Hyperion

They're going to expect him to be superman? Isn't that the point?

They squeezed 10 seasons out of it. There could be worse ideas.

Tragedy

Welling is too tied into Smallville.

Casting him would make people feel like it's a Smallville movie, and not a Superman movie.

He's just way too associated with that franchise. It's completely separate. You'll have people who don't like the show won't even bother with the movie. There has to be a distinction. It just wouldn't work, as you'll put yourself (as a filmmaker) at a disadvantage, because not only are you making a Superman movie (which is hard to do on it's own) but you have to prove that it's not a Smallville movie and Welling's role as Superman will be different than in Smallville.

You unnecessarily put yourself behind the eight ball by casting Welling. It's why it wasn't done.

His name is Brandon…he from Compton…he got rapper friends…and he’s your league’s next superstar. Cry!

Michael Shannon has just been cast as General Zod.

Nice casting.

Still not sold on this project, though.

Is it bad that i dont like any of the previous movies this guy has directed or havent been swayed to even give them a view?

Hyperion

no, I'm not a fan either. I enjoyed 300, but only the battle scenes. the rest was garbage.

RollWithEm

It was easily the most epic garbage I've ever seen, though. You have to give it to 'em.
