Superman’s iconic look was nailed – and even modernized slightly from the previous movie version portrayed by Christopher Reeve – for 2006’s Superman Returns, but we can’t say the same for Brandon Routh’s portrayal of the character.

Routh lacked both the screen presence and charisma of Reeve and that really did stick out like a sore thumb. The portrayal was every bit as boring as the film itself – which, trust us, was extremely boring (NOTHING of note happened?!).

That’s a real shame, because the potential from the look was huge and is a prime example of why promotional material should never be used as a gauge of a movie or character’s quality in the final product.

Speaking of Kryptonian characters, let’s move on to our next entry.
