Jason Behr! yay! but please god not nicolas cage, PLEASE.

ps bruno is a cutie.

i second kristen! max would be a way better superman than dean also i think. but anyone would be better than nicholas cage.

put...the...lois...down.

yeah i heard about nic cage awhile ago - BAD IDEA.

jason behr IS cute...i don't know, this is a hard one cause no one can replace Christopher Reeves for me. in fact i just bought the dvds cause now that i saw them all again i HAD to own them.

yes, i loved christopher reeves. his superman was my first crush, when i was five. but i am willing to allow max to pay tribute to his greatness.

I like Jason Behr as well. Jake is the obvious choice right now becuase he's so big. I think Ian Somerhalder is also a great choice. Good actor. BEAUTIFUL blue eyes. He's my fave.

hmmm, i liked ian somerhelder on the WB's 'young americans' when he was in love with katherine moennig playing a boy. mmmm, shane.

He was also hot when he slept with Mary Steenburgen in "Life as a House" and my all time favorite was when he was the dark brooding homo in "Rules of Attraction." Although I didn't understand his obsession with James Van Der Beek. He's so not cute!

i love jake googly but he is all wrong from this. all wrong. and that is what i will say when i am called to serve on the audition committee.

jake is a little sheepish for the role, he's hot, but not manly hot, although tobey maguire is much like Jake and does a fabulous job as Spiderman...oh decisions...if i don't approve there will be hell to pay at that casting office.

superman needs to be both manly hot and sort of retiring. thus, i think jason behr would be best. jake isn't really...retiring like clark kent. but jason behr could be. plus, jason behr in glasses? hot!

yeah, though i love toby maguire i didn't think he was at all right for a superhero role. he was cute and everything but i would have cast someone sexy rather than cute. jason behr has sexy senstive loner in spades.

I think this is the biggest discussion I've ever generated.

I'm all about Jason. Nick Cage = Gross. and Michele that reference to Con Air was freaking priceless. That was the silliest movie EVER.

Jake whatever I really am indifferent to him. But Jason has already delt with superpowers I think it's time he stepped up to be Superman.

LOVE HIM

And no one will ever replace Christopher Reeves. I love those freaking movies

i thought tobey did an excellent job as spiderman precisely because he wasn't sexy. he was no one special (as peter parker) and then he chose to become a hero. his portrayal was excellent. unlike the over-acting hack named william defoe.

i never actually read the spiderman comics so i don't know how he should be, but i like my superhero to be a man's man like christopher reeves or huge assman. but tobey was very good and has a knack for making you really like his characters.

actually its WILLEM Defoe, so not only does he over act but he's pretentious.

if they weren't going for younger then Hugh Jackman would be perfect, except for the fact that he has already played a comic book character but whatever.

it doesn't matter, i can't let go of Christopher Reeves, like Kristen he was one of my first crushes and a girl never gets over that.

for now i say Jason...

I remember reading about this script a few years ago on Ain't It Cool News. From that description, and the presence of McG, this is not going to be a Christopher Reeve-type /Superman film. Or, for that matter, any good at all, but maybe they revised it.

Nic Cage would be a disaster.

here comes sean, bringin the sadness.

well..i'm hoping the JJ Abrams factor gives it some integrity..otherwise i'm gonna cry.

but...you have SEEN alias...right?

I haven't seen Alias, so maybe what I consider a shocking assault on the Superman story may be standard Alias business.

I just don't want to see a CG Krypton landscape or superhero kung fu. However, I am also a jerk who never likes anything and never has any fun, so take my sentiments with a grain of your favorite spice/condiment.

Curry....Basil?...mmmm, no...BITTERS!

"Bitters are, as their name suggest, a bitter or bittersweet type of spirit made from different herbs, roots and plants. Bitters are used to flavor and add a dry zest to cocktails and cooking. Because of their function as a digestive aid and appetite stimulant bitters are often used in before- and after dinner cocktails (aperitifs and digestifs).

When using bitters in cocktails it is important to be cautious as a little too much can ruin the cocktail. Generally, bitters also have a high alcohol content and should never be used in non-alcoholic drinks."

For, the record, J. J. Abrams is great and I believe will do the franchise justice as long as Superman traditionalists are willing to put down their clubs, picks, and torches.

no, my 'have you seen alias' comment was directed at ady's (and now clint's) assertion that jj abrams is great. because although i do enjoy alias a lot, i enjoy it in the sense that the dreadful direction, acting, script, plots, score and enormous foreheads give me endless material for mockery. i don't want to see that happen to superman though. superman is great in a different sense.

so...i too can be taken with bitters i guess.

I'm actually a big fan of Alias. Color me biased, but I don't see a difference. As fond as I am of the memories of watching Superman when I was 8, the plots, scripts, and acting are much more contrived than anything I've seen on Alias, or Felicity.

it's true. the man is an alien with a deadly rock nemesis called kryptonite. now if that ain't stupid, i don't know what is.

plus his disguise is to wear glasses. alias has way better disguises than that.

I whole-heartedly concur. The wigs and makeup department for that show alone should be commended for the things they've been able to pull off on that show.

yes, all this is true, very true. on the other hand, in the superman films i only hated the villain, whereas in alias i hate everyone. i feel this is a failing on the part of alias, and i can't entirely blame the actors because i liked jennifer garner in that movie we saw. but this is just my personal preference.

i like some of the villians in alias. mostly sark. because he's british, cute, and snarky. snarky sark-y.

Personal prefernence is what it's all about. Well I clearly won't be going to see Superman with YOU then since you're obviously a "JJ-phobe." ;-)

I personally like when Justin Theroux guest-starred for a few episodes as a villain. I think he's rediculously hot. Loved him on Sex and the City as well. He's on the new season of Six Feet Under right now playing Rachel Griffith's love interest.

i like when quentin tarantino did. ha! good times.

oh yeah i forgot about snark. he is cute. i don't hate him at all. but everyone else i still hate.

i can respect the hate. I hate most people.

whatever happened to the wonder woman movie i was so excited about?

dunno. but i told you wonder woman was out on dvd.

yes but i want a movie, with new special effects and possibly jennifer lopez.

you WANT Jennifer Lopez to act? That's it. The gloves are coming off. Hold my rings girl, this bitch is goin down. ;-)

in this scenario, is jennifer lopez the bitch or am i? (i guess if you have to ask...)

Yeah, it was you. No one should be encouraging Ms. Jenny from the block (the Westchester block)to be doing ANYTHING, especially acting.
