Brandon Routh really is Superman but he did a great job in the movie Superman Returns. Even though in the box office Superman didn't do great, since it only earned less than 200 million dollars, he did an awesome job trying his best to be Superman. He had to learn how to fly and also had to do scenes with the green so that makes it very hard for him since being Superman is his first big movie role. He has a girlfriend and also he is six feet three inches tall which is amazeingly tall. No wonder he was Superman.

Brandon James Routh is a new comer to the big screen, and he is putting the “az” in dazzle. He was born on October 11, 1979 in Des Moines, Iowa. Living only 100 miles away from Woolstock, the location of George Reeves, the second actor to play Superman, Routh became a huge Superman fan. He collected the comics, owned the movies, and even wore Superman pjs. As he grew up, Routh thought that a full-time acting career was a waste of time; however, after graduating Norwalk Highschool and attending the University of Iowa aspiring to be a writer, he modeled and had small theatrical acting jobs to pay for his tuition. This was the start of his "full-time" acting career. Guest starring in many hit TV shows, Brandon made his way to the big screen as Superman, being one of the biggest fans of them all. I do not believe that Brandon Routh can ever replace the orginal Superman from the comics, but he has added more to the hero as everyone before him has. Over the years, Superman has become much more than a hero from a comic book. He has become a hero to the entire world. Brandon James Routh has entered the legend of Superman, dating back to 1939 with Ray Middelton, 1950’s with George Reeves, 1978 with Christopher Reeves, and now Routh in 2006. Superman can never die because Superman willl always fly.
