wasn't this also the case when chris reeves was selected for the job? i think it's important that you cast someone who is right for the part, not just some big-name hollywood actor who is looking for another notch on his hollywood-icon belt. as sappy as it seems, there's a bit of magic in seeing superman, and if you don't get that just right, the whole ideal is ruined. personally, i've never seen a better superman than the wb's (and currently cartoon network's) superman... in alot of ways, it's better to see a comic character animated than portrayed by a real person. that was also the case with batman... you will never see a truer portrayal of the dark knight than the wb's early batman: the animated series batman.
