Superman to make appearance in Green Lantern film?

If so, who should be cast for the role?

Harry over at Ain't It Cool News is reporting that a "reliable" source of his says that there will be a Superman cameo in the upcoming Green Lantern film! Personally, I'm hoping it will be Tom Welling from Smallville to be cast as The Man Of Steel!

	Who do you think!! Only choice! LEEE777 - 10/17/2009, 9:15 AM
	Well, not the only choice, put definatally the best choice to go with ;) Spilox - 10/17/2009, 9:16 AM
	MisterUnderHill @ Though i don't mind TOM WELLING, if we get him, we'll never get a SUPERMAN VS DOOMSDAY movie, coz SMALLVILLE'S has messed that up. TOM second though! ; ) LEEE777 - 10/17/2009, 9:17 AM
	SPILOX @ ; ) LEEE777 - 10/17/2009, 9:18 AM
	i'd be disappointed if it weren't tom welling...i'd be even more disappointed if reeves, uh...i mean, routh got it over welling considering he's been doing clark kent for the last 10yrs on smallville and should evolve his character to the big screen...:D @leee777...routh would really need to bulk up, too MisterUnderhill - 10/17/2009, 9:20 AM
	For a start they said Clark would make an apearance if its not cut...now i would expect this to be an editorial peice in a newspaper with Kents name at the bottom or something.................buuuut in the unlikelyhood that they cast someone i hope its Cavill so he can start his own Supes movies..;p Cavill would of been supes in the JLA movie and the McG Supes movie so since Routh and Welling have had there chance let this guy get his cape on..;) teabag - 10/17/2009, 9:30 AM

	Tom Welling all the way baby! TheDurkinKnight - 10/17/2009, 10:32 AM
	Brandon Routh is the only one who should be picked. He just played Superman 3 years ago, so it would be stupid to pick another actor yet again. akthunder - 10/17/2009, 10:44 AM
	InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 10:49 AM
	Routh all the way. He did great in Returns with what he had to work with. With a better director, he would own the role. Picking Welling to play Superman for a feature film makes as much sense as picking Dean Cain. FAIL! MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 10:55 AM
	akthunder@ yeah its a shame but they need to reboot the franchise away from Donnerverse....and that will not make any sense to the general public public if Routh is still Supes.....as for Welling..pft he's managed to turn Clark into an unlikable character imo :P We need someone new and fresh...im sticking with Cavill but i wouldnt mind who it is as long as it isnt Routh or Welling :) Henry 4 Supes teabag - 10/17/2009, 10:55 AM
	First of if Superman will be in The Gren Lantern do a crossover of charactors like marvel did have Brandon Routh play him and then have The justice League get assembled and Bale Has HAS HAAASSS to be Batman MrAnonymous - 10/17/2009, 11:02 AM
	BOLLOCKS If we see Superman I bet it'll be briefly or we'll just she the "S" or the back of his head Anymore than that and he would steal the Green Lantern's thunder. SoulAllFlush - 10/17/2009, 11:03 AM
	@teabag: No buddy, we DON'T need someone new. As much as I think Cavil could play either Batman or Superman, if would totally muck up the continuum to throw someone else into the role. We just had a Supes movie 3 years ago. Casting a new actor for a bit part would confuse the hell out of alot of people. MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 11:04 AM
	Bale for Batman, because I really want another throat cancer sounding Bats.... apologies if that was in bad taste :( InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 11:07 AM
	Multi@ It makes perfect sense if they are wishing to create there own DC universe in the movies........Superman hasnt had a reboot in like 30 yrs..plus by the time GL comes out Returns would be 5 yrs old then by the time they get round to his own movie you could be talking a couple more years....returns will be a distant memorie, hell it is now..beleive me supes will not actualy apear in GL just Clarks name if at all :) Cavill 4 Superman lol :) teabag - 10/17/2009, 11:15 AM
	Oh that's orignal. tom welling for Superman bla blah blah, something against Singer yadda, yadda yadda, mad the movies aren't like the dumb show, something something something, etc etc etc so on and so forth Rabid Smallville fans spam this stuff all over the web. It gets SO old DarthMulder - 10/17/2009, 11:15 AM
	Welling is NOT Superman. 'Nuff said. InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 11:18 AM
	Indeed :) teabag - 10/17/2009, 11:20 AM
	@teabag: Honestly bro, it's highly unlikely Cavil will be offered the role. I understand that Superman hasn't had a 'reboot' in 30 years, but a movie was JUST released 3 years ago. I doubt the studio will make a major casting change for a cameo. The general audience will be lost. So we, as fans, will have to come to terms with either Welling or Routh. Which would you choose? MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 11:23 AM
	Multi@ They are not gonna cast an actual person in the GL movie...its gonna be like an easter egg in the movie cus they said it might not even make the final edit so forget about that stuff....im talking about the future of Superman in his own movies that interlink with this new DC movieverse.......as for Cavill...he was offerd the role twice but neither movies were greenlite....im not saying he should get it im just saying by the time we see another Superman movie Returns would be 7 or 8 yrs old and does not connect with what WB are trying to do. Casting Routh again would confuse everyone who wasnt a hardcore CBM fan......and lets face it we make up a quarter of the box office take :P teabag - 10/17/2009, 11:29 AM
	@teabag: Oh, I agree, Cavil would be a great choice for a Supes movie down the road. And I also don't think that we will actually see Superman in GL, just an easter egg. . like you said. Buuuuuut, if they do decide to show a flesh and blood Supes, who would you rather see? Do you really think Routh did a bad job in Returns? MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 11:32 AM
	@Teabag I definitely agree but who knows. Nonetheless, I feel it won't be a cameo in the form of Superman appearing alongside the characters saying "hey" or something of the sort. I see it as you do, an excerpt in a newspaper about the poster boy battling or saving someone, a mention by Hal about the hero or something along those lines. The physical representation of Superman where you can clearly see him, I highly doubt they'll take this route but who knows? Whispers68 - 10/17/2009, 11:35 AM

	Multi@ well i def dont want to see Welling cus that would just be a joke but saying that Routh (Direction or not) didnt realy show any screen presence, in fact he just seems like a part of the background when he should of been comanding the performance....good actors will always shine through even if they are directed in shit..lol Soooooooo its between the devil you know and the devil who wont fly cus he's a girl..:P.. ....i go for Cain...:O Whispers@ exactly...i think its just gonna be Clarks name :) Oscuro@ they also need an excellent cast so Welling and Routh are out..lol teabag - 10/17/2009, 11:38 AM
	Michael Keaton, the best Batman. Christian Bale, mediocre Batman. I heard or read that the Supes cameo was something along the lines of Abin Sur's ring flying past the Kents' farm, and then it flies by a football coach with "Gardner" on the back of his shirt. InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 11:40 AM
	@teabag: Let's start the petition ;) I think it would be an friggin' awesome scene if Hal is being whisked away to Oa and blows past a flying Superman. That would be hilarious! MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 11:41 AM
	Routhe's contract expired, I can almost guarentee that he wont be in GL. Regardless of "rabid smallville fans" Routhe didn't go over that great either. Teabag is right, if he had chops he would have stood out in that shitfest movie. All he did was mimic Reeve, I don't see how anyone is that impressed with him. While welling is no Brando, he doesn't try to parrot anyone else's performance AND he has stuck with the show for 9 seasons. That's admirable. TheDurkinKnight - 10/17/2009, 11:44 AM
	Give Tom a chance....if not bring back Brandon. icebergslick - 10/17/2009, 11:45 AM

	@teabag: Don't you just love that 'I'm Superman, Fck yeah!' smirk? @TheDurkin: Yes, it's very admirable for him to show up and collect a paycheck for 9 years. He played a great young Clark, but Superman he is not. Plus, if they cast him for a movie they would most likely keep the storyline from Smallville. Do we, as fans, REALLY want to see that sht? @Tyler: Well said! @BlackCat1: Enjoy the pic, that's the closest you'll ever get to seeing him in the suit ;) MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 11:50 AM

	tyler- yea say more cuz i think he has good charisma, a good voice for clark and superman, and who cares about the face and he has depth tea- i read the comic book of superman he was my favorite superhero and he aint crybabying anymore flames809 - 10/17/2009, 12:19 PM
	"Who cares about the face" So you don't care that he has the same face if he's watching tv on the couch or if he's trying to stop a city-destroying bomb? His voice is the same all the time, never changes. He has 0 depth, sucks at doing anything dramatic. 0 charisma, barely any resemblance of an interesting personality, and is barely likeable. InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 12:22 PM
	@flames: Here are a few examples of your ridiculous statements: "the first (FF) one was not bad it was good it showed there origins and how doom becomes Dr.doom and what was bad about the first one? " "they just change doom that's it and it was cool how they change him and he still had his powers he still got the mask and his suit and it was good and the actor that portray him was great evil like he suppose to be" "DOOMSDAY COULD COME BACK BIGGER AND STRONGER THIS TIME. AND HE COULD COME BACK WHEN CLARK PUTS ON THE SUIT FOR LIKE 5 TIMES AND HES ALREADY KNOWN AS SUPERMAN AND THEN ZOD OR A SCIENTIST CLONE DOOMSDAY AND TELL HIM TOO KILL SUPERMAN BUT DOOMSDAY STARTS TO DESTROY EVERYTHING" "g.i.Joe had good acting and it was good that's why they making a Segundo movie" It's OBVIOUS you're not familiar with comic canon. You sound like you jumped on the comic bandwagon as soon as these movies started coming out and have FAILED to read up on the characters. You always reference the cartoons or the movies but you NEVER talk about the comics, which shows that you are completely unfamiliar with them. Dude, I know you're 14 and all but do your research before you make silly statements or no one will take you seriously. MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 12:25 PM
	tyler- he dnt suck doing anything dramatic, and does superman voices changes in the cartoon? no it dosent and he does resemblance a intersting personality poni- i read comic be4 the movie came out or cartoon from 1998 till know and the only thing i didnt know was dr.doom didnt have power cuz i thought he did and thats it and who [frick]ing cares the comment i write is my comment flames809 - 10/17/2009, 12:26 PM
	Didn't like Superman Returns, but Routh was still a pretty good Supes IMO. ...he'd be my choice, but like others have said, I don't think Supes (or Clark) will make a cameo in the movie. There will probably be hint at it - like the ring flying past the farm, and then you hear Johnathan Kent yelling "Clark!" ...or something like that. Macksimus - 10/17/2009, 12:27 PM
	Actually, in the cartoons his voice did change from Superman to Clark. Welling is laughable at best when trying to convey any emotion or depth. He is incredibly boring, nothing about him is interesting in the slightest. InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 12:28 PM
	I gotta go for a lil bit. I'll be back soon :) InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 12:32 PM
	flames@ if you have time heres an example...look at timothy Daltons Bond to Daniel Craigs version. you will see the differance in depth drama and emotional acting... ....something Welling cant do and is the only reason he as stayed with the show...cus no one will hire the lil girl :P Yeah i gotta go too :P teabag - 10/17/2009, 12:32 PM

	Im not sure who I would choose to play Superman...I never really like Routh but I blame that on the awful choice of director, Bryan Singer making him a bigger whiner than Tom Welling's Clark! I guess Routh might be the best choice but Im sure there are even better picks out there - I've never really thought about it...too much time thinking who should play Captain America, lol! :) joshw24 - 10/17/2009, 12:35 PM

	MACK @ I don't reckon we'll see SUPERMAN, but i bet a Million dollars dude it will be a CLARK appearance!!

TEA @ I knew DEAN CANE was really BATMAN! : D LEEE777 - 10/17/2009, 12:41 PM
	Just because Welling has been the character for longer doesn't mean jack sht. What matters is how good they portray the character, and in that one time Routh played Supes, he was 100 times better than any season Welling has been Supes. InTylerWeTrust82* - 10/17/2009, 12:44 PM
	flames@ were talking about a superman movie not the blur :P teabag - 10/17/2009, 12:48 PM
	First off the next superman Movie needs someone who will have a chance to naturally bulk up(sound like the guy from smallville) a guy who has the hair the talk and the walk and can act good(clark kent= Tom Welling use lois lane from smallville really sexy chick with attitude)Batman i do not know the voice thing sucks because if i was a person on batman and heard christian bail speak in the batman outfit i would know its bruce wayne, maybe christian can find a more natural voice for batman or we can find someone else who fits the build. but like i said to others before christian bail was a better bruce wayne then batman i do not know how you can do one alter ego better then the other but he did. that would be the only way i can see JL going the right way, or any movie with both batman and superman in it. the guy from the superman movie could be right for the part but we need some one who looks like a train would bend in half it hit them. thegamedrex - 10/17/2009, 12:48 PM
	@LEEE I think it would be cool if it did happen. I'm betting this DC movie will be the first to establish tie-ins with all the major characters. DC needs to do that in order to spark more interest in their movies. Macksimus - 10/17/2009, 12:52 PM

	I guess I didn't miss much. This has been rumored for a while now. I want the real deal, and honestly if there was gonna be a supes in GL. I think Routh would be a better fit with Reynolds than Welling. I'm sure he can pull the role off with a good script. StrangemannX09 - 10/17/2009, 1:21 PM
	I really can't see Welling as the leader of the Justice League, unless they got the "Justice League" from Smallville to be in the movie, and that would be pretty crappy. InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 1:22 PM

	Man i gatta go with Welling over Routh. Routh jus didnt really do it for me, and everyone wants to blame it on the script, which lets face it wasnt good at all, but really i could see Welling going toe-to-toe with a big bad way before Routh.

	You mutha fckers are on CRACK if you think WELLING couldn't pull off SUPERMAN on the big screen! Do I think it will ever happen? NO. Do I wish it would? HELL YEA! With a decent script, I don't think he would have any problem going back and forth (with emotions and physical presence) between KENT & SUPES. He's been stuck with the same production company on SMALLVILLE for the past 9 years.....that's why you see him the way he is on SMALLVILLE. But I forgot, you guys all "supposedly" stopped watching years ago right?? Talontd* - 10/17/2009, 1:51 PM

Just for the chance to hear someone point at him and shout 'A plane, a plane???' @Talentd: Dude, I stopped watching it after Season 2, but I keep up to date on the 411. The idea behind Smallville was a high school dramatized version of Clark Kent, ergo: no flights, no tights. THAT idea was great. But all they've really managed to do in the past 5 years if milk the sht out of the original idea. I don't hold anything against Tom W for cashing in that paycheck for 9 years, but I doubt he would know how to portray a faithful Supes on the big screen after 9 years of following other people's interpretation of the source material. And if YOU'VE watched it for 9 seasons, you should know that there is NO WAY to put him in a Superman movie without including all the BS that is in Smallville. MultiPurposePoni* - 10/17/2009, 2:09 PM

I try to follow four basic rules when I comment on this site: 1.If I'm not familiar with the topic of conversation I won't comment (unless asking a question or posting boob pics). 2. Use as coherent English as possible so others understand the point I'm trying to make. 3. Apologize when I make an incorrect assumption. 4. Give praise when praise is due. My problem with flames is in regard to his lack of knowledge with source material in EVERY post where I've read his comments, not his improper use of grammar and spelling. I am aware that English is his second language, that's why I've tried conversing with him in Spanish before; in an attempt to understand the points he tries to make. That was also to no avail. I understand that slang and abbreviations are a part of a blog, I use them as well. I make typos like everyone else, but if I don't understand what someone is writing I'm going to ask for clarification. We ALL have access to Spell-checker and Google Translate. If someone cannot coherently express their thoughts, I suggest they use those tools. As for getting a life. . . I have a great one, but thanks for your concern :) MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 2:32 PM

	@TYLER- These are all opinions!!! I never said you weren't entitled to yours, I just don't agree. ;-) @TEABAG- You and several others have said in different threads that they don't watch SMALLVILLE anymore.....usually right before saying "SMALLVILLE SUCKS". How do you form an opinion without watching? Now if you said, "SMALLVILLE started to suck, so I stoped watching it." That would be a different matter, but we are no longer talking about SEASON 6 or whenever you stopped watching......so your opinion really isn't relevant anymore. @MULTI- I have watched EVERY ep., most more than once. Once you get over the pouting about how it deviates SO MUCH from the source and take individual performances into account, I think WELLING does an EXCELLENT job. As did MICHAEL ROSSENBAUM, and recently ERICA DURANCE (she really has gotten SOOOOOO much better). In a perfect world SMALLVILLE would have lasted 5 SEASONS, then transitioned to the BIG SCREEN. But alas, the world is not perfect, actors need paychecks, and corporate bigwigs decide what WE WANT TO SEE. Unfortunately, most often they are wrong. I see something special in TOM WELLING, CHRISTOPHER REEVES saw something special in TOM WELLING, and thousands of others do as well. You are not one of them, and that's all well and good. But you do have to admit......that mutha fcker LOOKS PERFECT in the suit! :-D Talontd* - 10/17/2009, 3:14 PM
	Josh@ lol Talondt@ cus smallville did suck in my opinion for the past 4 yrs. have i watched the first couple of episodes no cus i have princibles.....season 8 sucked incredibly so saying smallville sucks is relevant. why does it hurt you so much....why the pain......in REAL life there are things that matter that we should all get angry with not other peoples opinions on a tv show Why do you think people say it sucks...cus people like you bite everytime :) These are all opinions!!! I never said you weren't entitled to yours, I just don't agree....your words my friend Random pic time... :P teabag - 10/17/2009, 3:15 PM
	I would rather see someone else play Superman/Clark Kent bc I want to see a reboot like I have said many times before. But if they did reboot and brought Routh back I think it would still be good if he made Superman/Kent his own and not act like Christopher Reeves. Oh and give him a better hair style this time as Clark and Supes Dmon - 10/17/2009, 3:20 PM

	Tom Welling should never be Superman on the big screen. Brandon Routh sort of had his chance i doubt he will return for the reboot. this Superman cameo is mostly nothing special in the Green Lantern movie. i have a feeling the Power Ring is just going past the Daily Planet and you might see a plaque on a desk with the name of Clark Kent. jazzman - 10/17/2009, 3:23 PM

	I doubt Superman, Kal-El, or Clark Kent will make an appearnce cameo. I think its BS, I do believe Hal Jordon or a character in the movie will mention Superman. If Superman does make cameo appearnce it will be a unknown actor because it will only be a glimpse of him. TDKR11 - 10/17/2009, 3:34 PM

	@TYLER- Sorry, read your post too quickly. Ummmm, yea....that's absolutely what I think. I could be mistaken, but didn't you say you used to be a fan? If so, was WELLING bad then? The 1st couple of seasons when the writing was "ok" (I hated the freak of the week crap), WELLING was fantastic! Even a couple of nights ago when he was interrogating witness of an incident, he stood over someone who was making up his story and said something along the lines of: "Listen, I know this is a lot of excitement for you. But if you continue misleading people with your story, you WILL be charged with obstructing a police investigation.....DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME." perp- :cowering: "uh, ok, i'm sorry.....i didn't see anything....i made it all up." Dude, in that scene, his presence grew tenfold! Now don't get me wrong.....the moments have been few and far between, especially lately, but if you take the show for what it is (a re-imagining of the SUPERMAN mythos), and you can stand the thankfully ever-decreasing amount of teenage drivle, HE DOES SHINE in the few moments when the writers actually give him something to work with. So yes sir, that is my belief. Talontd - 10/17/2009, 3:49 PM
	I agree that Routh is better than Welling as long as he stops with the Chritopher Reeves impersonation and makes the character his own! Just keep the franchise killer Singer away from the next movie! joshw24 - 10/17/2009, 3:50 PM
	Talontd: I did use to be a fan of the show, and I still sort of am, but one thing that never struck me as good was Welling. He was always boring, wooden, uncharismatic, etc. And that one scene you used as an example, that sort of proved to me that Welling would be an awful Superman. He gave a terrible delivery in that monotone voice and the blank face he has, and it simply re-assured me of his lack of talent, at least for the Man of Steel. Seriously, the only other face I've seen him do is the puppy-dog stare whenever Lana was around. InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/17/2009, 3:56 PM

	Talondtd @ Ive watched every episode of SMALLVILLE too and many more than once and i say BRANDON ROUTH!!! WELLING is not a big screen SUPERMAN and anyway WB would never put him in a big franchise like that, it just wont happen, before ROUTH i did want WELLING but no way in hell no matter how good season 9 gets, season 8 is unforgivable to all involved!! ; D Still season 9 its pretty good so far, minus the first episode. LEEE777 - 10/17/2009, 4:35 PM
	Guys, how on earth would the WB be able to put Welling into a Superman movie? They would be forced to continue the story from Smallville. I doubt anyone wants to see Smallville: The Movie. WB needs to re-image the franchise, not make a 100 million dollar episode. I'm not a fan of Welling's Clark, but I'm even MORE worried about them turning that dying flame of a show into a movie that would supposedly lead up to JLA. MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 4:40 PM

	@TYLER- Well, it seems our opinions couldn't be more at odds. So, good sir, i think we'll have to agree to disagree. Cheers. ;-) @MULTI- That's the problem, and kind of my point. WELLING isn't the issue, his attachment to SMALLVILLE is. Maybe I could have been more clear, but what I was trying to get across is that WELLING (the actor) is more than capable of playing the part. It's the factors surrounding him that make it nearly impossible. Do I personally want to see him as Supes? Absolutely. Do I think it's the best move for the franchise? Absolutely not. But let me tell you something.....I FCKIN HATED ROUTH! And honestly, if he is Supes again.....i'll wait for the DVD, I don't care who is directing. Talontd* - 10/17/2009, 6:22 PM
	They really should wait for supes to reboot before they start having him cameo in other dc films. If Welling plays supes, it will feel connected to Smallvile. If Routh plays supes, it will feel connected to Superman Returns. If Cain plays supes, it will feel connected to Lois and Clark. If they get someone new, and he's good, we might be disappointed if he doesn't get the part in a superman reboot. If they get someone new, and he's bad, we might feel disappointed that they wasted the cameo in the first place. It's too early in the WB/DC movie era, for there to be cameos. Even Marvel had to wait till Iron Man, to start having Avenger cameos supermarioworldE - 10/17/2009, 8:01 PM
	They should just hurry up and put Welling in the suit in Smallville - they'd never use him in a movie as too many people would think that it was a follow on from Smallville! Still,I dont want Routh back if its just going to be another two hours of imitating Reeves. Maybe a new actor is the best way to go! joshw24 - 10/17/2009, 8:10 PM
	@josh24...i don't think being linked to smallville for the past 9-10 yrs is a bad thing; it has solidly established tom welling as clark kent and begs the question for the next logical evolution of clark kent to superman...despite lower ratings this year, smallville fans still rank in the millions...i would be surprised if there are that many in favor of routh/someone else, not to mention against welling...imo ;P i'm sure wb/dc will consider those numbers, as they translate into dollars (dvd sales/merchandise/etc)...the cw obviously has.... as much as i am against censorship, please, be respectful to differing opinions AND keep it clean...cbm does have a code of conduct..8 0 MisterUnderhill* - 10/17/2009, 8:29 PM
	@Mister: The thing that we've been discussing throughout this post is that Smallville deviated so far from Superman canon that there is really no logical way for WB to use Welling for a Supes movie. What are going to do, try to make all the Smallville fans forget the past 5 years of storylines and cameos? MultiPurposePoni - 10/17/2009, 9:14 PM

MisterUnderhill - 10/17/2009, 9:33 PM
	Brandon Routh. SupermanReturns2 - 10/17/2009, 9:50 PM
	To me i can handle it being Routh or Welling but my gut feeling is they will save Welling for playing Superman for a Smallville feature film, OR if they do what I think im hearing in certain circles, and since im in the media I can say for now that Smallville will have either a Green Arrow spin-off series but its most likely going to be a JLA series and Wellling will play Superman for that instead. Routh will be cast in the new Superman movies and for the JLA movie. Bank on it. brianj22 - 10/17/2009, 10:01 PM
	I also agree with you misterunderhill in responce to freakybatman. unless welling is saving himself for a smallville movie where he dons the caps and suit he has no excuse not to do it. brianj22 - 10/17/2009, 10:04 PM
	Talontd, the reason smallville lasted longer than 5 seasons is for two reasons, the writing in seasons 1-6 was tight and the wb/cw didnt have another show to relace it with that they thought people would watch on a regular basis. Other than another lame @$$ teenaged girl, chic flick, mtv kind of show that tailored only to girls with cell phones who live in So. Cal., sorry, they were out of options. Why the hell else do you think CW went for a Twilight rip-off show? brianj22 - 10/17/2009, 10:08 PM
	hey it wont be us to decide who gets cast for the superhero roles or if they keep the same people casting it because some might not want to do it after 2 or 3 movies any longer. just cause we got watchmen does not mean will get JL or avengers the correct way or get them at all. nothing is for certain is but what is for certain is hopefully we see we will probably like anyways or rag on it and move to the next thing. anyways they did the hulk once and then re did it if they make something that sucks they will re-do it reputation wise writers producers directors have no choice but to. so sit back relax and hope to god they get it right the first time. thegamedrex - 10/17/2009, 11:55 PM
	I doubt Supes will be in the Lantern movie... but I REALLY HOPE I'M WRONG. The spece fly-by cameo would be awesome. Cavil sounds good. I don't mind having Welling as Superman but he and Routhe give me the emo vibe... and the last thing we want is another emo Superman. And you HAVE to admit that Dean Cain is the greatest Superman on TV to date. LexLuthor - 10/18/2009, 12:32 AM
	dean cain is great but i can not take much from wellings for the simple fact of the story line he was given, he has worked it well. wellings could lift more weight get extra ripped and be the superman that is body base arnold body builder. thegamedrex - 10/18/2009, 1:20 AM
	in responce to lexluthor when he says I doubt Supes will be in the Lantern movie... but I REALLY HOPE I'M WRONG. Trust me when i say this, but he will be in it. What they are doing is the same thing that they are doing with all of the comic movies that are leading up to the avengers. they are doing mini cameos as tie ins that will all eventually lead us up to the new JLA movie. GL will make an appearence in Wonder Woman. Flash will be in the next Superman movie. Thats all i know for now. brianj22 - 10/18/2009, 2:03 AM
	I hope this is a proper cameo because then they can set up Superman with some real villains from other planets not just Lex and Zod. @MisterUnderhill it worked for Star Trek because the series was the source material. Comics may rewrite themselves but its usually for the better, the smallville story has not made any improvements to the Superman Mythos. I've watched alll the episodes and will watch season but I do not want Welling for Supes on the big screen breakUbatman - 10/18/2009, 4:09 AM
