Nice to know he loves Superman. You can tell from the way he talked about Superman that of all the superheroes, he really holds a special place for Supes.

loganoneil - 7/26/2011, 7:45 PM
I've been saying all along that John Barrowman would make an IDEAL Superman, though not for Bryan Singer's POS (Ror, feel free to shoot me any time - LMAO!)

Megan Fox Can KISS MY @SS!!!!!
loganoneil - 7/26/2011, 8:02 PM
MarvelWeiner - homophobe much?
loganoneil - 7/26/2011, 8:04 PM
...and in response to your OBVIOUSLY ignorant response, I've got three words for you - "SIR Ian McKellan" (does 'Magneto' ring a bell, dipstick?)
JayJayCAW - 7/26/2011, 9:34 PM
............nah I dont think he'd be a good Superman, just doesn't have the look to me, he's good at what he does (Captain Jack on Torchwood) but thats it to me
DarthLaney - 7/26/2011, 10:07 PM
This guys kidding himself - torchwood is terrible
CrossOver - 7/26/2011, 10:24 PM

woops. Im really sorry... delete those or something. please.
johan02 - 7/27/2011, 1:55 AM
I think Barrowman is great, I so have a hetero man crush on him. But as much as I hate to say it I dont think I would have liked him as Superman. Not that I dont think he could pull it off, I just dont see him as big blue. Now Hal Jordon, thats a different story.
@ DarthLaney you have no idea what your talking about. Torchwood rules & Captain Jack is the f*¢kin man. I get the feeling you prob only seen Miracle Day or maybe a few odd episodes here or there, if you watched series 1 straight through to Miracle I think youd change your mind. Idk, could wrong, maybe your just a twat lol jk
gillri - 7/27/2011, 2:39 AM
plus he's scottish and an inch shorter than cavill! there would have been a riot

considering the fuss over cavill being a brit and being 6'1
VictorHugo - 7/27/2011, 4:23 AM
He could be the Blue Beetle (Ted Kord).
Ichaos - 7/27/2011, 5:57 AM
Torchwood is or was a good show. Miracle day just feels very week. It should haved stayed in the UK. One thing I would say about Torchwood. CUT DOWN on the man on man action. They just drive it into the ground. The latest episode That scene came on and I was like what the Efff. I had to fast forward past all that thinking some one might think I was watching gay porn.

If you put a 1980's Harrison Ford(Full Corellian garb) in a Room
w/Nathan Fillion & Capt.Jack Harkness(Both in their iconic coats).
I'm about 99.99999999% sure

The Universe would collapse in upon itself.

That or nerds everywhere would die of nerdgasm induced brain embolisms.
