Brandon James Routh Quotes

• [on being replaced by Henry Cavill as Superman] I would have liked to have done another movie. I love the character, and the fans are great. It has been an amazing family to be a part of. I feel like I still had more to do, and to grow as the character. But Henry [Cavill] is a great actor and has done a nice job. I’m happy for Superman fans that they get another film.
• I’m happy to have anyone as a fan, no matter race, religion, political party, sexual orientation, or sports team affiliation. [Interview, June 24, 2010]
• [on making the Superman character darker]: I don’t know how much darker you want to make it necessarily. You make the stakes higher, you make the villain darker, I think that’s a way to do it. But I don’t think Superman himself needs to be darker. He definitely has to struggle, but I don’t think Superman should ever be dark and brooding, that’s not his nature. And that’s not what people want to see.
• [on being asked if he ever thought playing Superman would be bad for his career]: “No. I mean, I was wary of what being Superman meant to my life, the possibilities of what it might mean, but then I think of all the positives and that kind of takes it all away. There are a lot of negatives to not do it, too.”
• People will like me, I think, because I do a good job in the film, but I also realize that the appeal isn’t just me. It’s the character. It’s the film. It’s what Superman stands for and brings to the table. Not just me.
• I’m kind of slowly becoming a star. I’ve kept my sanity. I’ve learned along the way, all these months that I’ve been here and slowly doing interviews and the suit picture getting released on the Internet-all this has come very gradual, which has really helped me to get it straight in my head and not go over the top. I know that that’s a minuscule amount of exposure that’s going to happen. It’s going to be all over the place and it’s going to become ridiculous at some point. The other thing that I realize is that it’s not me so much as the character and the icon of Superman.
• [When asked if he’s ready for the changes that will follow in his life upon being cast as Superman]: “I have no idea. But I am prepared to be prepared.”
• [Talking about wearing the Superman costume]: “Very confining. But once you get past that – which is sometimes hard – it’s also very empowering. First time I put it on, I felt… stronger. Like a different level of who I am. It makes playing the character much easier.”
• [Talking about his work with a movement coach to capture Superman’s physical presence]: “We worked on posture. Spine straight, hips forward, neck in line – just a clean motion moving through the world. [on the bright side] I slouch less.”
