Comments

Amandah: 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.
DamnTheBroccoli: 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. ...
Jim: 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 ...
Cory: Ioan Gruffudd as superman? Well I guess if we can have a Welsh Batman, we can have a Welsh Superman.
