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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
