Oh you've got to be shitting me.

I think Welling is the best choice available. When I think of who else is out there, I can't think of anyone who really fits the Superman role. As far as his voice goes, I wouldn't worry about it. I've seen interviews with Welling where his voice is much better. He purposely raises the pitch in Smallville to sound younger.

I agree that having the same guy playing Superman in two unconnected projects is a little weird, but it won't be a problem for most people. Smallville isn't very popular anyway. As far as the Superman movie goes, they need to pretend that Smallville doesn't even exist. If they have to many ties to the tv show, then audiences will get the impression that Superman 5 was just a bloated tv movie. That perception would kill Superman's potential to be a Spiderman like blockbuster.

Especially not that douchebag that plays Luthor.

I wish they'd go with an unknown. I'm not sure why everyone thinks we have to settle for someone from the 20-30 year old known actor range. I'm also relatively sure that they'd go for an unknown if Warner Bros wasn't so hellbent on getting this rolling fast in order to make summer 2006.

What about this guy? Ryan McPartlin from the NBC show Passions and he's going to be on some new WB show in Jan.

"Especially not that douchebag that plays Luthor."

Michael is the best thing that happened to Smallville. He's a GREAT Luthor. You think Lex should NOT be a douchebag? Come on.

Welling is the hottest thing ever. That is all.
