Jun 8 2004Jake Gyllenhaal
Looks like the rumors about Jake Gyllenhaal being the next Superman were completely false. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved.
Though he made an excellent Donnie Darko, there's no way his boyish looks could have pulled off the sheer masculine power of Superman. Actually, there's nobody in Hollywood that I could see portraying the Man of Steel. The best job so far was done by the under appreciated Dean Cain on the short lived TV show Lois and Clark. Other than that, all the other Supermans have been pretty miscast, including Christopher Reeves. He just doesn't look or feel like Superman. He's more the gay uncle type.

I don't know who is Christopher Reeves, but you seem to be referring to either George Reeves or Christopher Reeve (I'm assuming the latter). I don't understand, he didn't look/feel like Superman to you? Are you feeling okay? lol. I liked Dean Cain as Clark Kent, but not Superman.
