Alright /co/, now that superman is coming to the CW, who would you choose to play him?
pic related: my choice
>implying dc embargoes wont keep him out entirely or relegate him to blur cameos
>>83554379
>CW
>who would you choose to play him
lol it's gonna be a no name underwear actor / soap opera background star. What's the point of speculating on CW casting?
>>83555490
there is no implication about it, they're casting him as we speak.
>>83540659
Give me one good reason he can't do it again. Just one.
he's too much of a pretty boy. clark is more of a handsome manly man.
Use Routh, it'll be funny when she meets Atom later and he looks like her cousin
>>83555721
Well he's the atom for one
Whitey McChin is the ONLY guy could play Superman
OMG! Perfect inspired casting OP
>>83555721
that nose
>>83554379
Is it so bad to bring back Welling? Or is he too old now.
>>83554379
Are you kidding?
Someone who isn't a brit and doesn't have a crooked tooth.
>>83554379
>>83555721
If Supergirl earth is Earth 4, Routh could be Superman there, it would be fun in the crossover if Kara mentions how they look so similar.
>>83554379
Am I the only one who doesn't think Tom Welling looks like Superman?
No offense .
>>83556044
That'd be great. As much as I didn't care for that movie, I thought he made a decent Clark. And really, there's no way Supes will be in Supergirl for more than an episode beyond the occasional cameo for special episodes. There's no reason they can't just get Routh to swing be and occasionally reprise the role.
He needs the cash
>>83556557
They said two episodes, but yeah. He won't be a full-time character.
>>83556667
Maybe him and brendan frasier can co star in a hit tv show about divorce lawyers
he literally can't give a bad performance
>>83556761

Who's that, Bryan Singer?

Seriously, why wouldn't they.
>>83558697
because he refused to wear it
>>83556667
>20% of his net income
what is that going to be like a dollar
>>83558719
Then where can you find evidence to support this?
It sounds more like an executive's thing to do by saying "no tights" instead of an actor being pretentious.
>>83558719
Nope. The writers just didn't want to apparently.

>>83558764
Not sure if there's a source but the executives who said that were gone after the third season. Other characters like Ollie had costumes by the end of the series and it was basically a Superman show the last 3-4 seasons anyway. No real reason to not have him in the suit.

>>83559532
>>83559713
there's probably a non-compete in his contract
that would be gold though
>>83559943
Is there a way we can find out?
Maan, can I just say that while I respect Gary Frank, and understand why so many people like his art, I can't really enjoy it myself because of the incredible samefaces he has? I know it's not centrally related, but OP did post frank
>>83559648
Have you not watched MoS?
This should mean they're easing up on the movie/tv character embargo, no? So I can get Slade back to off Felicity and maybe I'd watch Arrow again? It's been two seasons, I miss it.
Someone who isn't a mediocre British actor.
>>83560357
Ok, we'll get an expensive British actor who's potential has been washed down by a terrible director.
>>83560402
How about someone who isn't British.
>>83560441
WHAT
>>83556369
Nah, I was never a fan of that casting either.
>>83560481
I know it may sound crazy. Hear me out. Maybe, just maybe We get an American to put on the red and blue tights and play Superman.
>>83554379
He's a bit too high profile for CW
>>83560598
That's funny because I don't even know who the fuck that is. He is relevant how?
Does Supergirl's Superman has an age? Tom Welling no doubt don't even carw about it
>>83560557
AN AMERICAN REPRESENTING TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY!?
THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!?!
>>83559972
probably not, the only entertainment contracts that I've seen get reported in that kind of detail are sports contracts
>>83560787
Not exactly but he's been active over 10 years in universe since he was Superman when she got there at like 12 and she's in her 20s now
>Superman appears in the CW superhero universe
Please, no. It's not fair on Brandon Routh.
>>83555850
>Tom Welling in the Kingdom Come outfit
>>83559998
He's more of an inconsiderate douche in BvS.
>>83561005
Who cares. Both movies are shit.
>>83560970
Tobey Maguire as Superman may be weird casting....but damn would it make them ratings soar.
>small potatoes TV star, should cost less than Bomer while still having a sizable fandom behind him
>sufficiently hammy enough for a CW show

With Conan as Jimmy Olsen.
>>83554379

>>83560557
why would his race matter? As long as he's white and he resembles Superman is all that matters. Who the fuck are you John Byrne?
>>83563182
You clearly don't give a shit about the character.
>>83563182
I want a charismatic superman that doesn't destroy cities and kill people. I gave Bale a chance when he played Batman, and he was shit. I gave Cavill 2 chances and he's shit. Sure Snyder is a shit director, but Cavill adds nothing to the character. Brit bastard ruining one of my favorite characters. Also someone tell him to fix his bottom teeth. Seriously who cast this guy? The guy is going bald and looks like a sex offender when he smiles. Fucking Superman.
>>83563647
>The guy is going bald and looks like a sex offender when he smiles
Why do people on the internet insist on getting overly silly to the point where it's not humorous
Wild card pick.
>>83563692
>Tim Daly is in his 60's
Fucking what
>>83563692
Too old now but his son also played Superman in some DTVs and might work
>>83563182
He doesn't need to be white. Dean Cain was the best live action Clark we've gotten and he's not white.
>>83563838
How could get Clark Kent so right but Superman so wrong?
Everything that went on in the Daily Planet was great, and all the detective work in between. his interactive with Louis and co, awesome but as soon as Clark became superman it sucked.
>>83563894
*How could they get
*interactions
>>83563894
What was wrong with Superman?
>>83556027
I need this so much
>>83563664
Are you saying he doesn't look like a sex offender? He could easily double for Jim Carey when her over acts.
>>83564133
I don't what it is, but I always get the impression his breath probably smells like shit. Something about his mouth grosses me out.
>>83563664
Cavill's hairline is actually super-distracting for some people, though.
It wouldn't be so bad if the way he wears his hair as Clark was the way he always wore his hair, Snyder having him slick it back while in the suit is the problem.
>>83554379
He's gay irl so they might actually do it since it works both on a casting and political level.
>>83554379
Felicity joins the Daily Planet and inspire a green Clark Kent into becoming Superman?
>supergirl moving to the cw
>superman embargo lifted WE'RE GETTING CWVERSE SUPERMAN HOLY SHIT
Why is life being so good to me right now? Usually when good things happen, it's softening the blow for something really bad.
This means we're gonna get more Arrow/Flash/LoT/Supergirl crossovers. Fuck yes.
I'm even excited for Flashpoint.
>>83564133
I'm saying he looks far from a sex offender and you're trying too hard
>>83554379
Cavill is perfect facial wise, too bad he is short and stocky
Boomer has the same problem good face bad body too old to
>>83563955
Nothing. Dean and Teri were first rate. John Shea's Lex was pretty good too. Everybody else was kind of iffy, but I will always have a soft spot for Elvis-worshiping Perry White.
how will they introduce supergrill and superman without having them outclass flash, green arrow and the diversiteam?
>>83564277
Are you retarded? He looks like a fucking rapist. Someone post his shit eating grin right before he snaps zod'd neck.
>>83563838
racially ambiguous superman just makes sense to me, someone like jesse williams but manlier would be great for clark
>>83564570
Fucking disgusting. Get that shit out of here. Looks like complete faggot.
>>83564458
Well, they can't be stronger than our Lord and Savior Felicity 'the Strongest' Smoak. So, don't worry, it's gonna be fine.
>>83564262
I want to be excited, but I'm afraid I may have to stop watching the CW shows if it's true Marvel is doing a Blade, Ghost Rider, and Moon Knight shows. There will be too much shit to watch, I'll have to cut out something. Not going to find a way to watch 12 different superhero shows along with the other shows I want to watch.
>>83564591
and that's why i said "but manlier" you illiterate fuckstain

Please stop living.
>>83556044
I want to see this not only because I love Routh, but because I want to see him (as Clark) spill his spaghetti when Cat Grant talks to him.
So does this mean Batman will exist too?
I'm a time traveler from the future. I'll tell you who's going to play Superman and also Batman in the next CW spinoff superhero show.
Superman will be played by Bruce Wayne and Batman will be played by Clark Kent.
Was the embargo real or just something fans theorized? Is the Booster Gold / Blue Beetle embargo still on? 'cause Legends of Tomorrow is missing these two characters to make it not shit.
Rob Lowe
>>83564770
>Batman will exist
Yep.
>>83564628
Did they seriously put her in the comics? What the fuck is wrong with them.
>>83561607
He's in https://twitter.com/IMBrettDalton/status/740082555253227522
>>83565414
The creators of the show put her in one arc. Once they got kicked off the book she's never shown up or been acknowledged by any future writers
>>83554379
Isn't it obvious?
>>83556761
this
>jon hamm as kingdom come superman
Put the white streaks through his hair and it's pretty much perfect.
Get ready

It's going to be Welling. He's the reason why Arrow exists. Basically he started the trend. And basically the Superman of TV for a longer time than cain
Casting threads belong on >>>/tv/
>>83560789
Yanks are ugly as fuck so they can't be Superman. And second of all, Superman is not the one to represent "american" anything for years, if not decades now. Because the american way is fucking retarded.
>Implying
>a MoviePilot columnist who predicted Superman showing in full on Supergirl suggested Ian Somerhalder (The Vampire Diaries) for the Supes role
>>83567439
so terrible of a choice that I could actually see them going with it...

>>83559532
>posting a rape victim
>>83558884
They were not gone, it was their production company that continues to collect checks on Smallville to this day. The stopped day to day show running AFTER the fifth season contract, but they were involved on the show till the end.
There's no source. You're mere speculating and bringing in irrelevant and incorrect data at that.
Welling had nothing to do with it, AT ALL. You're only correct statement is that there was no reason for him to be in the suit, once they gave up that stupid red blue blur/blur deal, but instead they chose that long black trench coat. The fact that Superman Returns was being planned and then coming out was another likely factor.
>>83563068
They get paid a lot to do voice over work, that they can essentially do in their PJs, unshaven, etc. And they can shoot out a DTV WB Animated movie in a few days, versus the amount of down time and work for a TV show.
He also went out for Superman Returns or MoS (or maybe both, don't remember the specific). I'm sure his agent would prefer to try to get him on a DCEU film in any event, that would be more likely the reason to keep him out of a TV guest appearance.
>>83559532
>Sudden blurs wraps up all the problems
>Look up into the sky
>First shot is Clark making the Evans laughing face
I'd shill the shit out of the return of Super Dickery just for that.
>>83554379
I'd like to see Welling do it as well; he gets asked frequently when he's doing other promotional work, if he's been asked about doing it, and his response is no one has contacted him - so maybe he just doesn't want to do it for typecasting, same as Michael Rosenbaum feeling like he got burned from other opportunities over playing Luthor.
But I think >>83561607 this would be a good pick, considering >>83566220 plus the hysterical connection to a shit tier MCU series.
>>83564281
>Cavill

White Collar

The guy has a Golden Globe, he's probably not gonna do a CW show.
>>83567867
what does this mean
>>83570496
There's some stupid rumour going around that some male fan kissed him during the Con he recently visited and he had a panic attack or something. Evans even went to twitter to debunk the whole thing.
>>83554379
Literally none of you can give ONE REASON why Superman can't be played by a black woman.
>>83570827
He's called superMAN???????????
>>83554379
>Choosing a fag to play superman
Ayyylmao
>>83570350
Compared to batfleck he is
>>83564341
No. The suit was terrible and Dean just didn't look like Superman.
>>83570827
>>83570827
we've already seen him on the show as a light skinned (like white passing at least) male
>>83571452
Everyone's short compared to Batfleck.
>>83566282
Suit looks good on him
>>83567258
I'd say maybe let him age another 5+ years, for KC. He could do a decent regular supes now though.
Post-return long-haired Superman and Batman.

You know they're going to combine the Earths somehow in the fall Flashpoint thing though.
