So This Is Your Superman? / Another Reported "Dark Knight" Casting Rumor

It's being reported that Henry Cavill, of Showtime's mini-series "The Tudors" is the new Superman for Zack Snyder's upcoming reboot. A few articles point out that the major actors for Su[erman, Batman, and Spider-Man are all UK actors.

I liked the previous one, Brandon Routh, especially his Clark Kent. I hope the story is good.

Casting rumors keep trickling in for "The Dark Knight Rises," the upcoming third film in Christopher Nolan's Batman series. On Saturday, unconfirmed reports surfaced that Robin Williams may be the man for the role of Dr. Hugo Strange.

While no plot details have been officially released, many insiders have suggested that in the film, psychotic psychologist Dr. Strange will be tapped by the Gotham police forces to help track and capture Batman (Christian Bale).

Williams was up for roles in previous Batman films in the 1990s, but never accepted the offers. However, last summer he told reporters that he'd love to work in Nolan's Batman universe. "I would do Batman in a second," he said. "I'd play The Riddler in the next one, although it would be hard to top Heath Ledger as the villain and I'm a little hairy for tights."

Make way for a new superhero – or at least a new version of an old superhero.

In the first photo released from the set of the fourth Spider-Man movie, a brooding and intense Andrew Garfield slips into the skin-tight, red and blue Spider-Man costume, officially taking the reins from Tobey Maguire in the popular franchise.

For those who have yet to get to know Garfield, the Los Angeles-born actor, 27, was raised in England and was seen on movie screens recently in The Social Network.
