Robbie Collin at News of the World (via
Comic Book Movie) hasn't got that much of a story here and his piece is desperately missing out on a direct quote from
Zack Snyder saying
Brandon Routh's is firmly back into consideration for the '
Superman' role in his reboot, but still for those in the 'BRING BACK ROUTH' camp, this is a lot more promising than
the director's previous comments. Personally, and you guys know I've said this a dozen times already, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with Routh's performance in the last film and the way he has handled himself whilst this whole reboot saga has unfolded over the past four years, should definitely be taken into consideration. For those interested in a flutter, Routh is second favourite to portray Superman in the next live action film according to
Paddy Power...
First favourite is
Jon Hamm, but think about it - he'll be 40 years old when this movie begins filming. Definitely not the age WB are looking for in terms of an origin film reboot.
