Poor Brandon Routh - he gets beat out for the cover by 2 drawings

Routh really should be here, but I guess the gap isn't really big enough between that version and the MOS version.

LMAO@THE ABSENCE OF ROUTH

WELLING WINS!

They shouldn't have talked to Bryan Singer about his "wimpsical" tone of "Returns". He tried to kill the king.

@duncboy
Yea its sad for him. I mean he played the part well in SR for what it was but being beat by two comic versions.

@marvel72

Try 10 years!

He got his own cover...may have something to do why he didn't get on this one.



LMAO@THIS CLOWN

One more for the whiners.

haha Routh sucked

Cool cover.

Cavill looks great. I can't believe the beating MOS is getting from critics. It just doesn't seem possible.

I thought the same thing Wing.....didn't look too bad either.

(okay, last one lmao)

Why is a routh not there? I don't like superman returns by any means but I'd rather him be there than Tom welling.

@MarkV Dude, the soundtrack is awesome! I've been listening to it a lot in my car and also in the Headphone X format. It might be Zimmer's best work. It's hard to believe that such epic and incredible music is part of a subpar movie - as the critics are describing it. Everything looked and felt great - are the critics biased against Snyder? There is still about a hundred and fifty more reviews to come in on RT, who knows what the final RT meter will look like.

@Patient2670

Thank you. too much talk on Routh here; give some respect to the first cinema Superman!!!......EW, no respect for history..

Another review from comic book site.

I've just selected a bit.

'The question of “what is the best comic book movie?” is becoming increasingly difficult to answer. The genre is now large and varied enough to produce a number of candidates; old enough to allow for achievement within the context of an era; and diverse enough that direct comparisons feel inappropriate.

MAN OF STEEL has enough strengths and weaknesses to be entered into the debate. But one thing is for sure, it is the biggest superhero movie ever made, and perhaps the biggest action movie ever made. Zack Snyder has significantly narrowed the gap between the film maker’s camera and the artist’s pencils and the result is a relentless and astonishing spectacle the likes of which Superman fans have long been dreaming. Doubtless there will be some who will bemoan a Michael Bay-level of carnage, but for me it’s the first full realisation of what Superman could do.'

'MAN OF STEEL is the first superhero movie which can legitimately compete with the comics for scope. It FEELS like a comic book movie, throughout, with Goyer’s efficient flash back structure managing to provide the all familiar origin in an economic and entertaining way. Superhero action has simply never been this thrilling, and while it paints with too broad a brush in some of it’s (rare) quieter moments, Snyder had crafted a big movie, with big action and big heart.

Superman is back, and this time, I think he’s here to stay.'
