Keanu Reeves as Superman

Posted by chrisd on from the strange-things-are-afoot-at-the-circle-k dept.

M.C. Hampster writes "Fox News is reporting in this article that Superman is back in the planning stages at Warner Bros. with a possible Keanu Reeves playing the title role. Is this possibly the worse fit for an actor in a superhero role since Michael Keaton in Batman?" Perhaps they too will rotate in a new actor for each feature.

    Maybe they'll create a new super-character! Think about it, SuperNeo would have no weaknesses! "There is no kryptonite."

    George Reeves played the original superman on TV.

    Christopher Reeves played him in the movies from the late 70's early 80's.

    So logically they want Keanu Reeves now..

    The only movie I've seen this guy work well in was The Matrix

    Aren't you forgetting Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the greatest movie ever made? "Ted" was by far Keanu's best performace to date. He was the perfect choice to portray a SoCal airhead. His performance just seemed so natural.
