Superman Returns - full trailer

[Technoid]

Believe he's gone 5-6 years Earth time....

Dr. Mordrid

which means that in order to conduct any kind of "search" must be on par with silverage comic supes when it comes to speed

I love how they use the soundtrack from the old movies

That was quite shocking to find out, the picture looks nothing like him

I agree
I only saw American Beauty, but he had hair in that movie

OK, the trailer looks OK. Brandon Routh as Clark Kent is OK. But Brandon Routh as Superman really made me wince. What's with the voice???

Heroic? No way. Sad? Didn't sound like it. It just doesn't sound right for some reason.

I don't think anyone will ever approach the perfection that was Christopher Reeve in this role. He was as perfect as Superman as John Wayne was as a cowboy.

IMO a transition will be necessary.....just as my generation had to do from George Reeves to Christopher Reeve. 'Tis the nature of iconic characters over time. People had doubts about Michael Keaton and Christian Bale as Batman too....

Bale did have two legs up on other contenders;

1. his performance in Equilibrium had several "Batman-esque" aspects, including looking great in black and being coldblooded in battle. My thought after the 1st fight scene was "wow....this guy would make a great Batman", and the rest of the film confirmed that impression.

2. he had previously auditioned for Robin/Dick Grayson in Batman Forever.

Whilst true, certainly I agree with everything said. But did they really have to make Routh do that awful strained voice as Superman?
