Brandon Routh was still a better Superman than Cavill. Far better.

And compared to MoS, BvS and Justice League, Superman Returns is a masterpiece.

Brandon Routh will be Superman again.

Superman Returns, soon.
Routh did a good job impersonating Christopher Reeve playing as Superman.

And Henry did a good job at being stiff, creepy, surly, and scowling. If that's what you look for in Superman.

The lighter moments of JL felt like such a departure, that he came across as alien, something mimicking human emotion. He couldn't pull it off.

I prefer the Big Blue Boyscout and would like to see Brandon Routh return. I don't need evil Superman, if they want to cast Cavill as Bizarro, fine.

Bring Back Brandon Routh.

Shazam and Superman

Another opportunity for Routh to be brought back, though I still prefer WW84 post credits.

Hopefully Levi can put in a request for Routh to return as Supes.

First I ever witnessed someone mention that. If anything the "lighter" Superman was praised in Justice League and people point to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. as proof Henry's charm.

Good Superman, horrible superhero film.
Bad Lois lane casting - and yet I'm still not happy with Amy Adams Lois.

Praised? I don't think anything in Justice League was praised. Acknowledged maybe but there wasn't anything praise worthy in his lighter take.

Charming? Hugh Grant is charming, doesn't mean he'd make a good Superman. Cavill had 3 swings at Superman and you want to point to another movie as proof he

can play Superman?

Odds are Cavill will be back anyway, so good for you, but I'm just not a fan.

Agree to disagree.

Yeah, I love Amy Adams but not as Lois. Everything about Superman since Snyder has taken over has been too hardened for me.

not sure who I'd cast as Lois. In Superman Returns I actually thought Parker Posey and Routh had way more chemistry than he and Bosworth.

I'll give you "praised" being to strong of a word but it was generally liked.

Routh as Superman was forgettable and he was in an even more forgettable movie.

Then we should have a Superman Returns watch party because you need a refresher.

It's not like he had 3 whole movies, like some others.
