It's hard, he says. You just see a photograph of [the costume] and it represents one thing and people interpret it. It's just a photograph. But then you see it in motion and how we're treating it with lighting and color, [and its a different thing]. And this was only our first pass at color timing; this little [Comic-Con] piece was done on the fly, very quickly for this. I think [Superman actor Brandon Routh] sells it: If you were to meet [him] in the suit, that's when you really feel, Oh, that's Superman. I get it. I hope it will get a good reaction. I hope it will please people. You know, you can please some of the people some of the time
As for Rouths Clark Kent persona, leaked images from the set of the film have indicated that the look of previous Superman actor Christopher Reeves version of Kent has at the very least informed Routh and Singers Kent on some level.
We looked at some of the original Superman, just to take a look at it together. But by no means did I ever say, Act like Christopher Reeve, says Singer. It's weird with Brandon because one moment he's a dead ringer for Christopher Reeve and the next minute he's completely different. So it kind of captures moments. Hell have moments that recall the first film and then moments when he's his own Clark, and he's his own Superman.
[Clarks] goofy. He's playing a role. Clark is definitely not young Clark from the farm, although you'll see a bit of that. At the Daily Planet, he's awkward, he's the invisible guy.
As Quentin [Tarantino] said in that picture, [Clarks] his costume. Superman is [the real] him.
God I cant wait for this movie.
