He still looks too young though. He shouldn't be wearing the red trunks; maybe a red diaper instead?
Well I don't know if I'd go
that far. At least Routh looks like he could age into the role, unlike Dean Cain, who even when he hits 50 will still look like a teenager.
I guess my concern is that we're going to get another Hayden Christiansen here, a guy chosen for his youthful sex appeal who couldn't act his way out of a Sunny-D commercial, much less carry a major motion picture. I understand the desire to snag a new talent willing to sign a multi-picture deal because he doesn't have a career yet (and one who's looks might hold up for the 6 years it takes to unfold a trilogy), but the potential problem here is that Singer seems intent on making this a sequel, even if only in spirit, to the first two Donner movies. Routh *might* pass for someone old enough to be a reporter on a big city paper, but from what I know of the plot, we need someone who looks
six years older than Chris Reeve was in Superman 2. And there's no way he can pull that off.
On the other hand, Lois is a mere mortal and those missing 6 years have REALLY been kind to her...she looks like her own daughter!
