One more thing: The 'Bullet Test.'Let me explain:
BULLET TEST NO. 1:
Superman (Routh): The guy was basically getting shot at with an AP Gattling Gun, and he basically shrugged off the entire fussilade like they were droplets of water. However, MORE IMPORTANTLY (when it comes to the 'Bullet Test' TM), he got a single bullet fired at him from a handgun, point blank range, at his eye! And the bullet, upon coming into contact with his cornea, simply got mashed up and fell down.
The guy was perfectly invulnerable, to the point that a slug cannot even TICKLE his eye in the least.
SUPERMAN (ROUTH) PASSES THE 'BULLET TEST.'
BULLET TEST NO. 2:
The Hulk (First movie): The Hulk horribly fails the 'Bullet Test.' Well, while he cannot be killed by bullets (many were fired at him, from personell weapons to miniguns in Comanche attack helicopters), the EFFECT of those bullets on him were easy to note.
For one, they definitely irritated him. He FELT them. They did not hurt him, but he felt them (compare and contrast with Routh getting shot in the eye and .....well, nothing!)
SECONDLY, the impact of the bullets on his skin left ripple marks. They were actually going in a bit before bouncing off (again, compare that effect on movie Hulk's skin with the effect of the bullet on Superman's eye).
Basically, while the Hulk can be said to be invulnerable to bullets, he is not at the same level as the Routh Superman (clearly).
I believe at one point in the movie one of the bad guys was trying to stick some drill thingimajig into the Hulk's eye when he was immobilized by the sticky-goo stuff.
He does not pass the 'Bullet Test' to the same level as Routh.
BULLET TEST NO. 3:
Then we have Hancock. Now, this is obviously being written before the movie comes out, so it is SOLELY based on the trailer.
What is apparent is that Hancock definitely passes the 'Bullet Test.' The only question is HOW WELL he passes it.
I think he does very well.
For one, there is a scene where he crash lands into a car with perps, and they shoot at him. The bullets ricochet off him, and strike two of the perps.
If you look at that shot in the trailer, you will realize that his sun-glasses have two holes in them (where the eyes should be). Now, that is only based on the trailer, but it does seem as if he passed the bullet-in-the-eye test.
CONCLUSION:
Routh's character definitely passes the 'Bullet Test.'
So does Will Smith's character.
The Hulk, on the other hand, fails (well ...technically fails, because even though he may not DIE from bullets, he is not breezing through them either pain free .....based on the first movie. So Hulk fans, I am NOT talking about comicbook Hulk).
Thus you can eliminate the Hulk based on the 'Bullet Test,' leaving Superman and Hancock.
Then this is where my first post picks up from (comparing the Routh movie with the Hancock trailer, which is somewhat unfair). However, so far, tossing a land-mass (be it a large island or a small continent) DEFINITELY trumps tossing a whale a mile-off into the sea.
Easily.
And that doesn't include the other powers that Superman brings to the fight that Hancock does not.
Hancock is basically a Black Adam/Captain Marvel character, who are basically Superman WITHOUT the full-array of powers (all they have is strength, speed, invulnerability and flight). The only reason people say that Black Adam and Captian Marvel can be a problem from Kal El is because their powers are magic based, otherwise they would be Superman-lite.
Hancock's powers, so far, are not magic based. Thus, he is basically Superman (and we don't know whether he is as strong as Routh's Superman, but let's assume he is in the ball park ....which may not be the case), but with only flight, strength and speed (again, even Iron Man can cause a sonic boom, but movie Superman is much faster than that). He does not have the other powers Superman would bring to the fight.
Anyways, in my opinion, the ranking would be Routh (Superman)-Will(Hancock) -Eric (Hulk), with the Hulk not even DESERVING to be in the fight (he is better of struggling against gamma-irradiated poodles), and Hancock being based on a trailer.
Either way, the Hancock movie will be super. It will show what Superman would be if he took lessons from Black Adam (and maybe also from Tony Stark in the alcohol department).
The movie Hulk (first movie) is better off fighting movie Iron Man than tangling against Routh Superman or Hancock. Either would simply kill him (with Hancock doing it in a spectacularly cool way)
