And now we arrive at the biggest offender. Superman Returns. Superman comes back to earth and finds out some other guy at the Daily Planet is fucking Lois Lane. Superman goes full stalker and flies around the trees outside her house and watches them fuck through her window. The man can literally fly and shoot lasers out of his eyes, and yet another man is fucking his girlfriend, and he just floats around and watches. He's an actual cuckold. But at least Lex Luthor is in this one again. He now has a ridiculously cool yacht and an even bustier bimbo. He's the man who has everything. And in this movie he basically doesn't even have an evil plan, he just wants to kick Superman's ass again, for fun. Because that's the only thing that can give him a thrill anymore. And he fucking does it again. Superman shows up to fight Lex, then gets exposed to kryptonite. So now Superman isn't invincible anymore, and Lex just kicks the living shit out of him and it is so embarrassing. Superman at this point is actually crying, see the pic up top.

So he's crying his eyes out like a baby and being slapped around by Lex and thrown into the mud. Superman is such a pussy and is so used to being unkillable, that as soon as Lex uses kryptonite and Superman realizes he can actually get hurt this time, FOR ONCE, he shrinks to the pressure and just lets the old man beat him into a pulp and throw him into the fucking ocean. He is so smug all the time when he knows hes invincible and can't be even mildly injured, but the second you play the kryptonite card and he actually has to engage in a fair fight on a level playing field, one where he can actually be hurt, he freaks out and suddenly decides he doesn't want to fight you anymore. Anyway Lex proceeds to smack the fucking piss out of him and Superman ends up in the hospital on an IV, almost dies, and Lex just flies off into the sunset in a helicopter with his busty wife. Then they run out of gas conveniently and the movie just ends. Superman loses yet again, and Lex just happened to run out of gas.

Superman is 0 for 4 against Lex Luthor and he has ended up in the hospital more times than he's put any villains in the hospital. He has never actually beaten any villain, he's only ever won by fruity little loopholes like rewinding time or hoping you run out of gas. In essence, he is the kid who unplugs your Nintendo 64 when you're about to beat him.

Welll people whine and bitch when he throws a punch at anything so that's why we rarely get to see him in action.

Brandon Routh I think, had the same problem as George Clooney as Batman or George Lazenby as James Bond, I never completely bought him as Superman. And I think that is part of the reason why he didn't have a bigger film career as maybe, he was expected to be. Granted, I don't know how much that's his fault specifically or that's the fault of the writing and direction.

But I do agree that one of the problems is that his Superman comes across as a wuss and non-entity. He doesn't have much warmth, charisma, or presence like say Christopher Reeve or even Henry Cavill's interpretation. It simply isn't just that we don't see him throwing a punch and what not.

With Henry Cavill, at least you could genuine believe that he could kick somebody's ass in a fight even when exposed to Kryptonite.

Non-entity is an accurate description.
