Two of the actors who played Superman were both playing basketball at the E League Playoff Game and took the time to pose together. Looking at the one who played him on the small screen from 1993-1997 and the one who played him on the big screen in 2006, I had to wonder which one was cuter? I think I will have to disagree with the one who played him on Lois and Clark because I have always something for him and his dimples. Not saying the one who played him in Superman Returns is hard to look at, I enjoyed watching him and his guns on Chuck, but I am just a Dean Cain kind of girl.
BTW you know what would have made that picture perfect? If Tom Welling was there too, how cool would it be to have the 3 surviving actors who have played Superman all hanging out together in tank tops and shorts?
Want a cool little fact? Tom Welling is 2 and a half years older than Brandon Routh, I never would have guessed the one who is playing the youngest version of him is not the youngest one.
Not much more is known, but the above clip is a sneak peek of a surprise for the Supernatural fans after the October 23th episode on The CW. I can’t wait to see what it is because Dean dancing to Eye of the Tiger is pretty scary!
BTW hats off to Supernatural for being the show that gained the most viewers this season! So tune into Supernatural every Thursday at 9p on The CW to find the show other people are finding. That and it is the best season so far!

Brandon Routh did a pretty bang-up job saving the world last time, so…he’s getting at least one more chance to do it again. The Superman Returns star told E! Online Thursday that he’ll be teaming up again with director Bryan Singer for a sequel due out sometime in 2009. "Well, they’ve publicized that Bryan had finished his deal, which was the lynchpin, I think, in the whole talk about a sequel, so everything looks to be heading that way," Routh said at the DVD and video game launch party for the film that turned the former soap opera actor into a brand name. "I’m certainly excited to do another one. I don’t think we’ll start for awhile since we have a 2009 release, but I’m excited about the potential.” In preparing for the role the first time around, Routh said that he wanted to make sure his 21st-century Superman was both a character of his own creation and an homage to the actors who have suited up before him. "I certainly looked at Christopher Reeve’s performance because he was my Superman, and I knew Superman from him and from watching him many, many times," the 27-year-old Iowa native said. "So definitely I took that energy and the spirit that he has from the character, because it was important that there be a familiar feeling for fans, for audiences to make that transition from watching him to watching this new person. "I definitely was aware of that. But I just knew within myself what it was I wanted to do—how I wanted to move, how I wanted to fly, speak, all of those things." Singer inked a deal with Warner Bros. late last month to produce and direct a sequel.
As America’s favourite super hero, Superman is the epitomy of manliness. But it appears the actor drafted in to play Clark Kent in the new movie sequel is more concerned with his make-up than saving the world.American star Brandon Routh was left furious this week after he complained the make-up used on his face at a press conference made him look pale, artificial and ‘a bit wimpy’.The actor became annoyed when he saw pictures of himself posing up next to his Lois Lane, Kate Bosworth, who, he said, looked much more natural and sunkissed.After the Superman Returns press conference at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Wednesday afternoon, Routh’s aides had new darker foundation flown in for him to use in time for last night’s premiere in Leicester Square."To say that Brandon was livid with his make-up is an understatement," said an aide."The problem arose when he posed for photographs beside his co-star Kate Bosworth – who has a fantastic tan – and he realised that he looked pale and artificial in comparison."Basically there was a problem with the shade of his tinted moisturiser – it was slightly lighter than his natural skin tone – so he asked for an expensive fake tan moisturiser to be used instead."A waterproof, gradual build one which develops over time was eventually found and has given him a natural, all-over golden glow."This is Brandon’s first major movie premiere and in front of thousands of screaming fans, it is understandable that he wanted to look like a tanned, Adonis of a superhero and not a pale-skinned wimp."In stark contrast to his all-action counterpart, Routh refused to tackle the rather embarrassing topic head-on. Instead, he ordered his personal assistant to do it for him. So, within minutes the film company’s specialist make-up artist had been hauled in and instructed to make Routh more tanned.
