will and Grace"
He was a dancer in a Christina Aguilera video

How do you go from the above to Superman?

I think Johnny Cash explained it in "A Boy Named Sue".

Have you heard of the curse of Steamboat Willie? Every single person associated with the production is DEAD!

Re:Sick joke, right on time

I didn't know dead people could fly...

You just need the right catapult.

Don't know about that

But Teri Hatcher's breasts were the best Lois Lane breasts ever.

That all depends on whether you prefer them of the

modern rounded or "vintage" pointy variety.

I like the classic pointy ones ;)

Re:Brandon Routh?

[TheViciousOverWind]

He was a good Superman, but Dean Cain in Lois & Clark was even better.

That comment, really must be a good example that drinking and posting isn't a good mix.

Re:Brandon Routh?

[sgant]

yeah, to most people....because most people are young and most people agree that if it's older than 10 years then it doesn't exist anymore.

Yep..

Oh won't somebody please think about the

Dean Cain fans!

They're real

[chegosaurus]

Nothing compared to the pyramids of egypt. Tens of thousands of people worked on those, and all of them died, and we don't even know the circumstances of their deaths!!

How the hell did he try to pass himself off as superman?
"Yeah I'm Superman, I was just in the Carribean getting a tan"

Superman will never equal this...

[From "The Incredibles" trailer:]
Lucius Best: Honey? Where's my super suit?
Woman: What?
Lucius Best: Where - is - my - super - suit?
Woman: Why - do - you - need - to - know?
Lucius Best: [helicopter explodes outside] You tell me where my suit is, woman!

Re:Bad taste

[Scutter]

killing Superman would be just like killing Daffy Duck.

You can't kill Daffy Duck. All you can do is blow his feathers off with dynamite or make his beak spin around with a shotgun blast or something.

Re:Let's not be hypocrites

[narcolepticjim]

I'm very, very grateful that this film won't involve the services of McG. I saw the second Charlie's Angels film, which appeared to be the end product of a cinematic laxative. Afterward I had a good cry and kicked my dog.

If McG had ended up with the film, I probably would taken violent steps to Helen Kellerize myself, ensuring I'd never see Superman ruined.

Bulging Spandesticles.

[Grendel Drago]

And we all remember [ibiblio.org] how bulging spandesticles look, right? Right? ... I still have flashbacks, and my friends don't trust random things I IM them any more...

Re:Brandon Routh?

In the first movie he went north to his fortress of solitude for several years. He can easily have refined his speach to match that of most national news broadcasters. They generally have very little twang or work most of it out after a few years.

Terrible curse

[mitchellandrews]

I agree with the curse, everyone who has been associated with Superman or Clark Kent seem to suffer a terrible fate. Just look at Dean Cain on Ripley's.

Some of us wanted Abe Vigoda

[Orthogonal Jones]

For once, I'd like an OLD superman, who'd rather put his feet up and watch bowling.

And maybe for Lois Lane, we could have Courtney Love with a dye job. Or Margot Kidder. What's the difference, anyway?
