julianw Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I always thought that Chris Reeve was just too plain skinny to be a convincing Superman. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The new guy isn't that big either: We need to see the abs on superman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The new guy is big enough, Superman isn't strong because he's a bodybuilder an he has to blend in with people while out of the suit. In addition the new suit is of athicker and dfiferent material than previous versions thereby washing out definition on Routh's body. Btw that pic Julian posted is photoshopped.

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Look, I'm not saying that Superman has to have huge muscles, just some. Reeve looked like he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag if it was pretorn for him. And at least you can tell this Routh kid has some muscles. Reeve refused to lift weights for his role. He stuck to gay exercises like biking and ...get ready... jumping on a trampoline to get in shape back in the eighties. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Surreptishus Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I hear that the new Superman is bi-curious. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. All the gay rumours stem from the fact that the director is gay and then spread about by internet crazies. Kevin Spacey is rumoured to be so by some people and the new actor Brandon Routh must be gay because he was a male model!! Its all pretty insane and malicious.

Laozi Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Didn't the guy on the old '50 series committ suicide or something? EDIT: And Kevin Spacey is gay, and I for one am proud that he never had a press conference anouncing it like seemily everyone in Hollywood feels like they need to now.

LadyCrimson Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Didn't the guy on the old '50 series committ suicide or something? That's the official story, yes - that he was depressed about being typecast and unable to find new work etc. There are, of course, conspiracy theorists who like to claim he was murdered because of some mysterious circumstances.

I read that he did bulk up, though, taking food supplements and doing some weight training.

LadyCrimson Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The story goes...when he was hired for the role he supposedly weighed around 160-165 pounds and bulked up because he didn't want styrofoam muscles. I'm not sure I'm convinced Superman has to be really muscley, since he's not human and his super-abilities aren't related just to his physique. In shape yes, but you can be extrememly fit without being bulky and the rest comes from his genetics and that solar power. Tho I've noticed in comics he gets more bulky all the time as the decades pass. “Things are as they are.

Blarghagh Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Well, wasn't Superman said to be very weak for a guy from Krypton? He shouldn't be very bulky at all then. (I was never a DC fan, I have no idea what I'm talking about.) I hear that the new Superman is bi-curious. No. All the gay rumours stem from the fact that the director is gay and then spread about by internet crazies. Kevin Spacey is rumoured to be so by some people and the new actor Brandon Routh must be gay because he was a male model!! Its all pretty insane and malicious. I didn't know Brian Singer was even gay. Why do people even care? What difference does it make? Edited June 26, 2006 by TrueNeutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Reeve bulked up during shooting to the point where they had to reshoot most of the early stuff because he looked so different by the end of the movie.

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) See, now I remember my Superman Movie book from Scholastic that I ordered from school ( do they still do that nowadays?) waaay back in the day, and Reeves himself said he didn't lift weights because doing it made him feel 'nauseous' (you can correct my spelling, Meta). And what sort of things do you do on the tramp, Meta? Run in place? I have to admit that it doesn't seem very practical to me. Edited June 27, 2006 by metadigital Jaguars4ever is still alive.

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I know, but it just seems so...silly.

alanschu Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well, the term you used earlier was "getting back in shape" which is very different from building big muscles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
