The Next Superman?

Question

If you were a director and you were given the task of choosing an actor to play the role of Superman / Clark Kent, who would that actor be and what would YOUR Superman film look like?

Answer 1

Tom Welling of Smallville does a great job with his Clark, and it would be interesting to see if he could handle the role of Superman(the confidence, wearing tights in public, disguising his duel ID)

Clancy Brown as Lex(if your going for the President Luthor arc) His Voice work on the animated series was spot on.

Lois: Evangeline Lilly of Lost, she looks like she could pull it off, the toughness, and bravado, yet also going weak in the knees for Supes

The Kents: Reba McIntyre & Michael Gross as Ma and Pa Kent (a Tremors Reunion)

Jimmy: James Kirk: he played Iceman's Bro in X2

Perry White: Fred Dalton Thompson of 'Law and Order'

Brainiac: Ewan McGregor

Darkseid: CGI, Voiced by Michael Ironsides(also an Animated series alumni)

Doomsday: CGI, Voiced by Frank Welker: it's mostly grunts and growls and he is an amazing Voice actor.

obviously you wouldn't need all the Villains, but those are a few off the top to choose from.

as for looks we need a very shiny, futuristic Metropolis(think the technology of the city in 'Minority Report' only 5 years earlier) also reset it back to being NYC or the DC equivalent of NYC

The suit: the suit in "returns" was ok, the \S/ needs to be bigger, and Red maybe lightened a little, The cape looked almost Blood-red, and Supes is too nice for that dark of a suit

Lex should be polished, literally and figuratively, nothing but the best Armani suits, and Gucci shoes.

Lois= Professional, but not styled,She's a working reporter still building her awards case, she's comfortable, but not yet "a name". In Returns she came off as almost having a team of stylists to get her looking like she does

Smallville: needs to be dialed back to a small farming community, 45,001 may seem small to Hollywood people, But I'm in a town of 60,000 + and the Smallville of 'Smallville' is too big. make Smallville 2000-3000, and if you need the 'big city' for the growing up sequence, have a 60-100K city 20 miles down the road.

I just read the novel "Its Superman" By Tom De Haven and it tells a Superman story set in the 1930's depression era USA. with that fresh in my mind I would merge it together with the Doomsday story arc of the early 90's comics.

Answer 2

It'd be an unknown, someone with lots of brains as well as brawn. It would look like the modern-day Superman comic with much of the darker overtones that made Batman famous.

Robert DeNiro would be my Luthor, though. And I'd have a cameo with Batman in it as well, played by Hayden Christensen (?) who just appeared as Annakin Skywalker in the Star Wars series.

Answer 3

Its gotta be Bizarro! keep in options he raise the kryptonite land mass into area nicely for all u comprehend it really is a clue and superboy wil also be there becoz lois's and superman's toddler will advance as a lot as have superhuman stregnth and flight. Batman will also make a cameo!

Answer 4

That's a hard question at this time. Brandon Routh was allright in my book. My Superman film would include Brainac in human form, with a more convincing and sinister persona than Luthor.
