I have to agree with you phredgreen. Reeves was a relative nobody and if you ask anyone if they remember a movie he starred in before or after the Superman series they will most likely draw a blank. If the producers of this new installment tried to do what the Batman movies did (cast big names like Val kilmer and George Clooney for their sequels) it would be to predictable and over-the-top. Casting a newcomer should do well. It worked for Reeves and WB's Smallville.
