Exciting Justice League news out today. It seems like Routh is excited to be The Man Of Steel in the ensemble super hero picture! We get the following news via the mouth of Routh from the moviehole:
With word that the ‘’Justice League’’ script is ready to roll, the question now is a ) when will it kick off (will it kick off before the “Superman Returns” sequel?) and b) who will be a part of it, cast-wise.The new Man of Steel, Brandon Routh, tells IESB that he’d definitely be interested in reprising his role as Superman for the “Justice League” movie and he’d be keen to “work with Christian [Bale, who plays Batman] and whoever else was to be a part of it”.
I think this is huge news. If they are going to make a Justice League at the same time they are making films with Routh and Bale, I consider it mandatory to get them involved in the projects. It would be a fantastic touch to see the heroes played by the same actors and for me it would really sell the “feel” of the Justice League. They do not have budget back up Superman and Batman, they have the real deal.
I was not thrilled with the last Superman film, but Routh was great. I thought the decision to have Superman as an absentee baby-daddy was a titanically retarded idea. Superman does not leave earth for a few years to “figure stuff out.” He is a hero, and heroes put others before their emotional breakdowns.
To see Routh and Bale side by side as super heroes would just be a fantastic time. If they can get a good story together I can see geeks across the globe crying blood with delight. Now all we need to know is who will play wonder woman.
