Henry Cavill should NOT be Superman!

Superman is a white alien. He doesn't have to be played by an American actor.

[G. Boney]

If your American you care,

Um...no. Lol

This is the dumbest thread I've ever seen, and I've been here for 8 years.

I don't know. I've seen stupider threads.

[Jody Garland]

You crossed the line there. Clark Kent is a American Citizen. Smallville is in Kansas. Metropolis is New York City. And Yes, Superman is a American Icon created in Cleveland, Ohio.

I don't know, man. For thirty years Smallville was never said to be in Kansas. I like it being there, but it's pretty unimportant. Smallville is Smalltown, USA. Not Smalltown, Kansas.

Also, Superman renouncing his citizenship was brilliant.

[Mr. Holmes]

I do think Superman is an American icon, and you can do a detailed analysis on how a lot of allegorical themes of America are represented in the character. But even then, there's nothing wrong with a British actor playing him if he can do it right.

America > Not America

Only in your head.

[Rainzo]

Obviously since Superman is Kryptonian, he should be played by a Kryptonian.

ROTFL! Nice one

[Darrell D.]

Oh, shit, WB. You better go ahead and scrap the multi-million movie project, since some dude on the the internet is PISSED

Superman is 6'3", has black hair, blue eyes, fair skin and generally an athletic build and speaks with an american accent.

Good luck finding someone who can act and fulfils all those without hair dye, coloured contact lenses, lifts and a dialect coach, not that they'll probably bother with most of those after all Christian Bale didn't dye his hair or wear coloured contacts to play Bruce Wayne and he is also 2" too short but he probably did get a dialect coach.

[Dr. Hurt]

It should be noted that Batman is being played by a Brit

Christian Bale isnt from Gotham?

[Ice Wolf]

Christian Bale isnt from Gotham?

I was shocked too when I found out

[brik-el]

Superman is an American citizen, sure. But how do we know what English sounds like coming from a Kryptonian. For all we know it could sound like he has a British accent.

[clownprince01]

I love the idea that someone would prefer any old American playing Superman over a British actor, even it that British actor was hypothetically better than Brando. I'm both impressed and amused by the level of patriotism.

[gwydion]

Obviously since Superman is Kryptonian, he should be played by a Kryptonian.

For the win!

[Rainzo]

Remember Superman was made by non American citizens who were always bullied around..that's why he isn't from America(from Krypton) and he fights for the oppressed
