Unfortunately, there wasn't a picture of Routh in the article. IMDb doesn't have his picture either. Has anyone out there seen him? Does he look like Superman?

Here is the pic in all the newspapers:


This is Brandon Routh who really is a fan, as seen in this old halloween photo

"According to stats posted at IMDB, Brandon ‘B.J.’ Routh stands at 6’ 2” and just days ago celebrated his 25th Birthday on October 9th. Sadly, this is the same day that “our” Superman Christopher Reeve had fell into a coma and later had died. And Routh was born in Iowa, which is the same state that George Reeves was born, one of the original silver screen Superman stars."

Thanks for posting the pics, guys.

Well, I certainly think Brandon Routh looks more like Superman than Nicolas Cage does.  I never saw why anyone thought Cage should play Superman, but I do think he would make a good Lex Luthor (the Bronze Age, purple-and-green flightsuit version).

Yeah, Mr Routh certainly looks like he could play the part...now for some iron to pump... :lol:

Here's an impressive mock-up someone did in Photoshop of Routh in "uniform:"
