Could somebody find a different picture of him because it does not look like him at all. Thank You! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.10.52 ( talk) 17:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Someone added the "Jewish Americans" category a while ago. Does anyone know if that's actually fact-based or just speculation? Vulturell 20:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

He's not Jewish. [User: EricKitt]
This is a serious matter, not a joke. The digital editing of Brandon Routh's Superman costume pants volume and the subsequent measures to reduce it are all but ignored in this article. -- 200.178.22.27 15:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Brandon, is that you? ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.76.45 ( talk) 09:43, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations! The article passed. I'm impressed with the straightforward, positive, neutral and yet not idolizing tone of this Actor article. You reference thoroughly, although I'd like to see a few print sources to bolster it. -- CTSWyneken (talk) 01:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
The box of actors playing Superman is confusing here - How has Brandon Routh succeeded Tom Welling, when Welling is still playing Superman? -- cholmes75 ( chit chat) 15:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Tom Welling does not play Superman. He plays Clark Kent. Get it right. 24.251.20.115 19:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Nosferatu.
Simple. His debut as Superman came after Smallville was already on the air. 71.197.214.127 02:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I'd say that Routh is actually around 6'3, he looks pretty tall. Son of Kong
IMDB lists him as 6'2.5". However, the majority of news articles have listed him as 6'3". Ealgian 21:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
My friend told me that on the special disc release of Superman Returns Routh said that he's 6'4. Can someone verify if this is true? Son of Kong
The image of Routh as Superman cannot be used to identify the actor per the already-in-place fair-use policy; its rewrite virtually forbids any fair-use images to identify a living, public person. Per this policy, I have moved the image to the Superman section, the only place where Wikipedia can claim fair use. RadioKirk ( u| t| c) 03:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't care what his personal web page says, there is no such thing as the Norwalk Theater of Performing Arts or whatever it's called. I know Brandon personally; he acted in high school plays and musicals. As well, I've lived in Norwalk for 22 years (ie., my entire life). We do not even have an auditorium for the high school, let alone a performing arts theatre. Therefore, I've removed that line from his page. SkittlzAnKomboz 19:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Hopefully for the next movie the actor will have put on 40lbs of muscle. He was a bit "skinny" in "Returns." Shouldn't be a problem in Hollywood though; if he lives in L.A., damn man, digging up a personal trainer would not be an issue. He doesn't need to look like a bodybuilder, but, his male model physique is not right for the role. He just needs to be beefier by about 40lbs.

I just heard he is replacing Brandon Routh as Superman. Is there any truth to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.235.132.245 ( talk) 23:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Great news,looking forward to see Superbastard kicked out and Darth Vader in a Superman costume,see if u can clarify —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.49.42.137 ( talk) 15:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
The article says he has signed a contract for the next two SM films but then says WB has chosen not to renew his contract. Which is it? 75.85.165.180 ( talk) 08:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force (" GA Sweeps"), all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA.) I have determined that this article needs some work to meet current criteria, outlined below:
I am putting the article on hold for one week, longer if significant contributors make good progress. Keep me informed on this page. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs( talk) 18:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Brandon Routh/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
For someone who has only recently entered notability, this article covers him quite well |
