  • Based on the DC Comics event series of the same name, the CW's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" saga focuses on Batwoman (Ruby Rose), The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) as they attempt to prevent Anti-Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) from annihilating the whole of the multiverse. In the salvation process, the heroes align with other icons of DC from the films and television series, including Superman (reprised by Brandon Routh and Tyler Hoechlin).

      People over exaggerate about Superman Returns. The movie was good. Honestly, it’s no different than the first film. Superman didn’t throw a single punch in that one either, all he did was clean up Lex’s disasters.

    • @Swenglish
      @Swenglish 4 роки тому +6

      ​@@anthonyshepherd265 I am perfectly fine with Superman not throwing punches; most situations don't call for that, which is part of the beauty of the character. His powers afford him the luxury of not making moral compromises, which makes him a great character through which to explore ethics in an unusual context. The reasons why Superman Returns didn't quite work had nothing to do with a lack of punching and more to do with a lack of humanity. They tried to turn him into a Space Jesus with mild stalker tendencies. Of course, compared to Man of Steel, he was a total sweetheart, because that movie was even colder, but both failed to really show the warmth of the character. But the casting of Brandon Routh was magnificent.
      The Donner Superman had its own flaws, mostly centered around the portrayal of Lex Luthor (which carried over into Returns), but Superman himself was written a lot warmer in the first movie.
      I'm still waiting for the definitive Superman movie. The formula is pretty simple. Superman is all about sharing power with the powerless, Lex Luthor is all about hoarding power for himself. Lex, who doesn't believe in altruism, wants people to think Superman has an ulterior motive and is a threat to the planet. Superman has to avoid taking any action that makes it look like Lex is correct. It's a timeless takedown of Randian Objectivism and fearmongering and it can be absolutely riveting and poignant in the right hands, without a single punch thrown at Lex by Superman. Watching Superman punch things is boring; that's too easy. There's a lot more tension in watching Superman hold back because he can't afford to cross any lines.

We need a kingdom come movie with Brandon starring in the future on the big screen. To be honest i love henry's superman but not nearly as much as Brandon's superman because he is the one true superman. He was my superman and always will be. I want him back as superman on the big screen. People shit on superman returns which i dont get but i think it was the writing and production of the movie that wasn't as good as the originals or some would say current superman movies. his portrayal was spot on in my opinion, his clark kent portrayal was literal gold. He needs to return to the big screen as superman.

    I personally find Brandon Routh so much better than Henry Cavill as Superman. Brandon gives so much more to Superman, Clark and in the scenes with his mother, as Kal-El. His posture is different, his mannerisms, even his smile is different as one or the other. Cavill is handsome and buff but he doesn't do that; he's the same guy whether he's in his Super suit or his Clark clothes. He was fun to watch in Man from UNCLE but he's not Superman. Brandon Routh is Superman.

      Superman has gone through various incarnations. Recall that in the Supergirl show, he says she is the stronger of the two of them in one episode. Btw, the actor is only 32 years of age. As popular as the Smallville show was, Weller doesn't look like the traditional Superman. Though they like to say he never wore the outfit to match the story, I believe that was a good excuse given that he is well, a bit heavier now like Dean Cain.

      @@humaneIP You're probably miffed about the ''No Suit'' thing because you have zero understand of the idea behind that. So in case you didn't know but it wasn't Tom Welling's decision. The ''No Flights, No Tights'' rule was made by the showrunners ingbefore the first episode of Smallville was filmed. And that's because it wasn't a show about Superman and never was going to be.
      So when Welling was approached they pitched him a Superman show and he rejected because he wasn't interested in that. But he had a more in depth talk with the showrunners themselves who explained to him that it wasn't a Superman show. And when he asked about suiting up and flying and all that stuff. They said that it was a absolute NO-GO. And he agreed with that decision.

    I still can't get over the fact that the Legends execs essentially fired Brandon and Courtney. I can only imagine it was for budgetary reasons but it was such a stupid decision. They decide to keep some of the other really pointless and annoying characters but decide to get rid of Ray, who is the heart of the show, and Nora, who is easily the best new character in the last couple of seasons. I feel pretty certain that they will come to regret it and the fact that he has been the shining highlight of the crossover so far just lends more credence to that. Routh clearly isn't happy about it and it takes a lot to piss off someone like Routh as he never fails to let people know that it wasn't his decision to leave. I hope we see him back in the Arrowverse soon.

      @eltravos99 4 роки тому +1

      Brandon did a great job. He is a great Clark Kent and Superman. But the decision on the story for his movie in hindsight was very odd. They decided to make a sequel to the second Superman and erase the others...but with an entirely new cast. This isn't the same as other movies who did it but with the same cast. With SO many years in between his movie and the originals, they really had a chance to do the origin story. It's okay to do an origin story when it had been such a long time.
