Yeah, when I first saw that clip, the whole time I was thinking, “pleaseletthisbereal, pleaseletthisbereal!” Woof. That guy in the clip is perfect for Superpants.

Whoever those people are that made that clip, someone needs to give them lots & lots of money and let them make the movie.

I’d rather they found a new discovery for Superman, than someone already known. I’d also prefer the person playing Superman genuinely had the physique for it. Chris Reeve had a nice Superman face, but he looked ridiculous in tights.

Rufus Sewell?

I’m now in love with Art Vandelay, Architect. 🙂

Does anyone else not see the appeal of Mischa Barton, period?

It’s funny how many people here said they’d like to see Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, cause apparently Bryan Singer [thinks so too.](http://superherohype.com/news.php?id=2122) I don’t know if that would actually play out, but it would be totally awesome if it did. 😃
