"I completely buy it, and I'm just thrilled that he has grown so much in the course of this journey, which started, for him, in October or November [2004]. There's a vulnerability about Brandon - both as Clark and Superman - that's very appealing to me, and I think it will be appealing to audiences. He's good-looking and tall, but that vulnerability is the most important part. People will empathize with this character."

Direct from Australia, stage and screen star Kevin Spacey reveals what it's like to play a legendary villain - Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor - in this Summer's hottest movie!

Everyone in the cast is under pressure to match the performances of their characters' previous incarnations. Spacey, however, watched Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor for different reasons. "I watched the other actors but not with any sense of wanting to reference them because the Lex I portray is a very different Lex Luthor. This is a very bitter Lex, a very angry Lex, a Lex out for revenge. There's still humor, but it's not the same."

Spacey obviously had fun portraying the twisted genius, "Well he's just one of those iconic parts. Not just from the previous movies but all the way back to the original comic books. He's one of those great evil characters that you just love to hate."

Meanwhile, the following two photos were found at the Yahoo! Korea website. The first is a photo of Brandon Routh as Clark Kent (first seen in the February 2006 edition of Empire Magazine), while the second shows Clark in the back left corner of a packed elevator, with Lois in the back right corner.

According to Variety the ongoing Siegel/DC/Time Warner battle for Superboy took another step at the end of March when Judge Ronald S.W. Lew, in a summary judgement found that Smallville may be infringing upon the copyright to Superboy which are, according to the ruling held by Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson, the wife and daughter of the late Superman co-creator, Jerry Siegel.

More importantly, in the summary judgment, which was made March 23rd, Judge Lew found that the Siegels had successfully recaptured the Superboy rights as of November 17th, 2004. Technically, and according to Lew's ruling, the Siegels have owned the character of Superboy since that time, and following that through, would be due a portion of the profits generated by the show since then. Lew denied a request from Warner Bros. for a ruling that Smallville does not, in fact, infringe upon the Superboy copyrights. Warner Bros. says it "respectfully disagrees" with the ruling, and will pursue an appeal.

Well, it's two days late, folks, but here's my diary of the Superman Homepage at the Emerald City Comic Con. In a word, amazing. I had no idea that the Homepage stretched so far, so wide, and so prominently across fandom. From the minute I sat down about two hours before the con started, people who knew this site from the net came by and said hello. It was humbling, it was flattering. It was a blast.
