"Superman Returns" panel at WonderCon

On Saturday at WonderCon, Superman Returns director hosted a panel about the film showed the audience new footage from this summer's film, answered a lot of questions and then introduced Superman himself, actor Brandon Routh.

Singer was asked a lot of questions about the Christopher Reeve films, while Routh was asked a lot of costume questions, as well as what it was like to fill Reeve's boots:
"Say this about Chris and what he means to this film and any actor portraying the role: Superman is a really great character - there have been many incarnations of Superman as actors, artists, and writers have each done their versions of the character - but Superman has grown throughout that past and all creators draw on the past as they create new stories. Chris was the guy for me. He is part of this; my portrayal is based on his as much as his was based on everybody else's."

Another report on the panel, including a description of the footage shown, can be found here.
