Another odd thing I've encountered recently is that over the past week, in three separate news reports, I've heard the reporters musing over how odd a name Brandon Routh is. One presenter even mused thoughtfully, "A man's name, followed by a girl's name. Odd."
Now, I don't find anything at all odd about the name. Or even unusual. Anyone else? I was just struck by how silly these guys were being finding it strange at all! But it was curious that it came up three times on separate programmes. Rather than it being just one idiot. 
How is ROUTH a girl's name?
Are they not pronouncing it correctly? It rhymes with "SOUTH." What, do they think his last name is "RUTH?" Good Lord! :rolleyes: Sometimes it amazes me how ignorant people can be!
I've seen the movie 8 times so far, and Brandon is without a doubt the one near perfect thing in the film!
JMHO of course, but he is the best on screen Superman we have EVER had!
Chris will always be my Superman, I grew up with him - and NO ONE will ever be more of a *real life* Superman than he was.
But Brandon nailed the role - as Clark, as Kal El, and as Superman!
While a few people may seem to be underwhelmed with his performance, most people you talk to *rave* about him! I've seen people that didn't even enjoy the film all that much still praise Brandon's performance to high heaven! That guy is destined for BIG things, bigger than Superman even!
Oh yeah, and on top of his incredible acting skills (one little raise of his eyebrow or narrowing of the eyes, every little gesture or expression MEANT something) - he is HOT!!!
