Certainly, for younger guys, Superman is this mythological character that they've thought about and explored in their imaginations... But one thing I really like about Superman fans is that they're so open-minded and excited and honest. There's something beautiful about their enjoyment of it - something very Superman-like.
I’m training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman,
I didn't see a lot of comic books growing up.
I don't think Americans look bad in spandex.
My mother works in a bank, and my dad is the head of my management team and also works in finance.
It's difficult to judge other actors, because as an actor you're looking at different things than what an audience is looking at.
Finding the physical aspect is important to me because that is often how we read people in everyday life.
There is a story that you have to tell within a certain amount of time, and you can only show so much of the character. So as much as the script is born from the source material, there are certain limitations.
Whether someone else would have played Superman better or worse would be up for a lot of debate on the internet forums, I'm sure.
If you're a good actor, then you channel enough of yourself into the character so that you do get that other thing.
I know there are a lot of people who like to get very involved in their characters, but I, personally, find it too involved. I just like to do it as a job - and it's my job to make it look real.
I hate to say "found himself" - it sounds so ridiculous.
I liked Superman/Batman: The Search for Kryptonite because I really enjoyed the interaction between those two characters.
I prefer more of the modern stuff - just because I can associate with the imagery more.
