Fail.
I hope Mr. Nolan weighs in and saves this movie becoming a disaster.
Don't trust Snyder.

Re: The Man of Steel
Would it have been that hard to bring back Routh? I don't like the look of this. This is Superman we're talking about. They can ____ up Green Lantern all they want, no one cares, but Superman is a national icon. Why get someone who needs a CGI suit, when there are other better choices out there? For the first time, I would actually prefer Gerard Butler. Shudder...

That's a horrible, horrible, horrible idea. If they want to change Supes make him bigger, not smaller than Reeve.

I hope this is a bad rumor and that Snyder is smarter than that.

Re: The Man of Steel
I don't trust Snyder much. He makes a slick movie, but he never struck me as being very innovative or having a lot of good sense. I kind of wish he would stick to the flashy CGI-infused fare like 300 and Sucker Punch (based on what I gather from the trailer), and stay away from the major comic characters that deserve a director with a bit more. . .substance.

Re: The Man of Steel
Snyder may have a fav but it looks like they'll look at other options as well.
There always seems to be rumors when these types of movies start up on who's in the lead and later down the road the stars say they never knew anything about it.
Its a net thing.
Superman Casting Begins
Don't hold your breath, Jon Hamm fans.

Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder have thrown their glowing green Kryptonian crystal, and now it's only a matter of time before we see where it lands. Which is a very awkward way of saying that casting is getting underway for the Superman reboot.
Deadline reports that the producer and director (and Warner Bros., of course) have begun to cast a "wide net" to find the next Kal-El. Their contacts tell them that the studio is "open to creating a star" for the film, meaning that the actor who gets the gig will probably either be fresh off the bus or from TV, but in all likelihood someone who isn't terribly famous yet. The age range will be 28 to 32, which means that everyone hoping for a Don Draper Superman is out of luck.
Deadline mentions Armie Hammer (The Social Network), Joe Manganiello (True Blood) and Ian Somerhalder (The Vampire Diaries) -- though the site oddly avoids specifically saying they're up for the job.
"The studio expects to look at hundreds of young actors before making a decision," says the site. "Agents who are readying candidates note that hiring an established [TV] series regular might not even be possible. The film will likely begin production around next June, and that shooting schedule could wreak havoc with fall prime time schedules. The studio has to meet that production start date because some of the rights are in jeopardy in 2013."
Speaking of which, The Hollywood Reporter has the latest on the lawsuit between Warner Bros. and the families of Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel over the rights to the character. A federal judge has ended the most recent delay in the litigation, which means that the studio can move forward with depositions of the family members immediately. So stay tuned for more legalese on that front...

Snyder has already said in Empire Magazine that the Internet has got zero right about what is planned for the next movie, and that includes Zod

Re: The Man of Steel
Anyway Matthew Goode would make an excellent Superman. IMO he has the right look, he was easily the tallest actor in Watchman (He was also great in it too), and he would have no problem buffing up for the role. Goode was one of my picks way back in this thread, before Snyder was on board, so I would 100% happy if he does get the part
As for the CGI suit, I say that's BS

Re: The Man of Steel
Are you serious? He was by far the worst in watchmen. In fact he pretty much ruined the movie by reinterpreting his character in a way that completly missed the entire point, making the twist obvious from the beginning.

Re: The Man of Steel
Goode isnt Superman material, I'd rather see Welling take the role before him, and I'm no fan of Welling.

Re: The Man of Steel
I'm really hoping all of this is bull____. Especially the casting. It feels like a bunch of Internet Rumor all combined into one story. Armie Hammer still gets attached to everything DC since Justice League: Mortal and Joe Manganiello has had online petitions asking for him to play Superman for a while now.
