Former Superman Brandon Routh Praises James Gunn’s DCU Reboot & David Corenswet

Back in 2006, I stepped into the iconic cape and boots once worn by Christopher Reeve, taking on the roles of both Clark Kent and Superman in “Superman Returns.” It was an honor to pay tribute to Reeve’s legendary quadrilogy with this film. Critics appreciated my portrayal as the Boy Scout of Steel in “Superman Returns,” but unfortunately, the box office results didn’t meet Warner Bros.’ expectations. As a result, they decided to scrap plans for a sequel and instead opted for a reboot, effectively ending my tenure as Superman prematurely.
