Now everyone is going to be interested in the role since it looks like Warner is getting off their ass about it.

Great choice. Better then fucking Ashton Kutcher at least

"I see Superman as the American Christ, simple as that. No one's yet really on the inspirational possibilities of that idea. After years of cowboys, soldiers, tough private eyes and gangsters at a time in the late 1930s when America's self-image was built around the use of guns as a means to tame a young and restless country - and on the eve of a world war no less - two teenage boys came up with their brilliant notion: an All-American icon hero with a code against killing. Here we have a living flag, who always uses his immense strength and super-intelligence to solve problems without leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. What a forward-thinking, utopian idea that is! Superman as the new world testament!"

Superman is Jesus?

 

[Archaix]

Alas, this would mean a crossover can never happen and the Jesus vs Superman fight must remain speculation.

Father sends super son to Earth. Matches both superman and christian Jesus.

I hope they dont run the Jesus angle. That's so cliche. Superman, The Silver Surfer, Neo, etc etc, get over it already.

Even Christ follows the path of the hero from ancient mythology. Its nothing thats just being done recently.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Superman on a kryptonite cross, that would be shocking.

It would be interesting to have Jim Caviezel as Superman. Certainly he's a good/great enough actor for the job. I just wonder how suitable he would be for the role. I guess you can never tell until/if he puts on the costume. I'm sure many probably didn't think Christopher Reeve was right for the role until they saw him in the costume/movie.

I know it's not new, but I feel it gets in the way of the story. I mean spare me the propaganda, just tell a great Superman story.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Jim is far too cool to play such a crappy character. They should just get Freddy Prinz Jr.

 

[Pattergen]

hahaha

I think Brendan Fraiser is still a candidate. Now wouldn't that be something.

 

[AeroGod]

Fraiser isnt a bad choice. He can pull of a nerdy and a strong superhero type very well look wise, and he isnt a bad actor he just takes alot of poor roles.
