Nicholas Cage - agree - too old
Jude Law - too skinny
Josh Harnett - too ugly
Ashton Kutcher - hahahaha... get real
Paul Walker - too blonde & dumb surfer
Brendan Fraser - too goofy
Mathew Boomer - who??
I picked Joe Rogan (host of Fear Factor) cuz he's buff and cool and looks like Superman to me.
Maybe he need a little Rogaine, but he could still pull it off.

It's just hard for me to picture anyone other than Reeve playing Superman. Of the availible choices, I would say Josh Hartnett. But since he's decided not to go with the project, another possibility could be Ben Affleck....although I don't know how much he would want to be playing superheroes in every flick he does.

Nicholas Cage - a bit old and a bit awkward looking (not to mention he likes talkin' funny in his films
)
Jude Law - too angular and he always seems to have a devilish smirk
Josh Harnett - moot point, he's out.
Ashton Kutcher - maybe in a Bizarro world [Insert "Dude, where's my ______" joke here].
Paul Walker - looked at his fansite to see who he is. Hard to say.
Brendan Fraser - kind'a goofy and kind'a dough-y.
Mathew Boomer - haven't found anything about him, so duno.

Hands down Chrsitian Bale.
He's got the acting talents. He's diverse and can play the nervous goof and then change over totally and play a brute force character, and then flip to someone with fellings and charisma. He's also got the body for it.
PS: I'm not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Some scenes of Fraser in a suit and glasses in The Quite American made me think him a good Clark Kent, but not necessarily Supes. Never heard of Bomer, so he might be the way to go if you want to re-invent it with an unknown like they did with Reeve.

I'd go with either a complete unknown, Collin Ferrell, or Crispen Glover.

I think the unknown guys should get it. As much as I like some of the other actors, I dont think they are right for the role. Go with the soap opera guy, Boomer!
From what I have been reading they are going to re tell the whole story of Kal-El/Superman and I think thats a mistake. They should just go right to the Superman stuff.
Ashton. No
Brendan Frasier. No

It really seemed as if he intended to butcher the mythos for all it was worth. I can only hope this was a false review, as it was posted at Aint It Cool News.

I think the pics they've shot of Bomer make him look like the prototypical Superman...
No matter who plays the role, they will become famous because of it. Having said that, it's best to cast an unknown since they will bring something new to the table, and fanboys won't complain about how so and so sucks or isn't right for the role.
Bomer
This guy looks like he was made for the role.

I've always thought Bruce Campbell would make a great Superman, although he's probably too old for the part. He definitely has the look and the chin.
Or they could reinvent the series, and take it in an entirely different direction...
