Seriously, neither of them look a thing like Superman. They are too little. Their faces are too soft, their chins too pointed.

Lauren is a hottie as anyone who saw Bad Santa can attest to. But I don't buy her as anyone in the Superman mythos, especially Lois. I wonder who she is testing for.

I don't think they'll find anybody who looks perfect for the role of Supes. Too iconic a character. They'll be better served by finding the best actor who is close enough.

I agree with Miner. No one is going to look just like him IMO (Christopher Reeves doing so was nothing short of astonishing), so I'd hire the best actor possible to pull it off.

4th August 2004 - Singer offers Welling Superman - but will he accept?!?
With the search for Superman stepping up S-V have heard that Bryan Singer has offered the role of Superman to Tom Welling! This will please many fans as he is BY FAR the most requested for the role (I have the emails to prove it!) and whether you like it or not he is the fan-favourite for the role and the subject of endless debates in Superforums all over the net.
Before you start getting too excited (or angry) bear in mind that Welling has shown a reluctancy towards playing SuperMAN and from what we hear from our source that is still the case and it is unlikely that he will accept. With Singer and the Donners on board and rumours of Christopher Reeve being involved Welling MIGHT change his mind but we haven't heard anything to indicate that is the case.
The offer is on the table and we believe it is a two picture deal. With Singer wanting to get his Superman soon he wants an answer within the next 2 - 3 weeks. Singer has already had meetings with other actors to discuss the role with Eddie Cibrian (Third Watch) and Christopher Douglas (Passions) being mentioned but has only offered the role to Welling.

Wow. Does this mean Michael Rosenbaum will play Lex?

I'm glad they've offered Welling the role, even though I've never really seen an episode of Smallville, just because I know so many people have been clamoring for that to happen.
As long as SOMEONE is happy, I always say. It would probably help if that someone was the majority, though.
