I agree. If Routh isn't Superman, then I might lose all interest in this movie. It's just hard imagining a more perfect Superman. Especially not Affleck.

On the talk of Portman though...doubt it very much. She's pretty much said she won't do it without Aronofsky. I just don't see this as being an Aronofsky movie. So if no Aronofsky then you can kiss Portman goodbye. Though I do think she'd make a very nice Lois.

Other choices for Lois could be: Rachel McAdams (actually probably my first choice, I'd rather see her than Portman). I think Jennifer Garner could make a good Lois as well. Kate Beckinsale. Jennifer Connelly or maybe even Kristen Bell. Point being if Portman doesn't get it there are still fine choices to choose from. In fact, I'd rather see McAdams or Garner over Portman as Lois (well maybe a tie with Portman and Garner).
