 |  the "Hallowe'en Costume" thing...Reeve IS Superman, Routh
 is a kid in a bad Superman costume.

 Funny thing, Routh was actually older, when he got the part, than Reeve. I may be in the minority, but I've always thought that Routh could be a great Superman. His costume is all wrong, and so is his hair, but he has the look. And, with a director that understands the character, he might actually feel like Superman too.

 |  Any of these small Kirby panels are more dynamic than the Superman cover below...

          That's a great Kirby page. And I really like the Alex Toth page too.

 |   This altered photo of Routh does illustrate just how off his costume and hair really was.

          That Kirby page is incredible!  I'm sure that many of today's "sophisticated" readers would grouse about the lack of backgrounds though...

          Another theory I came up with about the "vacuum sealed" costumes: The costumes are wet. If you wear a costume and swim in it, it sticks to your body like that.
