"The new Superman is giving movie bosses a headache - because of the size of his bulge. They fear Brandon Routh's profile in the superhero's skintight costume could be distracting, reports the Sun. Hollywood executives have ordered the makers of Superman Returns to cover it up with digital effects."

this article is slightly exaggerated?
Speaking with the costume designers earlier this year, they told us that whilst the bulge indeed was the most complicated issue in terms of the costuming, they worked out a practical solution involving a codpiece and special padding which ultimately negates the issue. Thus any stories of costly digital manipulation are as fake as those CG-enhanced Kevin Costner hair in "Waterworld" urban legends.

No threads about other members.

I know they had problems with the first Batman movie. Ketons abs were re-shaping the stomach of the suit to match his own. They changed the abs in the second movie to something totally different.

Ahahhaha WDLove

The SuperMan franchise has gay written all over it. Tom Welling, of Smallville, is possibly the hottest guy on the planet. Brandon Routh isn't bad either, and I'm sure we can all look forward to seeing his "sidekick".
