The planet Krypton is on the verge of destruction by the evil Kata-Zor. Jor-El sends his son, Kal-El to a planet that will protect him and guide him to becoming one of the most legendary figures to set foot on Earth. Superman - The Last Son of Krypton.
I think Christopher Reeve in a cameo as Jor-El would be cool. He wouldn't have to do much, just stick a kid in the spaceship.

I think that for a Reeve (no S in that one) cameo to work, he would need to be a far less obvious character. Just some guy on the street. They'll most likely want to distance this incarnation of the story from prior versions. Plus I was never that big a fan of Reeve anyway.
I'm having trouble thinking of someone to fill Superman's tights myself, but some of the suggestions at places like the IMDB forums are just awful. I especially find the far too often suggested name of Tom Welling to be disturbing. In addition to the fact that casting him would turn the movie essentially into Smallville: The Movie, he's just not...what's the word I'm looking for...oh yes, good. The mercifully short bits of Smallville I have seen, have stirred only feelings of disgust at what the WB will continue to broadcast.
Well, you ARE talking about the WB. That whole Network swallows.
And I agree with your point about Smallville: The Movie... and for those fools who think it's a great idea to cast Cain & Hatcher, nobody wants to see this film turn into Lois & Clark: The Movie, either. i'm sure there's a market for those to films in the direct to video arena. I like those shows too, but please. Their time has passed, get over it.
Those posters are just people who dont mind letting hollywood casting Wonks do their thinking for them. That's why we're here, right?
Go with a nobody, like some tall, handsome Aussie who can effectively cover his accent (ala Hugh Jackman or Christian Bale). This movie should make a star out of a relatively unknown actor, someone who c aan make the role his own, and possibly cretae a decent franchise (for a few films at least).
If Michael Bay directs, be prepared for a huge disappointment. Lots of great cinematography, cool action scenes, lots of American Flag waving, and some lame-ass attempt at showing the tortured love triangle (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) between Clark, Lois and Superman - which will ruin the film.
Michael Bay = Poop.
Ioan Gruffudd as superman? Well I guess if we can have a Welsh Batman, we can have a Welsh Superman.
My choice for a Christopher Reeve cameo would be for him to play Lex Luthor. I think it would be a delicious twist on the Superman tradition and a neat opportunity to see him do something completely different in his career.
I'd love to see that guy from Six Feet Under play Clark Kent, Justin Theroux.
The open casting that Bryan Singer and his buddies have opted for is a perfect opportunity to find that nobody that could become a somebody off the back of the Supes movie.
I've always said that George Eads who plays Nick Stoakes in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation would be great except I think he's maybe a little too short and would need to muscle up a bit.
They could always cast shorter co-stars...
Who keeps putting Britney Spears down in these casts? Her as Lois Lane? Gimme a break, did you not see the steaming pile of crap that Crossroads was? Mia Kirshner all the way
And of course Not Another Teen Movie was a cinematic work of great importance and artistic value. Not that I'm defending Britney's acting ability or anything.

Dunno, I think Bale would be quite the stud in the Bruce Wayne role. Did you see him in American Psycho?

I agree, that wasn't her best role, but she has been in many good films, and she is smokin hot to boot
/liked Not Another Teen Movie
Superman will suck if they dont put some serious oomph behind the cast. And I dont mean star power, I mean people who can act. Also, even though I'm overjoyed that Michael Bay didn't get the job, I hope that Bryan Singer does throw in a bit of the old glory waving. Superman IS an american hero after all.
(truth, justice and the american way, remember?)

Only American cause he landed there. Imagine if he landed in Poland? Or Canada?
As for some of the other choices, Seth Green would be brilliant (as I see many agree with me) but I think Michael Rooker: a] he's already bald and b] he plays an awesome bad guy, seriously intense (look at Mallrats) ok...bad reference
Hey why not Michael Chiklis as Lex Luthor? if being bald is the only qualification, he definitely makes the list. But then again, so does may dad...
