Dear PopSense readers, I love you, thank you for humoring me. I'm not sure at what point during the process of composing this poll question that I decided to disregard the fact that there was a remake of Superman in 2006 starring Brandon Routh (no one I care about) that I probably saw but have just blocked out of my mind. In my defense, these sort of things tend to happen when Hollywood has a way with pretending that certain things never existed. A few months ago when I first saw a preview for Edward Norton's Hulk, I didn't pay attention to the first 20 minutes of the movie I was intending to see because I just sat there trying to figure out if I had just dreamed about seeing an updated version of the Hulk, or if reincarnation was real. Obviously, you all know the answer to this question, but as I sat there looking around the theatre nervously, waiting for some form of confirmation that I wasn't the only one who had just seen a shitty remake of the Hulk very recently, I think I decided to block out any other past superhero movies I had seen. That being said, y'all voted for Jake Gyllenhaal, strong decision definitely, I could see it. We all know Tom Cruise wouldn't be allowed to do it for Scientologist purposes, and Ben Affleck wouldn't do it unless Matt Damon got the role of Lois Lane. Oh, and while I was making excuses earlier about this poll question, I purposefully didn't include the fact that I made Sean Penn an option, because there really is no excuse for that.
