Here in the U.S. there's been enough hype about the movie that most of the reporting media seems to have learned that Routh in this case rhymes with "south". But this hasn't always been known: I was cleaning up some older programming off of my hard disk yesterday and ran into a Superman segment on something called "Hollywood's Best 10". (They ranked Superman 2nd in comic book heroes after Spider-Man, so I'm not talking to them. ) Anyway, they made mention of the movie coming out in 2006, and several times pronounced it "Ruth". It takes a while for word to get out...
