God damn I feel old

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Thought they would go a little older, but the choice is fine with me.
& holy shit at him being the kid in Road to Perdition...
I feel so fucking old now & yet I'm only 8 years older than him.

Huh. This is definitely surprising. I know he was rumored for Batman actually once upon a time. Not a bad role for him to book, even if it's just likely to probably be killed off. At the same time, not sure if I can physically see him in the role. If he shaves his usual five o'clock shadow as well as combs the hair, maybe I could buy it.
His character on Teen Wolf is stoic for the most part, but when he has to do emotional scenes he's alright, although admittedly like most of the acting on the show, it can be quite shaky.

I thought they'd cast someone older but then I remembered it's a Berlanti show on the CW. It's not a big deal, he can do the mid-30s thing Clark pretty much stops aging (or does extremely slow) after he reaches his "peak" age so, ehhh.
I 'm sure there's a good amount of Smallville fans crying about it not being Welling like they have every time someone is cast in the role.

Yeah, I see Clark Kent but I'm not sure what this has to do with Superman.

Hell no
They would never recast an older father character as an iconic superhero just because they used to play them.

I've already seen people suggesting Dylan O'Brien as a gender-flipped Lois Lane. Kill me now.

It would be rather smart if they had him appear then get killed by Bizarro for no good reason.

His scruffy jaw and ripped body were fine additions to Teen Wolf. Now he can lend his talents to his own version of Superman, who I assume will wear a damaged outfit 95% of the time. I mean, it's only right.
LMAO, amazing

Colton Haynes' beautiful face tricked me into watching a full season of Arrow. I hope Supergirl is better. Only so the first episode and it was just OK. No hunks in sight, as far as I can recall.

I feel like this is the only way to truly capture the essence of the character.

In my opinion it's false advertising to bill someone as the Man of Steel if his superhuman muscles are going to be hidden under the damnable human invention of shirts all the time.
Kal-El's people knew better. His parents sent him to Earth in a blanket, which was clearly meant to be discarded when he came of age. For maximal sun absorption and such.
Don't even joke...He'll be off-screen like this
except he'll have a voice now
Impossible.

I thought I escaped that hell when Hoechlin stopped being a regular. Now they're invading the other roles.

Likely, but this is absolutely no fault of Cavill's. He's charming as hell and perfect for the part but clearly was not allowed to be the Superman he could have.
Both Routh and Cavill have been amazing Supermen completely squandered.

Undoubtably. Any frustrated nerds that protest, well I guess they don't care about having Superman be true to his character. Clark needs all the Vitamin D he can get, including any reflected off the moon's surface, and well positioned indoor sun lamps.
Anyone that disagrees, are they really fans? Or just unforgivable monsters?
Cavill is excellent. He is not to blame for the DC movies' creative crisis.
Nope I can't think of a single time that has ever happened.

WHAT.
oh shit, now I'm excited for his (short lived) role as Superman.
P.S. watch Road to Perdition people.

there is no creative crisis, people just cant seem to accept that Cavill Superman is a Superman still learning, not fully ready yet.
We probably shouldn't or Kara might breakdown and reverse the rotation of the earth to go back in time.

If BvS wasn't a crisis, I don't know what is.
Man of Steel was pretty bleak as well, but I don't blame that on the actors. (Who I generally think were perfectly cast.)

People tend to forget Reeves Supes had twelve years of Jor-El Space College before he put on the Suit.

Cavill might have potential, but those lousy scripts don't let him do anything other than mope and punch things.

More Superman-looking than Cavill, Routh and Wellington.
Not that that's the most important criteria.
