The Caped Crusaders (Michael Kinton & Christian bale Vs Jack Nicklson & Heath Ledger), Last Sons of Krypton (Christopher Reeve & Brandon Routh Vs Gene Hackman & Kevin Spacey
NICE, both were GREAT, Christopher I'll even admit, and I wasn't even BORN in the 70s or 80s, was the BEST and definetly the great classic version, but Routh was definetly GREAT and I don't care what ANYBODY else says even if they DO make a few good points on the criticism on the movie even though it was only the COSTUME or the new story and NOT the actors or actresses and the director himself has a great vision, but Routh PLAYED HIS PART, he played his PART, he did VERY well. :)
There is no actual Superman. As far as I can tell, it centres around Lex's plan to collide the two Superman worlds together, so the "real" Superman from each one starts fighting the other.
Some of these Superman VS is jusy plain dumb....atleast give the man someone worth fighting....Like Galactus or the Empire....Batman seriously....that shit has got to stop...sorry to all you batman fans but the bat is not even a worthy to be named next to Superman...you dont let Mike Tyson fight the lil jr flyweight boxersa do you....no you put him up agains other heavyweights...c'mon no...realize that all you t-formers gobots aint shit...all your emo batmuppets aint shit or your green gigants !
If Chris Reeves was still alive, man what an old Superman he could play. Imagine, Superman from Earth 2 in a "Crisis on Infinite Earth" series of movies.
Wow... epic battle. Chris of cos is the No.1 Superman. But It really wasn't Routh or the SR cast's fault @_@ Chris's Superman movies are too iconic and Superman Return was overloaded with the Super-Christ theme! If it was madewith the rumored Superman vs Doomsday script, it will be a totally different story!
Christopher Reeve is the only Superman , Routh didn't do a good job plus Superman returns sucked ( in my opinion ) Superman : the movie ( 1978 ) still the best superman movie ever made !!! by the way nice viedeo and you did a good job editing it ....
I think Routh did a good job as Supes, in fact all of the actors did a good job...it was Brian Singer's and Warner Bros fault the movie wasn't as good as it could've been. I don't think any Superman movie can suck as much as Superman IV did/does. lol
I'm not sure what you're agreeing with me about. Superman Returns did get a bunch wrong, including some of the casting, but not the casting of Superman himself - Routh was wonderful. I'm concerned about the casting of Cavill for the Snyder movie. I simply do not see Superman anywhere in him. The man looks like a frat boy. There's none of Superman's quiet, effortless dignity and nobility in him. Routh had that down pat, to an even greater extent than Reeve. I don't see it in Cavill.
Superman Returns had its failings, but Routh was perfect in the role. Much as I adored Reeve's Superman growing up, quite frankly if by some miracle we could have a young and healthy Reeve back, I'd be very torn between Reeve's stunning, chiseled face, fantastic eyes and super powered charisma, and Routh's sincerity, vulnerability and innocence coupled with just the right kind of maturity and gravitas for Superman.
To be honest, taking nostalgia out of the decision, I think Routh wins this one.
I'll add that Welling simply can not act. He's beautiful, and he's not terrible with the physical acting (a bit wooden, though) but his voice acting is beyond abysmal. Even just for Smallville.
As for Cavill, I don't want to say he'll be horrible without giving him a chance, but I strongly suspect this new Superman has been dreadfully miscast.
On the topic of Welling/Reeve/Routh...Reeve is the original, though I've seen precious few outings of his, which sucks...I usually enjoy them. He pretty much shaped Superman for future actors. Welling is great for the show, but I can't imagine him portraying him for the movies which have always been bigger and more elaborate than the show. And Routh is pretty much the perfect one to take over. In my opinion, anyway, he did the role justice.
So...in case anyone hasn't heard...the NEW Superman for director Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen, the upcoming Sucker Punch which looks AWESOME) is Brit actor Henry Cavill. Who - I've said it before and will say it again - looks more suited to smug, Tom Cruise-type roles that Superman. But I guess we'll have to wait and see. Snyder is a pretty damn good director, so this could work.
routh is the closest to be superman-not good to change him for the new SUPERMAN THE MAN OF STEEL. I like the Superman Returns BECAUSE it's good for young viewers too. I HOPE they will not make it dark and too much violence like batman too dark for young people.
@louisalectube :Like most ppl on this miserable mud ball planet.. America loves conflict. there will always be a winner and a loser in everything we see and do. its not human nature but the nature of the beast in human.

Superman Returns actor Brandon Routh cosplayed Christopher Reeve Superman & the theme for this video is John Williams original soundtrack for Superman Returns
even tho i lost all respect for superman for reasons but christopher reeve superman is the only one i still respect and he would win he seem stronger then brandon routh superman in my opinion...go get em reeve:)
As long as we are not willing to let go of Reeve's memory, no matter how many future Superman movies may come out, i don't think we can experience again the same emotions we felt during Reeve's era! And i am the first one who is guilty of such and that i think i will never fall in love with any other Superman actor again the way i did with Christopher Reeve! But i still support the idea of continously having Superman reboots, for the sake of the new generations.
I dont think anyone can top chris reeve, he embodied that role. The charm, the smile, the look, he just had that "it" factor to play s-man! Brandon did good, but the last movie had to many special effects and so unrealistic looking, not a knock to brandon, he did good to follow c.reeve, but it was just the movie itself that needed help.
The problem was that Roth's suit looked like a closed-neck T-shirt which made it less appealing to fans whereas Reeve's shows a bit of his collar bones hinting of a muscular physique.
that's a pretty shitty opinion baes on shity facts.
hitler was responsible for the death of around 18 million people trough his war, mao killed 50 million of his own people, still hitler is seen as the ultimate bad human.
Routh was good as Superman, it was Singer's story and direction that killed Superman Returns. Who the hell wanted to see another Lex luthor/kryptonite story with a dysfunctional family subplot thrown in for good measure? Singer fucked up SR, not Routh. He deserves another chance
You should really try to do more of these character vs themselves things more often, it's really interesting to see your interpretation on what would happen if two equal force's from different incarnation clash, but that's just me.
Reeves has, does and will forever kick Routh's butt as the Man of Steel!
Seriously, Singer's Superman movie was horrible, full of holes and turned a role-model icon into a dead-beat dad with a bastard child. Routh's Superman had about as much warmth & personality as a piece of dried plywood.
WRONG!! joke #1 Reeve's Superman: Is this how your brain gets kicks, by planning the death of inoocent... Spacey's Luthor: WRONG!! Hackman's Luthor: by planning the death of innocent people WRONG!! Joke #2 Hackman's Luthor: He's a bit anxious... Spacey's Luthor: WRONG!! WRONG!! joke #3 Jor-El: My son, eventhough you have been raised by a human you are not... Spacey's Luthor: WRONG!!! WRONG!! joke #4 Me: Hackman's bett.... Spacey's Luthor: WRONG!! That's all!
Kevin Spacey looks a looooot like Gene Hackman. More than Routh looks like Reeves really. o.O
Dude Superman return just didn't make any sense. What did she forget she boned Superman?? She couldn't have, because she was nervous around the topic the entire film. o.O And how without finding out who he is? Did he just cut a hole??
Routh was great in "Returns" & has been treated really unfairly by Warner Bros. Welling is good for what "Smallville" does. However, I don't think the show has allowed him to be a proper Supes/Clark. When ever we've seen Welling doan the horn-rims, he's done a great job as classic Clark. I think he could be a really great Superman, but out of "Smallville" continuity. Not that I dislike the show, cause I love it. But I think they've kinda messed up by having Clark wear red & blue for so long.
I totally understand where you're coming from. No disrespect to Welling but what's the point of having him wear the tights now? The show has proven he can be "Superman" without the costume (or even flying for that matter). I too am curious how he would fare in a big screen Supes gig but am open to other choices also. It's all good. Reeve is and always will be my Superman. Just as Heath OWNED the Joker, Reeve owns Superman. 'Nuff said.
@silverlightsaber Heath Ledger will never be the Joker in my book. His character was Joker in name only. Personality and behavior-wise, he was almost the polar opposite of the Joker. That character and performance was a disgrace to the name Joker.
@silverlightsaber Ledger's Joker was a random terrorist in clown makeup. The Joker was bleached by acid, he doesn't wear makeup unless he wants to appear normal. Changing that is like making a Superman movie where Superman isn't from Krypton and has no powers. Ledger's character burned a pile of money the size of a house. The sight of that money being burned would probably send the Joker into cardiac arrest. Ledger's character is to Joker what George Clooney's bat-nipple character is to Batman.
@solyentbrak1 The fact that you think I'm wrong proves you know nothing about the character. Do you read the comics, or watch movies or TV shows that involve the Joker? Every single portrayal in history has gotten it more right than Ledger's. The 1960's Batman show, the '89 movie, the animated universe and its various spin-offs, hell even "The Batman" and "Super Friends" had far more accurate portrayals of the character. Ledger's character was a bank robber and extortionist in clown makeup.
For the sake of debate, everyone is entitled to their favorite interpretation but I should address this. The point of The Joker is randomness. In every interpretation, from campy to sinister, the character has been unpredictable. Other than implications of his origins (bleached skin and acid, failed comedian, etc.) no one truly knows Joker's origins (some say he doesn't quite know himself). This makes him an unreliable source of info and adds to the randomness and mystery.
2) The Nolan films required a new take on The Joker while still keeping his core mystery and anarchy in tact. A bleached-skin/failed comedian would not quite work. Heath's Joker acknowledges the many possible origins by shifting his "scars" story leaving his origins wide open for interpretation. We're not meant to know the character beyond a maniacal, psychopathic yet funny force of nature. That's what the character is. As long as that's there, the character is open to change and reinvention.
3) To sum up, don't say a version of the character is "wrong" just because it's not what you're used to. Some people despise Daniel Craig as James Bond simply because he has blonde hair despite his confidence and swagger being blatantly reminiscent of Connery and Brosnan. As the Batman evolves, so to must his rouges gallery. I see nothing wrong with a bank robbing anarchist version no more than I do a harmless whacky cartoon-like Caesar Romero version. So, why do you hate this version so much?
@BigEvil6686 Joker is a made up character and doesn't actually existed but there was a Battman comic called Jokers original robberies, so Joker in some stories was a robber. He had circus type assistants with a midget in some stories and gangsters in others, so they varied.
@BigEvil6686 even if Ledger's Joker wasn't faithful to its comic origins he was a fantastic Joker, and should not be dismissed merely because he doesn't comply with fanboys strict rules of comic book adaptations.
@samsam29 He wasn't a Joker at all. Just a random terrorist in clown makeup. His performance was an absolute disgrace to an iconic character. I don't know how the hell Heath Ledger hypnotized the entire world into loving his version of that character, but nobody can deny that the movie made probably 5 times what it would have because of his suicide.
@BigEvil6686 the Joker is a psychopath maniac that looks like a clown. Pretty much what Ledger gave us. Even if the character changed to accommodate Nolan's vision of a more realistic Gotham, it was still an amazing performance. You disagree, fine, but don't go saying it was a "disgrace" just because you didn't like it. By those standards I would also say that Cesar Romero's Joker is a "disgrace" because I don't like his goofy take on a serial killer.
@BigEvil6686 ... as for the Dark Knight's earnings, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was a box office disaster... and guess what? It also had Heath Ledger after his death. In fact, it was his last movie. So perhaps The Dark Knight grossed over $500 million because people actually liked the movie? I mean, no matter how much pity you feel for someone's untimely suicide, you are not going to pay to watch a movie several times out of respect.
@silverlightsaber Yeah People who liked George Reeve more serious approach wasn't necesarilly happy with Reeves more comical approach. Some liked Ceasar Romero or Jack Nicholson Joker you can't please everyone. Superman vs Superman was done in Superman 3 because of effect of artificile kryptonite.
@silverlightsaber Routh is younger than Wellings why didn't they get Dean Cain back to be Superman at least he'd be an older Superman. However Routh's acting was okay. The script and plot wasn't great but I did somewhat enjoy it. Then Superman 2 didn't make sense either give up his power to protect the world just because he's in love with Lois that was sort of stupid. At least he got his sense back before the end of the movie.
@ShadesAtKnight It's funny how perceptions change over a mere 7 months. I still think Routh was great in Returns, and I would have loved to have seen him in the role again, but I'm glad they've gone for a new face in the reboot. I'm intriqued by the choice of Cavill for the Snyder film.
However, I think Welling is kinda awkward. Eg: His proposal to Lois this season, he was practically yelling at her. He's not a terrible actor, and he has classic Clark manerisms as well as a heroic stance...
@ShadesAtKnight ... but is he Superman? Not for me. He could have been a decent Superman, but but there's no chance of seeing that outside of Smallville continuity. I mean, how are you meant to walk into a cinema, watch Welling as Clark Kent, and forget 10 years of continuity for a couple of hours? I'm far from Welling's biggest fan, but to be fair, some of the writing (especially in the later seasons) hasn't helped him one bit.
There will always be only one true Superman: Christopher Reeve.
VERY COOL! It's like those times in the old days when Earth-1 and Earth-2 Superman would meet up.
In this case, we're looking at the Earth-1/Silver Age Superman (Reeve) vs. the New Earth/post-Infinite Crisis/returning to SA roots Superman (Routh). My money is on Reeve, since he's stronger and wouldn't waste a minute moping or five years trying to recreate the past.
why can't there be a superman movie where he's as big as he is in the cartoons? in the movies superman is 6' something and around 225lbs. FOR GOD'S SAKE he should be the size of Brock Lesnar or Batista or Bob Sapp lol
@nenabunena Chris Reeve's was an amazing Superman and there will probably never be a better one but what I'm saying is that I'd like to see a tougher side to him. Not all moral all the time but angry too. See?
@soul416 and yet in superman returns they said he (brandon routh) was that size lol get that. yeah he's not a very good superman and there are two reasons he got the spot 1 wb and dc wanted an unknown actor and 2 tom welling becoming superman would mean the end of smallville. i think tom is the best choice and everyone wants to see him become superman anyways and smallville needs to end at some point, right? TOM WELLING FOR SUPERMAN.
Sweet video man! It kinda made me realize how statuesque Routh had to be in Singer's film... I've said it a hundred times, but I wish Singer would have allowed more than a few lines and maybe an emotion or two for Routh. I think he would have done alright at least. We'll never know now if the rumors are true...
notice his indestructible ok I get it how in the hell his clothes manage to stay intact while entering the atmosphere I mean come on superman should have been naked like 100 of times
You don't have to be nasty; I just feel that Dean Cain's version wasn't bad either, and I especially like what Chris Reeve accomplished in spite of a terrible accident. Also, you may not know that Christopher R. wasn't exactly a big star when he went for the role of the man of steel; who knows? Maybe this guy B. Routh might surprise you.
@mannecyberguy no probs i will bring both with me when i come to deliver your ass kicking you crazy fool....again boo hoo fucking hoo you retard.. you shouldnt take things to hart, maybe you was dropped on yr head 1 to many times thats why you think dean cain is a good superman you crazy fool.
hears an idea grab a hacksaw turn it sideways and stick it up your candy ass! second thoughts you might enjoy that! sick crazy fool...
@mannecyberguy boo hoo fucking hoo again...cheer up.. maybe its not your fault u think dean cain was a good superman was u dropped on yr head as a baby one to many times? here's an idea why dont you take a hacksaw turn it sideways and stick it up your candy ass...second thoughts you would probably enjoy that! you sick crazy fool.
@mannecyberguy boo hoo fucking hoo again...cheer up.. maybe its not your fault u think dean cain was a good superman was u dropped on yr head as a baby one to many times? here's an idea why dont you take a hacksaw turn it sideways and stick it up your candy ass...second thoughts you would probably enjoy that! you sick crazy fool.
@mannecyberguy incase you did not get my first message again i will say you are crazy...routh will not be superman again thats for sure.. he was ok better than cain anyway.
only thing he had going for him was his resemblance to reeve...he did not bring nowhere near the same screen presence and charisma to the character and his clark kent was very poor. As for cain again, dude seriously you on that meow meow shit? its known to mess with you're head you no! crazy fool.
@TheVoodoochile1 no, I'm not , nor ever have been on any drugs. While Chris Reeve was great as far as screen presence as the combined characters of Superman and Clark Kent, what I liked best about him was how he didn't let the accident get him down, but worked to improve awareness of spinal cord injuries, and still kept working.
btw, leave out the idiotic name calling, if you please.
@mannecyberguy listen dick head! this cinversation was not about reeve and his accident.. everyone knows what a great actor he was and the things he achieved in research for spinal cord injuries so stop trying to sound profound and lets get back to my concern which is you by the way because anyone who thinks dean friggin cain was a good superman is either on drugs or is gay! i will let u think about that one! crazy fool
@TheVoodoochile1 If you please, leave out the name calling, you probably right about B. Routh not being able to fill Chris Reeve's boots, but calling someone stupid or drug addicted or gay is only more stupid than a cult member(insert name of cult here).
this could be a muiltuniverse crossover where Lex made a rip in time and space and that sucked him and Clark into the other Lex and Clark's world

I dont think anyone can top chris reeve, he embodied that role. The charm, the smile, the look, he just had that "it" factor to play s-man! Brandon did good, but the last movie had to many special effects and so unrealistic looking, not a knock to brandon, he did good to follow c.reeve, but it was just the movie itself that needed help.

The problem was that Roth's suit looked like a closed-neck T-shirt which made it less appealing to fans whereas Reeve's shows a bit of his collar bones hinting of a muscular physique.

that's a pretty shitty opinion baes on shity facts.
hitler was responsible for the death of around 18 million people trough his war, mao killed 50 million of his own people, still hitler is seen as the ultimate bad human.

Not everyone would've died in Superman Returns. Reeve's Superman saved the world from Zod and Co so I choose Reeve.
Plus, Reeve could actually ACT. That's always a plus for an actor.

Routh was good as Superman, it was Singer's story and direction that killed Superman Returns. Who the hell wanted to see another Lex luthor/kryptonite story with a dysfunctional family subplot thrown in for good measure? Singer fucked up SR, not Routh. He deserves another chance

Seriously, Singer's Superman movie was horrible, full of holes and turned a role-model icon into a dead-beat dad with a bastard child. Routh's Superman had about as much warmth & personality as a piece of dried plywood.

Routh was great in "Returns" & has been treated really unfairly by Warner Bros. Welling is good for what "Smallville" does. However, I don't think the show has allowed him to be a proper Supes/Clark. When ever we've seen Welling doan the horn-rims, he's done a great job as classic Clark. I think he could be a really great Superman, but out of "Smallville" continuity. Not that I dislike the show, cause I love it. But I think they've kinda messed up by having Clark wear red & blue for so long.
ShadesAtKnight 1 year ago 13
I totally understand where you're coming from. No disrespect to Welling but what's the point of having him wear the tights now? The show has proven he can be "Superman" without the costume (or even flying for that matter). I too am curious how he would fare in a big screen Supes gig but am open to other choices also. It's all good. Reeve is and always will be my Superman. Just as Heath OWNED the Joker, Reeve owns Superman. 'Nuff said.

@silverlightsaber Heath Ledger will never be the Joker in my book. His character was Joker in name only. Personality and behavior-wise, he was almost the polar opposite of the Joker. That character and performance was a disgrace to the name Joker.
BigEvil6686 10 months ago
@BigEvil6686 How?
silverlightsaber 10 months ago
@silverlightsaber Ledger's Joker was a random terrorist in clown makeup. The Joker was bleached by acid, he doesn't wear makeup unless he wants to appear normal. Changing that is like making a Superman movie where Superman isn't from Krypton and has no powers. Ledger's character burned a pile of money the size of a house. The sight of that money being burned would probably send the Joker into cardiac arrest. Ledger's character is to Joker what George Clooney's bat-nipple character is to Batman.

@BigEvil6686 Man your wrong on so many levels its upsetting, I could go into a mega amount of detail as to why but I cant be arsed right now
solyentbrak1 10 months ago
@solyentbrak1 The fact that you think I'm wrong proves you know nothing about the character. Do you read the comics, or watch movies or TV shows that involve the Joker? Every single portrayal in history has gotten it more right than Ledger's. The 1960's Batman show, the '89 movie, the animated universe and its various spin-offs, hell even "The Batman" and "Super Friends" had far more accurate portrayals of the character. Ledger's character was a bank robber and extortionist in clown makeup.
BigEvil6686 10 months ago
For the sake of debate, everyone is entitled to their favorite interpretation but I should address this. The point of The Joker is randomness. In every interpretation, from campy to sinister, the character has been unpredictable. Other than implications of his origins (bleached skin and acid, failed comedian, etc.) no one truly knows Joker's origins (some say he doesn't quite know himself). This makes him an unreliable source of info and adds to the randomness and mystery.
silverlightsaber 10 months ago
2) The Nolan films required a new take on The Joker while still keeping his core mystery and anarchy in tact. A bleached-skin/failed comedian would not quite work. Heath's Joker acknowledges the many possible origins by shifting his "scars" story leaving his origins wide open for interpretation. We're not meant to know the character beyond a maniacal, psychopathic yet funny force of nature. That's what the character is. As long as that's there, the character is open to change and reinvention.
silverlightsaber 10 months ago
3) To sum up, don't say a version of the character is "wrong" just because it's not what you're used to. Some people despise Daniel Craig as James Bond simply because he has blonde hair despite his confidence and swagger being blatantly reminiscent of Connery and Brosnan. As the Batman evolves, so to must his rouges gallery. I see nothing wrong with a bank robbing anarchist version no more than I do a harmless whacky cartoon-like Caesar Romero version. So, why do you hate this version so much?
silverlightsaber 10 months ago
@BigEvil6686 Joker is a made up character and doesn't actually existed but there was a Battman comic called Jokers original robberies, so Joker in some stories was a robber. He had circus type assistants with a midget in some stories and gangsters in others, so they varied.
hydrolito 8 months ago
@BigEvil6686 even if Ledger's Joker wasn't faithful to its comic origins he was a fantastic Joker, and should not be dismissed merely because he doesn't comply with fanboys strict rules of comic book adaptations.
samsam29 8 months ago
@samsam29 He wasn't a Joker at all. Just a random terrorist in clown makeup. His performance was an absolute disgrace to an iconic character. I don't know how the hell Heath Ledger hypnotized the entire world into loving his version of that character, but nobody can deny that the movie made probably 5 times what it would have because of his suicide.
BigEvil6686 8 months ago
@BigEvil6686 the Joker is a psychopath maniac that looks like a clown. Pretty much what Ledger gave us. Even if the character changed to accommodate Nolan's vision of a more realistic Gotham, it was still an amazing performance. You disagree, fine, but don't go saying it was a "disgrace" just because you didn't like it. By those standards I would also say that Cesar Romero's Joker is a "disgrace" because I don't like his goofy take on a serial killer.
samsam29 8 months ago
@BigEvil6686 ... as for the Dark Knight's earnings, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was a box office disaster... and guess what? It also had Heath Ledger after his death. In fact, it was his last movie. So perhaps The Dark Knight grossed over $500 million because people actually liked the movie? I mean, no matter how much pity you feel for someone's untimely suicide, you are not going to pay to watch a movie several times out of respect.
samsam29 8 months ago
@silverlightsaber Yeah People who liked George Reeve more serious approach wasn't necesarilly happy with Reeves more comical approach. Some liked Ceasar Romero or Jack Nicholson Joker you can't please everyone. Superman vs Superman was done in Superman 3 because of effect of artificile kryptonite.
hydrolito 8 months ago
@silverlightsaber Routh is younger than Wellings why didn't they get Dean Cain back to be Superman at least he'd be an older Superman. However Routh's acting was okay. The script and plot wasn't great but I did somewhat enjoy it. Then Superman 2 didn't make sense either give up his power to protect the world just because he's in love with Lois that was sort of stupid. At least he got his sense back before the end of the movie.

@ShadesAtKnight It's funny how perceptions change over a mere 7 months. I still think Routh was great in Returns, and I would have loved to have seen him in the role again, but I'm glad they've gone for a new face in the reboot. I'm intriqued by the choice of Cavill for the Snyder film.
However, I think Welling is kinda awkward. Eg: His proposal to Lois this season, he was practically yelling at her. He's not a terrible actor, and he has classic Clark manerisms as well as a heroic stance...
ShadesAtKnight 11 months ago 2
@ShadesAtKnight ... but is he Superman? Not for me. He could have been a decent Superman, but but there's no chance of seeing that outside of Smallville continuity. I mean, how are you meant to walk into a cinema, watch Welling as Clark Kent, and forget 10 years of continuity for a couple of hours? I'm far from Welling's biggest fan, but to be fair, some of the writing (especially in the later seasons) hasn't helped him one bit.
There will always be only one true Superman: Christopher Reeve.
