Smallville has been great and it has allowed new interpretations of well known aspects to be explored. But they wont cast Tom Welling, as they can have 2 seperate franchises running The Superman movies and Smallville movies/t.v movies every so often as the fan base is there for it.

I would love to see Tom Welling cast and instead of calling the movie Superman for the 100th time, they should call it Metropolis. Bring back the characters from Smallville who have a built in history and do something exciting that has character growth, the one thing all the Superman movies have missed. The cohesive universe is the only way to go. Character interaction between different hero’s with varying ideologies have created some of the best stories in comics. Why not show this in the movies. I applaud Marvel for once again being the Standard bearer in regards to trying something new. The public will soon tire of origin stories, trilogies and reboots, solidify the universe’s and open up the possiblity for a multitude of stories to be told. Each company calls themselves a universe so why not show the world the complete universe.

DC is just waiting to see if this years Marvel run and the way they connect things work.

if it does Then I think the flood gates will start to bend a little at least.

I thought that is why they hired Angela Bassett to play Amanda Waller in the Green Lantern movie, so they could start having her in other movies as Waller, and have a start at one DC Universe throughout all the movies; just as Samuel Jackson does Nick Fury in most of the newer Marvel movies.

In reply to Kevin C.

Yeah I suppose I hadn’t thought of the work he’s doing on his own.
They really have to cast superman, and cast someone who can really portray the man of steels qualities..

I WANT BRANDON ROUTH BACK!

Well having hired a director who is pretty much done with his most recent film (Sucker Punch) save for promoting it, to me counts as “pre-production”…think of how Snyder was conceptualizing Watchmen while still working on 300. The wheels are turning in his mind about how this movie will look and feel, as soon as he can start officially communicating that to a staff of designers then pre-production will commence.

I do agree they need to get the ball rolling on Superman and at least cast somebody…
