Paul Levitz Talks Batman, Superman and More! (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-dc-comics-president-gives-superman-update-5511)

Its good to hear that Mr. Routh is still involved.

That was a pretty funny piece. Nice find.

But, unless he's working for craft services, I really don't see how Routh is an asset to the franchise. I'll admit that it's hard to separate his passable performance from the larger malfunction that was Superman Returns, but I don't recall ever thinking that he was something to salvage from the wreck.

I thought he was by far the best actor in Superman Returns (although that's not really saying much, I guess ... even Spacey was a total ham).

That happens when you have him playing Gene Hackman playing Lex Luthor.

Gene Hackman never played Lex luthor... It never happened... It was just a bad dream....

I agree Goggles....Superman I is a perfect Superman movie.....until Luthor shows up.

I like SR, but it was far from perfect. Routh however was the perfect pick for the role (in my opinion)...I hope Levitz isn't the only one that wants Routh back, I hope they all do...Because I honestly think if they just give the man a better story with some good action scenes, then we'll be in for a fantastic Superman movie.

Here's hoping  :)

Cheers!  :D
