Doesn't Superman age? Clark Kent would have to show aging, so it might be best to have someone in their 30s (now) cast so that we can see the change in age. I know it can be done with makeup and stuff, but I always like real change better. I think the most notable change in age, once one is past their teens/early 20s, is between 30s and 40s.
But hey, it's Superman. As long as the person has acting talent, I really don't care.

No, I dont think Superman ages (that much), they say in the comics it is due to his Kryptonian dna.
(on the other hand, what would happen if Batman died and Superman was stil alive?)
Also, I think Superman DOES age, just very slowly.

I remember reading at one time in an issue of the Superman comic that the average natural lifespan of a Kryptonian is a little over 200 years.
I've read that now in the comics, Superman is always supposed to be in his late-30s. And it is traditional Superman canon that Clark Kent began his career as Superman at the age of 28.
I think Caviezel could pass for 28.

Caviezel plays Jesus in The Passion of the Christ. He was also the lead actor in Frequency, The Count of Monte Cristo, and starred in a few others. He's in his mid 30s now. But I don't think he looks that old. I too think he could pass for 28.

James Caviezel would be an amazing Superman! Unfortunately, the latest rumor floating in the internet is that Bryan Singer wants a young actor to be casts as Superman. Lets just hope those that rumor is false, Harry Knowles is wrong and Millar was right and Caviezel really does have the role.

As fanservicey as this sounds, I genuinely think Smallville actor Tom Welling should continue on as Superman, he is approaching the right age, he can pull it off! He was born for this role! Also i would love to keep Michael Rosenbaum on board as Lex Luthor, i think he's done a -fantastic- job humanizing Lex while still protraying all the things that lead to Lex Luthor villaindom. :) None of the other acotrs though, except maybe the Kents... new life for Clark!

What would be really smart to do would be to wait until Smallville ends to make the Superman movie. Then they can make the movie a spin-off of the series.
The movie would be about how Clark finally becomes Superman after all those years in Smallville. Michael McKean would actually reprise his role as Perry White and of course Lex would finally become the villain he was destined to be.
That would be great. It would give the Superman movie, more seriousness with it already having such a detailed backstory in a television series that lasted possibly seven years.
Of course, then again they could still go with casting Caviezel!
