I don't think the director would mind personally since he's gay but what about the fans?

I think it would be the biggest mistake of his life. He can kiss anymore Superman movies goodbye.

Uh oh, Dance_Inside. You better get on this. Sounds like Brandon's getting drafted for the other team...

Is this an offer he's accepted, or just a rumour?

Rumor.

Maybe he just needs the money...

Didn't he receive $2 million for "S.R."?

Some people won't make half that in a lifetime.

He WAS offered to pose for Playgirl. But so is nearly every other celebrity. Brad Pitt was offered at least a dozen times.

He's likely to refuse if he wants to keep his career and his role as Superman in the sequel...

Why would this efect him in his role as Superman?

Because Superman is as conservative and sacred as apple pie and the American Flag.

If the star playing Superman sports a large erection and spreads his ass cheeks for Playgirl, than it would reflect badly on Superman.

It would tick off alot of people.

What is that supposed to mean?

That Singer is openly gay. No big secret.

The poster is obviously making a joking reference to the director's homosexuality and Routh's rumored consideration of a Playgirl layout. Playgirl's subscription base is widely known to primarily consist of gay men. Again, no big secret. Thus, the joke goes something like this: Routh's "Nude Layout"-Playgirl-Singer eagerly anticipating Routh's centerfold spread (Pun intended).

Maybe this is the Superman Curse lol.

Maybe so, NoFate. Maybe so.

Hahahaha shut up!
just kidding..but seriously
I definitly think he shouldn't do this, as much as his body turns me on I don't like this idea. I think he'll turn it down for sure, hes too much of a small town gentleman...I just really hope he doesn't.

Just becauase Singer is gay, he'll go after any man, right?
Stupid comment. That's not the issue at all.
It may not be wise for him to take this offer, but playing Superman shouldn't dictate other film roles for him, either. If he had a role that required nudity or a sex scene, should he say no because he plays Superman in the movies?

It would tick off alot of people. A conservative who has premarital sex, impregnates a woman out of wedlock, leaves her and comes back 5 years later to stalk her...

man, I really hope he doesn't do it...

Relax Double R. Don't blow an eye socket, I was kidding about the gay thing. What do I know and care about what Singer thinks. On top that it's beside the point. Realign your brain for me.

Consider it an unofficial rule that no actor currently playing Superman is allowed to purposely expose his male genitalia for millions of people during his tenure as Superman. The aftermath places merchandising/advertising of any Superman film into extreme jeopardy especially when particularly reaching out to those demographics of 5-13 year-old children (not to mention outraged parents).

Recipe for disaster which results in the lead role being recast....

I'd heard it was much less...

i'd have thought it was just plain common sense...

Yeah, it won't happen. I bet there's a clause somewhere in his contract that prohibits him from doing any activities that could be seen as being detrimental to future revenues for the sequels, considering he's now THE image of the Superman franchise. I bet Christian Bale and Tobey Maguire have something like this in theirs too, considering they all have multi-picture deals in huge franchises.

Daniel Radcliffe AKA Harry Potter, is preparing to star in a revival of the play EQUUS in London. He WILL be naked on stage for a couple of scenes. And he's just 17. ( Yes - actually nude.)
His advisors aren't holding him back, saying it's bad for his career. Maybe Routh should be cut some slack, if he agrees to this.

Not the same thing. Routh might as well pose on the cover of Advocate if he does a Playgirl layout. He'll kill his career unless he plans on doing porn from here on out.

Precisely, many if not of all these actors are constricted or barred from specified actions until they are no longer involved with the franchises.

Burt Reynolds posed for Playgirl just when his fame was starting to rise. The result? He became the biggest box-office star for over a decade.

Was he playing Superman or obligated to any similar franchise?

A good example was that guy who was the Dell dude. He was basically the young image of Dell, and it was his image and character that was used to sell to the 15 to 25 year old crowd when it comes to PC's. Well guess what happened. He was caught in possession of some drugs, and bam he was instantly fired because of it. Why would Dell do something like this? Because they have to maintain a clean and wholesome image, especially considering that their market of 15 to 25 years old's usually has an adult doing the purchasing for them. Once these parents associate Dell with any bad publicity, sales will be effected.

Same goes with the Superman franchise. It's main actor has to keep himself out of any negative publicity of any kind, or else the Superman movie franchise could lose any potential future revenue.

Oh yeah! I remember him! Hah!
