How is Batman Australian? All of the actors who have played him (TV/film) have been American until Bale. He was born in Wales to parents of English descent.

The new Spidey, Andrew Garfield was born in Los Angeles. His mom is British, but his dad is not. So Spidey is British-American and Jewish. :D

holy crap Cheese I was kidding around. Sensitive today?

I was just considering the irony given that Supermans credo was "Truth, Justice and the AMERICAN way." I really dont care who plays him as long as he doesn't suck.

A new Spiderman huh? Well thats just gonna suck.. Spiderman is the only superhero movies I like or watch.. I thought Tobey was great at the role.. He must have not wanted to do it anymore or demanded too much money huh?

yeah, they blew out everyone involved in the first three movies and are rebooting the entire series from scratch... will be much cheaper... and i'm expecting nowhere near as good as the first two.

IMO, Superman hasn't been done right since the George Reeves old time serial. Christopher Reeves was good but the movies were beyond cartoonish. And Superman Returns was just a mess. I hope this movie is better. I'd love to see a Doomsday storyline used with the death of Superman. Maybe in 2 parts.

He pretty much whined about how physically challenging the role was the hole team. Pretty sure it was a mutual decision to go different directions, even before the decision to reboot the franchise.

If I were TM and I saw the script for Spiderman 3, I would've quit right then and there.

Diane Lane as Martha Kent.

A sure sign that my generation is getting old. I still have fond memories of her as a teenager in a coming of age movie and I was 25 when "A Little Romance" came out.

Wow, times have changed. I remember her in The Outsiders as Cherry Valance. I was in high school when that came out. Now she's playing an old spinster? Yikes.
Martha Kent isn't a spinster, she's a farm wife (spinsters are older women who've never been married, Martha has).
Diane Lane is still fap-able.
