Teh Ghey Superman

So this weekend, the first few photos from the new Superman film, which won't hit theaters until July 2006, hit the Internet. I'm sure there had been rumblings among the kind of people who follow comic book movies two years before they come out that this new Superman had the potential to be teh ghey, just because it's being directed by the openly teh ghey Bryan Singer, and the closeted Kevin Spacey has been cast as Lex Luthor. I mean, can you imagine? I remember reading a whle back that this kid Brandon Routh had been cast as Superman, but it never occurred to me at the time to do a "no homo" background check on him. As it turns out, this kid is most likely a peter puffer himself, with his main acting credit up to this point being an appearance on an episode of Will and Grace called, get this, "A Gay/December Romance."

Which makes you wonder what exactly Bryan Singer is up to throwing all this teh gheyness up into the Superman mix. Is Superman going to end up tongue kissing Lex Luthor? No homo. Will the new costume (partially pictured above) come with an anatomically correct bulge in the crotch, Batman and Robin-style? No homo. Speaking of which, you'd think that Wonder Brothers would have learned something from that whole fiasco. Namely, that nobody (OK, at least not 90% of the population) is interested in seeing a teh ghey comic book movie.
