Wow! What made them go with that blood red color for the boots? I'll never understand the decision-making process for some of these guys.
In all honesty, I doubt we'll ever see the type of cinematic magic achieved by Christopher Reeves again. If ever a real person perfectly captured the image of Superman so many have in their minds, that man did.
I think one of the things that bothers me the most about live-action Superman is the hair. I know the comic book image has this perfectly thick black mane rarely seen in real life save on fella's like Ronald Reagan but Brandon looks to me to be a little thick and maybe even greasy on top. He looks more like a meatball who uses a lot of gel than the savior of humanity.
Clancy Brown, although far too ugly to be Superman, has the kind of indestructable mane that I always picture Superman as having. It's thick and virile but it doesn't look like he teases it to get it 'just right'. Something about Superman and gel just doesn't sit right with me. That hair needs to be natural but well-groomed and not something that looks like he just brushed it. Remember, this guy flies...
