my picks would be: armie hammer,jon hamm,brandon routh, jared padalecki & maybe henry cavill. even though he is not on the poll,i would like to see joseph gordon-levitt.

as much as i like josh hartnet, jim caviezel, michael fassbender,ryan gosling & bradley cooper,i dont see them as supes. btw,while were on the subject of one of the actors, bradley cooper as guy gardner!

@Ajax

Not that smallville is great but they explore this opposition to Superman in smallville in every episode so it has been explored. their hasnt been a legit superman movie in a very long time, SR just carried along the old timer views from those old timer movies, so im assuming they will address this in the next movie. Lex Luthor tho is the definition of opposition, he doesnt like superman becuz hes afraid of what he could become and threatened by him.

as for the poll, snyder said this movie as no ties to anything that was done in films, kinda sounds like hes saying anything or anyone in the previous films is out. meaning welling as more of a chance than routh(who is an awful actor)

Whoever post this is obvious doesn't like Tom Welling because every other site like this one, Tom Welling always been coming on top as the lead from the other candidates, including Brandon Routh. Whoever is doing this post sucks dick. Welling is the popular choice. And mine too!

Oh for the love of Jesus-H-[frick]ing-Christ people will you grow up and get over the Routh and Welling thing already?! Its a new film series, get over it and give your opinions on someone new already.

Welling shouldn't be in the poll because he has a 0% chance of being cast. Get [frick]ing real.

Ranger14 - 10/23/2010, 9:29 PM
Routh and Cavill have 0% chance of being cast as well. How names like Worthington and DiCaprio are on the list is beyond me.

Clearly another example on how out of hand this site has gotten with it's articles.

It's funny how you have come to your own determination that Tom Welling is clearly not in the running. You have the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Sam Worthington and Bradley Cooper, lol.

The reason why you didn't include TW is because as the last poll ran demonstrated here. Tom Welling is favorite over the likes of Routh here. Synder only went on record saying Routh would be thought about because he still has some fan base. But guess what MrDCuniverse so does Tow Welling and if you would have included him in this poll you would have seen it.

Anyway...it is your article, your choice to put it out anyway you want but at the same time it's a little bias.

It amaze me how much people thinks Tom Welling should get the part. I don't get why there's so much love for Smallville, I dislike that show so much from episode one. But that is just my opinion.

Oh and Matthew Bomer for Superman.

I vote for Tom Welling because no one has actually said that he's NOT in the running so you're just assuming he isnt! God knows how you came to the conclusion that the guy whose played the character on TV for a decade has no chance but Chace Crawford does, lol - he's more suited to playing Lois Lane! :D

blueorangeny - 10/24/2010, 6:10 AM
@ McDCUniverse - The reason why I'm calling "bullshit" on your poll is because you automatically assume Tom Welling would not even be mentioned when the big heads at WB/DC discuss their list. How do you automatically come to this conclusion? because you said, do you have any sources, hints, or inside lead telling you that he would not be looked at. THIS IS WHY, I SAY [frick] IT, make Tom Welling Superman (just so all you guys and girls who don't like it can get piss). I love to see all of you to be given the chance of proven wrong.

And I repeat it seems you avoided him on the list because you know at the end he will beat out anyone else even your variety choices lol.

About you adding people just for variety? lol that's more hilarious, shit why not put in Will Smith for Variety!

McDCUniverse, next time you decide to put a respectable list of actors for a role. Use people who have potential, have been linked, or been rumored to be around the role not just anyone because you want variety. Remember in real life outside this site you have no say deciding, lol.

I WANT VARIETY, add in Will Smith lol. LMAO

@Hamm3rtym3 and ALmighty1080- I agree with you guys about Routh, the dude sucks at acting- too wooden and it makes no sense to bring him back. He was the star of the failed film for [frick]s sakes.

My vote went to Jon Hamm but dear god I hope snyder doesn't really look at these polls...too many idiots voted for routh. And how come Tom Welling wasn't included??? VEEEEERY biased. This is the kind of shit I'm talking about...not only do routh-heads SPAM everything but they make biased polls like these.

@Dane- I think you and I are only some of the few who want a Hammboot. He'd do Supes justice on the big screen.

I really don't think anybody has accidentally stumbled across the name of the next Superman. Nobody anybody has mention sounds like a good fit to more than a handful of people. I'm betting it's going to be someone out of left field that we would never in a million years think of.

At least I'd watch Routh again. I'm not paying money to watch Welling ruin Superman on a big screen.
