I was going to post this off-topic news a couple of days back, but decided not to. 
Here's another picture of Brandon Routh dressed as Clark Kent / Superman for Halloween last year.

Looks good to me!
I think there is a Batman thread around here somewhere, might as well have a Superman one too. Star Wars is awesome, but it is good to be well-rounded.

Spacey, Bosworth: Super Friends

For his next adventure, Superman will take flight with Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee.
Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth, who costar as the swinging 1960s popsters in the Darin biopic Beyond the Sea, are lined up to play master criminal Lex Luthor and intrepid reporter Lois Lane, respectively, in the upcoming Man of Steel movie.
The two will share the screen with newcomer Brandon Routh, tapped last fall as the Last Son of Krypton.
Spacey's deal is described as done in Friday's Hollywood trade papers. The Bosworth casting also is set, a source tells E!
Warner Bros., the studio which has been fitfully trying to get the superhero franchise back on the big screen for about a decade, would not comment on Bosworth. Spacey, meanwhile, had no trouble talking about his future as Luthor--and as charge of Superman director Bryan Singer.
"The huge attraction for me was the chance to work with Bryan again," Spacey said in Daily Variety. "Lex Luthor is a wonderful role."
Spacey claimed the first of his two Oscars for supplying false leads in Singer's 1995 thriller, The Usual Suspects.
Emblematic of how long a new Superman movie has been in the works, the 45-year-old Spacey was a leading suspect to play the chrome-domed Luthor all the way back in 1997 when Tim Burton was to direct, and Nicolas Cage was to star as the American way-protecting hero.
When Singer came aboard the long-stalled project last year, Spacey's casting as Gene Hackman's successor again seemed all but assured. (Hackman played Luthor in the Christopher Reeve-led Superman movies of the 1970s and 1980s.)
The trade papers report that Spacey will report for duty on the as-yet untitled Superman project in the summer after he finishes some London stage work.
The official start date on the production is March 3, when cameras will roll in Australia.
Unlike Spacey, Bosworth was never considered a lock for the shoot.
Natalie Portman, Keri Russell and The O.C.'s Mischa Barton all reportedly were considered by Singer as leading Lois material.
Bosworth, who turned 22 last Sunday, would be the youngest-ever big-screen Lois Lane. Noel Neill and Phyllis Coates, who played the plucky Daily Planet journalist in the 1940s and 1950s, were both in their mid- to late-20s; Margot Kidder was 30 by the time she was seen jotting down notes in 1978's Superman--The Movie.
Bosworth also would be the first big-screen Lois Lane to be linked off-screen to Orlando Bloom, and to have made her mark as a surfer chick (in 2000's Blue Crush).
The new Superman movie has been described as picking up where the first two Reeve movies left off.
For the Man of Steel's sake, here's hoping the big guy doesn't have to prove himself in a karaoke showdown with Darin and Dee. Er, Spacey and Bosworth.

A new Superman sounds like fun to me. Let's just hope it really is a good movie.

That routh guy looks kinda skinny. At least in that pic. Most actors who play superheros never quite measure up, do they? Even Chris Reeve, who did a good job beefing up for the role, still needed to be bigger my book.
