It was now time for the Q&A. Crowed cheered when Brandon was introduced. Most of the questions asked were beyond lame. And the good questions were already answered on DVD extras & such. Though Sam had a great bit about seeing Brandon in the suit for the first time, which was cool. They must have had a couple of the people who got to ask questions pre-chosen, as a couple were special needs folks. Brandon handled their awkward inquiries like a true champ. Like Superman would. What a great guy. They had time for one last question. The host chose me. Handed me the microphone. This is what I stood up & said: "Mr. Routh, It's an Honor to get to speak to you today.
This isn't so much a question as it is a statement of gratitude.
Ever since the triumphant return of Superman in 2006, there has been alot of incorrect internet revisionist history concerning Superman Returns.
Firstly, the reviews & reactions from critics & fans was very positive & remains so to this day, despite its few, but vocal detractors.
Secondly, the film made ALOT of money all over the world, even though it's budget was unfairly burdened with debt from previous attempts at making a Superman film.
Lastly, not only did the film have plenty enough action for my taste, but it also had the the most important ingredient that a Superman film has to have: HEART. And you Sir, are the Heart & Soul of that wonderful film.
People who need nonstop, mindless, shallow action in their movies can have the Zach Snyder movie. As for me, I like my heroes with emotional depth, & you brought that & so many new layers to the Man Of Steel. Thank you for giving us the Majestic & Thoughtful movie known as: Superman Returns."I had to speak rather quickly, as the Q&A was running late & the celebs needed to get to the Autograph location. With that, the Q&A was over. Throughout the day I was approached by no less that 15 or so random people who wanted to tell me they liked what I said. My answer was always the same: "Thanks. It needed to be said."= Dammit, Mav I'm proud of you fella. Well done. I think you spoke for me too when you said all that. If WB has a pair they'll give Routh another try in Justice League since they said they want that to be separate from the other solo films. Of course it'll never happen because they are too incompetent to get it done but thats what they should do. |

WB is a giant mystery. On one hand, they've done right with letting Nolan do his thing with Batman (so far)- on the other hand, there's the constant chaos with the Superman franchise. (Not to mention Green Lantern) Marvel Studios may some mistakes, but on the whole, they seem to really have their act together. I do wonder if it's an individual at the top that's responsible for the general mess with adapting DC characters for the bigscreen, or if it's the whole WB structure that constantly keeps things in limbo for the most part. On the other hand, Sony isn't much better with its handling of Raimi/Spiderman, so....  |
