What's the problem here? The colors of the suit or the fact that Routh is
buff? The color may look slightly different once we see footage and he's in
motion. It's not my first choice for suit color, but I can deal. As for the
new Superman looking "really gay"... What would you have done with the
character? Go back to the days of George Reeves and an illfitting costume or
a slight spare-tire? Don't player-hate on Routh just because he's muscular
:) Not only is he muscular, but he's very tall. I really think he'll have
the presence on screen to look imposing and intimidating.

Actually, have a bit of sympathy for him. According to what I've read, his
body was scanned by computers to nearly the molecular level, and he's got a
fitness coach and a food monitor with him constantly and he's not allowed to
gain even one pound. And you know that once filming is completely over he's
going to be hitting the Old Country Buffet and packing on 20 lbs.
