For me it's Tom. Got used to seeing him in Smallville for so many years that it feels that he's the new REAL Superman. Brandon has a long way to go.

Tom looks better in the first pic. That's for sure. I think one thing that hurt Brandon was images like this poster.

Superman Returns
I've had time to analyze it. I got a free copy and hung it in my comic book room with my other superhero movie posters.

It's a neat perspective, but it makes Brandon look too skinny. Some of argued here that Brandon is really the same size as Christopher Reeve, but it was almost like they went out of their way to present him as super skinny. I wonder if even the costume wasn't made to create the appearance of thinness. It's hollywood they know how to make someone short look tall, someone fat look skinny etc. It's all in the lighting and angles unless of course they've forgotten those old tricks thanks to falling back on cgi too much.

Check out all the Superman Returns posters

Now take a look at this movie poster.

His costume appears lighter blue, and the action shot takes away from the perception at least to me anyway that he's too thin to be Superman.

Tom and Reeve are definitely bigger than him. Not that I'm saying that he doesn't fit Superman at all. There were Dean Cain and George Reeves... >_>

I like Dean Cain's Clark Kent protrayal a lot. In the suit he did seem kind of short for Superman just a little bit. Of course these guys have to be super thin to fit into the suit without having a belly so it's hard to be very muscular and still keep that look unless you are training for a weight lifting competition.

Tom was working as a construction worker before he took the role so definitely a plus in terms of body fitness.

wow, looking at the last pic of Brandon, he looks a little like me.

Yeah, who knew that a person could go from being a construction worker to a clothing model to an actor on a successful series.
